The Way Things Change

Chapter 72

"Thank you so much for letting me stay! It really has been fun." I pulled Marcus in for a hug. He had dropped me off at the mall where Little Mix were going to have their signing. I was going to surprise them, by coming by a little earlier than we planned. Marcus had some business for the day, so I had decided to put on a disguise and stand in line to see 'my idols'. I had made a banner and everything. I couldn't wait to see them again!

"No problem! Come by anytime!" He chuckled. "Gotta go! Bye." He waved and ran away screaming, limbs waving all over the place. Yes, he was that crazy. Not only on Vine, but in real life also. I giggled, turning to join the rest of the fans. Just another half hour in this line and I would see them again.

The crowd started chanting for Little Mix, I joining along to make it believable. And it was actually kind of fun. It had never done this before and the excitement and anticipation took over my body, with the rest of the waiting people. It was to see them again though, not for the first time, but it was the same feeling nonetheless.

The crowd went wild, indicating that they had arrived, even though I couldn't yet see them. I cheered along, becoming one with this humongous choir. They got up on stage, singing a few songs before they actually started the signing. Slowly but steadily I felt the line move forward. I was getting more and more nervous for every step I took forward. Weird, since I already knew them and I was to meet them tonight, but somehow still nervous.

When the table came in sight I took off the disguise, holding the banner in front of my face. I wanted to wait till the last minute before revealing myself.

"Hi love, what's your name?" I heard Jade say.

"Hi. I-I'm Julie. OHMYGOD. I LOVE YOU!" That seemed to be the standard sentence from every fan girl. Just a slight name change and you would have it. Some girls were crying of happiness, everybody squealing for my friends, who had no clue I was next in line.

"Hey? You made a lovely banner, now can I see your pretty face?" Jade questioned me, reaching to the banner, tugging it away from me.

"KATE!" She screamed, jumping up to hug me. I started laughing uncontrollably, hugging her back. The look on her face had been priceless. The look on all of their faces actually. When they heard Jade scream, they had all turned to her, making them see me.

"What are you doing here?" Jesy asked when she stole me away from Jade, also hugging me tightly. "I thought we would pick you up tonight!"

"I just felt like surprising you." I shrugged. "And it was definitely worth it. You should have seen your faces!" I giggled again.

"You're a real bastard sometimes, you know." Perrie giggled along. I moved along the table, not making the line stop. I knew these fans had been waiting for ages, so I wasn't going to aggravate them.

"But you love me anyway." I teased, giving Leigh-Anne a hug. "But I don't want to interrupt, so I'll wait in the back till you're done, okay?"

"We need an update! What have you been up to? In the past... what is it? Three months?" Leigh clapped her hands together when we had made ourselves comfortable in the 'lounge room' on their tour bus. They looked a bit tired, but who would blame them. They had been on tour for a while. And they looked surprisingly good, considered the most definite lack of sleep. I knew that from staying with the lads. I was lucky, I could sleep when I wanted to, but they needed to do so many things, it was crazy.
