I'm SO Grounded

Chapter 19 ~ Interview Time

Laura's Pov

I woke up the next morning to Cal's alarm going off. He quickly shut it off and snuggled into me.

"Cal. You need to get up and get ready." "No. I can't."

"Babe. It's just one interview. Everything will be fine." "Can you come out there with us?"

"I don't think that's how it works Cal." "But if management says it's okay, will you?"

"I guess if management says it's okay, I'll go out there with y'all." "Promise?"

"Yes Cal. I promise." He got out of bed and said, "You're the best."

"So I've heard." He rolled his eyes and went in the bathroom.

I got off the bed and went down the hall to make sure the boys were up. I went into the guest room and said, "Alright boys. Get up. You need to get ready." Mikey said, "Laura. No. Sleep."

"Mikey. No. Get ready." Ash said, "I'll handle these two. You go deal with your fiance."

I nodded and walked out of the room. I went down to my room and sat on the bed. Cal came out of the bathroom and said, "Are they up?"

"Mostly. Ash is taking care of them." He sat on the bed next to me and said, "Do you think this is going to be a rough interview?"

"I don't know babe. Maybe a little bit. I definitely think it'll start off with questions about tour, so it'll be easy at first. But once you get to the questions about the hiatus, that's when it'll be difficult." "B-But you'll be out there, right?"

"If management says it's okay, I will." "Okay."

"But if I can't go onstage, I'll make sure to be in your eyesight. It'll be okay." He laid his head on my shoulder and said, "I can do this."

"Yes you can. Now get dressed. I'm gonna go take a shower and get ready." He nodded and I went in the bathroom.

I took a quick shower and got out and dried off. I blow dried my hair and went back in the room. I put on a pair of dark wash jeans and a cute white tank top with a brown cardigan. I put on my jewelry and went to my vanity.

I did light makeup and curled my hair. Once I was finished, Cal came over to me and said, "You look beautiful baby girl. Very interview ready if management lets you be on there."

"I wanted to be prepared." I went in my closet and grabbed my cheetah print heels. I put those on and grabbed Cal's hand.

"Let's go check on the boys. We need to leave soon." He nodded and we went down to the guest room.

We went in and surprisingly enough, all three boys were ready. Ash said, "Ah. Laura. Just in time. You guys ready to go?"

"Yep. We're ready." "Great. Let's go."

We got our stuff and went out to the car. We drove to the studio and went inside. Cal grabbed my hand and we went down to their dressing room.

Once we got in there, we were met with their manager, Sam. He said, "Boys. How are we feeling? Are you guys ready for this interview?"

All he got as an answer was nervous nods. "Alright. Well go get in hair and makeup. And also, you're performing after the interview, so be ready for that." Then he started to walk out of the room.

Cal said, "Sam. Wait. I have a question." Sam turned around and said, "What is it Calum?"

"Can Laura go on stage with us during the interview?" Sam shrugged and said, "Sure. Whatever will get you boys through this interview." Then he walked out.
