Megan’s P.O.V

The first thought that entered my head today was Hugo. Today was his funeral. I really wanted to be back home, with my family. I felt so homesick. I dragged myself down to my weekly breakfast with Jahmene. “Is today the day?” he asked. I nodded. Jahmene was extremely religious hence why he didn’t drink when he went out. “I’m sure Hugo, will have an amazing send off and enjoy his new home with God” Jahmene smiled. I smiled back. Jahmene’s smile was infectious.

T noticed that I was upset this morning. I couldn’t stop thinking of Hugo. “I didn’t find out till last night after the show, Megan, I’m so sorry.” T apologised. “It’s okay, it’s just today is his funeral” I murmured. I forced myself not to cry, I bit down on my lip so hard, I swear I could taste blood. “This week, there is no theme; you just choose two songs that you think will get you through to the final.” T smiled. I had to really think about this. I know that I wanted to sing ‘Stay’ by Miley Cyrus and dedicate to my Uncle. I was also thinking of singing ‘Perfect’ by Pink and playing my guitar. I mentioned these song choices with T and she was happy with them. We went through the key of the song and which song I would sing first. T made sure I was comfortable with these songs and she was going to leave the staging and my outfit to me this week to make sure I was completely comfortable.

I left T and went back to the hotel to get the chords for Perfect online. I sang through both my songs a few times each.

I decided to go to Costa for a toasty and some hot chocolate for lunch. I haven’t been to Costa in what seems like ages. I was walking past the lift in the lobby and the boys walked out of the lift. “Hey Megan” Josh smiled. “Hey” I replied. “Where are you heading?” Josh asked. “Out for some lunch, where are you guys heading?” I asked. “Were heading to lunch too, do you mind if we join you?” Josh asked. “Sure, I’m heading to Costa if that’s okay?” I mentioned. George’s eyes lit up at the thought of coffee. “Coffee is just what the doctor ordered” Jaymi laughed. “Hung-over ehh? Must have been some party last night” I joked. “Well, what I remember of it, it was pretty mental.” Jaymi grinned. I had to laugh at how sore the boys’ heads were. I’m so glad I’m too young to drink; I’m more of a stay-in person.

It was so nice to have a hot chocolate; I think I’m becoming addicted to them at the moment. When I arrived back from lunch, I practised some more, I felt the pressure already with two songs to perform this week. At about 2:30, I got a text from mum. “Hi Pet, funeral is over, you up for a skype? Love mum xx” I had completely forgot about the funeral when I went for lunch, how stupid was that? I pulled out my laptop and turned on my skype. My mum called me straight away and I could see that all the family were at the house. They must be having tea and sandwiches after Hugo’s burial.

It was so emotional talking to everyone back home. I was so homesick, I wanted to be back home with everyone, Mum, Jade, Bella, Vicky, Carole, Mary, I even missed Conor, who was one of the most annoying people ever; we always took the Mickey out of him. The skype call ended in tears, I just missed everyone so much, and I needed some fresh air. After dinner, I put on a few jumpers and put a blanket and some water in a backpack. I pulled on my beanie and wore my geeky glasses. I slipped out the back entrance of the hotel; I didn’t want to be noticed.
