Best Friends Forever

Lucie's P.O.V.

The next two weeks flew by. School wasn't important anymore, but we tried to keep our heads with it. The week before we left we went shopping for new clothes for America. "Which bikini shall I take?", Iris asked me, "The America bikini, the blue bikini or the green one?" "I would go for America and blue, so you can alternate", I suggested. "You should buy the America bikini too!", Iris said. "That's a great idea! And I think I'll also go for the pink one", I responded. Pink looked best on me and blue was the best color for Iris. Iris has long, golden red hair, she's really tall, curvy and she isn't really bronzed. The blue bikini suit her perfectly. I have long brown hair, I'm bit smaller than Iris, skinny and my skin was more bronzed but also not too much. The America bikini suit us both great. "I love the bikinis!", I said while we were at the cash to pay. We were shopping in Paris and we went in every shop we encountered. Paris was my favorite city to shop. It had all the amazing shops!

After shopping all day we came home tired. Tired, but satisfied. We shopped bikinis, sunglasses, hats, shorts, tops, tees, bags, accessories. Everything. We were ready for America!
After Iris and I went to our own houses, I went straight to my room. I threw all my shopping bags on the floor, switched on the radio and took a shower. I was the only lucky one in this house with an own bathroom. While I was still under the shower, I heard Last First Kiss playing on the radio. Yes, my favorite song! I started dancing along with the lyrics and the music. This makes me so happy! When the song was done playing, I came out the shower, dried my body and walked with my wet hair to my guitar in my room. I grabbed my guitar and started playing Last First Kiss. I could play this song blindly. Because of Niall I started playing the guitar. I fell in love with Niall immediately as I saw him coming up on stage for his first audition on X Factor. I've always had a weakness for Irish people and every time I watched him on X Factor my heart jumped out of my chest. I had twinkles in my eyes and butterflies in my stomach. His voice touches something inside me I couldn't even describe. I caught an Irish crush since the first day.
2 Years ago Iris and I came up with the idea to form our own band at school. We used their songs and made our own lyrics. I played the guitar and sang, Iris sang and our other friends Sophie and Michelle - also Directioners - played the drums and keyboard. Our band One Way became a big success in our school and the pupils loved it. Even some people who disliked One Direction first, liked them and us now. They felt they could relate to our lyrics. It was amazing to do the thing we love to do, even though it was only for school.
I played the chords of Last First Kiss perfectly and softly sang along. When Niall's part came I started singing louder.

Baby, tell me would it change?
I'm afraid you'll run away.
If I tell you what I've wanted to tell you.
Yeah...

At that moment my sister Chloé came in. "It's beautiful", she whispered when I was done. My sister was 10 years old and I was crazy about her. But she could be really annoying too sometimes. Since I became a Directioner, she became one too. Her favorite was Harry and every night before she went to bed I had to show her a cute picture of him. Most children wanted their mom or dad to sing a song before they went to bed or they couldn't sleep. Well, showing her a Harry picture was for my sister kind of the same thing. It was actually really adorable. Sometimes when Iris came over, she started fangirling over Harry with my sister. It was really cute and funny. Iris was crazy about Chloé too. She wished she had a little sister as well. She only had an older brother, who was out house and she barely saw him anymore. Her brother was 20, studying in London and had a girlfriend. It made her sad that she couldn't visit him often.

I realized I hadn't told Chloé yet about my meet and greet and the concert. She knew I was going to the USA, and she already had been very jealous about that. "Chloé, come here", I said while stretching my arms out to her. We both sat down on my bed. "I have to tell you something", I began, "I'm going to the One Direction concert and meet and greet in America", I said slowly. I hoped she would take it easy. I saw her eyes widened and then I saw a tear rolling down her cheek. "Why are you crying?", I asked her in a kind way. "Because you get the opportunity to do great things. You're going on holiday with your best friend and you're meeting the boys...", she said sniffing. "Look, Iris and I are 17 years old and when you get older, you're allowed to do more things. We both have waited for 3 years to meet the boys, but I know for sure mom wouldn't have let me go 3 years ago. You'll get your time, I promise. I'll make sure I get a photo and autographs of the boys", I said while hugging her.
