My face dropped. "What?!" I nearly screamed. They all nodded with smiles on their faces. "Yeah. We all think it would be a great idea because you're obviously an amazing singer. You would sound perfect with us. We have a rehersal tomorrow so you're going to come with us and we can see just how perfect it sounds." Niall said. This could not be real. I went to find my phone so I could text Katie. Just then Louis walked back into the room.  Harry and Zayn got all serious obviously due to their conversation and Niall and Liam got confused. I just kept my mutal look. "Hey Lou! Guess what? Since Emily is an amazing singer, Zayn thought it would be a good idea if we had her sing with us at the next concert." Liam said breaking the silence. "Really? That's awesome!" He sounded happy but it sounded a little fake as well. "Louis come with me." I said as I walked by him grabbing his arm. We walked out into the hall and down to the next room just so they couldn't hear us in the room. I talked quietly just in case. "What's your problem? At first you seemed so happy to see me and then just hours later, you didn't even look at me." I asked as i I didn't know the answer. He just shrugged. "No. Something is wrong and I want you to tell me what it is right now. Did I like do something to piss you off or what? What did I do wrong?" I asked angrily. He didn't say anything so we just stood there in silence. He looked into my eyes and he looked kind of hurt. "I heard you talking with Harry and Zayn earlier." I said really quitely. His face softened and he looked sorry. "Em, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean for you to hear that. That shouldn't have happened. I don't want to ruin things with you and Niall because I can tell that you two make each other happy. I'm really sorry you heard that." He said it so fast I barely caught each word. I shook my head. "Don't appologize. It's not your fault. I feel horrible because I can't really do anything. I shouldn't have listened to the conversation so it's kind of my fault but oh well. I hate that you're going to be hurt everytime you see me, but can't we push this to the back and just be like best friends?" he nodded and I moved in to give him a hug. I felt bad but there was nothing I could do. We broke apart and walked back in the room. Before entering I told him to say nothing about our talk and then I put a smile on my face and opened the door. I went over and took my place on the couch next to Niall. Next to me was Harry, Zayn, Liam and then Louis who sat in the chair. We talked a little bit more about the concert and I was so excited but so nervous. There were going to be thousands of people there. It was an outdoor concert and that just meant a lot of people. I would have to go to a rehersal tomorrow and learn when I would sing in the songs. It was decided I would be singing with Harry a lot and with Niall a little too. They asked me my favorite songs, which ones I thought should be in the concert and which parts of the songs I liked singing the best. After about 2 hours of concert talk the boys told me I would need to go shopping. "I say we all go shopping right now! It's only 3 in the afternoon so we've got a lot of time to go." I said. With that, all the boys jumped off the couch. "Wait, where's Jimmy?" I asked noticing he hasn't been around all day long. "He said that he had a friend out here that he hasn't seen in forever and he wanted to stay with him. He packed his bags last night and left this morning." Zayn said. I felt horrible because I didn't even notice that he left. "Well, let's go bitchessss!!!" Louis exclaimed. I laughed because he was Louis again. We all walked out the door and to the parking lot. "Can I drive?" I asked hopefully. Harry and Liam looked at each other, then at the other boys. They all shrugged their shoulders and I squealed, getting in the driver's seat. Harry went to sit in the front but then closed the door. "You're going to be our driver for the day." he said laughing. I hit in playfully but went along with it anyway. The boys piled in the 2 rows in the back and fought for a second about who could sit where. I found my license and then put my wallet in the cup holder. I turned the car on and started to drive. Harry pulled up directions on his phone and read them to me so I could get to the mall. Once we got there, we decided to have a race to see who could get in to the mall fastest. I came in first with Zayn not too far behind me. Liam came in last because he didn't hear us and he got a false start. We all laughed and then entered the mall. I went straight to American Eagle for women because they had the cutest clothes there. When we got there, all the boys went crazy and started picking out things they thought I should get and posing with them in front of them. I took a bunch of pictures and I could not stop laughing when Harry came out wearing a pink flowered shirt and dark jeggings with a purple purse and high heels on. He looked so funny that I took a picture and posted it to facebook. I was laughing so hard. After fooling around in there for a while, I finally picked out about 5 pairs of pants and around 5 shirts. Well, I didn't pick them out, the boys did. I just approved them. I tried on all the clothes and then brought the to the checkout. "So which one of you is paying at this store?" I asked laughing. Zayn said he was going to because he liked this store. Liam said that it would only be fair if we went to 4 other stores so they all had to pay for something. I got a free shoppng spree at a florida mall. This day couldn't have been better. The store that we went to next was Delia's. Delia's was my all time favorite store ever. I walked in and the first thing that we saw was a display rack of all One Direction shirts, bags, socks and underwear. I picked out about 4 pairs on underwear, a few pairs of socks and a bag. I started laughing at the fact One Direction would be buying their own merchandise. Just as we were about to go to the check out, 2 girls came up to us and asked the boys for a picture and their autographs. They smiled and signed two shirts which they bought for them and then I took a picture of them. They looked so happy. After all that we checked out. "Who's paying here boys?" I said again still laughing. Niall stepped forward and paid. After that we went to Claire's, Aero and lastly we went to Piercing Pagoda. I got some more pants, sweatshirts, bags, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and shirts (short sleeve and long.) By the time we left the mall it was almost 6:30 and I had about 200 new pictures. It was an amazing time. "I'm starving. Who's up for some dinner?" Louis asked. We all said "me" almost at the same time. When we all decided on a place to eat I drove the boys in the directions they gave me. When we got to the resturaunt, it was semi fancy. We were all a little underdressed but it's okay for them because they are a famous band and it was okay for me because I was with them. After a while, we ordered our food and ate it. Just as we were about to leave some girl came over to us. I thought she was going to ask for a picture or something. She came over to me and I started to reach out so I could take a picture. I was wrong. That's not what she wanted. The girl reached her arm out and punched me right in the face.
