"Sara! Over here!" "Sara! Can I please ask you a couple of questions?" "Sara! Is it true you were friends with 4/5 of One Direction before they were on The X-Factor?"

I put on my Ray-bans and strutted into my condo building. I walked into the lift and pressed the penthouse floor.

So, I will give you the quick summary of what happened after I got accepted for the X-Factor. I had actually won it all and I got signed. After that I did some songs that are actually pretty big.

Call Me Maybe is one of my big hits. I am extremely grateful that I have actually gotten this far. As far as Lou and Niall, they ended up getting put together in a group with Haz, Zayn, and another bloke named Liam. They are called One Direction.

They are very big in, I think, all continents. Niall and I kind of stopped talking about the dating thing. We used to talk about being together after we both knew it was what we wanted, but somehow it drifted away from our conversations. I don't know why or how, but he just did. Now I have a boyfriend, Brennan. As for me and Louis we never stopped talking, actually he is really living up to being the best best friend ever. We usually go over each other's place when we are both in town, otherwise we just Skype.

I got out the lift and went to the room at the end of the corridor. I unlocked it and walked over the threshold. I put my keys in the bowl and set my purse next to it. I walked to the toilet and did my business. I walked into the living room and sat on the recliner. Turning on the telly, it immediately showed E! "Niall has been seen with yet another girl. This is the 3rd time this week, that has to be the first. He has been seen with 4 different girls. They have all been seen coming out of his flat, but none of the girls say anything to the paps. The paparazzi have photos of Niall sneaking around in bars. Could this Irish heartthrob be hiding something?"

I quickly turned the telly off and got up not wanting to feel the unwelcome pang of jealousy. I walked into the kitchen and made some chicken flavoured Ramen noodles. I grabbed a fork and went to the island. I sat down on the stool and got a bottle of water. I started eating my noodles when I heard someone knock on the door. I swallowed and went to the door. I went to the door and looked through the peephole thingy; it might be the paps.

When I didn't see anyone I turned on my heel, ready to walk away to finish my noodles. There was another knock and then giggles. I frowned and this time just opened the door.

I was greeted with 7 people pulling me into one big hug. "Sara!" they chorused together. I giggled and pulled them inside, still embraced in the hug, and closed the door. After I finally got out of the bone crushing hug I went back into the kitchen. Everyone gathered around the kitchen excitedly.

We made a circle around the island. Me, Niall, Zayn, Rachel, Liam, Danielle, Harry, Louis, and then coming back to me. They looked giddy as I continued to look at them suspiciously while I ate my noodles. I stopped eating and when I did Niall quickly took the glass bowl from me. I glared at him for taking my food, but he didn't look up. I rolled my eyes and took a sip of my water.

I looked at everyone, frowning because they were looking like creeps. "Is there a reason you guys look like you are gonna eat me?" "Tomorrow we are going to New York City!" Rachel screamed. I squealed and also became giddy at going to New York City. I always wanted to go because if you listen to Alicia Keys and Jay-Z song New York, she says that's where dreams are made, I have always wanted to go. Plus it's beautiful at night.

"Why?" I asked, stopping my squealing. "Well, why not?" "I just wanted to know if there was a reason behind it." "Look around Sara. It's gonna be Christmas in less than 24 hours! Why not go to New York! And, well, we wanted to count down to New Years." Rachel answered again.
