Reckless Little Hearts all crowed into a rather large room for the meeting. The five girls whom made up the metalcore band; Spencer, Ash, Emery, Liz, and Roxie, were all a little confused as to why they were having a meeting this early in the morning. After all, it is almost summer, and they had at least another month off. The girls just finished their second studio album, and were gaining a wide audience in the US. The girls even played their first two years at Warped Tour the past two years. Needless to say, the all-girl group was a force to reckon with.
Their manager, and record label owner, Simon Cowell ordered that they all be up bright and early to meet him in the LA offices. Spencer and Roxie couldn't look deader while Emery was wide awake and talking vividly with the other two members; Ash and Liz. They all had gone out the night before and got completely smashed. Even if none of the girls were over the legal drinking age, they sure knew how to get their hands on drinks. It wasn't hard when you're in a world famous band.

Reckless Little Hearts is a unique band. All of the girls came from different places in the US, but all attended the same high school. Liz and Ash came from two different parts of Texas while Emery was from Seattle, Roxie was from Utah, and Spencer was a student in New York City. Four of the members moved to NYC, and they formed bonds instantly. The band was born. Eventually, they moved out of their parent's houses and have been playing music ever since. The three youngest were just fifteen at the time, and barely in high school. The eldest of the five, Emery, was seventeen, but somehow had been pulled into their life of music, sex, and lots of drugs. The girls are anything but innocent. Even Liz and Roxie, the only two that looks some-what un-corrupted, were usually the ones where started the parties. They've done their fair-share of illegal things.

Simon took a gamble on the girls; a HUGE gamble. He didn't know them that well when he saw their second concert ever. They weren't terrible, and the lead singer also screamed. Simon had never been a big fan of screaming. He thought it was a waste, and only screwed up one's vocal cords. It was not his favorite music, but when he saw the girls play, he had to have them on his label. With a little bit of coaching, they could tighten up their lyrics, and make the music a little more clean; put together. The way that the crowd reacted, and nearly doubled had impressed him. He even walked right up to the five after their concert and introduced himself. The following week, the girls were signed to SYCOmusic/Columbia Records. It was a shock to everyone.

They've gotten in trouble, some pointless public fights, and even caught drinking underage, but Simon still believed in them. He couldn't let go the girls. They were his most successful band to hit the US thus far. Then there was One Direction, his huge UK success. He knew that the boys would be huge, but he never expected it to get as big as they were. The boys had caused some trouble, with Harry dating a 32-year old to them running around naked; they were not match for the badass girls of RLH.

"I don't want to be here," Roxie mumbled into Spencer's shoulder.

Spencer really wanted to roll her eyes, but they were closed and laying on top of Roxie's head. The other girls only nodded in agreement with a few chorused 'yeahs'. The girls didn't feel like talking. They had major head aches, and even had planned on going to the first few Warped Tour dates in California. They wanted to have fun, see old friends, and in Roxie, Spencer, and Ash's case, see their lovely boyfriends. It's hard for them to hold down guys, seeing as the ones they choose are either always on tour or the girls couldn't really be faithful that far apart. It was hard on them.

"Neither do the rest of us," Liz mumbled, picking at her nails.

"Where in the Hell is Simon?" Ash asked, frustrated.

The guitarist was getting rather annoyed that Simon asked them there early, and he was half an hour late already. She adored their manager, but he could definitely act like a diva.

"Girls!" A British accent called. Spencer lifted her head off of Roxie's and stood up quickly. The blonde drummer fell over onto Spencer's now empty seat, and mumbled a few curse words under her breath. Emery, Ash, and Liz even stood up while Roxie was content on staying exactly where she was. "Nice to see the back of your head again, Roxie,"

The girl grumbled before she finally sat back up, and stood up beside her band mates.

"Hey Simon," Roxie muttered.

"You're here late," Ash crossed her arms. "What gives?"

"I told you lot earlier because you always seem to be late. I timed it out perfectly. You're the ones who were early."

"Leave it to Simon to make us sound like we did something wrong," Liz joked.

"I wanted to talk to you girls about a European tour," He stated, sounding cold, but that's just the way that he is. The girls looked at each other, and all were suddenly wide awake and jumping around the room like idiots. Spencer started going on and on about the amazing, edgy fashion with Ash while Emery sighed at British accents, and Liz rolled her eyes. Roxie, being the momma of the group, crossed her arms and looked at Simon.

"What's the catch?" She asked, eyeing him carefully.

Simon lightly chuckled at her.

"I'm still working out the details, love. I want you girls to look up this song, cover it, and post it to your YouTube page and official website." He stated, handing Spencer the song's lyrics first, then the rest got some music. "I don't want it to sound anything like the original. I want you to make it all your own. I want it to be different. I want to hear those screams Spencer, so work hard."

Ash wrapped her arm around her friend's shoulders. She knew that Spencer took Simon's creative criticism a little too seriously. Spencer hated disappointing people, and she definitely didn't want to let Simon down. Spencer is serious about the band. She wants them to sound as great as they can. This included smoking sometimes, drinking, and doing vocal exercises. She didn't just always have the amazingly, raspy, seductive voice that she now has with her today. It's not easy being a screamer, let alone the lead vocalist too, but it works for RLH.

"Don't worry, Simon, we've got it." Roxie smiled at him.

"Good. Get to work. You guys are going to be touring with One Direction,"

"Who?" Liz and Emery asked at the same time.

"What's that?" Ash asked, wrinkling her nose.

"I think it's a band?" Roxie questioned.

"They are," Spencer sighed. "When do you want this video up?"

"By the morning, I'm catching a flight out to the UK within the next hour. I won't be flying back, but I will send the boys. I've asked Inga to give you specific outfits to pick up the boys with. Knowing the five of you, you'll lose the sign or something like that." He kidded. "Make me proud girls," He ended before hugging them, and walking out of the room.

"Ya know; I'm getting really sick of his random, pop up visits." Emery sighed. "It's annoying."
Liz nodded in agreement.

"I just wish he could email us...or something like that."

"Liz you never check your email," Roxie scolded.

"Coffee!" Spencer yelled, completely ignoring the other four girls, and attacking Inga for the first iced beverage in the carrying tray. The other four laughed lightly at her spastic behavior before grabbing their own drinks for the stylist. She blonde just smiled at them before she threw the tray away.

"You can wear your own clothes for the video, but you guys have until tonight before we have to record. Is that okay?"

"Of course," Roxie nodded. Inga smiled and walked out of the studio. The girls started to gather, and pick out what beats, and such to use in such a different song.

"Thank God that Emery can read music." Spencer joked lightly.

"I don't think I could ever." Roxie mumbled.

"She's lucky that she can." Ash pouted. Spencer grabbed her face, and shook it a little bit.

"It's okay, baby cakes." Spencer playfully stated, with a small baby voice. "We should probably work on the song now."

"I really don't want too." Emery yawned, laying her head down on Liz's lap while Roxie cuddled on her own couch in the studio.

"Simon says that we have to." Roxie stated, being the voice of reason.
The girls all looked at Roxie and started to throw pillows at her. The blonde simply laughed, used to this kind of behavior toward her when she was right. The girls hated doing anything that involved work that 'wasn't needed' in their eyes.

"Boo, you whore!" Ash stated, but she got up and grabbed a guitar anyway. She pulled the strap over her head, and carefully tuned the instrument at a quick pace. Liz picked up Emery's head and went for her own guitar while Spencer sat still and Roxie watched them carefully. Happy with her influence, Roxie stood up and grabbed a hollow box, for beats, and a cow bell in order to cover this song that they were going to do.

"I'll sing back up," Emery smiled. The girl liked that she and Spencer could be lazy and sing while the other tried to figure out the beats.

"Awe..." Spencer cooed. "Simon marked the spots where he wants me to scream,"

"That's so....weird?" Liz nearly giggled.

The girls went right to work on the new cover that they were going to be uploading. The five of them still had no idea what the original sounded like, but they had a feeling that their fans would be a little confused as to why they were covering the UK band. They haven't even heard of the band themselves, and they just found out that they are going on tour with them. It was a little strange, but they trusted Simon. He did believe in them, after all. As soon as the song was finished being recorded, Spencer and Ash worked really hard on editing and putting the videos up. The girls had watched the video several times, deciding on what to leave in and what to take out. It took them until later that night for it to be put up.

"Search our cover's name! I want to watch," Roxie stated with a wide smile, sitting down on the couch with the others. The laptop sat down on the table, just a mere three feet away from them. Liz leaned forward to type into YouTube so that they could watch the video together as a band.

Hey! I'm Spencer.
I'm Ash,
It's Liz,
I'mmmm Emery,
and I'm Roxie. Together we make up the awesomely amazing screamo band,
Reckless Little Hearts!
Like I said, I'm Spencer. We did this song called What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction? Yeah....we know. It's weird, but we've worked hard on this song, and we really hope you guys like it. We changed it, and made it our own. It's probably better than the original....maybe...anyway! I'd like to apologize about our attire, we're sleepy as fuck. Here we go.
You're insecure
Don't know what for.
You're turning heads when you walk through the door.
*Screams* Don't need make-up,
To cover up.
Bein’' the way that you are, is enough.
Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you.
*Sings* Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me *screams* overwhelmed
*Sings* When you smile at the ground,
It aint hard to tell that you don't know,
Oh oh.
You don't know you're beautiful.
If only you saw what I could see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately.
Right now I'm looking at you cant I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you’re beautiful
*Screams* But that's what makes you beautiful.

Liz paused the video, causing the other's to give her glares.

"I want to see what this band sounds like." She stated.

"What?" The four other's asked in unison.

Liz rolled her eyes and pressed the back button. The clicked the first video that popped up, One Direction's actual video, and made it wide screen.

"I want to see what the band looks like so we'll know when we pick them up tomorrow. That and I want to hear them." She explained.

"You couldn't wait until after we were done?" Roxie asked, giggling at her friend's actions.

"Um....opps?" Liz shrugged.

"Well...I'm getting some water. Want some Spence?" Ash asked.

Spencer nodded her head. Screaming without really warming up all day and drinking the night before had its disadvantages. She wished that she could've done better but the girls assured her that she was great. It was hard to believe them though. They were a band, but Spencer was way too hard on herself. She gladly took the water when Ash returned and she started to chug it down.

"Okay, play it." Roxie giggled. She personally really wanted to see what these guys looked like. Roxie isn't what you call boy crazy...she's just crazy about British boys. Her boyfriend was even British! She adored Oliver more than anything. He was good for her, for the most part. When he has time for her. He's usually touring with Bring Me The Horizon, and the strain is hard. But she adores him, and Oli really cares about her in return.

Emery was the one to press play, and the ads played first. The girls waited, but not to patiently, for the video. Then it started. Spencer felt her heart flutter a little when the five of them were finally visible. Sure, they were a boyband but they were fucking gorgeous in her eyes. If only they had tattoos, she'd like them better. The other girls were a little interested, but confused at the same time. Simon was putting Reckless Little Hearts on tour with them? A boyband was going on tour with a metal band? It just really didn't make sense to any of them.
What in the fuck was Simon thinking?!

<3

The guys of One Direction didn't know what to think when they watched the cover of What Makes You Beautiful with Simon. It was different. These five, tattooed, girls were covering their music. A hardcore band had covered them. They thought that it was pretty odd. They didn't expect that they were going to be going on tour with the girls. The lads were slightly shocked that such a sound could come out of a girl.

Liam was a little worried. He would never admit it out loud, but he was. The girls were lounging around in their pajamas, and half of them were nearly naked. Harry liked staring at the girls, and Louis admitted that the girls were fit. Niall actually liked the different sound that they brought to the table, and Zayn just thought it sounded like noise. How were they going to tour with them?

The guys were already landing on the plane that they caught last minute. Simon didn't tell them who they were going on tour with before they left. They didn't blame him. If they would have known, Liam probably would have refused to even get on the plane. But here they were. They were getting off of a plane in sunny LA. The guys mostly forgot what the girls looked like, so finding them must be difficult. Especially when their fans were crowding the entire airport lobby. The cameras started going off, and fans swarmed.

The girls in Reckless Little Hearts watched and stared as the guys were practically mobbed. Girls were everywhere. They looked at each other with wide eyes. Inga suggested that they wore shirts with the band member’s names on them. It was hard to argue with her when they all were half asleep. So together, they got up slowly, and left their hotel. The girls were excited to meet One Direction, even if none of them would admit it out loud. Simon had kindly asked them to involve them in RLH's activities. Spencer thought it would be funny to see the guys’ reaction when they go to Warped Tour in just a few hours.

"They look so lost," Ash laughed. "Poor British boys."

Spencer rolled her eyes.

"We look like obsessed fans." She stated.

"Nah...well...okay...maybe." Liz agreed.

Roxie rolled her eyes.

"Come on...let's go get them." She instructed. The girls followed her over to the guys, who were now away from the crazy fans due to their management. With Roxie leading the pack, the five of them walked over toward the lost-looking boyband.

"Hey, would you like a picture?" A black-haired boy with weird hair asked them.

Ash laughed, and shook her head.

"I like your shirt," A brown-haired boy with colorful red jeans pointed toward Spencer. She was confused at first.

"Huh?" She furrowed her brows before looking down at the fabric. "Ohhhhh."

"Your shirt is a little rude....kinda funny though," A blonde-ish boy with curly hair stated, looking right at Roxie.

"Oh! I'm so stupid, dammit!" Liz nearly yelled. "You're One Direction...right? Cause if you're not, that would be bad."

Emery rolled her eyes.

"I'm pretty sure that's them, Liz."

"Well it could've been strangers! What if I thought that they were strangers?" Liz questioned.

"She's a little...." Ash trailed off.

"What if they aren't One Direction?!" Spencer all of the sudden shouted. "ARE YOU IMPOSTERS?!"

"What if they are One Direction and we thought that they were strangers, and I stated how horrible their music is?" Liz asked.

"Liz, shut up," Roxie hissed.

"What if-"

Emery quickly clamped her hand over Liz's mouth to keep the girl from scaring them off so quickly. The guys stood in front of the girls, confused as hell. They were used to girls acting strange around them, but this was weirder on a whole other level.

"I'm sorry...but...what is going on?" Niall asked, his Irish accent coming out.

"HOLY FUCKING BALLS! YOU'RE IRISH!" Spenser yelled, making the guys sort of wince. "Sorry...just shocked...anyway...we're Reckless Little Hearts?"

"Oh!" Liam stated, feeling a little better. "Simon said that you lot would be here to find us."
"Well here we are," Roxie smiled at all of them. "We're going to grab some fast food, and then we're heading over to a music festival. We want you guys to come."

"Alright," Louis shrugged.

"I'll follow you wherever you go," Harry wiggled his eyebrows.

"Ignore him," Liam laughed.

"We're down," Zayn nodded, looking sad.

"Yay!" Ash nearly yelled.

Emery took her hand away from Liz's mouth.

"Bitch." Liz stated, crossing her arms. "You know that I hate when people do that to me."

"All the more reason to do that, my dear." Emery winked playfully at her friend. "I'm Emery,"

"I'm Liz...ya know...if you haven't figured it out," The girl blushed.

"Ash." Ash stated, looking a little bored.

"I'm Roxie," Roxie stated, smiling still.

Spencer rolled her eyes and sighed.

"I'm Spencer. Hey guys," She smiled a little bit, but truth be told, she just wanted to get to Warped Tour to see Kellin Quinn. They were friends or lovers. Never both. Both bands knew what was going on. Hell, a lot of the guys in bands new better than to get involved with Spencer Tucker. She's faithful, but a handful. She loves to flirt, and she tends to get into trouble with anyone who stands within a five foot radius. She's had to apologize to the public and Simon more than the other members have. She's just always been that way.

The two bands walked out of the airport and got into the car that Simon had rented for all of them. Roxie got into the drivers seat with Emery in the passenger. Ash, Liz, and Spencer all climbed into the back with the rest of One Direction. They were a little quiet, while the girls were being extremely loud. Since they didn't have time to drive back home before driving toward the venue, the girls brought their clothes. Spencer unbuckled her seat belt, and started climbing over the seat.

"Sorry if I hit you," She apologized.

"Way to warn me, Spence," Ash laughed.

"Loveeee you!" She yelled back, nearly taking Liz out with her Jeffery Campbell Lita bootie.

"Oh those are so cute!" Emery stated, looking back. "I think I have a pair just like that."

"You do. These are yours," Spencer stated, finally placing herself upon Louis's lap. "I'm sorry. My bags right here,"

"You're fine, love." He smiled at her. "That is my name on your shirt."

"OH! You're Louis! Hey," Spencer smiled. She grabbed her bag, and huffed. "That's a long way to climb."

"You can do it?" A curly haired boy stated, looking slightly awkward.

"Spencer, stop scaring them!" Roxie playfully scolded.

"I would never!" She retorted. "Here, hold this!" She stated, throwing her bag up toward the other girls. She slipped off the booties, and tossed them in the very back.

"Can you get me my bag?" Emery asked, looking back at her.

"Sure." Spencer stated, grabbing the purple bag from the floor between the guys feet. "Anyone else?"

The rest of the girls nodded for their bags.

"Thank you babyyyyyy." Ash playfully stated.

"Please, you only love me for my body!" Spencer yelled back playfully.

"Kellin only likes you for your body." Liz turned around and winked at the dyed red head.

"You bitch!" She yelled back, laughing. Spencer climbed back over the seat, and dumped her shit out of her bag like Ash did. The girls started to change their shirts, not forgetting about the guys in the back.

"Oh come on guys!" Roxie complained. "If you three don't stop changing in front of strangers...."

"It's better than fucking one!" Liz chimed in.

"HA! PWNED!" Ash yelled back loudly, pulling her shirt over her head.

"I forgot my shoes," Spencer pouted.

"Just wait." Emery giggled.

It took five minutes of pointless banter before Roxie stopped at a Waffle House. The guys jumped out of the car. All of them were secretly thrilled with being with these girls, but they also were worried. They get in enough trouble as it is, the girls could definitely add to that.

"I'm a joker. I'm a smoker. I'm a mid-nightttttttttt tokerrrrrrrrrrrrr!" Liz sang really loudly while everyone else just stood there.

"No you're not." Spencer stated with a straight face, even making the guys laugh.
Roxie rolled her eyes at her friends. she turned around, and pulled her shirt off over her head, exposing herself more than she normally did in front of boys. But these boys were different, they were going on tour together. It would only be a matter of time before they saw something anyway. She pulled the tank top down, and turned back around toward them. With the tank tops on, the girl's tattoos became more visible. Spencer's right dream catcher showed. Liz's tattoo on the inside of her arm would now be seen.

"Now let's go get food. I'm fucking hungry!" Liz stated, rubbing her stomach.
"ME TOO!" A sudden burst of energy came from the blonde, Irish boy. "I'm Niall."

"Niall, we shall be best friends." Liz smiled, linking her arm with his.

And she really meant it.
