Healing

Chapter 12

We were flipping through channels on the telly early Saturday morning when Janie saw One Direction, her band, on a channel getting ready to start an interview.

"Ooooo let's watch this. Please?" Anna groaned but agreed. She has the day off, the first one in almost a month and a half that she had been working. She had made it clear that she didn't care too much about the boys, but she would lose any battle that involved Janie and favorite band One Direction. She leaned back on the couch and went back to her classes on her laptop while we watched the boys talk to the interviewer.

There's no turning back, no way of escape and no way that I could not sit there and be quiet today. Part of me wanted to bolt towards the door we entered and allow the fans to scream their merciless hatred words to me. Zayn saw me glance towards the door and pulled me close to him as we started walking onto the set.

"Come on mate you can do this. I know you can." He whispered to me. I nodded a little bit and sat down in the seat I was told to sit in when we had rehearsals. I had to get this over with as soon as possible.

"Welcomeee to the night news with Katie Mulleins. Now tonight we have a special treat for everyone tonight. Its the one and only One Direction." She turned to the boys. "Good evening boys. How are you?" She asked sweetly. She had already knew somewhat what I had to talk about and knew I was scared out of my mind, she allowed her smile linger at me for a little bit more than the others.

"We're absolutely amazing!" Louis said a little too enthusiastically making me chuckle. Liam nodded in agreement.

"Yeah we're all doing pretty good." Zayn said with a wide smile.

"Alright so there's a couple announcements, is that correct?" Amy the interviewer clarified.

"That is correct." Liam said with a nod and looked over at us and we gave him a small nod each. "We are going to release our CD with in the next month or so. Which means we are going on a tour as well. We'll announce on a later date when the CD will be coming out and the dates for the tour." The audience was going crazy and screaming loudly.

~Janie~

A new CD! What?! When did this slip by me? I need to pay more attention to the twitter feeds.

Anna covered her ears when we found out about the CD and squealed loudly. Something fell over her face at the sight of the boys, almost a saddened look and I made a mental note to talk to her about it. She had logged off her her laptop and was listening with us the interview.

"Alright now we have some questions from some fans and this one is from.." Katie had continued after the crowd had calmed down some and looked down at her cue card to continue, "Annndcarrie and she wants to know what is one thing that has happened in your life recently that you wished you handled better, and why?" Anna leaned forward at this question looking very curious to what the boys were going to say.

"I have something for that one. Which is also the other announcement." Niall answered after a few moments of dead silence.

Anna's face pales again. Something wasn't right.

"Alright now we have some questions from some fans and this one is from.." the interviewer looked down at her cue card and continued "Annndcarrie and she wants to know what is one thing that has happened in your life recently that you wished you handled better, and why?"

Here goes nothing. I have to do this now or I won't do it at all. Harry looked at me silently with a small smile.

"I have something to say for that." I said quietly. I bite my lip and looked down at my hands before continuing, which wasn't easy due to the boos that were vein echoed throughout the crowd. "Um..well recently I've been going through a few things and I haven't been dealing with them as well as I should have been." My mouth had gone dry and Harry handed me a bottle of water and I gulped down about half of the bottle before going on. Zayn rubbed my back a little bit as I bite my lip again. "My mum had been diagnosed with breast cancer, but, thankfully, she may go into remission from that. Just recently, she had a heart attack and.." I couldn't go on any more. I put my head into my hands and leaned on my knees. Someone rubbed my back, and I knew immediately it was Liam. A voice spoke and finished what I was going to say. All of the boys knew what was going on anyways.
