Chapter 10
“You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want
You think you got the best of me
Think you've had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby, you don't know me, 'cause you're dead wrong”
I started singing, giving it my all. This was going to be the first impression I give to One Direction fans and I wanted it to be a good one. I still had butterflies in my stomach, but as I continued singing, they started to fade.
“What doesn't kill makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn’t' kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.”
I took a deep breath as I finished my last note. I opened my eyes and there were screams everywhere.
“Wow, that was amazing Layla!” The host Jenny said to me as I made my way over the boys who were sitting on the couch while clapping.
“So, Layla, you are One Directions opening act on their upcoming tour, am I correct?”
“Yes, that is correct.” I smiled at the host, remembering all my manners.
“So, boys, what’s it like having a teenage girl living with you now?” The host now directed the question to the 5 boys sitting next to me.
“It’s a lot of fun, she’s gotten used to us and our craziness, and she’s like another one of my sisters.” Louis turned to me and smiled.
‘Well, that’s great! Alright who’s single?” The host moved off the topic of me, thankfully. Harry, Liam, and Zayn all raised their hands.
“Liam your single? What about Claire?” The host asked, looking interested.
“We, uh broke up.” Liam stated bluntly. I could see the tears welling up in his eyes, and I guess the interviewer could too because she quickly changed the subject.
“So, Layla, are you single?” The reporter turned to me.
“Yup, I’m a single pringle.” The audience laughed.
“Well, that’s all the time we have today, thank you for joining us with One Direction and their opening act Layla Montgomery.” We walked off stage and removed the microphones that were attached to our backs.
“Wow, that was fun!” I exclaimed once we were in the green room.
“You did great!” Louis said while grabbing a pack of carrots.

I was waiting for Fernanda and Sammy to come over so we could start the sleepover. Fernanda and Sammy had become my best friends, and Sammy had also become best friends with Niall, along with Olivia, who couldn't make it to the sleepover.
“Hey guys!” I opened the door for them as they entered my room. They both had their sleeping bags, and Fernanda had her rat in a cage.
“None of the boys are home, they went out for drinks, and since Fernanda and I are 16 we aren’t allowed to go, but that means we have the house to ourselves.” We put our stuff in my room and went down stairs to find some food and watch some movies. We plugged in Grave Encounters and sat on the couch.
“NO DON’T GO IN THE ROOM!” We screamed as another demon popped up on the screen. At this point Fernanda was close to tears because she was so scared. We were all curled into a ball while holding onto our pillows for dear life.
“What’s going on in here?” We let out another scream as the lights flickered on.
“I SWEAR IM NOT INSANE! DON’T TAKE ME AHHH!” I screamed and hid behind the couch with the other girls.
“Guys calm down it’s just Eleanor and I!” we peeked up from the couch to see Louis with Eleanor.
“Sorry. I thought you were an evil doctor.” I admitted sheepishly to them.
“It’s alright. Maybe try a different movie?” Louis suggested. We nodded our heads and plugged in Aquamarine. “Are the other boys with you?” Sammy asked, turning away from the TV.
“Everybody but Harry, he was talking to Taylor Swift when we left.” Louis replied. Fernanda rolled her eyes at the mention of Taylor because she had a crush on Harry, and he and Taylor had a fling going on.
“ZAYN GIVE ME MY CRISPS!” we heard Niall scream from the kitchen. We all laughed and went to my room to get some sleep. We all got under our own blanket and started talking, telling secrets.
“I hate Brittany.” Sammy stated.
“That’s no surprise.” I looked at her and started laughing. I felt like I could be myself with them.
“I have a tiny crush on Harry.” Fernanda admitted.
“Well if it helps I have a teeny tiny crush on Niall.” I said. just then Sammy threw a pillow at me and it hit me smack on the head. “PILLOW FIGHT!”
After a few minutes of hitting each other with pillows we plopped down on my bed and started giggling.
“I’m really going to miss this guys.” I said, tears waning to form in my eyes
“What do you mean?” Fernanda asked me, playing with a piece of her hair.
“I leave for tour with the boys in a week.” They were all silent.
“Fernanda, when are you going to tell Harry that rat girl is all just an act?” Sammy asked trying to change the subject.
“Never. I’m not going to see him in a while anyways.”
*BOOM*
A loud rumble of thunder echoed through the air and we screamed.
“Maybe we should just go to sleep. I don’t want to be awake if the lights go out.” Sammy suggested. Fernanda and I nodded our heads in agreement and went to the spots where we usually slept.
“Goodnight guys.” I mumbled to the girls, now realizing that I was exhausted.
“Goodnight!”
“Nighty night.”
