OKAY, I ... tried to break down everything into a plot. Help yourself with adding anything else to help strengthen the plot, maybe add more character/couple ideas (aka like what I did at the bottom).
I apologize if this is all over the place, I kind of got excited with how ideas started to flow.
Rumors:
1. Who is going to have the domineering rumor?
2. Who is going to have the "in it for money" rumor?
Story Plot: ---ok, this is my take on the plot---
**(ok, not gonna lie, while I was writing out the tour part, more ideas started coming, so please let me know your thoughts so we can rewrite this train-wreck of a plot I wrote down)**
Starstruck is a girl group of 5 who will be touring with One Direction, and they have yet to meet so the label wants both groups to get to know one another before tour starts so they're put into a mansion to live together for a week. A fun idea to go on a hike doesn't go as planned, it's ends up in both argument and blood. Tension arises between a couple of members of both groups. Another fight occurs to the point that management brings both groups aside to discuss the tour being cancelled if this continues to be a problem. With an agreement they put their issues behind them before tour starts.
On tour all is well, until Starstruck gets exhausted and frustrated by changing the way their music sounds due to the missing member. They eventually, accidentally, take it out on One Direction. (Maybe something can go wrong during a show, and this starts the rumors?) Louis doesn't take this lightly, and it causes more frustration and guilt. The girls start questioning about the tour, and their career and if it's a good idea: "I mean, we're not getting along with the most popular boy band in the world, what if this continues with other artists?" They start all this when celebrity news start making articles, and maybe receiving hate mail on twitter, and it'll be hard for them to handle all of that negative attention and they'll question if they're cut out for it all. Isabelle says what she's thinking that maybe they shouldn't be doing this, and just give up, others agree except for Logahn who explodes and causes even more tension within the group.
A fictional boy band (with a member who Caitlin dated before) are on the same label as both 1D and SS, and when management senses that there's tension on tour, they bring them (the new band) in as a guest for a few dates to try and help ease the pressure. But it causes more problems because Caitlin and he didn't end on entirely good terms, and maybe only one of the other girls know how messy it ended so the hostility between the two is understood by the others.
And then another band (like the Wanted) gets more attention, and is asked a question about both 1D and SS, answering with negative comments, which brings both groups together to defend. Girls take back their insecurities about being in the music industry to show everyone, the media, the rival band, and One Direction that they can be just as good as any other successful music group.

** for chapter 6 or 7 we should have a big argument happen, I'm not sure of what yet. But it has to be enough to make the groups tense, so in my next chapter the girls will come to an agreement to get along with the boys. Maybe someone from management comes by to check up on things only to notice the tension? And that's when the girls realize that they might end up either canceling the tour, or something.
Outline:
-- in the house --
Chapter 1: (Halliwell) - Caitlin arrives and meets Zayn and Louis.
Chapter 2: (Calli) - Introduce Izzy, meets Liam, Loghan calls to inform about a delay.
Chapter 3: (Ema) - Introduce Logahn who arrives two days late, everyone agrees on a hike. Cam leaves the band/tour because a family member died, and she decides to leave the band because she wants to get a degree.
Chapter 4: (Halliwell) - Hike, Izzy complaining which gets the group to argue, Loghan and Louis get in a tiff on who would be the leader, which ends up splitting the group into two.
Chapter 5: (Calli) – Logahn gets hurt on the hike, which starts to make the groups tense between each other with a few friendly moments here and there.
Chapter 6: (Ema) -
Chapter 7: (Halliwell) - another fight/argument/disagreements
Chapter 8: (Calli)- the girls come to an agreement to get along with the boys so they won't get 'kicked off the tour.
Chapter 9: (Ema) - Tour starts
-- on tour with 1D! --
Chapter 10: (Halliwell)-
Character/Counterpart Ideas:
Isabelle
-- Izzy is jealous of Zayn's vocal range, and she silently starts to hate him. She practices, and ends up straining her voice and causes more frustration within the group, and Niall offers to help bringing ginger lemon tea for her. This causes strengthens the bond between the couple. Eventually near the end of the story when everything calms down, Isabelle will tell Zayn the—stupid—reason why she was horrible to him.
Caitlin
-- As Caitlin's counterpart is Liam, as he always sides with the guys during arguments (even if they're blatantly in the wrong, she's going to get frustrated with him never wanting to acknowledge that his friends have been total dickheads to them at times. If you guys are okay with it, I'm going to have her purposely aggravate him (including shaving off half of his eyebrow) and have her told the girls about it and have them all adamantly deny it/not acknowledge that she did anything wrong. It gets the message across to him, in the end, when she admits why she did it.
Logahn
-- Logahn and Louis are overly passionate people who cant ever let up on any situation. Louis got them lost on the hike and Logahn probably yelled at him the entire time until they were both pissed beyond repair. Louis pushes her buttons like no one else and it sends her into rants about how she thinks he does it on purpose. They constantly bicker and start fights over little to nothing. In the end, Logahn and Louis end up being super close when they finally realize that they even have the good things in common. They're like arguing siblings.

What should the tiff be about (between the girls)? Or should we go back to that when we get closer?
- Halliwell:
- Perhaps there are rumours going around that one of the members is being a bit too domineering which is why they're a member short? And then maybe we could have a tiff between two or three of the girls near the end of the tour which the media catches wind of and the next day an article is published with the line "Has Starstruck Lost Its Flame?" and goes on to talk about the bickering, referencing back to the group being reduced down to a foursome and probing fan speculation that [member] is no longer in it for fun but rather the money.
With the rival group, were we having a "surprise guest" in the tour with them being it? I just remember a mention of an ex boyfriend which is Caitlin's, but I wasn't sure whether they'd be joining the tour for a few dates or not. It'd be interesting if they did.
Rumors:
1. Who is going to have the domineering rumor?
2. Who is going to have the "in it for money" rumor?
- Halliwell:
- I don't mind if Caitlin has the rumour that she's in it for the money. Perhaps the media got wind of her Italian side of the family having money problems (because they recently had two members of the family die and a lot of their money went into funeral costs) and kind of run with the fact that her dad came from a 'poor' area of Italy (which isn't exactly poor, but just doesn't have too much money) and married an American woman for a better life. And even though she's level headed most times, this could rile her up while they're on tour and be the fuel for a massive argument between the girls/or the guys?

--
- we need to fit the relationships somewhere in there.
- add the tiff between girls in there, maybe one could get mad at the whole group for thinking that they should just give up, and that ends up into insults?
- ALSO!! How many chapters do you reckon all this would take? about 50? lower?
