Beautiful Thing

2

I have been parked outside my sister's house for about five minutes now. Our flight leaves in an hour and we were already running late. I sigh and get out of my Range Rover to be greeted by my sister carrying 2 pieces of luggage, followed behind her is Rob, her personal bodyguard, with another suitcase.

"Please tell me that that's not all your luggage?" I half question but ask sarcastically.

"Of course it is Tess! It's everything that I need for this trip. Ahh! So excited!" Sarah said as she pulled her two monsters of a suitcase towards the back of my vehicle.

I get out of the vehicle to help her out. "What could you possibly have in there that you need for three days?" I grunted as I lifted up her suitcase.

She shrugged at me, "Just the essentials for three days in Manchester."

I shake my head, "Well if this is three days, I don't want to see three weeks." Seriously, I don't know what she has packed in there.

Rob helps me lift the last suitcase into the back of the vehicle. "Thanks, Rob. I wonder what's taking mom so long? We have to hurry because our flight leaves in an hour." Rob had to go with us because Sarah cannot be out in public without some security around. It sucks but I guess I have to still get over it and deal with my sister's popular lifestyle. My thoughts were broken by my mother rushing out towards the vehicle.

"Okay, does everyone have everything? No turning back now or else you'll miss the flight," our mother said mainly aiming that question to my sister and I.

We all shook our heads, "All good mom!" Sarah piped up in the back.
"Okay good," mom said as she pulled out of the driveway.

During the drive to the airport, mom gave Sarah and I the lecture that we have to stay safe and stick with Rob. I laughed a little, I mean I am 23, I shouldn't have to be lectured about this stuff but since who, my sister is, I can be recognized for that as well.

Once we got to the airport, I gave mom a hug and promised to text her when we landed. I pulled my luggage to check into our flight.

After we were all through security, the flight attendant was making her last call for passengers for our flight. Rob, Sarah, and I ran for the gate. The flight attendant smiled at us, "Looks like you guys made it just in time. Thank you for flying with United Airlines." I gave her a friendly smile and nodded.

We made it on the plane and found our seats in first class. I look to Sarah on my left, "Okay, I know you and I know you like to run off sometimes but please, do not do that to me or Rob this trip. It's three days and I'm stressed out already knowing that I'm going to this event."

She laughed, "Don't worry Tessy, I'll behave."

I gave her a look and sighed. Part of me wants to go to this event and then another part of me doesn't. I wish I would just get over how socially awkward I am and actually have fun and talk to people. I grab my blanket from my carry on and close my eyes, waiting for sleep to take over.
A few hours later I was waking up by the flight attendant telling me that we were landing in 5 minutes. I look at Sarah and she was practically bouncing off of her seat. She's traveled the world and she still gets excited going to places she had already been to.

"Tess, I go shopping for our outfits as soon as we land." She looked at me eagerly.

Rob piped up, "No can do sweetheart, we got to check into the hotel first and drop off our luggage. Maybe get something to eat first as well. It's been a long flight."

I nod, "Good Idea." I fold up my blanket and put it away back in my carry on.

10 minutes later, we had landed and left our terminal. "I hope there aren't too many people outside. A lot of celebs are flying in today for the party." Sarah said to Rob and I. We both nodded in agreement.

Once we had gotten our luggage, we made our way outside to find our rental car. I gasped, "Oh my." Outside was filled with many fans and paparazzi. I looked at Sarah and Rob.

"Stay by me girls," Rob said as we ventured outside. I held onto Sarah's hand as we made our way through the fans.

"Sarah! Tess! Are you here for Harry Styles' pre-launch party?" one of the men said.

"Sarah you look beautiful!" one of the fans screamed out.

"Sarah! Smile for a picture!"

Sarah smiled and waved to everyone as we made our way to the rental car. Once we got there, we loaded the back of the car up and got on our way to the hotel.

One thing that I think I'll never get used to is the huge amounts of people my sister draws in. I mean it's not a bad thing for her but I'm just not one for big crowds. I know I will have to deal with it but right now after a year of being in the spotlight, I still get anxious.

My thoughts were interrupted by the car coming to a stop at the hotel. I hop out of the car to grab our luggage then made my way inside the hotel.

"Hi, I have a reservation for three nights. It should be under the name of Tess Taylor." I said to the receptionist.

He gave me a smile, "Sure, just let me check the system to find you." He went towards his computer and typed something in. He came back towards me and handed me 3 keys, "Here you are Miss Taylor, enjoy your stay with us." I smiled and gave him a nod.

I turn towards my sister and Rob and signaled them to follow me. We made our way to the elevator with our luggage. "Which floor?" Rob questioned.

"10th, the top floor," I replied. Rob nodded his head and pressed the button to take us to our floor.

During our elevator ride up, I thought about what would happen tonight. We are going to Harry Styles' pre-launch, which I am excited for because I was a small Directioner a few years ago, but what I am worried about is the fact that I will be surrounded by many celebrities. I think I will be more starstruck than excited. I just hope Sarah doesn't try to force guys to me like she does everywhere else.

Sarah means well when she does that sort of stuff. I mean, my love life is sad and barely existent. My thoughts were interrupted by the ding of the elevator, signaling that we have arrived on our floor. We exited and made our way to our room.

I flopped on the bed as soon as I got into the room. "Can we please order room service instead of going out to eat? I am so tired from traveling and I just don't want to move anymore." I pleaded to my sister.

"Of course Tess, but after we eat, we are going shopping." She reminded me. Oh, how could I forget that we were going shopping. I rolled my eyes.

Two hours later we were all fed and making our way to the mall. I've never been shopping in the UK but I am excited to do so. I have seen a lot of their fashion trends and they are absolutely gorgeous.

"What do you think of this one Tess?" Sarah asked me holding up a short and very revealing cocktail dress.

"Yeah, like mom and your PR team would like to see you in that. Try again." I scoffed at her.
She frowned, "Yeah, I guess you're right. On to the next one!" I smirk and shake my head.

As Sarah was skipping around the store looking for an outfit to wear, I managed to find this cute white peplum top with a blazer with gold buttons on it. I paired it with a black pair of jeans. I walk out of the dressing room and called out to Sarah.

"Ouu Tess! You're going to look so hot in that outfit! Oh just wait for a second!" She exclaimed and ran off somewhere in the store. I wonder what she is looking for.

A few seconds later she came back with a black pair of heeled booties in her hands. I'll admit, they were pretty cute and went with my outfit well. "Yeah, I really like these. They go well with my outfit." I smiled at her.

Once we had bought everything we needed for tonight, we headed back to the hotel to get ready. Sarah walked into the room and let out a small squeal.

"Maddy! You're here!" Sarah exclaimed to Maddy, her personal stylist. She was absolutely beautiful. She had short platinum blonde hair with piercing blue eyes and was very tall. She could be a model for sure.

Maddy smiled, "Of course I would! I need to beautify you girls for this pre-launch! Management recommended it anyway since it was a public event and lots of cameras will be around." Maddy walked over to her large suitcase and opened it to reveal a lot of makeup and hair tools. "So, who's going first!" she said as she clapped her hands together in excitement.

"Oh me, me!" Sarah exclaimed excitedly and ran over to the chair. Both Maddy and I chuckled at her excitement.

As Sarah got beautified, I got into my outfit to save some time. To accessorize with the outfit I had bought today, I wore my rose gold watch that my mother gave to me as a graduation present, with a necklace with a star charm hooked in the middle of it, something Sarah gave me for one of my birthdays.

"Your turn Tess!" Maddy called out to me. I walked out to the main room and I was greeted by a very hot Sarah.

"Wow, Sarah! You look good!" I smiled at her.

"Why thank you, Tessy! Hurry on, it's your turn!" She pushed me towards Maddy and the chair. I listened to her and made my way and sat on the chair in front of Maddy.

"So I was thinking about giving you a sexy smokey eye with a bold lip and a messy high ponytail. What do you think Tess?" Maddy said as she brushed out my hair. What Maddy had described to me was much bolder than what I usually go for.

"Umm, I was thinking something a little mor-" I was cut off by Sarah.

"Don't even think about it, Tess. That sounds wonderful Maddy. I bet you any money she was going to ask to stick for a more natural look. Tess, expand your horizons." as Sarah spoke she was skipping through the room.

I huff, I guess she is right. "Alright Maddy, work your magic," I say exasperatedly. Sarah and Maddy clapped excitedly. Oh boy, what am I in for tonight?

I think your a lovely writer, and I do hope to see more updates from you in the future!!!

Wow i love this.

Ok seriosuly love this story!!!

When I was reading them singing endless love, I kept thinking Tess was James Corden and it was the carpool karaoke all over again! It made slightly less intimate but more humorous. Also I realized Tess and I are very similar for 3 reasons.

1. We both are named Tess

2. We both love Fleetwood Mac ( for me it's more obsess over than love really. Also there should be a duet of them singing you make loving fun, I need that in my life! )

3. We both find Harry attractive (;

Great job with the writing by the way! So far it's ridiculously cute, I am in love!
