The 1975

Chapter Sixteen || The british are coming!

Date: July 4th

Location: Long Island, New York

Today was the most amazing holiday ever, the Fourth of July! Wanna know why it's the best holiday ever? Because you don't have to buy gifts and it's hot out so you can go swimming and wear shorts and all that jazz! Literally one of my favorite holidays and what made things better was that my boys were coming over today.

Oliver, Matty, George, Ross and Adam had all flown down together yesterday from the UK. They had gotten in super late and since my mom said we couldn't host them all over our house my dad just paid for a hotel room for them. He also sent a car so they would be here in a hour or so.

The last few days at home were actually pretty good. Nobody mentioned Kevin thankfully and I spent most my dad with Isis. Oddly enough I didn't talk to the guys that much since Norway, the longest conversation we had was about their flight information and hotel information. Anyways while I was at home I didn't do much just help around and all that fun stuff.

"Abbi baby we gotta get ready" Isis said as she came out my bathroom.

Isis slept over last night so we could both get ready for the party plus I think she was really excited to see Adam.

"I'm up" I yawned then got out of bed.

After my shower I walked out my bathroom to find Isis doing her hair. She was going for nice tight curls. Her makeup was already done and she was wearing a white maxi dress and wedges that she set to the side.

"You're going to get makeup on your dress" I said as I went through my closet.

"Unlike you I'm a pro" Isis gloated.

I laughed, she was defiantly not. It was really hot out today like extremely hot so anything heavy would kill me. After much thought I changed into white distressed high waisted shorts that covered most of my stomach and my butt, a navy blue crochet bralette, it had thick straps and a really pretty design on it and red toms. I had to admit I looked very good.

"Want me to do your hair?" Isis asked, I nodded then sat down on my bed.

Isis started curling my hair and unlike her I wasn't a big fan of tight curls, I like when they fall so that my hair looks fully and a mix of curly waves. While she curled it I stared doing my makeup. I went with nude colors because honestly I didn't need to show my American pride anymore! After everything was done we both clipped our hair back with patriotic bows we got online.

"Abigail your friends are pulling up" my mom called as Isis and I trotted downstairs.

When I opened the door the only one that wasn't wearing black was Oliver of course. The guys, aside from Oliver, all had on black skinny jeans with rips in them. Adam had on a black shirt, Ross had on a navy blue one, George had on a white one and Matty had on of course a floral shirt. Oliver on the other hand had on cargos and a white shirt with a American flag pocket.

We greeted them with hugs then let them inside. Of course my mom and dad were standing there smiling like idiots.

"This is my mom and dad" I said introducing them.

"Hello" my mom said hugging Matty first. "You all can call me Maria"

"Hello" My dad half smiled, he's not as loving as my mom. "Welcome to our home"

Once my mom finished hugging them all I led then outside. We had a pretty big yard and since I had a lot of younger cousins and some of Isis's brothers have kids, my mom rented one of those bounce house things. It was pretty big and had like a obstacle course inside then a slide on the side. Aside from the bounce house we had table with cups on them and open space just waiting for my mom to put food on them.
