Lovely

Chapter 3

Julia's POV

I guess I never really thought about it. It is all possible I can date someone I fangirl about all the time. Part of the most popular boy band right now. This is all too much for me, much like a dream. "I must be dreaming," I say to Alice.

We were still eating our food, taking our time. Even talking about our meeting with One Direction. What are the chances of bumping into them and actually talking to them? We are just so lucky to be able to do that.

"Yeah," Alice said while taking a bite. She sounds a little different, kind of sad or something like that. I wonder what is wrong. She should be happy to meet a famous boy band. Some people go to some pretty weird extremes just to be in the same room with them.

"Are you sure everything is OK?" I asked her. Something just doesn't seem right.

She nods her head. "Yeah, everything is fine."

The look on her face said otherwise, but I guess it's something she doesn't want to talk about, so I change the subject. "So are you ready for tomorrow?" Hopefully this will help her happy and feel a little better.

"I am really looking forward to seeing them in concert," she says. "What if they bring us on stage? Can you imagine that?"

I froze, the food not quite in my mouth yet. What would happen if they did that? I have no idea how I would react. It's a good thing she brought it up now so I have time to think about it.

"Julia, are you there?" she asked my while waving her hand in front of my face.

I shake my head and say, "Sorry. I honestly don't have the slightest idea as to how I would react to that." She laughs and we finish eating. We gather the trash on the table, clean up, and throw it all away. "So how would you react?"

"Well," she started saying. "I would probably stand next to Liam."

I couldn't help but laugh at that. "Is that all?"

"Pretty much, yeah," she says, also laughing. We both walk towards the exit and she pulls out her phone again. "Can I have your number?"

"If I can have yours," I say to her, pulling out my phone. We exchanged phones and quickly entered the information. Once done, we walked outside and back to our own separate ways.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow," she says, making the turn back to the bakery where her vehicle is.

"Yeah, text me if you need anything or change of plans," I say, waving away and walk to my house. It was a long, quiet walk back. I feel like this day will be the day my life changes for the better. I smile as I unlock the door. I can't wait to see Niall again tomorrow, as well as the rest of the members of One Direction. Maybe I will confess my love of him. Nah, I think to myself. He probably already knows that.

I put my stuff away, and the thought of Niall is still in my head. The smile never seems to fade on my face, even as I go to sleep.

Alice's POV

Today I met a new friend, and we met One Direction. How much better could this day get? I sigh as I open the door to my house. I just can't believe that Liam and Sofia are still together. He seemed to care more about her than the fans. Which I understand, kind of.

I think back to what Julia said, maybe they will break up. A part of me wants them to, then I could have a chance with Liam. At least, I hope I would. But I just don't want to see Liam sad or hurt. They seem inseparable. The way Liam smiled at his phone when she texted him. I wish I could have that same effect on him.

I am suddenly very tired once I get into my bedroom. I change into my pajamas. It is becoming difficult to my eyes open. I guess it is time for me to go to sleep. Before I know it, my eyes close and I fell asleep on my bed.
