Chapter Forty - Three

*Mikey's P.O.V*

I'd finally got out of the meeting which went on for a good 2 and a half hours and was on my way to Derek's to meet the lads. It was about 1pm so I was starving. I pulled up onto the drive, parked the car, got out and knocked on Derek's door. Sophie answered hugging me and I hugged back. "What time you leaving to go pick up the girls?" I asked her as I headed inside. "3pm, so you're stuck with me for a couple hours" she replied laughing so I also laughed. She wandered off upstairs so I went into the living room to see Derek, Rory, Breyon and 2 new lads sat there. I knew the 2 lads well I just called them new because they'd never hung out with us before. They were both Youtubers too, Tayler Holder and Edwin Burgos. We'd met them at a few events like playlist and all got on really well. "Alright bro" I hugged Tayler, "Alright" I hugged Edwin. They 'heyed' me and hugged me back and we all got chatting. "I thought we could order food rather than go out?" Tayler suggested picking up his laptop. We all agreed and all decided on Taco Bell. We all put our orders in, including Sophie who joined us sitting on Derek's lap. Tayler placed the order and we turned the football on. Sophie didn't really care that the football was on either she just watched and cheered along with us lot.

About an hour had passed of us watching the football then turning paranormal activity on when the door knocked. It shit Edwin and Rory up as they hate horror films so hearing the knock half way through the film wasn't great. Me and Tayler went and opened the door to the man holding our food. I took the food to the kitchen to sort it out for everyone and Tayler kindly offered to pay for it all, so he stayed at the door with the man and payed. At that, I watched as the man left, Tayler closed the door and joined the others back in the living room. I sorted all the food out and bought it all in dishing it out to everyone in the living room. I then sat down and eat the food with them.

-----1HourLater-----

It was now 4pm and we were all still watching movies apart from Sophie who was just leaving to go pick up Amelia and Liv. I was a little worried about Liv going as this is the first crowded and big thing she has been too since out her chair and I don't know I just worry about her, but I know they'll have the best time. Everyone said bye to Sophie and I went. "Please ring me straight away if anything happens to Liv." I sighed hugging her. She smiled hugging back and replying with "of course I will." I smiled and sat back down letting Derek go say bye. We all waved and shouted bye as Sophie left the house then all turned back to the TV where we had gone from a horror to a comedy now and we were now watching Bad Neighbours 2.

*Sophie's P.O.V*

I said goodbye to everyone and then got into my car ready to go and pick the girls up. I was looking forward to the concert away from the guys and spending some girl time together, and girl time with us 3 was always good. First to pick up was Amelia as she was closest. I drove there and she was already waiting outside for me so I pulled up and she climbed in. "hey omg" I hugged her as she was sat in the front. "hey it seems like ages but it hasn't even been that long" she said laughing and hugging back. Once we'd hugged and said hello, I started the car again and drove off to Liv's. I pulled up on the drive and we climbed out. Amelia knocked on the door and Liv answered. "Hey girls" She smiled. We said hey, hugged and had a quick chat. "Right how about we get in the car and go so we can get some food?" I suggested unlocking the car. The girls obviously both agreed because it was food, and we climbed in and I drove off.

Amelia stayed in the front so Liv could have some more room in the back for her legs and we drove. Amelia set up the sat nav on my phone as I had no idea where I was going and she was in charge of telling me where to go because we had the music blasting and couldn't hear a thing the satnav was saying. We seemed to be on track and it seemed to be a shorter journey than planned so we either left early or I drove quicker than expected. Half way into the journey we pulled up at a service station and ran into Starbucks, obviously. We all had our usual and took them back to the car so we didn't waste too much of the journey and continued the ride.

After a short while we finally reached the place we had to get too. The venue was next to a mall so I decided to park on the 24 hour car park for the mall so we could go and get food in there and then just walk across to the venue for the concert. I parked, went and payed for a parking ticket and then came back to the car. I stuck the ticket on the front of my car and then Liv and Amelia climbed out. The mall was huge, bigger than the one near us that we always go too. Thank god we weren't shopping and looking around, we'd be here all day and night! We looked at the sign that was outside and it said that the food court was on the top floor. We walked in and went in the elevator before reaching the top floor to see loads of different places too eat.

*Amelia's P.O.V*

As we reached the top floor in the elevator, we stepped out to a whole floor full of food places to choose from. It was like food heaven. We walked around and we couldn't decide between in and out, Nando's or taco bell. Sophie did say she had some taco bell with the lads before we left so we ruled that one out and it was between In and Out and Nando's. Liv suggested In and Out because we always go to Nando's and me and Sophie agreed. We got escorted to a table as we approached the entrance and we sat down. I instantly grabbed a menu and looked. I was starving and being in a hot car for a couple hours wasn't fun or helpful.

Liv, Sophie and I decided on the food we wanted and waited for a waiter to come over. Eventually when the waiter came over we all ordered 3 cokes and the food and waited for it to come. "How are you and Mikey doing now Liv?" Sophie asked taking a sip of her drink as the drinks had been bought back quite quickly. "We're actually doing really well considering everything that's happened lately. Everything is really good and were back on track. How about you and Derek with the wedding plans ect?" Liv replied drinking from her drink too.

"That's good and were amazing. Were gonna start planning soon and hopefully have the wedding either next year or the year after, just gotta discuss it and see what we agree on." Sophie said nodding and smiling. I smiled at them both then they turned to me. Great. "And you and Rory?" Liv said winking.  I chuckled. "We're also really good thank you." We all chuckled and at that the food came out. Finally!
