Goodnight Moon.
Wakey Wakey.
Eleanor's POV.
I woke up pretty early the next morning, I wanted to give Ashlynn her birthday present and we had agreed the night before to make breakfast and discuss our magazine article. I know I had 2 amazing best friends before Ashlynn but she was different..she was normal. Which was refreshing.
I went upstairs to wake her from her room to only see Harry in bed. I walked into their restroom thinking she would be there but she wasn't. I walked back downstairs and searched the house for a bit till I heard the swing on the porch creaking. I walked outside to see my best friend asleep on it.
"Ashlynn...wakey wakey. Time to make some eggs and bacey!" I sang to her hoping to wake her up. "They say it's your Birthday NA NA NA NA. That's the only words I know NA NA NA NA, so wake your ass up cause I got you a present NA NA NA NA" I continued to sing to her as she began to wake up. She sat up and stretched her arms up and yawned.
"Were you just singing to me?" she asked as she was laughing.
"Perhaps..don't judge me." I said to her causing her to laugh more. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEST FRIEND!" I said to her as I handed her the small bag with her gift in it!
"El! You didn't have to get me anything! You already planned this amazing weekend out!" she said to me. Of course I was going to get her something!
"Shut up stupid. Open the damn gift!" I demanded her causing her to laugh some more.
Ashlynn's POV.
She yelled at me demanding me to open the small bag. I opened it up to find an orange box . I took the lid off to pull out a pouch. In the pouch held a charm bracelet that I had seen before.
"Now you have one too!" El said to me.
"Is this the same one that you,Perrie, and Soph have?" I asked her.
"Yeah! And we all have the matching London charms. " I looked down at my bracelet to see the two charms that were already attached. The one London one was of the clock tower that everyone knows. The other one was a camera.."It's a camera...I love it." I told her.
"Yeah, cause you take pictures! And cause that's how we met!" she told me reminding me the real meaning of it.
"Thank you so much El, I love it. You're the best" I told her as we hugged each other.
"Yeah yeah, I know. Ready to cook and read now?" she asked me reminding me of our previous plans.
"YES MA'AM!" I agree and got up from the surprisingly comfy swing couch.
"Why did you sleep outside anyway?" she asked me.
"Uhhh. Bad dream. I got up to just go sit out there and I guess I fell asleep." I told her hoping she wouldn't ask me the next famous Eleanor question.
"What was it about?" yep that was it.
"Uh. Nothing good." I told her.
"Tell me." she demanded and I did.
I told her about the Kendall thing and how I saw pictures of them and the whole nine yards, now glad it was off my chest she then said. " I don't trust that girl one bit."
"Sophia said the same thing last night!" I told her laughing.
"Yeah cause she's a two faced bitch! She's like Regina George!" she said to me as I was drinking my chocolate milk causing me to spit it out at her word choice.
"Whatever. I don't want to worry about it right now." I told her causing her to drop the topic and to move onto something new.
As she made breakfast for the house of 10 I read her the article.

[It's no question that Eleanor Calder is already a beautiful girl in the spotlight while dating teenage heartthrob Louis Tomlinson (21) from the boy band One Direction; but when she was put in front of photographer Ashlynn Grace's(20) camera her true beauty shined through for the world to see. I was able to sit down with her to ask her questions about her experience with new and upcoming big time London photographer Grace and her everyday life.
Interviewer: What was it like working with Ashlynn?
E: Honestly I was very nervous when I woke up this morning. But when I arrived at the studio she made me feel totally comfortable from the get go. It was an absolute pleasure working with her. She is seriously talented and is a young mind that this world needs to look out for.
I: Did she say or do anything to you today that stood out to you from other photo shoots you've had in the past?
E: I asked her about my hair and make up. My hair was lightly teased and put into a messy bun and my make up was very natural with a soft pink lipstick. I asked her if it was supposed to be this calm. She basically told me "Yes, I don't want to cover up the best part of you. I want these photos to portray who you really are..Not that you are a good coloring book!"
I: Why did that stick out to you?
E: I'm used to going into photo shoots and having layers and layers of make up being caked onto my face. It was weird for one to not have that happen. It was also really nice, for once in a really long time I felt beautiful just being myself. Ashlynn has that affect on people. She makes you feel special.
I: To my understanding you are dating Louis Tomlinson from One Direction? Is it challenging being in the spotlight with him?
E: I am we have been dating for 2 years now. And not really, I mean at first it was a big adjustment. But I love him and wouldn't trade any of it for the world.
I: Are you close to any of the other boys in the band?
E: I am close with all of them, but I have an especially brotherly sisterly relationship with Harry Styles. We are very protective of each other and he is definitely one of my best friends. I know I can go to him for anything!
I: Harry's single, does it get old having him third wheel?
E: Ha ha ha, he doesn't third wheel! He's mine and Louis best friend, we love when he's around. But right now I am in the process of hoping I can hook up Ashlynn and him up. They would make a perfect match!
I: YLWM is a wedding magazine..can we expect to hear any wedding bells from you and Louis anytime soon?
E: NO WAY! We are so not ready for that! One day, someday I am sure of it. Just not anytime soon.
When she left the interview Ms. Eleanor hugged me thanking me for my time. Her true beauty showed through even when she spoke. I think it is safe to say that we can expect a lot from her in the future! ]

"Wow you're so nice!" I told her referring to her words about her experience to working with me!
"It's true. You're so talented Ash!" she told me causing me to smile! "Quick question though..Why do you go by 'Ashlynn Grace' not 'Ashlynn Martinez'?" she asked noticing that I didn't used my full name.
" I like Ashlynn Grace more. It's easier to say. And it's fun to see people's reactions when they realize I'm half Hispanic and half white. I had a majorly racist couple one time that I took pictures of and there were livid it was fantastic. " I told her thinking back to that very interesting day some odd years ago.
"Interesting..I see. OK breakfast is ready. Go wake everyone up?" she asked me hoping I'd agree as she got the plates out.
"Sure thing captain!" I told her as I got up out of my seat to head to everyone's seperate rooms.
