Tonight's Cloudy Sky (Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter 8- Blue Eyes

I could hear Mattie slowly making her way towards my room. She was opening everyone's doors and yelling at us to wake up.

I snuggled down farther under my duvet until only my eyes were peaking out. I closed my eyes and tried to enjoy what I knew were my last seconds in this comfortable bed.

"AMELIA!" Mattie ran into my room and pounced onto my bed. "WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WE NEED TO GET READY!" She jumped up and down, yanking the covers off of me. I opened one eye to see my smiling best friend leaning over me with a huge smile on her face. She was wearing a very vintage- and very hipster- navy blue dress with red stripes at the bottom, paired with tan lace-up shoes. Her hair was gracefully braided over her head and her makeup was minimalistic as usual.

I grinned back at her and sat up. Usually- if I'm woken up before I'm ready- I would have kicked Mattie out of my room. But since I was as excited as she was, I couldn't blame her.

I scrambled out of bed. "Mattie, what should I wear?!" I opened my closet and looked inside at all of my new clothes. I was about to go see my favorite band in the whole world, and I hadn't been smart enough to plan my outfit ahead of time. I looked over my shoulder at Mattie, panicking.

"Turquoise one- shoulder dress and nude wedges. Love, just because you weren't smart enough to plan your outfit doesn't mean I wasn't." She walked past me and into my closet, grabbing the dress and shoes.

"You're an absolute genius, you know that?" I stared in amazement at the perfect outfit in Mattie's hands. "How did you come up with this?"

She laughed. "I couldn't go to sleep last night so I had nothing better to do." Mattie gave me the clothes and skipped out of my room, probably to give the others the outfits she had planned for them. I grinned, realizing how totally blessed I am to have such awesome friends.

I stepped into the closet and closed the door behind me. I placed the shoes on the floor and the dress back onto the rack as I pulled off my pajamas. My heart was beating quickly, knowing that in a couple of hours I would be in que to go see One Direction.

After changing into a strapless bra, I gently took the dress down and put it on. Smoothing the skirt, I walked towards the mirror and examined my face. Being in the fantastic mood I was in, I decided not to critique myself this morning. Instead, I applied a little bit of brown eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara, not wanting to look like someone who tried too hard.

As I turned around to walk out, it hit me.

What if I met them.

I had heard of several instances where the boys pulled girls up on stage, or went out to meet them in line. So what if I was one of those girls. I shut away the pessimistic part of me before I could start to doubt my dreams.

I continued to daydream as I fixed my hair. I didn't do much to it- just a bit of brushing and taming. Once I deemed myself beautiful, I bent over and grabbed the shoes from the floor and walked out of my room.

In Meredith's room, I heard arguing.

"Mattie, I am not going to wear a dress to a concert!"

"But you will look amazing!"

"No!"

I heard a door open and Mattie groaned.

"Meredith, please!"

"I wanna be comfortable!"

"Ugh, fine!" Mattie gave up and storms out of Meredith's room and into Ariel's. I could make out Mattie now ordering Ariel to get up and get dressed and I smiled, continuing down the hallway. It was funny how Mattie could change from a lovable crazy person to the mother of us all.
