Out Loud
Chapter 2
Simon's POV:
God, children are so annoying. They take so long to sit down, I wonder if I was like that when I was younger. Ofcourse I wasn't, I am Simon Cowell. Looks like everyone is settled down, sitting around the circle table.
"Now, let's get down to buisness," I say, I seriously feel like James Bond when I say that.
"You lovely ladies are probably wondering why you are here?" I say, with yes' and yeah's floating around the room from both sides of gender.
"Well, like I said, we are here to discuss your future. You might not know this, well the boys do, but we are one week away from One Direction's one week anniversary. On the 23rd of July, we are going to the States and we are going to appear in Ellen," All the boys agree while I can see the girls have a confused look.
"In about an hour, Ellen is going to air a commercial which is going to say we have a big announcement concerning the members of the band. The big news is that we are having an addition of new members. We would like you ladies to be part of the band," I say, wow, that was tough to say. The boys knew but the girls are shocked.
"So, what do you say?" I say, after about 4 minutes of silence.
Mrs.Askey was the first to speak, "Can I ask a question?" I nodd in response and she speaks again, "What will we be expected to do?"
"Everything is in these papers. Just know that we need the answer in about half an hour because as soon as you sign those papers, we will need to go to the studio to re-record songs right away." I tell her.
Alex's POV:

Well, this is my dream and the reason I came to London. To discuss my future.
Simon hands me about 5 papers, looks like I'm going to be doing some reading.
As I look through the papers, I look down to what I am expected to do.
Let's see, I will need to re-record EVERY single song by One Direction, I will be touring in one month in the US. I will probably be invited to different events which I will need to attend. I will be given a new look. I will be expected to get along with the band member, etc.
I realise that no one spoke as the girls and I were reading through the papers, they were all on their phone, as well as Simon, who was probably waiting for our response. Guess I'll be the first to speak then, "I will do it Mr.Cowell."
"Lovely, and please call me Simon," He then points out where I need to sign. I literally had my signature written in a billion different place. Then Niall comes up to me and gives me a hug.
"Welcome to the band," He tells me, giving me a smile. I thank him and all the other boys welcome me too.
"I'm also in," I turn my head and see Allison speaking.
Allison's POV:
"I'm also in," I say. It is after all my dream and what I've been working for this whole year, so why not, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity.
"Wonderful, just sign all these papers and we will work everything else out," He tells me smiling while I click the pen and begin to sign the papers.
"Simon can we go back to the hotel and get to know each other instead of starting to record today?" Liam tells us, smiling at me, and I smile back.
"I don't know... I guess that would be a good idea and that way we can get more emotion in the music. Oh, by the way, everyone will be in one grand suite and you can figure out who sleeps where. The rest of you ladies, what do you say?" Simon then looks at Jane, Katie and Lily with a questioning look on his face.
"Yes," Katie tells Simon, taking the papers and starting to sign the papers as well as I finish signing all the papers.
"Me too, can I please have a pen," Lily says, I then pass my pen to her, offering a smile.
"Jane, what about you?" Zayn asks her.
"Um, yes," Suddenly the room is filled with an array of cheers, including myself. She then takes out a pen from her bag and starts signing the papers.
"Well, I am happy for you ladies to be part of the team. I have your phone numbers and I will send you tomorrow's schedule, but you can rely on Paul, boys, show them around and tell them everything they need to know. I expect you to make them feel welcome. I must be off then. Cheerio!" Just like that Simon left.
Lily's POV:
"So, Lily, from where are you?" Liam asks me, while everyone else is making small talk with everyone else.
"I'm from New Hampshire actually but I moved here, in London, almost a month ago. What about you?" I ask him, interested.
"Well, I am from Wolverhampton," He tells me while a smile.
"How did you guys get into a band?" I ask him, since I knew little about the band.
"Someone isn't a directioner," Liam tells me laughing.
"Nope," I say, pooping out the 'p'.
"We started out almost three years ago in X-factor. We all auditioned separately and got put into a band together. Sort of like what's happening now," He tells me kindly.
"So Simon is playing match maker," I say laughing.
"Pretty much, I think we should go back to the hotel room and stay there instead," I nodd in response.
