Katelyn's point of view

"Merry Christmas Katey boo!" Nick yelled as he walked over to me, a pink bag in his hand. "I got you your present!"

"Did you now?" I said sarcastically as we shared a quick hug. "I have your's aswell, do you want to open it now?"

"Hell yeah." I said and nodded. We exchanged bags and I leaned against our first period's wall. I looked into the bag and gasped. "You bitch, really?" I said as I held up perfume, one of the One Direction perfume bottles.

"Hoe." He said as he held up cologne. "I guess we both stank." He said and I laughed as I put the box back in there. I saw another box and I grabbed it.

"Oh my god, you are kidding me." He said as he pulled out two shirts. "This is my baby. This is the best present ever. Oh my god, give me a hug. Come here." He said and we shared a hug.

"These are great, I broke my old ones." I said as I held up some drumsticks. I spun them around and he chuckled.

"I got you one more thing." He said and I nodded as I took the biggest box out. I opened it and then squealed. "I saw it and was like 'huh, Katey boo likes leather so why not?' It was the last one." He said and I put on the pale pink leather jacket.

"Shit Nick, I love it. Thank you." I sajd and gave him a hug. "Did you see the joggers me and Michael bought you?" I asked him and he nodded.

"They're perfect. You know I've been wanting some black ones for years." He said and kissed my cheek. "I'll try them on at lunch. Just wait outside of the bathroom." He said and I nodded.

"I'm going back to Sydney soon." I said and he looked at me. "I should be back before school starts. If not, then I'm missing the first week." I said and he nodded.

"You be safe booboo okay? Don't do drugs and don't start that smoking shit again okay? Fight a bitch who messes with you and stay on your toes around Luke, I don't trust him at all." He said and I nodded.

"I will, I promise." I said and he nodded. "I'll call you and I'll send you pictures of what I got, promise." I said and he nodded.

"You better." He said and the bell rang. "Oh, there's the bell. Let's go boo." He said and I nodded.

I grabbed the bag and walked into the room. I sat down in my seat and suddenly almost everyone was coming up to me, handing me gifts that were either for myself, or for the guys.

"Oh, okay. Nice. Just fucking crowd our desks and shove your shit in her face. If ya'll don't back the fuck up and sit the fuck down, I will pop all of you. Goodbye. Sayonara. Adiós. Au revoir. Leave." He said as he waved them all off as I scolded him for being rude.

"Help me carry all of this and put it in my locker later?" I asked him hopefully and he nodded.

"Of course." He said and I thanked him. The bell rang again and the teacher stood up, immediately putting our warm-up on the board.

"Shit." He gasped as we carried our backpacks and millions of gifts. We threw them into Michael's car and he huffed. "That's all of them."

"Thank the lord." I said and he agreed. "I'll see you tomorrow Nicky, bye boo." I said and he waved before running off to his crush.

I got in the car and then looked at Michael. "Half of those are for you and the guys." I said and he laughed.

"Gotta love our fans man." He said and I shrugged. "Where did you get that jacket? Did you steal it?"

"Nick got it for me for Christmas." I told him and smiled. "He got me this, a bottle of perfume, and a new pair of drumsticks. It was great." I said and he laughed.

"You need some. I doubt Ashton will be happy when he comes to the house and sees that all of his drumsticks are broken." He told me and I laughed.

"Yeah, you're right." I said and nodded. "Do we leave tonight?" I asked him and he nodded.

"I got us a flight and it takes off at midnight. It won't be that bad, I promise. Who knows, maybe you'll fall asleep during the ride like last time." He said and I nodded.

"If I'm tired enough, I can sleep for a whole day." I said and he nodded. "Anyways, I still have to pack."

"You don't need much, remember you still have clothes over there?" He said and I nodded. "Packing isn't really necessary. Just take the presents."

"Got it." I said and nodded. I leaned back and looked at the road as he took us back to the house. The radio played a familiar song and I turned it up.

"Oh god. No."

"Don't stop," I yelled as I turned it up. He gave me a pleading look and I just smiled innocently before staring out the window. "Everytime you walk in the room, you've got all eyes on you,"

"Please stop." He said and I laughed as he changed the radio station. I didn't try to change it back since I liked this song and then Michael's phone rang. "Answer it for me? I can't really answer it." He said as he turned the radio down.

I grabbed his phone from the cup holder and then answered his call. "Hello, Michael is busy driving but I can take a message." I said and Michael chuckled.

"Hello, who is this?"

"I'm Katelyn." I said and looked at Michael. "I'm his adopted daughter. Who is this?" I asked him and hummed along to the song playing.

"Ah, that's fine. I'm Lisa, I run a little television show. I know it's the holidays and I know it's late notice, but would it be fine with you guys to stop by at and round six for and round quick interview? Five to ten minutes tops."

"I'll ask." I said and Michael nodded. "It's a lady named Lisa, she wants us to drop by somewhere for an interview at six." I told him and he looked at me.

"Our flight is at nine so I guess that's okay. Did she talk to our manager? Where?" He asked and I voiced the questions into the phone.

She answered them and I nodded. "She asked and it's in a small studio downtown." I said and Michael nodded. "That's fine. Please, text him the adress and we'll be there at five. Have a nice day!" I said happily.

"You too. Thank you." She said and she hung up. I put the phone back and I looked at him.

"Why me?"

"Because you're very important." He said and I chuckled. "We can go home, get dressed, chill, and then leave. It's nearly three right now so we have time."

"Sounds like a plan." I said and nodded.

-

When we got to the studio, I pulled my leather jacket closer to my body. I didn't change much, I just switched my boots for converse and my white shirt for a black one. The only color other than black I had on was pink and Michael was the same.

Soon, a pretty woman with dark skin came over and smiled. "Michael, and Katelyn I presume?" She asked and I nodded. "I'm so glad you could make it on such short notice. Father daughter correct?"

"Indeed." Michael answered and she nodded. "We have a few minutes so mind laying down a few ground rules?"

"There is no profanity, so please keep your language at least PG-13." She explained and we nodded. "We ask pretty simple questions and hope to not offend you with any because they are not ours, but your fans' and my managers'. He conducts what I ask." She explained and we nodded.

"Sounds easy enough." Michael said and nodded. "I'll be in the dressing room. I feel like I'm forgetting something." He said and I nodded with Lisa.

"Can I just say, you're really pretty." I told her and she blushed. "Like, I feel so insecure standing beside you." I said and she smiled.

"Don't be, you're beautiful yourself love." She said and pulled her phone out. "Want to take a selfie for twitter?"

"Please." I said and she chuckled. We took a few pictures and then posted tgem, tagging me in it along with the band account and Michael's.

"I have to go get this set up. I'll see you out there." She said and I waved as she walked away.

Soon, Michael came running out and I looked at him. "I forgot my watch and my earrings. Damn." He said as he put his earrings in.

"I have mine on." I said and motioned to the pink watch and pink circle earrings. "We should be going out there in a few seconds." I said and there was a loud round of applause as I heard our names being yelled.

"More like now." He said and I laughed as I followed him out on stage. We took our seat on the dark brown leather couch and I smiled.

"Look at you two, all matching in your black and pink and spikes. Did you plan this or did you just walk out like, oh, okay?" She asked and chuckled.

"We planned it. It was hard getting him to wear a pink shirt but I did it and I'm proud of myself." I said and Michael rolled his eyes. "He won't admit it, but he likes it. He's that parent."

"Shh." Michael said and we laughed. "No one needs to know that." He told me admired I rolled my eyes.

"So, what's up? It's the holidays and you rwo Australians are here in America. Why?" She said and I looked at Michael.

"I moved us over here for awhile because when I was her age, I wanted to travel and I wanted to see new places. I thought it'd be a good idea. We were going to fly back tonight actually and go say hi to my family and see the guys." He said and she nodded.

"Recently, there a videos of you two up and around in this city walking around and shopping like us actual people. Do you actually do that? Don't you have people to do that for you?" She asked and she seemed slightly embarrassed to be asking that queation.

"Yes, we do those normal people things because we are normal people." Michael said and laughed. "Maybe she's not, but I am. I do go shopping for groceries and clothing and I do pay bills. She does go to the mall with her friends and she does stop by a taco truck on half days for some burritos."

"I am not normal because no one is normal." I protested and he rolled his eyes. "Normal is boring and I am not boring."

"You are." He retorted and I rolled my eyes. "I'm kidding. You live with me and your best friend is like Calum, you can't possibly be normal."

"She has a point, no one is normal." Lisa said and I nodded. "So, on to and new question while we still have time. There are a lot of videos of you guys."

"There is always a video that we have to disscuss." Michael laughed out. "Which one is it now? It's PG this time, right?"

"Yes, it is indeed." She said and showed us a screen which was split in two. "We have one with Michael." She said and there was a video of Michael dancing around in a pink dress while lip synching to Madonna.

I blushed in embarrassment since I was the one who recorded it and I looked away as I played it. "Oh god." Michael said and I laughed at him. "That's terrible. Why did you let me post that on instagram?"

"Why did you even decide to do it?" I asked as we laughed. "That was horrendous. Are you sure that was allowed to be played on television?"

"I'm not so sure anymore." She said and we laughed. "What's the reasoning behind that?"

"Madonna came up on Pandora and we were in a dress shop to buy Katelyn a new dress. Clearly it was old since I was blonde in that video, but it was... it is still as disturbing." Michael said and laughed. "I am got bored and I saw it and was just like why not, you know?"

"I don't." Lisa said and I agreed. "I will act like I do but I don't. Okay, next video, this time of Katelyn." She said and I looked away.

"This is gonna be embarrassing." I said and Michael shook his head. He 'aww'ed and
I furrowed my eyebrows together.

"You're a sweetheart." He said and I looked at th screen. I watched it it showed clips of me helping random people out; giving them money, buying them things, and stuff like that. "Also, you going after that guy in the mall for that lady's wallet was dangerous."

"Why is Michael's video embarrassing and mine not? Isn't it supposed to be equal?" I asked as I giggled a bit, a blush on my cheeks.

"Because, these are the ones that seem to be going around viral." She said and smiled. "They're trending in the top five on twitter." She said and I blushed.

"She's a good girl. She loves giving back to the community and I won't be surprised if she ends up spending all her money on buying the homeless gifts and the needy food and stuff. She's very generous and she's very sweet." He told her and smiled at me.

"Thanks." I said and laughed. "It's just, when you know someone has it hard, and you know you have it very easy, it doesn't take much to make someone's day better." I said and shrugged.

"Is that was you want to do, help people?" She asked and I shrugged.

"That's not exactly a job. I don't do it to have small moments like this. I do it because when you know what it's like to have nothing, you want to make sure no one else feels like that ever." I said and shrugged.

"That's sweet." She said and smiled. I nodded and agreed, then she went on to more questions about Michael and their new album.
