Things Are Finally Looking Up

1. A Year Later

Lilly's POV
It's been one year since the X-Factor days. I have put out one album and I'm almost ready to release another. Niall has been amazing! He has been so supportive with me and he has helped me transition into this life. I am currently finishing my first Worldwide Arena Tour.
I have not only worked on my music, but since I was at Uni for music production, Simon brought me on as an intern for One Direction's producer which let me have a few days each week with Niall. Simon also thought since I knew what the Directioners wanted so it was amazing! I still kept up with my channel which soared from one million to three million in a year. This was incredible.
I had time off on my tour and I decided to go on tour with the boy's while also finishing my songs for my next album. After that the boys and I had finished our tour. We had 5 months off with a few appearance here and there. Simon decided that I would open for One Direction and also be on tour for my own concert at the same time! So, our tour dates would be the same. We made the stage to where we could change it to mine within a day. I decided since I was touring so much, I bought my own tour bus and put in the things I would need. In the very back, instead of a place to hang out, I made it a miniature record ing atudio. The recording booth itself was made really small in order to have all of the other things needed in there. Then past the beds and the bathtoom was a hangout place and a tv. It was fun and I was excited. The bus had six beds so I offered to Simon to use my bus, it's not girlie at all and it would save money! He agreed so I am sharing a bus with five guys... I just realized that... what did I just do?
Anyway, we had a few months off and the boys were preparing for the Take Me Home tour, doing promotions and also finally seeing their family. I met Niall's mom and she was the sweetest person in the world! She thought of me highly and it was really nice to meet her. It was the holidays and they boys and their families met at a big beach house near Brighton Pier and we all had a gigantic celebration, it was really amazing. We danced all night and had fun... They boys even shoved me on stage making me sing my Christmas EP. After that, I made a toast saying, "This past year, not only have we come together as friends, but family. The love that I see is unbreakable and I am so happy you all have decided to let me have a part of your loving family. I want everyone to know, that the love they have given will always be remembered. I want to give a toast to the boys, may their future endeavors for the band and themselves be a legacy that will be talked about for decades! To Harry, Liam, Zayn, Louis, and Niall. Wait, no to Hazza, Daddy Direction, Zach, Lewis, and Nialler, the boys of One Direction" Everyone cheered and then Liam came up and said, "This all couldn't have happened if Lilly hadn't been there to help us create stuff we wanted. She made what was good, better and helped us relate to our fans. I speak on behalf of all of and say that Lilly, we are so luck to have met you! To Lilly, or Mumma Direction!" Everyone cheered and drank a sip. I said, "Now for a little surprise for all of you," I went up to the stage and said, "I never had a family this close and loving, so I wanted to give back. It was a tradition for myself at least to get everyone a gift. So, that's what I did..." Behind the massive tree were three two kilogram sacks of presents. I called out names and gave everyone a gift. I made it a point to get to know everyone and know at least a bit about themselves.
After all the kids went to bed, the only people left up were Liam, Danielle, Louis, Eleanor, Zayn, Perrie, Harry, Harry's new girlfriend Charlotte, Niall and me. We all exchanged gifts, I got all of the girls gift cards to make up stores and Forever 21. Things that were girlie. I got the boys all of the things they had hoped to get. Niall got me a necklace and it was a necklace that was in the shape of a four leaf with the Irish flag colors and it had the word Princess is it. It was a beautiful. I got him a ring with the Irish flag and he thought it was cute. After everything, we all went to bed.

It was after new year and we started to get prepared for the tour. The boys were releasing their album Take Me Home, the Take Me Home tour, and then possibly This Is Us, a movie! We just had time off and the boys finished off their tour, I finished of mine and we had time to relax. The boys and I did do promotions and things like that.
