Remembrance- A Before You Exit Fanfiction

Red Carpet Events

I looked at myself one more time in the mirror, admiring the girl standing in front of me. She didn't look anything like me. She looked confident, daring, dangerous, mischevious, beautiful, and most of all, she looked like she knew who she was. I was jealous of the girl in the mirror, but at the same time, I knew that she wasn't the person I wanted to be. There was a strong feeling in my gut that the girl in the mirror, she was who I used to be. Rude, arrogant, disrespectful, violent, and crazy. I don't want to be her again. I like being the girl who will stay up late at night and dream up my dream date, the girl who will sit in her bed at 1 in the morning, blasting her music to forget reality because her reality is too much for her to handle. I like being the shy girl who will use music to escape to anywhere else besides where she currently is because where she is, is absolute crap. Yeah, it sucks knowing that I'm breaking Braiden's heart every second I'm near him, and it sucks knowing that if I ever do gain my memory back, I'll have to choose between Braiden and Toby. It honestly does suck, but I would much rather face these bumps in the road than be who I used to be. So, although I'm envious of the beautiful girl in the mirror, I would never want to be her again. Not in a million years. 

I tore my eyes away from the mirror and made my way down the stairs, being careful not to trip in my pumps. As I made it to the bottom of the stairs, I heard several gasps. I glanced up and saw the whole gang in front of me, staring. 

"Yes?" I asked. Niall walked up first and took my small hand in his larger one, kissing it softly. 

"Seeing you like this almost makes me wish we were actually dating." Niall said, grinning up through his lashes. 

"Almost?" I questioned, a slight smile on my face. 

"Well, I mean there is Annabelle....." Niall trailed off into his own little world. I laughed and looked at the 3 beautiful girls standing in front of me, making me feel out of place.

"You guys look amazing, like always." I said to them, a smile plastered on my face.

"You look better than I do." Perrie stated, playing with her dress slightly. I shook my head and chuckled.

"Let's not even start a 'who looks prettier' war." I laughed.

"We all look wonderful, now let's go. We're already late." Paul said, appearing, yet again, out of nowhere.

"Sir, yes sir." I said, faking a salute. Paul pushed my hand off my forehead and laughed at me.

"Whatever loser, let's just go. The limo is already here." Paul said, ushering us all out of the house and into the chilly night air. I smiled up at the stars and breathed in the crisp air before I made my way to the car. The ride was short, mostly made up of compliments and inside jokes and random chatter about some after party. We picked Gemma up from her hotel right before we got to the event, so we didn't have much time to talk, but she seemed like a really sweet girl. Finally, we pulled up to the curb of the event and I could already hear screams and yells and I could see the flashes coming from paparazzi. Harry and Gemma went first, then Zayn and Perrie, then Louis and El, then Liam and Dani, and finally, Niall and I. Niall stepped out first and offered me his hand, which I gladly took and got out of the limo myself. Niall laced his fingers with mine and smiled to the people surrounding us, yelling questions at us and calling our names. I did my best to smile genuinely, but it was kinda scary having all of these flashes around you.

"Just smile and act like yourself, don't worry. They can't hurt us." Niall said into my ear. I flashed a smile to him and nodded, squeezing his hand.

"Niall, Lindsey! Over here!" Came from about 20 different directions all at once, again freaking me out, but I managed to keep a smile on my face and pose with Niall. A woman walked up to us and told us where to stand and where to look, as well as complementing my dress. After a good hour of smiling and posing, we were finally ushered into the event.

-----------------------------

The event went good. I didn't wanna go to the after party, so I hung out with Jaden Smith. Ya know, the usual. Who am I kidding? I HUNG OUT WITH JADEN FREAKING SMITH AKSKDNLKCJKDHSLKDJE. Anyway, he made my night by hitting on me, which made me want to cry. I respectfully told him I had a boyfriend and he seemed a little disapointed, but he still gave me his number and told me to call him anyway just to talk or hang out if he's ever in town. I mean come on, who wouldn't hang out with Jaden Smith? He was honestly like the sweetest guy ever and I'm considering dumping Niall and Toby and making him my boyfriend. Okay, I'm totally kidding, but he would make an amazing boyfriend, just not for me. Although, I will be expecting to see us in a magazine together considering I saw a few paps around stalking us. Jaden actually held my hand, even after I told him about Niall and I, which easily caught the attention of several paps. He was cute though. Definetly something I'll never forget.... wait........

"Lindsey??? Hellooooooo?" El said faintly, waving her hand in front of my face. I shook my head and laughed slightly, breaking myself out of the trance that was Jaden Smith.

"Sorry, what?" I asked.

"What were you drooling about?" She asked. All eyes were on me while I blushed.

"Well... you guys know that I didn't wanna go to the after party... so I um.. I hung out around the little kids that came as well.... and I um..... I met Jaden Smith... and he was flirting with me and um..... he kinda held my hand and... um... he might have kissed my cheek when I left..... and he uh.... he gave me his number........." I trailed off, burning a bright shade of red.

"JADEN SMITH?!?!?! YOU LUCKY LITTLE CHILD!!!!" Dani screeched. El, Perrie and Gemma nodded their heads in agreement.

"What about us?!?! I thought what we had was real!!" Niall cried out, fake sobbing into his hands. I laughed and patted his back.

"It was, but...... he's Jaden Smith." I said quietly. Niall continued to fake sob while the rest of us laughed.

"Okay, Niall, Lindsey, leave." Paul said, opening the limo door for us.

"Bye guys! Bye Gemma, it was great to meet you." I said quickly before I got out.

"You too!" I heard Gemma say from inside. I laughed as Niall stumbled out of the car like a drunk man and leaned his weight on me.

"Let's go doll, there are sandwiches to be made." Niall fake slurred, pointing towards the house. Oh Nialler.
