I'm Related To Who? {Sequel to IBABW}

Chapter 24 ~ James Corden pt 2

"It was good." I reply quickly, hearing some audience members gasp and I can feel the boys eyes burning into the sides of my face.

"So, I was looking at some videos and pap pictures, and I couldn't help but notice something on your shoulder."

"What is he talking about Love?" Louis asks me.

"Uhh.."

"I have a video here so let's take a look."

"Fuck."

Soon a video comes up on the monitor showing Kelly, Molly, Becca and I walking at Universal CityWalk Hollywood. My James, Adam and Noah are seen protecting us from all the fans and paparazzi. The girls and I have sunglasses on and a few of our bags over our faces. It didn't help much.

"Melanie, what do you think of 1D breaking up?!"

"Are you and Taylor Swift enemies now?!"

"Is it true you have a secret boyfriend that the guys don't know about?!"

"Are you bisexual?!"

"Keep your distance please." Adam stated.

"Move out of the way." Noah demanded.

"No more questions." My James said as they led us towards Hot Topic.

You can see me let out a sigh of release, push my sunglasses to the top of my head before we start to look around. Noah, my James and Adam are kind of blocking the cameras which worked but not much. You can see that about five minutes later we are walking towards them and they prepare us before they open the doors. The questions began to get yelled at us again, camera shutters being heard and fans asking for either a picture, autograph or both. I stop about four or five times for fans before walking again. There's a camera behind us trying to get a good video, and a fan managed to grab onto the right sleeve of my flannel which made me let out a loud yelp. My James pulled the fans hand off my shirt and because of that my right shoulder Lion King tattoo made its first appearance before I pulled the shirt back onto my shoulder. That's where the video ends.

"So Melanie," James says as everyone looks back at us but mostly on me. "Can we see your tattoo?"

"I, uh,"

"We are talking about this after, young lady." Harry tells me as he leans over Louis to look at me.

"You are in so much trouble."

I start retreating back into my shell, my head falling down to my lap so nobody can see that my eyes are starting to water. There are a few murmurs through the audience so when I lift my head they all start booing James for doing this. My leg has been bouncing up and down in a failed effort to calm myself. An uneven breath leaves my mouth before I'm running off the stage and a loud sob escapes me before I'm fully off the stage. All the boys and James call my name but I ignore them and dodge everyone backstage who tries to comfort me. The only thought in my head is to get anywhere but here.

Why did James do that to me? I already had a plan on how I was going to tell them. He totally humiliated me in front of everyone, no to the whole nation. I slam the backstage door that leads me to the backlot. The fans start screaming when they see me but they slowly stop, most likely seeing how frantically looking around. I see one of our SUVs so I rush to it and almost pull the door off the hinges from the force. I scramble inside, close the door and climb over the seats to get to the trunk. There's a blanket and some of the shopping bags from the girls and my trip. I carefully slide back there and put the blanket over myself in an attempt to hid myself. My body is trembling and my sobs shake my whole body.

I don't know when I fell asleep but I wake up to soft whispers. Even though I'm half asleep half awake I can tell it's Niall. I make an annoyed noise and move my body away from his touch.

"Babe, please." Niall pleads.

"Go away."

"Lovely can you look at me?" Liam asks softly.

"No."

"Can you at least listen to us?"

"Mm." Is the only noise I make.

"First I'm sorry for telling the boys about you're tat-" James starts.

"Sorry doesn't cut it. You took something away from me that I that I had planned to do the second my tattoo was done. Do you even know how humiliating that was for me? Not just for everyone in the studio but to everyone in the nation!" I scream in his face which makes him flinch back. "Noah, can I go ba-"

"Wait, wait. Before you leave can you hear H and I out?" Louis pleads.

"Go on."

"Okay, uh, um, w-we were just in shock after finding out you had a tattoo that we didn't know about." Harry stumbles over his words.

"We would've reacted to this in a completely different way then how we did. We shouldn't have said what we did on air, we realized that the second you disappeared backstage. We quickly finished that before so now we just have tattoo roulette to play. Join us?" And my eyes examine all the boys who seem to be holding their breath.

"Let's go."

They all seem to let out the breath they were holding. Liam helps me down and even though I'm 16, I still want Liam to carry me. So I just keep my arm around his shoulders which makes him laugh and shuffled me around to a better position in his arms. I'm not mad at Niall or Liam, they didn't do anything except the gasp they let out. Liam carries me towards my dressing room so Molly and Kelly can fix my makeup. Both boys stay with me while Harry, James and Louis go back to the stage. You'd react the same way probably if you were in my spot so. When M and Ke have made me presentable again, Niall and Liam hold their hands out for me to take before we head back to the stage. When the studio audience sees me, they start clapping for me and I wedge my face into Niall's shoulder.

"Aww love." Niall coos.

"Is Melanie embarrassed?" Liam jokes, poking my side.

"Shut up," I tell them as we walk up the stairs.

"No can do love, it's our job."

"I hate you both."

"Nah you don't."

"Boo." And we get to the couch so before they can sit, I place myself between them.

"Ready?" James asks.

"Okay,"

I guess there's a little bit of the interview portion that still needs to be done, so I just tune out leaning back. They both subconsciously begin drawing different shapes or drumming on my legs. My eyes slowly start to feel heavy and my head slightly falls towards the side before I sit up again to act as if I wasn't sleeping. This happens maybe two more times, the audience laughing softly.

"Am I really that boring?" James asks.

"Nooo," I reply which sends everyone into hysterics.

"Alright, alright. With that we are going to head to commercial before we play Tattoo Roulette."

The cameras "turn off" and everyone starts talking to one another or going to the bathroom as some crew members set up the game. I stand to move around so I'm not tired and move to get my phone from backstage. While I'm walking back towards the stage, looking through Instagram, when suddenly someone roughly yanks my arm and the other comes up to cover my mouth. I twist, struggle, and try to pull away from whoever this is. The only thing that I'm thinking about is the lads.

"If you scream, I'll kill you. If you try to run, I'll kill you and everyone you love. Understand?" They growl into my ear.

"Yes," I reply but their hand is still over my mouth so it's muffled.

"Good girl, have you missed me?"

{A/N: hellooooo heres the next chapter!! I hope you enjoyed it.

But here's a question before you go.

Do you think Melanie's reaction was over the top or normal?

Alright, lovelies, I love you}
