She's Not Afraid

Harry's Interview With Death

We walked over to the backstage area and watched the interview on the telly they had for us. It was definitely a sight to see.

One Direction doing an interview with muddy clothes that hung loosely on their bodies because they were all waterlogged. I laughed at what management might think of this little appearance.

The interviewers looked shocked when they first came on stage. The boys just smiled and waved to the live audience who were hooting and hollering all sorts of stuff.

“Hello boys,” the female interviewer started. “I must say, I expected you to be a little better dressed.” She said with a laugh.

“Well, it’s raining outside and we have proof.” Louis said and all the boys laughed.

“So, lets get right into it.” The male interviewer said. That’s pretty much when I zoned out.

Have I mentioned I have a great nose? Well, I do. I smelt the freshly cut aroma of fruit, and followed it to heaven. Nearby, I found a buffet table with all sorts of breakfast foods on it. If I have one friend that will never leave me, it's food.

“Follow your nose, for the fruity taste that shows,” I whispered to myself as I grabbed a plate full or watermelon, strawberries, blueberries and grapes. I’m such a dork.

I went back over to my uncle and Lou. They were still standing there watching the interview on the telly. I stood behind them, trying to be interested in what the lady was saying.

“How was your music video shoot?” she asked the boys.

“It was great.” Niall responded. “We all just kind of messed around and did what we would’ve done if the camera wasn’t even there.”

“Yeah, it was lots of fun. Drew did really great, too.” Zayn said. I rolled my eyes at him as I took another bite of my fruit salad.

“Ok, I know you get this question a lot, but, for the ladies out there, what are your current relationship statuses?” The guy interviewer asked.

“I’m currently taken by a wonderful girl named Eleanor.” Louis said with a smile.

“I’m also taken.” Zayn said, not giving away Perrie’s name for some reason.

“Niall and I are single as Pringles.” Liam said while Niall fist pumped the air.

“Harry?” The lady asked.

“I’m also taken.” He said, looking straight into the camera. I couldn’t help but feel like he was looking at me.

“Who’s the new special lady?” The guy asked.

“Her name’s Drew.” Hary said. I spit out my melon. WHAT?!

“That same charming Drew that was the lead girl in your new music video?” Lady asked.

“Yep.” All the boys answered. Fuck them. Fuck this. Fuck everything. How many times have I told him I’m not his girlfriend?!

“I’ve also heard she is the niece of your bodyguard, right Gale?”

“She might even be here right now watching from backstage, John.”

“Tell us, boys. Is she here right now?” John asked.

“Yep.” They all said again. NO.

“I say she comes out on stage to join the interview!” Gale said excitedly as the crowd cheered. NO.

My uncle and Lou looked at me, gaping. I shrugged with a confused look on my face. I was just as confused as they are.

Suddenly someone from backstage was pushing me towards were the interview was being filmed live. I started shaking and digging my heels into the ground. I did not want to go there.

The man pushed me on stage, giving me a sympathetic look as I faced forward to glance at the live audience. No turning back now. I smiled shyly and walked over to where the boys were sitting, watching me. I realized I still had the plate of fruit in my hand and was still drenched in mud.

I sat down on the floor my back up against the couch Liam, Zayn, and Louis were sitting on. I sat in between Niall and Harry. You don’t know how much I resisted the urge to punch Harry in the face right at that moment.

“Hello, Drew.” Gale said. “You’re even prettier in person. I’m jealous.”

I handed the plate of fruit to Niall, who devoured it almost instantly. He had been eyeing it the whole time. “Thank you,” I said quietly.

 Harry’s large hand found my small one and entwined our fingers. He started rubbing circles on the back of my hand with his thumb. I was about ready to kick him in the shins.

Watch out Harry Styles, because when this interview is done with, so are you.
