Once Upon a Country Song (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 16

Lita's POV

I silently thanked Simon. I really hated not getting a compromise. Frankie was being an ass like always. I glanced at Zayn, he was doodling something. I had blanked out and finally checked back in.

"That's only if the girls want to." What? Wait. What the hell did I just fucking miss? I leaned over to Anna and whispered,

"What the fuck happened?"

"They asked if we were willing to do pop..."

"But..." I finally addressed the whole table, "I thought we had a choice..."

"You do, we were just wondering if you would try it out." Simon said.

"Give us a minute..." I said as I pulled Anna outside. "Anna I don't want to do pop."

"Well... Can't we just try it?" She whispered. I knew she felt bad but I didn't. This was something I didn't want to do and we had all just agreed on it.

"We have tried! I can't stand it! You know that!"

"Bu-"

"But nothing Anna. We are country singers! Not bullshit auto tune! We grew up on a farm! We live on a farm, not a 3 million dollar house, we pay for our own shit! We aren't some bullshit singers who rely on others!"

"IS ZAYN A BULLSHIT SINGER!?" That shut me up. 

"No..."

"And neither are any of the other boys," I stayed quiet. "You know that they got their shit together. Why do you think their careers went great? Because they agreed. They weren't scared to try something new. We can do this." 

"But... I'm scared Anna."

"Why?" 

"Because... Because it's something I've never done... I've done concerts, I've sang country, I grew up with one genre of music. This is something I never thought I would do... I never thought I would've ever gotten this far."

"Why? Did you not believe in yourself?"

"I just never thought anything would ever happen..." I looked down at my shoes, "This kind of stuff doesn't happen to people like me..." 

"It should." She out her hand on her hips, "you're a great person and you deserve the world." I looked up and grinned. She smiled softly and we walked back in. 

"We'll try it... If I don't- if we don't like it then we want to go back to country. No questions asked." I saw nods across the table and Zayn flashed me a thumbs up. Anna and I sat down as they discussed more business stuff.

I almost felt like I was intruding. It wasn't just Anna and I's stuff, it was also the boys'. As soon as they said how much the boys made I just looked at Anna, I knew my eyes were wide as I whispered, "Whoa..."

I heard people chuckle and I blushed, they weren't supposed to hear me. Zayn smiled and traded seats with Louis, "Hi..." 

"Hey..." I was still blushing, I felt like an idiot. 

"You're blushing." He said with a smirk. 

"I know..." I hid my face and he chuckled.

"Are you okay?" I looked up.

"Ya, I'm okay. Just... been... a stressful week."

"I know what you mean..."

"Are you okay?" He nodded and smiled at me. "You sure?" He chuckled. "Positive?" He rolled his eyes. "Are you positive? Yes or no?"
