Niall POV

After I dropped Torre off, I headed to back to the house. I had Ricky pick me up from the University though, to avoid chaos as the streets were becoming more crowded now than they were when Torre and I first started making our way there.

When I got back, I found Lou in the kitchen, already working on Zayn's hair. We have an interview today and I'm debating whether or not I want to tell the world about Torre and I. We talked about it a little while ago and Torre told me that she was fine with it, whenever I wanted to do it. I just feel like the time hasn't been right yet, although I don't know when the right time will be. I guess it will just feel right.

 Harry walked into the room, his hair a complete mess and I laughed at how ridiculous he looked. If only people saw the less glamorous side of him like we do.

"You've got your work cut out for him today, Lou." I said, still laughing at him.

"Shut up, Niall. The curls take work."

"Whatever you say, Harry."

Liam walked through the hallway and into the room with a scowl on his face when he saw me.

"Niall?! Where have you been?" He asked.

"I walked Torre to class, Liam. Calm down, mate."

"Niall we have an interview in like an hour."

"Yeah and I'm here aren't I. It's not like she has to do much to my hair. And look at Harry, he just got out of bed. At least I'm dressed."

"He has a point. Look at Harry." Zayn chuckled. Everyone knew Liam was always worried we would be late and stuff like that. Now a days we just let him freak out because it's easier than fighting with him. He'll realize we'll be on time sooner or later.

"Oh fine. Just be ready when it's time to go!" he huffed and walked out of the room.

"All done." Lou said as Zayn got up and out of the chair and went to get dressed. "You're up, curly boy."

"So how is Torre, then?" Harry asked, as Lou started to sort through his hair.

"She's good. Great, actually. She looked wonderful this morning. She's always so happy and positive. She makes me want to be happy all the time too."

"That's great Niall."

"Yeah, yeah it is." I said. Torre is unbelievable. She's so much more than she lets on to be. She's so shy, but once you get to know her, she just transforms into this amazing woman, with hopes and dreams, and the best personality. I would've never guessed she was this wonderful without actually knowing her.

Harry awakened me from my thoughts. "So are you going to go completely public then soon? They have pictures of you together like management wanted, so are you going to tell everyone you're actually dating?"

"I talked to her about that actually. She says she's fine with it, whenever I feel like it's right to tell everybody. I'm just concerned about what is going to happen. The pictures of us together and rumors of us being together were never really bad, but if we actually say we're dating, things are going to blow up."

"Yeah, it's going to be rough."

"I think we can handle it though. I kind of told Torre what to expect while we walked to her class today."

"So you're doing it soon?"

"Whenever I feel the moment is right. It could be today, it could be next week, or next month. I'm just not sure."

"Fair enough." Harry said.

"Okay, Niall. Your turn. I just need to touch up a few things." Lou said as Harry got up and I sat down. Liam and Louis were already ready to go and I was the last one to have my hair "fixed up."

"She was a lovely girl, Niall." Lou said, when it was only me and her in the kitchen.

"She is, she really is."

"Don't let her get away."

"I don't plan on it."

***********

An hour later, we were all seated on a small couch in the back room of studio. Our interview was supposed to start in a couple minutes. Mr. McClain was supposed to come in and give us the usual rundown of what we were supposed to talk about and what we weren't allowed to and we were just waiting for him to show up.

"He's late. Really? We always have to be on time, but Mr. Manager can be late, really?" Louis complained about Mr. McClain not being here yet.

"I've never liked that bloke, myself." Liam added.

"Yeah, not really a big fan ever since he forced me into that publicity stunt." I added.

"Yeah but it did lead you to Torre." Harry said.

"That's true." I laughed a little. Even just bringing up her name made me smile. All of our heads turned when the door opened and Mr. McClain stepped into the room.

"Hello boys." he said.

"Hi." We all replied in unison.

"So, the team and I have talked about this interview. You need to play up the new album, so talk mainly about that. Just don't answer anything you wouldn't think we would want you answering. Just be cautious. Remember: you can't take back your words once you've said them, so don't say anything stupid."

"Okay, I think we've got it. Is that all then." Liam said, getting up and the rest of us following suit.

"Yeah." We were headed out the door to go to the studio room, when he spoke again. "Niall...wait."

I stopped and turned around to face him. Great. What did he want now? "Yes?" I questioned. The rest of the boys had already left the room. What could he possible want.

"I've seen you've gotten a little toy like I asked." I stiffened at his words, and anger started to pulse through me. Victoria was not a toy.

"She's not a toy." I said angrily.

"Relax." Mr. McClain scolded. "Just don't say anything in the interview or in public about the two of you?"

"And why is that your decision?" I scoffed. I was getting angrier and angrier now. Did he really have the balls to first tell me to have a relationship and then control it too?

"It's my decision because I'm your manager. And this is what managers do. Now you won't say anything about her in this interview or any interview until we tell you to?"

"And why can't I?" I asked. This man was unbelievable.

He paused for a long time before speaking. "Because I'm not quite sure I like your choice yet." He said and walked out of the room before I could even say anything.

By now I was scathing mad. What did he mean "didn't like my choice?" All he said was that I had to find a girlfriend, and I did, so what does he care who it is.

An assistant walked into the room and brought me out of my thoughts.

"Niall, they need you in the studio to start the interview." Great. And now I had to go and act like everything was sunshine and rainbows and do an interview. Mr. McClain just ends up pissing me off every time I see him.

I followed her into the room with the rest of the boys, who were patiently waiting in their seats, ready to start the interview. Liam smiled at me when I walked in but I didn't smile back. Nobody can just tell me how to run my relationship and get away with it.

"Everything okay Niall?" Louis asked, sensing my anger.

"I'll tell you later." I said, shaking my head, as the interviewer walked into the room and take her place.

"Are you sure, Niall? We can wait on the interview if you need a minute." Liam said quietly as they prepared to turn the cameras on.

"I'll be fine. Let's just get it over with." I said. They got everything ready and we were set to start. The interviewer said her piece on introducing us and listing some of our accomplishments, and then turned to us.

"Hello boys, how are all of you doing?"

"Good, good." The boys said, and I nodded along.

She asked about the album, and we talked about that for awhile. I tried to act cool, but what McClain said was still weighing heavily on my mind, and honestly, it made me mad. He doesn't like my choice of Torre? What is that even supposed to mean? He can't tell me to break up with her if she's not what she wanted. He can't make me. I'm staying with her, and that's final. Nothing he can say will change that.

"So, Niall, you've been awful quiet. What's new with you?" The annoyingly happy interviewer said. Did she really need to bring the attention to me.

"Nothing new really. I'm super pumped for the album and can't wait for all the fans to hear it." I said, and then she moved on to asking the other boys about what was new with them. I can't wait for this interview to be over. It's dragging on and on.

Twenty minutes later, we were wrapping up the interview and I couldn't be happier. It was way to long for my liking and I had way to much on my mind. I just wish I could have talked to Mr. McClain for just a little while longer so I could clarify what he meant so I wouldn't have to worry so much about it.

We left the building and went out to the car. Once we were all seated and situated, Harry broke the silence.

"So what did McClain say back there? I heard that he wanted you to stay behind."

"Yeah." I huffed. Honestly I was still mad at even the fact that he thinks he can rule my relationship. "He told me not to say anything about Torre and I until he says I can. And then, he said "he doesn't like my choice? I mean, what's that supposed to mean? He doesn't like Torre?" I asked and all the boys grew silent.

"Well I wasn't expecting that." Zayn said.

"Me neither. I'm so sorry Niall. This whole situation has been really shitty for you." Liam said.

"Well, I don't care what he says. He can't make me break up with Torre."

"Yeah, he shouldn't make you. I can't believe this." Liam said. As cranky and overanxious he may get about things sometimes, he was great to have around because he was so caring for all of us.

"Well, I guess I'll just have to see what happens. He left before I could question him anymore."

"I'm sure if there's something wrong he'll let you know sooner or later." Harry said.

"Yeah I'm sure he will. He makes his opinions known." I said as we pulled up to the house. This wasn't how the day was supposed to go. Not at all. And no I have no idea what to think. But there is one thing I do know. I'm not letting Torre go. No matter what anyone thinks, I won't. And no one will change my mind.
