Grow Up (A One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 22

Well hello there Dreamers!! Long time no chat!! I have a lot of excuses for that! I've been away on holiday, relaxing and soaking up the sun :) but sadly that comes to an end today, because school is starting up again this afternoon for me :0 oh well.

Enjoy this chapter! After all this drama I think you all deserve a chapter with a little bit of fun :) xxx

"He said what?" Mia gasps as I explain everything that had happened this morning as the two of us sip cups of tea in my apartment.

"Yup, management didn't want them to have anything to do with me." I repeat.

"Wow, thats crazy! So, has Liam texted you yet?" Mia asks excitedly.

"Yeah, he sent me a text saying to be outside my apartment at seven tonight, and I guess we'll just see what happens from there." I reply.

"Aria! It's five! Damn, you should have told me earlier! You have to get ready!" Mia squeals.

"Yeah, Yeah, I just wanted to tell you everything first." I chuckle, uncrossing my legs and getting up from my comfy position on the couch.

"I'll help you get ready!" Mia offers, getting up off the couch after me.

"Ok." I sigh as the two of us head into my bedroom.

"I was going to give this to you tomorrow, but now seems like the perfect occasion." Mia says, holding out a stunning blue cocktail dress to me.

"You brought this, for me?" I gasp, eyeing the beautiful garment.

"Uh, huh, thats what friends are for, right?" Mia giggles, holding the dress out to me.

"Wow, I don't know what to say." I reply.

"Thanks, I guess! Now let me do your makeup!" Mia says.

"I can do my own makeup!" I chuckle.

"I know, but I enjoy doing it!" Mia replies grabbing the dress back off me, laying it out on my bed, and then dragging me into the bathroom with her.

"I wish you could come with me." I sigh, as Mia applies a pallet of bold blues and a few grey's to my eyes.

"Me too, but you need time alone with them. Also, it's not like I can get together romantically with one of them, I have my lovely boyfriend Tom." Mia replies, moving onto my lips, painting them in a subtle pink.

"I guess, but your a fan, and my best friend, it's the least I could do. You really deserve to meet them." I moan, and Mia giggles.

"Aria, if everything goes well tonight I'll hopefully meet them one day, I'm just really happy that you are trying to patch things up with them tonight." Mia says, beginning to put my blonde hair up in a bun, leaving a few strands loose that hang in light waves, framing my perfectly made up face.

"Mia, you are the best friend ever, I hope you know that. Hey, when do you have to go back to Dunedin?" I ask, getting up out of the chair as the two of us head into my bedroom again.

"Tomorrow, sadly, I have to get back to my studies!" Mia replies giving me a warm smile.

"Aww, I'm going to miss you!" I complain, as Mia helps me shimmy into the deep blue cocktail dress, the soft fabric feeling like heaven against my skin.

"Woah." I mutter, as Mia spins me around to look at myself in my bedrooms full length mirror.

"You look crazy hot, now be careful Aira, with great power comes great responsibility!" Mia laughs and I give her a light slap on her shoulder for her cheeky comment.
