Never Would Have Thought...

Chapter 4

Mel and I glanced at each other.

“Oh my god.” She whispered.

“This is it, you ready to meet your idols?” I asked her quietly. She nodded.

 I lifted my phone and held it sideways, and Mel and I both got in the picture. I tapped “accept.”

“Hellooo!” A chorus of male voices greeted us, and I instantly smiled, for there on the small screen was my brother Danny, who I saw first, then Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Zayn Malik. Off screen, Amelia was gripping my arm so tight my hand was starting to feel tingly.

“Hey Danny! I miss you.” I managed to speak. “Introduce us?”

“Hey Liv, Hey Melly. This is Liam, Niall, Louis, Harry and Zayn. Guys, this is my sister Olivia-” he pointed to me, then Amelia. “and her best friend Amelia. They’re coming to one of your shows in Miami.

Harry yawned, then spoke in a beautiful English accent. His voice was deep and slow. “We just had our last show here in the UK, and we’re boarding the plane to America tomorrow. Which show are you coming to?”

“The second one, I think it’s on the 26th.” Amelia said, and when I looked at her she was smiling. We giggled as we made eye contact.

“What’s funny?” Zayn asked, smiling.

“Nothing, they’re just fangirling over you gorgeous mofos.” Daniel said, and I mentally slapped him upside his head.

“Danny. No, we’re not. Just for that, I’m keeping your room as my drawing studio. You can sleep on the floor when you get home.” I stuck my tongue out at him, and he laughed.

“Drawing studio? You draw?” Niall asked me. I blushed lightly.

“Yeah, um, I sketch and stuff. I want to get into more digital drawing, though. I can’t afford a tablet.” I laughed shyly and shrugged.

“Can we see what you’ve drawn?” Liam asked me, making me blush deeper. He sounded like he really wanted to see.

“Uh, sure? Here Mel, hold my phone.” I gave Amelia my phone and I grabbed my sketchbook, flipping through it to find one of my better pieces. I stopped on the drawing I was working on before Melly showed up. It was of her and me, lying in the grass, our hair going everywhere. I held it up so the boys could see.

“Woah.” Louis said.

“That’s pretty good, Liv.” Harry told me. This time I squeezed Mel’s arm off camera.

“Yeah, that’s really cool, is it you guys?” Zayn asked me. I nodded, looking affectionately at my picture. I felt proud and very happy that they thought my work was good.

“I told ya.” Mel said, shoving me lightly. I smiled and we kept chatting with the boys through my phone.

“Amelia can sing, too. She’s pretty good.” Daniel told the guys, from where he was off camera. Niall was holding his phone while he and Harry were in the shot.

“Show us!” Niall said enthusiastically. Amelia blushed and started shaking her head.

“I don’t know, I’m not very g-”

“Show us, Mel!” Harry pleaded. She smiled.

“Fine, I guess I’ll sing a little. What song?”

"Little Things.” I whispered in her ear.

“You sure?” She whispered back. I nodded, and she took a  deep breath.
