Saturday 22nd May,
12hours till the grande finale
8:00
Lauren opens the door to her 3 best friends standing around in the corner, exited looks filling all of their faces as they push through into the room.
"todays the day!" Zara screams. dropping everything in her hands and pulling the girl into a tight hug, the pair jumping up and down on the spot a few times.
"its gone to fast...god I don't want it to be over!" Lauren says, stepping away from Zara and to her dressing table.
"ugh neither, Im in a relationship with someone who lives in ITALY man, I don't know how its gonna work" Quinn says, running her hands through the roots of her hair.
"speaking of, have you spoke to Ethan today?" Nat says, helping Lauren do the back of her necklaces up for her.
"yes I saw them all this morning" Laurens eyes snap up to look at Quinn through the mirror, recalling what had happened yesterday.
After the kissed they shared, Lauren and Domino stayed in the water for a little longer but went back to their own hotel rooms and since then haven't talked.
"Ethan said he came back soaking wet yesterday all giddy" Lauren looks down at her hands to stop any form of eye-contact happening, "which is weird cause him and his girl..."
Theres a moment of silence from the girl before a sudden gasp escaped from the girls, almost as if they had clocked It all at the same time.
"Lauren davies!"
"you sneaky bitch!"
"was it good?"
"was what good?" Lauren asks, looking up at Zara.
"the kiss dipshit"
"how did you know- I mean, we didn't-"
"mhm keep talking Shakira"
"alright alright" she says, a small smile appearing on her lips, "it was a good kiss"
"I KNEW IT"
"bloody Italians"
"Lauren be careful alright, you might never see him again after today" nat says, slapping her on the back of the head lightly.
"I know I know, I have too much to do today to be thinking about him"
she was lying.
Their was a sharp knock at the door, Zara running over and opening it wide enough so all the girls could see who was there.
"ladies, how we doing on this fine morning in the beautiful Rotterdam?" Will says, the five boys, including her brother, walking into the room.
"were all good, I just need to grab my stuff and then we can head onto the coach"
"mighty alrighty" Ronnie says, walking over to Laurens bed and jumping down onto it.
The others start to walk out of Laurens room, the girl grabbing her bag before quickly checking her appearance in the mirror.
She was wearing a light brown over-sized sweater with plenty of jewellery draped across her chest. She had her white trainers on, very light makeup on her face and her hair was put back into a low bun
"you look great Lauren" Ronnie says, groaning as he jumps off the bed, "come on m'lady"
"why thank you kind sir" she says taking his arm and linking them together, "to the arena we go!"
They close the door behind them, climbing into the lift and taking it to the bottom floor. They wave goodbye to a few other people in the lobby, walking out into the carpark to see Mia waiting outside the coach, smiling broadly at the girl.
"my superstar" she says, "how are we feeling this morning hm?"
"feeling great Mia" climbing onto the coach, "feeling great"
she walks to the back of the coach and sits down next to her brother in the pair seatings.
"sitting next to me are you?" George says, looking up from his phone, "oh by the way, dad says he'll call you in a bit.
"I just wanna sit next to my lil brother..and yeah I'll keep an ear out"
The coach takes off, a loaf of cheers and applauses arising from the group. Altogether there were quite a lot of people on board. Lauren and her brother, her 3 best friends, the boys, a medic, Mia, Brian and Riley and a few people that were linked to Eurovision staff.
The coach is filled with chasing, singing and happiness, Lauren hadn't felt this amazing in a while and she was so gutted that very, very soon she would be going back to London, away from this feeling, away from Eurovision and most of all, away from the Italian boy in her heart.
she feels her phone vibrating in her pocket, Lauren pulling out her phone from her pocket in her sweater, reading out her mums name on her screen.
she clicks "answer" and raises the phone to her ear, covering her other ear to hear her mum on the other end of the line.
"hello?"
"my baby!" she hears her squeal, Lauren letting out a soft chuckle, "the big day! how are you feeling?"
"I'm good mum, exited but, lord I'm nervous"
"you have nothing to be nervous about, I know your gonna kill it!"
"mum, we came last in 2019, did you see the percentages this year? the world hates us"
"don't even worry about what the juries have to say, your song is so much more than what some stupid old so called experts think"
"thanks mum" she laughs, looking out the window to see them pulling into the arena carpark, "right I've got to go, we're at the arena now okay but I'll text or..call you later?"
"of course you will darl, me and your dad love you okay? go have a good rehearsal"
"love you!"
"love you more"
