Lost In Our Imagination 2: Not As Planned

22 - You're All There For Me

July 2018

Livi's P.O.V

"Don't go to work" I smiled at James as I sat up in bed.

"I have to go, we've got to finish our album" He laughed sitting next to me.

"Can't you finish it another day?" I asked leaning on his shoulder.

"Sadly no" He laughed, "But how about you come in and see the guys a bit later, you can hear some of the stuff we've been up to"

"Has anyone else heard it?"

"Only me and the guys"

"Well, looks like I can't refuse then" I smiled before leaning over and kissing him.

"And I really have to go now, I'll see you a bit later yeah?" He said and I nodded before he quickly kissed me goodbye. James left and I got back in to bed for about an hour. At about 10 I decided I should probably get out of bed and get something to eat.

"Morning" Ben said as I walked through to the kitchen.

"Morning! What are you up to today?" I asked getting myself some ceral.

"I told Ella I would go and see her today" He said as I walked back in to the living room where Ben was sat.

"How is it going with you two then?"

"We're just hanging out"

"You know I'm just gonna ask her if you don't tell me anything" I laughed and he smiled.

"There's nothing to tell, except I need to get going" He said getting up off the sofa.

"Ok well see you later.." I said as he left. I finished up my breakfast and cleaned up the bowl before going to get in the shower. I quickly got dressed and fish tailed my hair before looking at the time. It was about 12 so I thought I would head over to the studio now. I locked the apartment before heading down to the buildings car park to get my car. I started the car and began driving through London towards the guys studio. I parked in the studio car park and went in to the reception of the building.

"Hello, how can I help?" The receptionist asked.

"I'm here to see the vamps" I said and she nodded.

"What's your name?"

"Livi Gilbert" I said and she nodded picking up the phone.

"And are you here for buissness?"

"No, I'm James Mcvey's girlfriend"

"Lucky girl" She laughed and I smiled.

"I know" I said as she picked up her phone.

"Yes Joe, there's a Livi Gilbert here to see the guys. Ok will do, thank you" She said on the phone and then placed it back down, "Follow me" She added and I followed her down a hall.

"Go up to floor 4 and Joe will meet you there to take you to their studio" She said showing me the lift.

"Thank you" I smiled before getting in to the lift. I went up to the 4th floor and the lift opened to James.

"Hey" He smiled opening his arms and I hugged him.

"Hey, how is the recording going?" I asked as James led me to the studio they're in.

"It's good, we're almost finished for the day"

"That's good, I'm excited to hear some of it!"

"I can't wait for you to hear it, we haven't chosen the songs for the album yet but you can listen to what we have here now" he smiled opening the door for the studio.

"Livi! We haven't seen you in ages" Tristan cheered as I walked in.

"I know it feels like forever since I've seen any of you" I laughed sitting down on the sofa.

"Well it has been" Connor said and James whacked his arm.

"It's not been that long" James smiled coming to sit down next to me. I smiled at him but I couldn't actually remember the last time I saw any of them, and they're my boyfriends best friends.

"So Livi, ready to hear our amazing music?" Brad smiled walking over to the sounds deck and I nodded. We spent about an hour going through all of their songs they had with them. They were asking me what I thought of all of them and which was my favourite and stuff like that.

"So Livi, how is life going now you've stolen my room mate" Tristan smiled coming over to talk to me.

"It's not to bad thanks" I laughed, "and I'm sorry I stole your room mate"

"That's alright, he's happier living with you" he smiled, "and now I can spend more time with Zoe"

"Zoe? Tristan do you have a girlfriend" I smiled and he laughed.

"Yeah, for about a month now"

"Really, I never knew" I said looking at the floor.

"Well there's no reason you would have known, I ever told you" he said placing his hand on my arm.

"Yeah but I should have been around, I'm sorry I'm just gonna get some air" I smiled and walked out the studio. I found the stairs and walked up a few floors until I reached the roof. I felt like I could breath again up here. I sat on floor with my back again the wall looking at the view across London. I was sat up there for about half an hour before someone came through the door.

"Hey" Katie's voice said sitting down beside me handing me a bottle of water.

"How come your here?" I asked opening the water and taking a sip.

"Well I came to see if Brad wanted to get something to eat and then when I walked in the boys said you'd gone missing and wanted me to find you. I think they thought you were in the toilets but I knew you wouldn't hide there" she laughed looking at our feet.

"I've been so oblivious to everything and anyone who isn't Ben or James" I sighed, "the only time I see Ella is at work, I haven't seen Tristan properly since your wedding, Connor and Megan don't even feel part of my life anymore and Brad is married to my best friend and I've not spent more than an afternoon with them all year! I've been so caught up with Ben and James I've forgotten to stay in touch with the people who mean most to me"

"Livi you have a lot going on at the moment, you're performing a sold out show around the uk, you're boyfriend and best friend hate each and you're trying to live with both of them..."

"I didn't even know Tristan had a girl friend, and that's huge after everything with Harriet! And you know what the worst part is, you're all still here right behind me to make me feel better when I haven't been there for you"

"Livi we all know that you're there for us too, just because you're a bit busy sometimes doesn't mean that we all think you've left us! A lots happened this year, to all of us"

"I'm gonna sort myself out, I love Ben but I spend way to much time with the guy! I need to bring my family back in to my life" I smiled and Livi hugged me.

"We never left though" she laughed and I smiled.

"Come on, let's go for lunch, all of us" I smiled getting up and we went back down to the guys and went out for lunch.
