So sorry for updating so late! I've have been on vacation all week so I barely had any time to write!

So my kindle has decided to stop working, so I will have to get used to writing on the computer and my phone.

Do you like the new cover?! I didnt make it (obviosly :/), it was made by @JaneEffinSmith, so a shoutout to her! :)

If you do anything like commenting, voting, following me, or adding Strong to your reading list, I will give you a shoutout! Just keep that in mind;)

The song for this chapter is Anything Could Happen by Ellie Goulding.

And there is a picture of Tara on the side!

I added a cast list for Strong on chapter 1, but I will just say it again:

Tara

" Tara, Tara......."

" huh?" I say. my eyes snap open. I look over to where I hear my name being called.

" hi Liam." I say sleepily.

" good. Your awake. We're here."

I look out the window. In the distance I see a big city. I recognise it as Seattle, because of that big space needle. I was asleep that whole time?!

We start to unload. I grab my bag and head out of the plane. The rest of them travel behind me. When I look back, I see Chloe and Zayn holding hands. They make such a cute couple.

Once we got out of the tunnel, I saw a very surprising sight. There were fans EVERYWHERE. They filled up the whole floor of the airport! Then I remembered: I am with One Direction. Fans are bound to show up everywhere they go.

I saw that most of the people in the place had 1D merch hoping to be signed. Some were crying. Most were screaming. I was still in shock of how many people showed up just to get a glimpse of them getting off the plane. It was unbelievable.

Sure enough, the boys started signing all of their fans' merch rapidly. I dont think they were used to this, they all looked shocked.

the airport guards and our bodyguards were working their butts off. Some fans were so crazy that they needed their own personal bodyguards to keep them from attacking the boys. I am a directioner, but I wouldn't come to the airport just to see them. I wonder how long some of the people that have come here drove just to get here. it amazes me.

We got to the end of the hall and into the elevator.

" Well THAT was crazy." I say.

" Yeah. It was mad." Louis says. I just noticed now that there were two camera guys in the elevator with us. I wondered why they were there.

I asked Niall, but all he said was

" It's a secret."

We got into a limo, and drove off to yet another hotel that we will be staying in.

~

" So what are we doing today?" Chloe asks me.

" um.. an interview, and I think thats it for today." I answer.

Right now we are walking down the hall that will lead us to another hotel.

" 216, 217, 218."

We stop there, and unlock the door. It was dark, so we flipped the lightswitch.

The first thing I noticed was the sight. Windows surronded the whole hotel room, giving you a 360 view of the city. It was beautiful, even when it was rainy. There were two queen-sized beds facing the windows, with a TV. At the other side of the room there was a kitchen, with a fridge, a stove, and a little wooden table that could seat four people. On the other end of the room there was a door, so I was guessing that was the bathroom. It was small, but cozy. I liked it.

We set our stuff down.

" Great view, huh?" Chloe says.

" Yeah."

~

" Everyone put your hoods up!" Paul instructs. Even me and Chloe have to put our hoods up, since we are apparently " celebrities" now. It feels weird to be a celebrity.

We walked out of the hotel and onto Seattles busy streets. It was raining, too, which didnt make the situation any better. The interview was right across the street, so we just walked to it.

Harry slipped his hand in mine. There are those butterflies again. I looked over at him, and he gave me a little smile.

We entered the building. The lobby had two living room areas with red leather couches. There were TVs all around the room, advertising different things. A sparkly chandelier towered over the room.

We walked down a hallway, stopped at the door, and went in.

" This is 106.1 KISS fm! You are listening to Seattle's #1 hit music channel! Here with us is none other than.... One Direction!"

The boys are in the recording studio, and me and Chloe are sitting outside. You can still hear the whole interview loud and clear.

" how're you boys doing?"

" good, how are you?"

They asked the usual questions, like

" how do you feel about all of this success?"

" how are you guys different from the other boy bands in the past?"

" are you working on another album?"

But then it got to the one question I feared.

" who is single and who is taken?"

" taken." Louis says.

" single." Liam says.

" single." Niall says.

" taken." Harry says as the biggest smile forms on his face.

" taken." Zayn smirks.

I thought we were safe, until he said

" I heard that Harry and Zayn just recently got new girlfriends, is that true?"

I exchanged a look with chloe. I bit my lip.

" yes, its true. Theyre actually here right now."

I face palmed myself.

" well, bring them in!"

We both walked in very awkwardly. I stood by Harry, and Chloe went to stand by Zayn.

" hello, love." Harry whispers.

" hi."

" so what are your names?" The guy asked.

" i'm Chloe, and this is Tara." Chloe says. I silently thanked her. I dont like talking in front of a lot of people, even though you cant hear them.

The interview wasn't even that bad after all. It was kind of awkward, though.

The boys said their goodbyes, and we left.

We walked down that long hall again, through the lobby, and out the door.

It was still raining. It was rush hour also, so there were more cars and they were going faster.

We started walking. Me and chloe were ahead of the rest of them.

Chloe started walking very fast. I dont know what she was doing.

before I knew it, a car turned the corner. It was coming straight towards her, and it wasn't slowing down.

" Chloe!" I yelled as I pushed her out of the way.

That's the last thing I remember before I blacked out.
