----------------Lily's POV----------------
"Hurry up!" my Mum yells as I put the finishing touches on my make-up.
"Just coming" I yell back.
I quickly grab my little white sparkly bag and my red Blackberry Q5 off my bed before heading down the stairs.
I am wearing a light blue dress with a flowery lace pattern on top of a blue silk-like material, silver sparkly sandals and a little white cardigan. My hair is done up in light ringlets that fall around my face and I am wearing minimal make-up, some concealer, lipgloss and mascara.
I reach the bottom of the stairs to find my Mum, Dad, Granny, Papa and little sister, Olivia, staring expectantly at me, "Sorry I took so long I was fixing my make-up." I say sheepishly
"Don't worry you look beautiful dear!" My Granny exclaims.
**********
My family has been planning a massive family get-together for just under a year now and everyone has chipped in some money each to help pay for our venue, the Mar Hall Hotel. It's a very fancy hotel which many celebrities have stayed in and guess who's staying there now? One Direction! I probably won't see them but seeing as we have booked a few rooms for the night, you never know, I might!
As we reach the entrance to the Grand Hall we are greeted by some of our family members for Australia.

It's now 9 o'clock and I have been dancing since 4 with a small half-hour break at 6 for dinner. I'm starting to feel really sick and I am getting a really bad headache so I walk over to my Mum and ask her, "Can I please go up to the room? I really don't feel good."
"Okay. Are you alright? You do look a bit pale."
"I'm alright, just feeling a bit unwell that's all."
"Alright then."
My Mum and Dad come up to the room with me. As soon as I get into the hotel room, 122, I head straight for the bathroom.
"I'm going to go for a shower and see if that makes me feel any better."
"Okay baby. We're going to try and find someone to watch you while we're gone." My Mum replies.
"But I'm 16!" My Mum turns to me and gives me a "I'm-your-Mum-you'll-do-what-I-tell-you-to" look, "It's in case your sick or something worse happens."
"Fine." I huff.
I close the bathroom door and lock it before turning on the shower and stripping off my clothes. As I stand in the shower I try to relax as I massage my lemon scented shampoo into my hair. I start humming the beginning of "Let It Go" and soon I am singing my heart out to all of my favourite songs!
---------------- Niall's POV----------------
I storm, slightly angrily, down the corridor in my "disguise", which is really only a beanie and some sunglasses but surprisingly works, with a leaflet in my hand.
Simon wanted to get us a babysitter and left leaflets for some of the best babysitters in our room! So I grabbed the first one on the top of the pile and am now on my way to find him!
Just as I round the corner, I bump into a tall, dark haired lady who looks like she's in her late 40s.
"Oh I'm so sorry!" I say quickly, bending down to pick up the leaflet I dropped, but the lady gets there first.
"Oh! Are you a babysitter?! Perfect! You're exactly what I need!" She exclaims, not letting me get a word in.
I follow the lady into her room, it's very similar to our room, with a big living room and seep rate bedrooms only it's slightly smaller.
"Oh I'm Carroll-Anne by the way and my daughters name is Lily. My number is on the desk in the corner over there just in case. I'd better be off then! We'll be back around 1 if that's okay? Lily's in the shower, she shouldn't be too long."
"Um..Okay. but-" I get cut off as she walks out and closes the door behind her. I take off my disguise and quickly whip out my phone. I send a group text to the boys saying,
Hey guys! I'm stuck babysitting a girl called Lily I'm in room 122 come down!! - Ni x
There's a loud knock on the door, so I walk over and look through the peep-hole. The other four boys are standing in the other side looking slightly annoyed.
I open the door and they walk in.
"What were you thinking Ni?!"
"What have you done?!"
"We're gonna be in SO much trouble!"
"Ni you idiot!"
This went on for a few minutes then the shower turned off.
-----------------Lily's POV-----------------
I hear the door close, that must be Mum gone, I go back to washing my hair and singing VERY loudly the One Direction song "Best Song Ever"! A few minutes later I hear a loud knock on the door,then the door opens and I hear some very loud English people. I stop singing and try to listen in on the conversation but I can't tell what they're saying.
I finish washing and turn off the shower, the voices suddenly stop. I grab a towel and wrap it securely around me.
I step out the bathroom and come face to face with five VERY cute boys. Well what do you know I was right!
