The Six Members of One Direction

Up All Night

(First day at the new house)

Smelling breakfast coming from the kitchen, I decide to make my towards the smell. Coming in the room, I'm immediately handed a plate with a stack of two pancakes overflowing with pancakes. Thanking Liam, I sit down at the table with Niall, Louis, and Harry. Shoving my face with the first bite, I ask the boys, "What's on the agenda today boys?". A slight giggle comes out of Harry's mouth, before stating that we have a free day to do what we want. But Simon encouraged us to come up with song ideas if we have any. Liam turns off the stove and joins us for breakfast. "I take it Zayn is still sleeping?", I ask taking a break from shoveling the food into my mouth. The boys nod, Louis mentions that he stayed up last night playing video games. We finish eating and begin to put the dishes into the washer. Harry and I whispering to each other about ways to wake Zayn up. "What if we sing him an annoying song?", Louis asks. Our heads turn towards him, having us both interested. He continues making up quick lyrics with our help. Niall grabs his guitar and the five of us make our way towards Zayn's room.

Quietly, we open the door and tiptoe right next to Zayn. I whisper to him before we start, "I'm so sorry Zayn.". Niall starts to strum his guitar and begins to sing. "It's time to get up in the morning", he slowly sings. Louis and Liam climb on the bed to remove Zayn's blanket from his body. He continues for a little bit, mentioning breakfast. Liam holds out his hand, offering to help me onto the bed. All of us but Niall are standing on the bed and begin jumping. Raising our voices we start to sing, "So we gotta get up! Get out of bed! It's time to wake up!", we all sing repeating ourselves while we jump around Zayn. He starts throwing playful punches at each of us. I begin to move closer to him, to potentially stop his punches. When two hands grab my leg and pull me off the bed. Screaming as they do so, I turn around to see Harry and Louis laughing. After we calm down, Zayn agrees to get up as long as we let him shower in peace.

(First Photoshoot)

Today we have two photo shoots to do. One for Syco Records and the other for Modest. We need a few photos for our new album coming out soon and some for announcing our partnership with Syco records. We arrive to the same location where we recorded our first music video. Even though half of us just did background vocals, it was still a fun song to record. The process of the music video was long, but the second Louis got pulled over by the police made it all better. The photographer begins placing us in the sand. They hand Niall a guitar and ask us to look natural, like we are trying to write a song together.

Staying in the same location, we all stand up to pose randomly. Louis mentions that due to not wearing socks he needs to empty his shoes real quick, taking off his shoe, he tips it to reveal a great amount of sand stuffed inside his shoe. The photographer continues to snap photos of us just messing around. He finally snaps the perfect photo for the front of the album.

We move to our next location for the Syco photoshoot. This photoshoot takes place in front of our house. Pulling up we notice a huge box that we apparently will be taking photos in. We are quickly changed into new clothing, this time very neutral colors and a lot of white. Wondering why the boring colors instead of flashing ones, we quickly learn that blue powder paint is involved in this shoot. How bad could this go? Paint is soon flying everywhere. I feel a small tap on my shoulder, turning around to find Harry with a handful of the blue substance. Before I can move away, he shoves it towards my face. We are told to face the camera so we can record the saying we were told earlier. Speaking in unison, staring down the camera we begin to speak, "Don't be blue, because we have a treat for you. We have joined Syco Records!". After I make sure the cameras are off I cringe at the fact I was forced to say that. Once finishing up, we are then told to hose off outside before entering the house to avoid a huge mess.

(Finishing the Album)

It's been a few weeks since the photoshoot, and I swear I'm still finding blue on my body as well as all over the house. The record company mentions that they would like to meet with us today to discus the last song on the album. We have all had a hard time coming up with a fifteenth song, so the record label is having us come in to brainstorm ideas. Sitting around in an office trying to come up with ideas, the producer starts to say that we need just one idea. "What about your song Y/N?", Niall mentions towards me. My face turns red, I forgot that I shared it with him. Trying to come up with a response while there are multiple eyes on me, I somehow shove a statement out. "I really don't know..," I start, "I don't think it's album worthy." The producer sits next to me, "Can we at least look Y/N? We just need one song.", he asks. Giving in, I flip to the page with the word 'Moments' etched on the header. Shyly sitting while he reads over it, a hand makes its way on my leg. Realizing it's Liam, I play my hand on top of his. "I think this might work. Well need to divide it up a bit, but I think this is it.", the producer takes a photo of the lyrics and hands me back my journal. Thanking me and sending us back to the house, the producer says the song should be ready in about two days.

(Album Release Party)

Fixing the strap on my heels, I take one last look into the mirror. Management picked a tight fitting black dress out for me. I decided that there was no reason to pull on the dress, because it wasn't going anywhere. I slowly make my way to the living room to hangout with the boys as we wait for our ride. The conversation between the boys stops as I make my entrance. "Love," Liam is the first one to start, "you look...". Before he gets another word out the boys interrupt him with kind words. Thanking them, I decide to compliment them back. "I could say the same to you guys, it isn't everyday that you boys dress up for me.". We sit around talking about the guests that we invited. My parents sadly couldn't come due to my grandmother being in the hospital. Her health has declined since we started the album.

We arrive to the party at Syco Records, cheers and congrats come our way. The boys go to their families to catch up, as I go to sit by Simon and the rest of the production crew. "Y/N, you look lovely tonight.", Simon states to me while pulling out my chair. Replying, I say, "Thank you Simon, I can't believe we are finally here". He nods in agreement saying that it's only going to get better for us. I am soon pulled out onto the dance floor by Liam and the rest of the boys. Dancing to a song off the album, time stops and I see the boys dancing around and laughing. I smile and continue to dance with them. Once the song stops I'm pulled to side by Liam. "I know we said that we couldn't be together for the band, but I miss you Y/N.", Liam speaks into my ear over the speakers. Look back to the rest of the boys on the dance floor, I question if this is okay. "It might not be the best time for this Liam.", I state towards him. "I know Love, but we can't keep ignoring each other romantically.", he says then leans in. Realizing I miss him as well, I also move close to him. Our lips connect for a few seconds, hearing a cough we stop. We both turn around to see four boys behind us with questioning looks. Before either of us could respond, I receive a phone call from my mother. I excuse myself out of the conversation and head outside the building.

"Y/N, you need to come home as soon as you can.", a sad voice comes over the phone. "Mom, is everything okay.", I ask. She begins to cry and my dad continues the conversation. "Hun, your grandma only has a couple days left. We need you back home.". I finish the call, saying I'll book tickets right away. Sitting on the bench outside, I try to catch my breath as tears find their way down my face. Hearing the door open, I notice five figures make their way towards me. I try to explain the situation to them before darkness takes over me. My body makes its way to the concrete sidewalk, but instead of a hard landing, five pairs of hands soften my fall.
