It's been a week since I saw Niall at the mall. He hadn't called nor texted, it's kind of frustrating and annoying at the same time. He must of just thought I was a cute girl he met at the mall and that was the end of the story.

Today I had to become Lacy again. Management sent me a text and told me that they wanted to meet with me because it was urgent. I'm a little nervous, they've never wanted to 'urgently' meet with me before. This could either be a great thing or a horrible thing, no inbetween.

I had my wig and usual makeup on, along with a nice outfit. I had no idea what to expect from this, so my heart was beating fast. I walked out to the limo and drove over to the management building, and wasn't surprised to see fans and paparazzi ready.

The limo driver stopped the car and opened the door for me. My eyes were blinded by the flashes and my ears ringing because of the screaming fans and questions from the paparazzi.

I smiled with a few fans and signed some of their posters that they were holding out. Some people were screaming things like 'WE LOVE YOU, LACY!' But others were more aggressive like 'GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF YOU SUCK!' How rude.

Once I was inside the building, I felt at ease for the moment. My agent walked up to me with a huge smile, "Hi Lacy," She greeted, "I have great news."

My heart began to beat normally, I was finally calm. "Okay great, what's up?"

"Well I think you'll get the idea in a second. Follow me." She grinned and led me into the conference room.

I was staring at the floor while I walked into the conference room, but my head soon shot up when I heard an all to familiar laugh. There in front of me was Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson. They all stopped and stared at me as soon as I walked in.

At this point I didn't know what else would be thrown at me. I don't know what's going on, but I wanted an explanation. I looked at my agent and crossed my arms.

"There's a rumor spreading around at the moment, that you and Niall are dating. Because of a conversation between you two at the award show the other night." I still didn't know where she was going with this.

"Okay? That's just a rumor." I was beyond confused.

My agent just sighed, "Lacy, the more magazines that are made with you in them, the more money you get and the more money your management gets. I had a conversation with One Direction's management and we decided that-"

"Woah, wait. Do you want me to fake date Niall or something?" I interrupted.

"No," She shook her head, "You're going to tour with One Direction for six months."

I was speechless for a few minutes. I was going to tour with them? But why? Because they wanted money, that's why.

"You're making me do this because management wants money. How great." I snapped.

"Look love, we don't wanna do this either." Harry said and leaned back in his seat.

I was fed up with him disliking me for no reason. Might as well give him a reason not to like me, "I wasn't asking you, curly."

Harry looked taken back that I responded to him. Niall and Louis both stiffled in laughter and Liam glared at me.

"Look Lacy, I'm sure you'll have a great time with the boys." She was now trying to cut the tense atmosphere.

I I just rolled my eyes, "Easy for you to say, two of them hate me. It doesn't matter, I'm not doing it."

"You don't have a choice." She fought back.

"I do, it's called freedom woman." I snapped.

"You signed a contract, unless you want to take this to court you have no choice. Now you all leave in three days, so you better get packing. And Lacy, tweet this to your fans because they already suspect something." She looked at me sternly, but I just turned around and left while slamming the door.

"Mom!" I groaned as I walked through the door.

She poked her head out of the kitchen, "Yes?"

Before I could speak, I just broke down into tears. I didn't know why I was crying, maybe it was stress but I hated crying either way.

"Aw honey." My mom walked over to be and engulfed me in her mothery hug, "What's wrong?"

"I have to tour with One Direction. I have no choice, I'm going to be gone for six months." I sobbed. Now I know why I was crying, I was going to miss her and my brother.

"Shayla this is a good thing! I know it's weird but you were going to have to tour sometime, it's a good thing." She rubbed her hand up and down my shoulder to help comfort me.

I shrugged, "Doesn't mean I wanna do it."

"I know," She sighed, "But that's just how life is. Now be the tough Lacy Shalts that the world loves and sing better then that boy band." She joked.

I managed to laugh, she always helped. "Thanks, I'm really tired I'm gonna take a nap." I told her.

"I'll wake you up in a few hours, love you." She smiled and walked back into the kitchen.

I walked into my room and took off my wig and makeup. I slipped on some comfortable clothes and threw myself onto the bed. I snuggled up under the covers and clothed my eyes.


In three days, you, will be touring with One Direction.

This will be memorable.
