"I'm Carly"
"I'm Sam"
"And this is ICarly" both girls say.
It's almost time to perform What Makes You Beautiful. Counting down the time.
"Now lets welcome...One Direction!"
Here we go.

"That's what makes you beautiful"
"We're clear" Nathan informs us.
Just a few more minutes of the show.
Everyone is talking and telling us we did good.
Then I feel two arms around my neck.
We're in the elevator and I see it's Jennette.
"You have a strong grip"
"Yeah. I don't know why they put that part in there."
"Me neither."
"You have a girlfriend?"
"Yeah. Her name's Alex, short for Alexis" I smile at the mention of her name.
"Cool"
--Alex's POV--
--tour bus--
"Zayn's pretty protective over you. Isn't he?" Calum asks.
"Why are you asking that?"
"You were talking to Michael and I saw his jaw tense up."
"Well, he is, a little. If a guy talks to me he'll ask why and all that. He just doesn't wanna lose me again, and I don't wanna lose him again.
"Again?"
"It's complicated"
"I have time"
"Louis met this girl at work. He brought her to their house to meet everyone and she kissed Zayn. I thought he kissed her and we took a break for a while"
"If anything like that happens again, tell me or one of the boys. We're all here for you"
"Can I tell you something?"
"Always"
I move my bracelets and trace the faint scars on my wrist.
"Alex, why did you?"
