NOT EDITED

The next whole week was filled with rehearsels and training for my interviews. It was nice singing with the guys, it felt right and my voice fit in perfectly with theirs. The worst part were the fights we all got into. Mostly between Harry and I.

Every idea I came up with he disagreed and vice versa. We just couldn't seem to agree on anything. Zayn and Louis would get annoyed with us and walk out while we would still be yelling at each other. Which we wouldn't notice until we looked around.

I don't know what was up Harry's ass but I don't know how long I could take it anymore. It was extremely frustrating.

The interviewing part was the worst part. They wanted to change who I was completely. Not the boys but the label. The boys were already starting to see who I really was but the label wanted to change me completely.

Since all the boys were considered bad boys, they wanted me to be the good girl who balanced them out. But that wasn't me. I liked to have fun, drink and have sex. They wanted the kind of girl who liked to read a book a Saturday night. They wanted me to hide who I really was. I'd like to see how they were going to hide all the wild pictures I took as a model and personally. One way or another I knew they were going to get out.

When Zayn posted that picture of us both on Instagram, not his fans nor the media understood anything which was exactly what the label wanted. The media was saying that I was sleeping with both Harry and Zayn which was insane. Their fans were calling me a slut and a whore. Little did they know that I was now apart of their favorite band.

" Willow?" I called out as I walked out of my bedroom.

" hm?" she mumbled loudly. I followed her voice to the bathroom to find her brushing her teeth.

" I have a surprise for you" I smiled.

She continued brushing her teeth as a confused expression spread across her face.

" my manager said I could finally bring a friend to rehearsels today" i smiled.

Willow quickly spit out the toothpaste from her mouth and looked back at me.

" are you serious?" she asked with the widest smile.

" why would I lie to you?" I laughed.

" I'll be ready in like 5" Willow laughed as she ran to her room.

I wouldn't trade that girl for anything.

*

" this is where you guys have been rehearsing?" Willow asked as we walked towards a stage room.

The label had rented out a place that had a stage room, a recording studio and a couple of offices. We had started recording a couple of songs but none of them were nearly close to being finished.

Mostly because of the fights me and Harry got into.

" yup" I shrugged before I opened the door to the stage room.

Zayn was sitting on a chair while scrolling around on his phone. Harry and Louis were close by just goofing around. It was always like this. Harry laughed and goofed around but as soon as I would get near him, his attitude changed completely. It was clear that he hated being around me. But there was nothing I could do about it.

" hey guys" I smiled walking towards them with Willow by my side.

All of them immediately looked up. Harry rolled his eyes and picked up a guitar that was beside him.

" this is Willow, Willow these are Louis and Zayn" I said as we stood next to Louis and Zayn.

" nice to meet the people who have captured my best friend" she teased.

" and that's the douche of the band" I said looking over to Harry.

His eyes glared into mine as he looked over at us. He put down the guitar and walked over to where we were standing. He took Willow's hand and gently kissed the top of it.

" nice to see you again Willow" he smiled.

Did I really just see what happened? Harry being nice to Willow?

" you too" Willow smiled back.

" again?" Zayn asked.

As Willow was about to responded I quickly spoke before her.

" he's just messing with you guys" I rolled my eyes hoping they wouldn't ask anymore questions. Willow immediately gave me a confused expression that I guess I deserved.

" are we going to rehearse or not?" Harry groaned.

" now" I nodded walking towards one of the mic stands.

Willow made her way to the other side of the room and sat in a chair to watch us perform.

We were rehearsing our version of the song Lucky by Daft Punk. James thought it was a great idea to perform a cover since we were still working out the kinks into the new songs that I was in.

Since we were performing tomorrow morning on TV, this was a huge deal. Tomorrow was the day that they were announcing that I was the new member of 'All Oblivion'. I would have to do an interview and everything which was the most nerve wracking part of it all.

Louis picked up the guitar and started playing the strings. Harry started singing the first part like we had planned and he did it perfectly as always. It amazed at how emotionally attached he got when he was singing. As if he felt every word of a song.

As I sang out the lyrics, out of the corner of my eyes I could clearly see someone comingin through the doors. It was a girl. She took a seat next to Willow and started a conversation with her while looking over at Harry. I also looked over at him and saw him give her a wink.

That was when I realized who she was. The girl next to my best friend was Lia James. The Lia James that was dating Harry. And I'm the whore he cheated on her with and she didn't even know it. Hopefully no one did.

As soon as we finished, Lia jumped up from her seat and ran towards Harry. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss. She was all smiles while he wasn't.

She was beautiful. A lot more pretty than on TV and pictures. They didn't do her justice. Her brown hair was perfect with her big brown eyes. It felt sort of intimidating to be around her, and that wasn't something I usually felt around other girls.

" you must be Caitlin" she smiled as she looked over.

" Cailin" I corrected her.

" sorry" she apologized with her perfect smile.

" you don't have to apologize Lia" Harry rolled his eyes.

I simply scoffed at him. Was he seriously gonna be rude around me even next to his girlfriend? I was starting to get worried about what he would say to the media.

" it's nice to finally meet the girl that people think that my boyfriend cheated on me with, when the truth was that you guys had only met that night" Lia laughed.

I looked over at Harry with unbelievable expression. He had lied to her about that night. I didn't expect him to tell her the truth but just not this. He had told her I met the boys that night before the walk of shame the next morning.

" I'm glad to meet you too" I tried to make my smile as real as possible.

" I think we should get back to rehearsing, we all know Cailin sure needs it" Harry chuckled.

" you can kiss my ass" I responded to him.

" here we go again" Zayn grumbled.

" well you can-" Harry started to say but Lia quickly interupted him.

" we should all get lunch first. There's a great place around the corner" Lia nodded.

It seemed like such a bad idea to go but when I looked over at Willow, there was such a spark in her eyes that I couldn't deny. I knew that this was what she had always wanted, to be around celebrities. Having lunch with them just made it all better.

But I knew I couldn't stand to have lunch with Harry, especially with Lia being there.

" you know what, Harry's right, I have to do a lot more work on my vocal before the announcement tomorrow. But you should all go. You too Willow" I nodded.

" of course Willow can come, but are you sure Cailin?" Lia frowned.

I simply nodded.

" sounds great to me" Harry chuckled.

" stop being an ass Harry" Louis said to him.

They all started to walk towards the door but the door quickly opened before they could get there. It was James.

" where are you all going?" he asked.

" just out to lunch, I'll bring them back soon James" Lia smiled as she walked out the door.

James looked over at me and noticed I wasn't joining them all. I shook my head towards him assuring him I was fine. We had somehow developed this unspoken language where I could tell him if I was okay or not. If I was uncomfortable with something or not.

" actually could you stay back for a sec Harry?" he said.

" I'll meet up with you guys there" Harry called out as they all walked out.

James walked towards me with Harry following him. James' phone started ringing so he excused himself saying that he'd be back in a second.

" you and Lia are so different from each other" were the first words to come out of my mouth as soon as I saw that it was just Harry and I in the room.

" opposites attract" he shrugged.

" not that much opposite" I shook my head.

" can you just shut up?" he groaned.

" I just feel bad for her" I smirked.

Harry looked over at me with a look that I had grown to get used to. It was a mixture of annoyance and hatred. But it was the kind of look that I found entertaining.

Before I knew it, the thought of tomorrow crept on my mind again. Tomorrow was the announcement and I just felt like I wasn't ready. Maybe I wasn't ready for their world.

" you don't need to be nervous about tomorrow" I heard.

I looked over and saw Harry looking directly at me.

" what?" I asked.

" I can tell your nervous. I acted the same way before our first performance on TV" I nodded towards at me picking at my nails. I hadn't even noticed. I immediately stopped.

Was Harry Styles trying to comfort me? It sure seemed like but I knew it had only last a second as soon as James walked back in.

" so what did you want to talk about James?" Harry asked annoyed.

" the label wants you two to take a picture and post it online" James nodded.

" absolutely not. She already has one with Louis and Zayn. There no need for one with me" Harry complained.

" but the one with you is the one everyone is waiting for" James said as he took Harry's phone from his hands.

Harry expression looked like pure hatred as he turned over to stand next to me.

" now smile" James ordered.

I didn't know what to do. Taking a picture was Zayn and Louis was easy but with Harry it felt sort of awkward, since we hated each other.

" just think that your taking a picture with a person you actually like" James said as he held the phone up.

Usually someone would think of a family member or a best friend but the first person that came to mind was none of them. The first person that came to mind actually Harry. Not the Harry that was standing next to me but the one I had met in the club.

The car ride to the interview the next morning was quiet. I guess we were all sort of nervous. Me especially. This was the first I was going to give an interview live and perform live without anyone knowing.

I glanced over at Harry and caught him staring at my hands. I looked down at my own hands and noticed I was picking at my nails again. I quickly stopped myself.

He took a look around us and then turned back to looked at me. Harry took the ear buds out of his ear and shoved them to me.

I immediately gave him a confused look.

" just listen" he whispered.

I shrugged and took them. I slowly but the ear buds in my ear and started to listen to what Harry was listening to before. The music completely surprised me. 'Hold on we're going home' covered by James Arthur was the song that was playing. Weirdly enough that had been one of favorite songs so listen to for a while.

As it playing, the song started to calm me down. Was it weird that Harry ended up being the one who always helped me calm down? It was weird.

I glanced up at him and saw him looking out the window.

I wondered if we were going to have the hatred towards each other for the rest of our careers together. It wouldn't be good at all for the band. But it was probably all my fault. This band was something that was his and the boys', and me coming in out of nowhere must have really messed up his whole plan.

My thoughts were quickly interrupted by screaming girls. Luckily they couldn't see inside the car due to the tinted window and bu they all knew that inside this car was 'All Oblivion'. They just didn't know that I was in here also.

" so you boys are going to go through here with all the fans and Cailin is going to go through the back door so no one can see her" James said.

I was quickly put in the back of the car so no one could see me when they opened the car door. I put my sunglasses on and put up my hoodie as I tried to hide myself as James had requested.

The boys got out the car with all smiles and their fans screamed their names. You could clearly tell by their faces that they loved this part, their fans. They were the ones who had gotten the boys to where they were today without a doubt.

After the boys were inside the building, the driver drove James and I to the back of the building where there was a back door already opened for me. I took off my jacket but kept on my sunglasses and got out of the car. As James walked me inside the building I took off my sunglasses and took it all in.

We were already in the TV studio. In a couple of minutes was my life changing interview that I didn't think I was ready for.

Before I knew it, I was standing in the behind the scenes as the boy were just being introduced by the talk show host, Ellen Degeneres.

Yes Ellen Degeneres. At the very same time that I wanted to run out of the building, I was excited to actually meet her. Who doesn't want to meet her?

No one beside me seemed to notice I was even there which was the best feeling for now. I didn't need anyone asking me questions right now. I looked over and saw some girls from the audience looking at me with a weird look like they didn't know what I was doing there, and they didn't.

" please welcome to the show, the boys from All Oblivion!" Ellen introduced.

As the song Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke began playing in the background Harry, Louis and Zayn walked onto the stage and waved to their fans in the audience and to the cameras. Most of the crowd went wild. Walking towards Ellen they all did a little dance making me giggle. It was amusing seeing them dance, mostly because they couldn't.

" it's great to have you guys back on the show" Ellen smiled.

" we'll always be back" Louis smiled back.

Pictures of the boys appeared in the back ground as the questions began to roll.

" so you guys just got back from tour opening for Kodaline, how was the experience?" she asked.

" it was better than we imagined. It was our first time on a real tour so we soaked up everything thing we could" Louis nodded.

" are you guys gonna open up with another act on your next tour or are you going to open up your own tour next time?" Ellen asked looking over at their tour pictures..

The boys all smiled.

" our own tour is being worked out" Harry affirmed.

The audience all cheered.

A tour? I hadn't heard anything about that.

" what's up with that picture?" Ellen laughed.

She was clearly talking about the picture where the boys were all wearing sombrario hats and boxers. Just those two items.

" It had been a crazy night" Harry chuckled rubbing the back of his head.

" Now to the things we are all wondering about. I know Zayn and Louis are single, but Harry isn't. How's your relationship with Lia James going, Harry?" Ellen smiled.

The audience got all excited when Ellen brought up Lia into the conversation.

" we've been dating for a couple of months so it's been pretty good" Harry said with his famous smile.

" I don't want to push anything but there has been rumors flying around about a certain another girl" Ellen tilted her head.

" Cailin Reed" Harry nodded.

" so what's going on with all of that?"" she questioned.

The audience went quiet.

" I mean, all you boys have been posting pictures with this girl on Instagram so everyone's been extremely confused" Ellen chuckled as pictures that were posted of me and boys appeared in the background.

" people like to assume things" Zayn nodded his head.

" so what's the truth?" Ellen insisted.

" I didn't cheat on Lia with Cailin, nothing like that" Harry lied. The way he said seemed so believable even I would believe it if I wasn't the one who had slept with him.

" Cailin Reed is now apart of our band" Louis confirmed.

The audience were filled with gasps. Even Ellen was shocked. I think for the first time in her life she couldn't find the right words to say in the moment.

" would everyone please welcome, Cailin Reed, the new member of All Oblivion" Louis said.

I couldn't move. Not that I even tried. I was still. I think that stage fright was suddenly starting to hit me. My heart was accelerated.

I suddenly felt James pushing me towards the stage. My eyes went wide as I realized that I was about to be in front of all these people.

'Pull it together Cailin' I said to myself.

I took a deep breath and walked onto the stage. I decided to make this all like an acting job. Not that I've had much but it would be the only way I could make this through.

As I walked out waving to the audience, half of them were booing my but surprisingly the other half were smiling and cheering. Those were my future fans.

I took a seat between Harry and Louis seeing that was the spot they had told me to sit.

" Cailtin Reed?" Ellen asked.

" Cailin" I corrected her with a smile.

" seems like you've just became every teenage girl's dream" Ellen nodded.

" not as easy as it seems" I chuckled.

" how so?" she asked,

" these boys are tough to deal with" I smiled nodding towards each and everyone of the boys.

Ellen continued asking me questions about joining the band and everything included. I was told to lie and say that the label had me planned for months when the truth was that it had only been a couple of weeks.

" so I see you guys are performing a song for us today, including you, Cailin, I hope?" Ellen stated.

" of course" Zayn smiled.

" after the break, the first time performing with their new band mate Cailin Reed, All Oblivion" Ellen said cutting to the break.

The crew members immediately started setting up the stage. The boys got up from their seats and started making way towards the mics. It took me a couple of seconds to realize that I was still sitting on the chair. I quickly got up and walked quickly to where they were.

I felt like I was about to throw up.

" you okay Cailin?" I heard someone say.

I looked over and say Louis holding his guitar looking over at me.

I nodded trying to block out all the horrible ways this performance could go.

" just hold on we're going home" Harry quietly sang to himself.

I looked over to him and at the same time he took a glance at me. It was a moment where everything. My heart was beating so fast anymore. My breathing became easier. and I wasn't nervous anymore.

I was fine.

I was ready.

Next thing I know Ellen starts speaking to the cameras again.

" please welcome All Oblivion!" she said motioning towards us.

The audience cheered as the song began to play.
