{Katie's POV}
"Are you coming babe? We're about to start!" Harry said, poking his head through the doorway and grinning.
"Yeah, I guess..." I said, standing up from the hair&make-up chair and walking over to him.
He took hold of my hand.
"You look nervous... Hey, it's gonna be ok! It's great fun! Trust me!"
"I'm just a bad liar...ahaha..." I wasn't convinced I could do this. Didn't I need some kind of training or something?
"Yeah, so am I! But come on, we have to go now!" he said excitedly, "You look gorgeous by the way..."
Tugging me by the wrist, he pulled me around the backstage area until we reached a set of stairs where the rest of the boys were waiting. The men from 'Modest!' were also there. The short one took a step towards me and the tall one leaned over beside him. I shivered at the sound of the tall mans malevolent and loathsome tone as he spoke.
"Don't let anything distract you or put you off and remember to make a joke out of everything anyone says. If you don't, you give everything away,"
Gee... Thanks...
Before I knew it, our names were being announced and we were walking down the staircase.
"THE BOYS FROM ONE DIRECTION! HARRY, LOUIS, LIAM, NIALL AND ZAYN!"
They each walked down in order, smiling at the audience and waving before turning to Alan and greeting him.
"BUT! THAT'S NOT ALL! WITH THEM TODAY IS THE NEW "BEST FRIEND OF THE BAND"........ KATIE BELLE!"
C'mon, now would be a really good time for me to get one of those crazy confidence boosts that I always get at the wrong time...
"Fuck it, here goes nothing..." I whispered under my breath.
I walked out to a huge applause. There were so many people here that it was quite overwhelming. Alan gestured to the seats and the boys all sat down on the same couch together. Closest to the audience was Niall, then Harry, Louis, Liam and Zayn who was squashed up the back. Harry patted the couch between him and Niall and then made space for me to sit. I was almost definite that I wouldn't be able to fit but somehow I was prov-en wrong. Once we were all comfortable Alan offered all the boys a drink before turning to address me.
"This is your first interview eh? Ever?" He asked
I nodded.
"Well, what would you like to drink, I've got er..." he turned to his drink cooler and looked around.
I cut in, taking everyone - including myself - by surprise with my answer. "Something strong... Something very strong..."
He nodded in understanding and laughed before pulling out a bottle of something I didn't recognise but I assumed it was some-kind of strong British alcohol. Whatever it was - when I finally received it - it tasted amazing...
I immediately felt more comfortable but I was still glad that Alan spoke to the guys first. They talked about all sorts of things, from the idea of a new album to naughty relationship rumors. I smiled when Louis was asked about Erin and he replied with "She's my world, I couldn't live without her,". I didn't think my smile could have gotten bigger but then Harry grabbed my hand and squeezed it to show that his feelings were the same and it made my heart flutter. He had to quickly let go before it was noticed though.
Not long after that it was my turn to have the questions directed at me. I noticed the men from Modest! had moved sidestage so that they could help me through the questions.
"So, Katie," Alan said, extending the sound of the 'a', "I know, I know, it's such a tip-ic-al question and honestly just a little bit boring, but, What's it like to be One Direction's best-friend? What do you guys do?" At this point he winked which made me laugh because I knew he was already being suggestive about my pass-time habits.
"Well, I only landed here yesterday so I haven't done much in London... But! When we were back in Australia we always had coffee and went to the beach,"
"Oh really eh? They're this internationally famous boyband and all you did was go to the beach and drink coffee? Why aren't they spoiling you yet?" He turned to the boys, "Why aren't you spoiling her yet? Why? It's not everyday you get a pretty friend to spoil!" He turned back to me after just getting awkward laughs from the boys, "Ok... So then what's it like to ride in the tour bus with them?"
I froze. I'd never actually driven in the tour bus before. The Modest! Men encouraged me to continue so I took a huge unladylike swig from my drink and started to make stuff up.
It was story time bitches.
"Ah, you know... Music pumping, Obnoxious laughter, An empty fridge, A guitar or two, Zayn ALWAYS texting Perrie, Penis jokes flying everywhere..." I paused, "I mean REALLY?!? I'm sorry Louis but I don't really wanna hear the one about the horse and the elephant AGAIN,"
Catching onto my story, Lou leaned over and winked, saying "Are you sure? It's a good one!"
We waited as the audience erupted into raucous laughter.
Alan leaned over his chair to address me, "You don't wanna hear that one... It's too long..." He said with a perfectly straight face
I snorted at his dirty reference just before Louis whinged "Ohhh, you just gave away the punch line!"
How did I know this interview was going to go down a dirty track really quickly? *Sigh* Boys...
"But really... It's a lot of fun on there. The boys are great." I finalized the original question.
He asked a couple more questions that I was able to answer easily and I was starting to feel pretty safe that we weren't going to go into relationship rumors which made me feel more relaxed.
Or maybe that was the alcohol...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
More questions and an empty bottle later I felt Harry start to get a little reckless beside me. I giggled as his hand grabbed my arse. I caught the eye of the tall Modest! man and realised what that might have looked like to onlookers. Alan had been rambling a little about something or other but my giggle had brought him back to Earth.
"Ahem, sorry... Got a bit carried away there... I was wondering if you guys would be interested in answering some twitter questions before you have to go,"
"Oh yeah sure!" Zayn said as the other boys nodded
"Let's give it a shot!" I said, laughing
Little did I know...
This was the part where things were about to go...
Downhill...
