a band of cousins
i ran right into it
We had to ride in three cars to all fit. I rode with Brady and Jake. Nana drove Ellie, Abbi, and Taylor, while Papa drove Sydney, Anna, and Mara. We can all drive and we all have our own cars but it saves gas to carpool.
We got there with plenty of time to spare. People tried to attack us with hair products and makeup. I slipped away and walked over to Jake. He was on his phone texting. Brady was talking to some cameramen and the girls were getting fixed up.
I stood next to Jake. He was leaning against a wall texting his girlfriend, Stacy. I really like her and her younger cousin, Brianna. She is my best friend, besides Isaac and my cousins.
"No makeup for you?" He asked as he looked over at me.
"I already have enough on," I said.
"Good because you look beautiful just the way you are," he said ruffling my hair. I swatted his hand away and fixed my hair while he laughed.
"Do you know how long it took to do this?"
"Forever. I was ready by seven. Guess what time you guys came down. Nine o'clock."
"Hey I had to wake up at six...and do all their hair and makeup," I said defensively.
"Why do you do it?"
I sighed and said, "They think I am the best at it."
"Well everyone looks great."
"Thanks. When does the interview start?" He looked at his phone for the time.
"About an hour."
"I'm going to go walk around," I said, starting to walk away.
"Have fun and be safe," he said turning back to his phone.
"Tell Stacy I said hi," I called over my shoulder. I walked over to Nana.
"I'm going to walk around for a while," I told her.
"Okay. I'll text you the details of the interview."
"Thanks Nana," I said as I kissed her cheek and waved to Papa.
I walked down the hallway. There were a lot of of rooms. Some were just empty dressing rooms.
I was walking by a closed door when it opened. I ran right into it and fell on my butt. My nose started hurting a lot.
"I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" The person coming out of the room asked me. I looked up and saw a familiar person. At the moment I didn't know who it was. My vision was swimming a little.
He held out a hand and helped me to my feet.
"I'm fine," I said even though I was obviously not.
"No you're not. Your nose is bleeding. Come in."
He pulled me into the room. He sat me on the couch and went to get Kleenexs. He gave them to me and I cleaned myself up. My nose had stopped bleeding so I just had to worry about cleaning myself up.
I looked at him out of the corner of my eye. He was looking at me with a worried expression. Where did I know him from? Then it hit me. He was Niall Horan from One Direction. I turned to look at him.
"You're Niall from One Direction," I said. He nodded.
"Do you have an interview today?" He looked at me a little surprised. Then he nodded. I'm guessing he was used to people freaking out about him.
"I do too."
"Are you in a band?" He asked me, very interested.
"My cousins and I are in a band. We are being interviewed by Julia Evans."
"We are too. We are going to be singing with a band at our next concert. Maybe on our tour."
"What band?" I asked excitedly. It could be us.
"PEXA9," he said.
"No way. That's us," I said excitedly.
"Are you Megan? The one from the accident?" I nodded. I knew that is what he would remember. I am almost as famous as One Direction because of my accident. The only difference is I don't want to be.
"You are my cousin's ideal. She says if you can do anything, she can too."
"I'm sure she can do anything she puts her mind to," I said, meaning it. We were silent for a minute or two. He interrupted it though.
"We're going to tell you during the interview," he said referring to the singing together thing.
"I'll act surprised," I said with a smile. He flashed me a gorgeous smile back.
"Do I look okay?" I asked as I wiped at my nose.
"Beautiful," he said.
"No blood?"
"No blood," he confirmed.
"Good. I should really be getting back. It was nice meeting you," I said getting up.
"I'll see you later," he replied. I left the room.
I took out my phone. I got a text from Nana. We would be asked our name, age, and what we do for the group. We also would each be asked a more personal question but we don't know what they are yet. We might be asked about our parents and grandparents. We also will be meeting a surprise and be offered an amazing offer. I know that it was One Direction but no one else knew that.
I walked back to the interview room. We still had ten minutes until we start.
"Where have you been? We've been talking about the interview," Sydney yelled at me.
"Calm down. I already know about it. And a little more," I said secretly, referring to One Direction. She looked at me weirdly.
"You're a weirdo," she stated.
"Thank you," I said with a bow.
"Okay let's arrange you kids on the couches," a man said. "Sorry we could only fit two."
"It's okay. We can squish."
We walked over to the couches. Sydney, Anna, and Mara sat on one couch. Ellie, Abbi, and Taylor sat on the other. Jake and Brady sat on the arms of the second couch. I sat on the arm of the first on. I straightened my dress and waited for the cameras to turn on.
Julia walked in.
"Hello kids. I'm guessing my manager prepped you on what's going to be asked during the interview." We all nodded and she shook our hands.
"Starting in 20," a cameraman said. Julia sat down and straightened her hair and dress.
She pointed to the camera we were supposed to look at in the beginning and then kind of ignore until the end.
"10," the man said.
I took a few deep breaths and put on a big smile.
"5…4…3…2…1," he counted down and then pointed at Julia. She smiled and started.
