"Hello Liam, this is Simon. I called you because of our new show. You still have to announce your place as a judge. The 5 Seconds of Summer boys did, the Jonas Brothers did, Little Mix did, only you are left now. Just tweet a small message or something, announcing your position, we'll do the rest. I hope we'll see it online soon.
See you in a week at our meeting." My voicemail greets me.

I sigh and open up my Twitter. The fans are already speculating the last judge for Starway, and my name has been mentioned a few times, but I don't think it was anything really thinking it would be me. I didn't expect that they would.

Most of them are guessing for BTS since they're big now, or this band that plays heavy metal and apparently played at the Eurovision Song Contest.

Well I don't like that anyway.

Altrough, today something else is happening. The fans are talking about some new band that posted a cover of our song, Where Do Broken Hearts Go. I tap one of the tweets and watch the attached video. Altrough it's short, you hear a girl with an amazing singing voice, and see a boy playing the drums.

They sound quite good, which is why I am searching for them on YouTube just a few minutes later.

They have a few purple and blue triangles as their picture, and their banner had the same color theme but there it also said 'Anonymously MADE'. It isn't perfect, but I didn't expect that. The video is surprisingly the only one on their channel, and has been watched 500 thousand times in just 2 days, which is impressive for a band that had never posted anything before, and never participated in a television show, because if they did, it would show up.

I watch their entire video, which exists of quite good music, and a really good singing voice. It doesn't have the best quality and you can hear a few noises in the background but it definitely is good. Better than any just starting band I've heard of. I might even say better than young One Direction, because they can in fact make all of their music themselves.

The boys have to see this, and that's what I'm going to make sure of.

I should probably clean up, seeing as Zayn will judge me if I don't, and Niall will come half an hour early because he was bored. It has happened before, it'll happen again.

I walk into the bathroom to take a quick shower before I have breakfast and afterwards I'll clean up downstairs. If I still have time I'll go to the gym and maybe do some grocery shopping.

"Limaaa!" Niall screams as soon as he gets in, at freaking 2 o'clock. "Over here Neil!" I reply, just as loud. He walks into the kitchen and sits down at the bar thingy, I honestly have no idea what it's called. "I watched that one thing you told us about in the group chat." He says.
"They're good right?"
"Yeah, that girl has quite a voice, and they play quite good as well."

"Lima!" Louis suddenly screams, jumping on my back.
"Neil!" Harry squeals, hugging him.

"Hey guys." I say, pulling Louis down.
"How's marriage going?" Niall asks.
"Do you really have to ask that every single time we see you? We've been married for like 5 years now." Louis says, clearly annoyed and sitting down next to Harry.

"Well yeah, since you guys still can't come out for it." Niall says, and he's right. The not coming out thing has been quite the issue when they just got together and when they married. It kinda has gone away, but it's still there, and it sucks.

"Niall, we know. Just don't talk about it everytime." Harry says.
"Fine."

We sit in silence for about 10 minutes when I hear a familiar voice and something that sounds like falling.
"Bloody carpet."
I rush into the hallway to see Zayn standing up there.
"Hey mate." I say.
"Hey Liam, and Louis, Harry and Niall." He replies, seeing as Louis, Harry and Niall all popped up from the kitchen as well. I gesture to the sitting room and ask if they want something to drink.

They all get iced tea, like always. When I get back into the sitting room, I see that once again, Zayn and Louis broke into a playful fight. Zayn is winning this time trough.

I put the drinks on the table and say: "Can we talk now?"
"Ofcourse Liam." Harry says, pulling Louis from under Zayn and putting him onto the sofa. Louis pouts and Niall laughs at that, and pulls Zayn on the couch, next to him. I sit in some squishy chair, which is nicer than it sounds, really.

"So I have to announce that I am going to be a judge on Starway, but I only want to if there's a good group, and I've seen a few of the bands who are going to be on the show. They're horrible. Just plain out horrible, and I don't want to be stuck with that." I say.
"Well you have Anonymously MADE right? As long as you get them..." Niall says, optimistically.

"They're not in the show Niall. Twitter, insta and Tumblr blew up because they are good, and played our 2014 not that popular song, not because they are going to be in some show, they'll just watch the show then." Louis tells him.

"They're good trough, need some vocal training but they're good. I could help with that." Zayn says softly.

"Yeah, and they need to practice their guitar skills a little. Pretty sure they just got the chords online and started practicing them." Niall announces.

"I could help them with choosing songs and such, they sound a little pop rock, and I listen that a lot." Louis says.

"Okay, but we still need to get them on the show then, right?" Harry asks, and I nod, silently asking him to continue, "Well, what if you challenge them to participate in Starway? You'll announce your role as a judge or coach trough that."

"That's actually not a bad idea." I say, grabbing my phone.
"Let's do it!" Louis says, walking over to me to check the tweet.

I quickly type out the tweet and send it.

There's no going back now. I just hope they show up.

"It'll be fine. Maybe Simon calls you because he disagrees with you announcing your role like this but what can he do? Delete the tweet?
He's not your manager anymore Liam." Zayn says.
"He's not my manager, but he's still my boss." I say, looking at the boys.

"Let's do something else. Have y'all seen Endgame? We should watch it!" Niall says. I shake my head.
"Sure Niall. Put it on." Louis answers him, tossing the remote from the side table.

I turn towards the television and let my attention go to some other world with superheroes.

This is my shortest chapter yet, and for the reason that I don't know how to write Liam. Any suggestions?
