Us Against The World // Chris Martin

Chapter 45: Jessica Tedder?

By the time my thirteenth birthday came, Chris was doing much better, and things had gone back to normal. The band began to work on writing some songs, and we were all going to go to London to record them once they finished writing.

I began to wonder if Chris and the boys had something planned, since Chris hadn't let me go in the backyard for nearly a week. Especially on the day before my birthday, where they told me I could go spend the night at a friend's house.

I had a feeling they were only trying to push me out of the house so they could work on something for a surprise, but I played along anyway.

"Who?" I Asked.

"What about that one girl you met at the meet and greet?" Guy Asked.

"Jessica?"

"Right. Jessica." Chris Said. "I'm sure she'd love to have you, right?"

I shrugged. "I could ask her."

"Perfect!" Jonny Said. "You do that."

I pulled out my phone while still staring at them, before going into my messages and texting Jessica.

Hey! Are you up for a sleepover? I think they're trying to kick me out of the house :p

Jessica quickly texted back.

Jessica: I know, Chris told me...we're on our way to pick you up

I looked up at Chris. "You already asked her?"

He facepalmed, Which made me guess that she wasn't supposed to tell me that.

"Well," Will laughed a little. "You should go pack, yeah?"

"Right!" I Said, shoving my phone back in my pocket before getting off of the couch and running over to the stairs.

I then ran up to my bedroom, quickly grabbing my suitcase and opening it up.

I was pretty excited, to be honest. This was my first sleepover. I mean like, ever.

My mum didn't let me have sleepovers, and neither did my aunt. I was excited to see what things we would do.

I quickly packed my bag, and just as I was finishing up, I heard a honking of a horn outside.

"Aaliyah, Jessica's here!" Chris called up.

"Coming!" I called back, before running out of my room and back down the stairs.

"I'm so excited!" I exclaimed, going over and slipping on my shoes.

Chris laughed a little. "I'm glad."

"This is my first sleepover...I wonder what we'll do!" I Said as I tied my laces. "Maybe we'll watch a movie...or stay up late telling stories!"

"The sleepovers I used to go to, the person who had me over always fell asleep." Chris Said, looking over at Phil.

Phil held up his hands defensively. "It's not my fault I don't have your crazy energy!"

Chris pretended to be offended. "I'm not crazy!"

"Yes you are!" Both Guy and Will Exclaimed simultaneously.

I laughed a little as I heard the car horn again.
