Chapter 7

"WHAT?!? Are you kidding me? Please tell me you're kidding." I'm furious, nervous, and excited all at the same time. I've never had an interview before. How am I supposed to know what to say? I'm going to kill these boys.

"Relax Zoe. They aren't going to interview you directly. They will mainly ask us about you. They may ask you a question or two, but just know you don't have to answer if you don't feel comfortable." Liam informed me

I walk into the radio station with the boys and Paul, doing my best to avoid paparazzi. We are lead into a room where I assume the interview will be. We take a seat and put on our headphones. The interviewer walks in and takes a seat across from us.

"Hello everyone! I'm Jim, and I'll be interviewing you today! We are live in 3...2...1..."

First he asked all the standard questions that the boys have heard ten million times. Then he starts asking about me.

"So Harry was there any doubt in your mind about adopting Zoe?"

"Absolutely not!" Harry replied in an irritated tone.

He continues to ask random questions about me to the boys.

"Now before time runs out I have one last question."

He turns and stares directly at me. Oh shit, here we go.

"So Zoe, what's your story?"

"My story?"

"Yeah, rumor has it you come from a rough past, can you tell us about it?"

All color drained from my face. His question wasn't hurtful, but it came with taunting flashbacks. I can't tell him. I can't tell anyone. I notice everyone staring at me.

"Um... Zoe?" Jim asked.

I don't say anything. I just run out of the room. Alone, I need to be alone. I stumble across a janitors closet and lock myself inside. I can here Harry calling for me but I don't respond. All the boys probably hate me for running out of the interview like that. I really screwed things up. Suddenly, I hear a know at the door.

"Zoe? It's Harry, are you in there? Can I come in?"

I unlock the door and allow him inside.

"Hey kiddo!" He says excitedly.

I give him a weird look. Did he not just see what happened back there?

"What?"

I say nothing and continue to stare at him. He wipes the smile off his face and replaces it with a concerned look.

"I understand that's a pretty touchy subject for you. We probably should have told him before hand not to bring it up. I'm so sorry."

"That's okay. It's not your fault."

Fresh tears began to roll down my face. Harry opens his arms for a hug and I accept. We stay this way for a good five minutes. Me crying into his shoulder, and him rubbing circles on my back while whispering calming sshh noises into my ear.

"We should probably get out of here." Harry stated.

Walking through the radio station, I stay close to Harry and keep my head down. We meet up with the other boys in the lobby and get into the car. No one says a single word the whole ride home. All of the boys come into Harry's flat. I got straight to my room, leaving them in the living room. It's only 10:30 in the morning so I go back to sleep.

I'm awaken by Harry at 6:00. Wow, I slept for six hours. I must be jet lagged.

"Hey little one, the boys and I are going to grab some dinner. Want to join us?"

"Sure, give me like ten minutes to get ready."

Harry leaves my room and I change back into my romper. I touch up my makeup and fix my hair. I walk into the kitchen and am greeted by a chime of hellos from all five boys.

We find ourselves at a fancy restaurant just outside of London. The boys begin to discuss their upcoming American tour while I zone out and eat in silence. I began to think... When they go on tour will they leave me here? Or will they take me with them? If they do take me, what about school? I'm overwhelming my self with all these questions.

"What you thinking about Zoe?" Niall asks.

"Your tour actually."

"Aren't you excited? You're going to have so much fun touring the states with us!" Zayn chimed in.

"Wait, I get to come?"

"Well of course you do! Why wouldn't you?" Louis questions.

"I don't know, I just wasn't sure."

So that answers one of my questions.

"What about school?" I ask.

"School? Ew no you don't need that." Louis replied.

"Lou, she needs to go to school." Harry responded.

"Actually I think Louis is right!" I say cheerfully.

"No Zoe. You need an education" Wow. Harry is really being responsible about this whole situation.

"Well how is she going to go to school if we go from state to state every couple of days?" Louis asks.

"I could do online school." I suggest.

"Yeah, that would work." They all agreed.

"So, when do we leave?" I ask.

"Two days." Liam replied.

"We should start peaking soon." Zayn added

We finish dinner and drive back to Harry's flat. I go to bed dreaming about the exciting next two days.
