"Y/n come down. Mum and Dad are on facetime and want to talk with you." I hear Tom shout from downstairs. I jolt down the stairs and to the phone. Mum is the first one to talk to me.

"Hey sweetie, how are you?" Mum says before I answer I take the phone away and walk to a different area of the house.

"Hold on Mum. Tom, Harry, Sam, can you guys go somewhere else while I make this call I don't feel comfortable with you guys listening to the call. Harrison can stay though." I say. They all go to a different room because they don't want to anger me more than they already have.

"Sorry about that Mum. I'm good, how are you?" I say starting up the casual conversation once again.

"We, are good," Mum says.

"Got there safe?" I say.

"Yes, we did indeed," Mum says.

"Good. Listen, mum. there is something I need to talk to you and dad about. Is dad there?" I ask.

"Yes, he is, hang on. Dominic! Y/n is on the phone and it's important!" Mum says.

"Hey darling," Dad says.

"Hey dad," I say.

"Now sweetheart, what is this important announcement you wanted to speak with us about?" Dad says. I take a deep breath and begin to talk.

"Mum, Dad so you know how I have that gig from my voice class at the karaoke place or whatever, apparently Ms. Reyes is the aunt of Shawn Mendes and he wanted to see me sing," I say to Mum and Dad.

"That is wonderful darling, but might we ask where is this heading to?" Mum says with a flash of concern on her face.

"So, apparently Shawn went to the dance competition because he is in town for his tour, and talked to me about the gig. Apparently, he helped Ms. Reyes set it up as is going to see me sing and if he likes what he hears, he wants me to help him with the tour. I just wanted to know if you guys were alright with that because he said it would be recommended if I asked my guardians because as you guys know everyone thinks I'm an orphan." I tell Mum and Dad with a smile as I see the expressions of their face go from emotionless to a bit sad.

"Darling, that is an amazing opportunity but we don't know. What if something happens? And what if the public gets suspicious?" Dad begins.

"Dad, Shawn Mendes will watch me and plus they don't think I have any relations with the term Holland. hence me having no last name in public. It would be an amazing opportunity to possibly get a record deal. Please, Mum, Dad I never ask for anything in my life and for once I am asking, please can I do this?" I say begging on the phone.

"Fine, sweetie but you have to tell your brothers and we want Shawn's contact information," Mum says.

"That is fine I'll text you guys his number, but why do I have to tell Tom. You know how he is, he will probably change your decision and make it about him as he does with everything. Honestly, without him would I really be a secret?" I say with a disappointed expression on my face.

"Y/n/n yes you have to tell him. He is your brother no matter what he does. And there is no way he is changing our decision but don't think he won't be against it. And, you know we did that to protect you so please don't put the blame on him, it's on every single one of us." Dad says.

"Y/n can you bring in your brothers, so we can tell them to make sure they know," Mum says. Damn, she could see right through me. I nod my head as I go out to my brothers.

I go up to Tom and give him a side hug. "Have I ever told you that I look up to you. Both you and the twins?" I say to try to smoother them into a good mood.

"No?" Tom says while raising an eyebrow.

"Well, I do. I want to be like you guys. From photography to piano playing." I look up at Tom. "To acting and singing. I always have. You guys inspire me." I say.

"Aww, darling," Tom says as he gives me a hug and a kiss on the head.

"Now, I need you all to come to talk to Mum and Dad it's important. Remember I love you all." I say they all have confused expressions on their faces. They all follow me back into the living room and I hold Tom's hand as we got to the phone.

"Hello, boys. Now before any of you freak out. We have talked with Y/n and have decided she can take this opportunity but you guys have to know about it in some sort of way." Dad begins.

"Basically, Y/n has been part of this music program after school and has gotten a gig at the karaoke club and apparently her dance and music teacher is the aunt to pop star Shawn Mendes. He went to the dance competition and talked to her about a chance of helping him out in tour, so he is going to be with her in the gig today. We agreed she could go on the tour but we would still like your opinions. Tom, you look like you really want to say something, what is it?" Mum says and I start to get anxious because Tom doesn't look too happy about the whole situation.

"I don't know. I don't really like the sound of this. She is only 15 and going on a tour and being known to the world isn't this what we wanted to avoid when she was kept a secret?" Tom says.

"We understand Tom, but hasn't she been through enough. We don't exactly let her get a chance for opportunities like this." Mum says.

"I mean I understand. I just want her to be safe. I think the only way I could be okay with this is if I go with her to this gig tonight but I don't want the paparazzi starting shit up." Tom says.

"Then go in disguise. Shawn Mendes is also big with the paparazzi and no one knows he was here so figure it out, Tom. She has no link with the Holland name and you know that. So, stop making everything about your reputation and let her have an opportunity." Dad says.

"Fine. Bye, Mum and Dad. Talk to you guys later." Tom says and hangs up the phone.

"Thank you, Thank you. Tom" I say as I jump into his arms and give him a kiss on the cheek.

"I just want you to be safe Y/n/n and if this is really what you want who am I going to be to prevent you from having it," Tom says putting me down.
