“Hello and welcome to Gossip Corner with me, Jade! Today is the Sixty Second Update, we focus on One Direction! With Zayn and Perrie happy together, they purchased a puppy! The adorable little thing is a cute addition to their beautiful relationship, but do you think that puppy is the beginning of other small feet pattering around them? One source says ‘Perrie has spoken about children, but as Zayn is barely even 20 it seems silly to burden him with a child at the moment, so the next best thing was a puppy!’. The One D boys are all loved up at the moment, Liam and Danielle still going strong despite a few down patches and break ups. Danielle revealed exclusively to us that they were planning on getting matching tattoos to prove their love to the haters who say he’s better off without her, meanwhile Louis and Eleanor and also still going strong, with rumours of an engagement flying around we’re wondering if 21 year old Louis will be the first of the boys to settle down, marrying the enviously beautiful brunette. However in sadder news, Harry has been left heartbroken with his split from Taylor. Their couple-of-month relationship had been headline worthy news throughout, and people are wondering if it was that which caused the end. A source said ‘twitter followers were sending hate to them both, Harry lost followers and Taylor couldn’t go anywhere without someone shouting abuse about her ‘track record’ with celebrities. Baring in mind the two are young, I can see how this huge media influence could cause issues; every picture of them together would be viral within seconds and nothing was kept private. Still-single Niall, though, has admitted he wouldn’t care who he dated as long as they loved him for him and not for his money and fame, even admitting he’d date a fan! So lucky girls watching this, who knows; I could be talking about you and Niall soon! That is all for now! Ciao!” I grab the remote and switch the channel over to a sport channel.

“You seriously still watching that crap?” Conor laughs as he walks into the room, a towel wrapped round his waist being the only thing covering him up.

“Conor, do you have to walk round in just a towel?” I giggle, although I couldn’t help but stare at the sight.

“After all these months, you still have to stare?” He smiles, but I blush like a child that’s been caught out.

“Well, it’s not like you walk around like that all the time!” I smile, though pulling a face that says ‘you know I’m right’

“Mmh, I guess!” Conor says, walking back out of the room. I roll my eyes. Waiting a few seconds, I grab my phone and begin to text the 1D boys when Liam’s name flashes up on my phone, calling me.

“Liam?” I answer in the most idiotic way.

“Ella?” He replies, joking,

“You alright?” I ask, concerned as to why he’d ring me.

“Yeah, just ringing up to see how you were and all!” He said, but it didn’t sound genuine.

“I’m good thanks, everything is working out well after the hoo-hah with Mike. You sure you’re alright?” There was a pause.

“Did you see that bloody woman on Gossip Corner? What the hell is she talking about?” I rolled my eyes. I knew they all hated to admit they watched it as regularly as I did, but somehow I couldn’t help it!

“Ah, I thought as much. Don’t worry, Liam, I wont tell the others! I watched it too!”

“Matching tattoos? Me and Danielle getting matching tattoos? But Zayn and the baby talk was the best! Do they not learn? You rang them up and knocked them down live on air!”

“Yeah, and that’s the reason they don’t talk about me and Conor as much! You need to knock them down too, Liam, or they’re gonna keep going until they split people up and then talk about that! You’re never gonna be left alone!” There was a silence, and a sigh echoed through my ear. “Yeah thanks!”

“Sorry! I just don’t even know what to say! I am not one for confrontation and you know that!” Liam sounded genuinely concerned.

“Liam, don’t worry about it! Talk with the other guys and sort something out, ok? You guys will be back in London in a few days and you know damn well they will be stalking your every step, noting your every word and recording your every breath.” I realise how morbid my last sentence was, so try and add a little happiness. “But on the upside, I’ll get to see you guys, right? And I can knock some paps out if I need to!” I smile to myself.

“Thanks!” Liam says over a giggle. “Yeah, the moment we land I’ll let you know so we can all plan to meet up. Is Jake gonna be free?” I smile when he says Jake. I’ve not seen him in a while, now that Penny has moved in with him. I personally think it’s all happening too quickly but who am I to say?

“Well he better be, or I’ll peel him out of her arms! She can’t own my best friend!” I say, protectively.

“Oh so he’s your best friend?” Dammit, I always fall for this with those guys.

“Well, along with you guys obviously!”

“That’s what I thought!” Liam says, proudly. “Look, between you and me, I hear our manager is thinking of having Conor on tour with us like we did with him for that secret one… It’ll mean like a month or so on the road though… But its only rumours, so don’t tell anyone!” He whispers.

“I wont!” I whisper back, mocking him. “But if it does happen, that’ll be great!” There’s a fumbling and a yelp on the other end of the phone before an out-of-breath voice speaks.

“Ella? Is that Ella?”

“Who wants to know?” I say, sarcastically.

“It’s Louis!”

“Aww, hey Louis! You alright?” I say, smiling.

“No. I’m about to be bundled. I stole Liam’s phone but now the other’s know! Oh Go-” A sudden crash and another yelp and I hear the phone drop to the floor. I stand up and pace around the room, hand on hip.

“Hello?”

“Ella!” I get deafened by a shout down the phone.

“Yeah, hi Harry!” I giggle. He’s always the one that’s over the top on the phone to me.

“God, you guys are so immature! You alright, Ella?” That was Zayn. He’d always been the most mature in the respect that he hated making a fool of himself. If we ever sat together and the guys got into a playfight, Zayn would sit rolling his eyes and tutting with his arms crossed. Liam, however, was the dad of them all, but everyone needs to be childish sometimes, right?

“Hey Zayn! Yeah I’m good thanks!  You alright?”

“Yeah! Oh, hold on a minute, I got an idea.” He hung up. I stood, shocked for a second before a different number, a landline rung me.

“Ella? We’ve got you on speakerphone like a dial in, then no-one will get hurt.” Zayn said, sounding authoritarian.

“Thank God! I was worried someone had injured themselves!” I laugh.

“I did!” A thick Irish accent comes onto the phone, sounding upset.

“Who injured Niall?” I question like a judge.

“He did it himself! He tripped over me.” Harry said, sniggering.

“It’s not funny!” Niall says, stroppily.

“Ah it was just a bit of craic!” Harry says in a thick Irish accent.

“Potato!” Someone else shouts in an Irish accent.

“Talking to the boys then?” Conor walks back into the room, fully dressed in dark blue skinny jeans, a white top and red jacket. His hair still a little wet.

“They called me!” I say innocently, holding my hands up.

“Guys, you do realise you’re coming back in like two days? You can talk to us all you want then!” He smiles at me as he speaks into my phone. I move it from my ear and put it on loudspeaker.

“Ah nice to see you too, Conor!” Louis says. “Not even a ‘hi’!” He pretends to cry.

“Don’t worry, Louis, it’s nothing to cry over!” Liam said in a caring tone.

“Yes, hi guys!” Conor says, feeling a little guilty. He sits next to me on the sofa, putting his arm round me and kissing me on the forehead.

“You’ve got a gig tomorrow, haven’t you?” Zayn said, trying to get the conversation back on track.

“Yeah, back at the old SBE. Brings back a few memories, some good and some bad.” He looks down at my stomach where a stab wound scar still remains.

“Mainly good though, it’s where I met you! And the guys!” I smile.

“Anything good happening over there?” Conor asks, intrigued.

“Conor, do you not read the news? Harry and Louis got new tattoos, Zayn now has a half sleeve. They went to a few radio stations for interviews and that was that. They’ve performed at MSG too. A highlight of their career.” I say in a posh voice.

“They’ve basically written about our whole trip?” Liam said, shocked.

“Afraid so! They’ve not stopped. Harry particularly. I’ve been about 50 pictures of you in that orange beanie!” I giggle. “But don’t worry, it’s nothing bad; they’re just trying to make stories out of pictures. A picture of you guys walking down the road needs its own story!”

“Sorry to be a buzz-kill guys, but we’re up at 4am tomorrow to set up for my gig.” Conor interrupts, suddenly making me remember the awfully long day ahead of me thanks to his new manager. Mike was an ass but at least he let things go and didn’t make us be at an arena 14 hours before the gig started!

“Yeah sorry guys, I totally forgot about that!” I said nervously. “But Liam already promised you guys will come and see us asap after you land. You better keep to it! I’ll get you myself otherwise!” I snarl jokily.

“Alright! I promise!” Liam said, emphasising the ‘I’.

“I will promise too!” Louis says chirpily.

“I promise!” Zayn says quickly after.

“I promise as long as I get food!” Niall says happily.

“I’ll cook it myself if you guys turn up!” I laugh.

“Then I also promise!” Harry says, sounding slightly less happy than everyone else.

“Alright then! We shall see you guys later!” Conor laughs. “Otherwise I’ll have a bad gig!”

“We wouldn’t do that to you! We love you guys!” The boys say simultaneously before an annoying hang up tone erupts through my phone and I jump, dropping my phone on my lap but then turn it off. Conor grabs my waist and yanks me to stand up in front of him.

“Bed time, don’t you think?” He said nudging his head in the direction of the clock on the wall that reads 9pm. Doesn’t sound late I know, but when you’re up at 4am! I smile and nod, holding his hand as we walk to our room. Well, I say our room, but this is one of Conor’s fake houses that he rents to make paps think he lives here, like normal. Really, me and him have about 20 ‘our room’s’ but each one of them is good enough for me as long as we’re both in it!
