Opening Act {N.H}

4

We all got into the same car that Paul picked us up from the airport in. I could tell the girls were nervous, I was too. Now that we're actually driving to meet with one direction, it all seems real. This could be our big break. We could go on tour and become a famous girl band.

Thinking about all the possibilities of what could happen if we went on tour had me start thinking about things that could go wrong. I was excited to be potentially touring worth 1D, but now I'm nervous of what could happen if they don't want us to come with them. I had turned down a soccer scholarship to Arizona State University, if we end up not going on tour then I just threw away my opportunity for an education. I can't afford to put myself through college, that scholarship was my only chance of ever going to collage. I guess now all I can do is hope they don't change their minds.

***20 minutes later***

We pulled up to a brown 2 story brick building, it wasn't what I was expecting. I thought we would be meeting in a posh and stylish building but instead it's a plain building that's probably 30 years old.

We got out of the car and went into the building. Paul was in front, leading us through the hallways and to the room one direction was in. Catie was behind Paul then Marin, Ashley, and I was bringing up the rear.

We turned down a hallway and I started to hear music and singing, particularly I heard Best Song Ever playing and 5 angelic voices singing.

Paul brought us to the room that the music was coming from and when we stepped into the room I instantly saw 5 boys running around attempting to dance. It was priceless, we all know they can't dance but it's fun seeing them try.

When the song ended they turned around finally noticed our presence. The second they saw us all of them sprouted big smiles. They walked towards us and started greeting us. Being in the back I was ignored for a moment. Liam was introducing himself to Catie, Zane and Louis were saying hi to Marin, and Harry was talking to Ashley.

"Hello" I heard an Irish accent say from my left

"Hi" I replied back as I turned and found myself face to face with Niall James Horan.

"I'm Niall"

"Nice to meet you, I'm-"

"You're Layla"

"Yes, I am. how'd you know that?"

"I'm a big fan, I've seen all your videos. You're a great singer."

"Thank you! I'm a big fan of yours, so hearing you say you're a fan is just....wow"

"Hah thank you! oh my gosh your shirt is the craic!!!"

"Ummm thanks.... I think, what does that mean?"

"It means your shirt is amazing! I want one!?!"

Looking down and checking what shirt I had on, because I don't usually pay attention to what I wear. Seeing what it said 'feed me and tell me I'm pretty'. It made perfect sense now why Niall liked it so much, it describe his personality perfectly.

"Well thank you"

"You are very welcome! Sooooo.... how do you like London?"

"It's great, well from what I've seen its great"

"Have you not gone sight seeing yet?"

"No our flight landed early this morning so we haven't had anytime yet"

"Oh! Well the boys and me would love to show you girls around, maybe go get dinner and go walking around?"

"That sounds really fun!"

"Yeah, and it will give us a chance to get to know each other I mean after all we could be spending the next 6 months together"

So they do want us to come on tour!!! AND Niall just asked if he could show me around London! Well he asked if him and the boys could show around me and the girls, but practically the same thing.

"Hello I'm Liam" Liam introduced himself as he came over towards me and Niall.

"Hi nice to meet you, I'm Layla"

"I was just telling Layla that we would love to show her and the girls around London" Niall informed Liam.

"That sounds fun, hey boys what do you think about taking these loving ladies around town?" Liam asked the boys. Louis, Zayn, and Harry stopped their conversations with Marin, Catie, and Ashley. All of them said that sounded good.

"Well let's start this meeting before I completely lose you guys" Paul said as he tried gathering us to a big table set up in the corner of the big room.

"Okay well we are all very excited that you ladies could fly out here to finally meet in person" Paul started once we were all seated. "Boys would you like to explain what is going to happen on tour?"

"Sure" Louis said "so we are going on a world tour, starting here in London then going to the rest of the UK and Europe. Then we'll head to Japan and Australia then we'll hit Canada the US and Mexico."

"The tour will last about 6 months with small breaks every once in a while" Zayn added.

"Any questions?" Paul asked us.

"When do we start?" Ashely asked enthusiastically.

"Ha in about 3 weeks" Niall informed her.

"Sooooo what do you girls say? Will you be our opening act?" Liam asked us cautiously.

Ashley, Catie, Marin, and I all shred looks. You know the kind were you have a mini conversation with your friend just by glances, facial expressions and eye brow movements, that kind of looks. It seemed that all of us were on the same page and the girls unanimously decided I was to be the spokeswoman for us.

"Yes!" I answered the boys. As soon as the word slipped my mouth the boys were cheering and hugging. They came over to our side of the table and started including us in the celebration by giving each of us hugs.

Niall came over to me and opened his arms for a hug. Of course I gave him one, I would be crazy to pass up a Horan Hug! He embraced me in his strong arms and pulled me flush against his chest. IT. WAS. PURE. HEAVEN. as we pulled apart he gave me a kiss on the forehead, causing me to blush.

"I'm so happy you're coming with us" Niall told me.

Trying to hide my blushing cheeks and being to flustered to properly answer all I did was a little giggle to show that I was excited too.

"Well I'm starving, what do you say about heading out to get something to eat?" Niall asked me

"Sounds great"

"Hey boys lets get some food" Niall yelled to the boys causing them to stop their celebration. The group agreed to going to eat so we all headed out of the building and started walking down the street towards the main city.

Well I guess this is where everything starts.....
