Story of my Life

Chapter 5

We stepped outside and I could see why we had to wear sunglasses. There were hundreds of girls outside. "Keep the glasses on." Liam said,covering me from the girls view. What was going on? I thought. The girls hadn’t seen us yet.

“Act normal.” He whispered taking my hand, and trying to pull me around the girls. Liam’s hat fell off then the screaming started.

“Leg it!” Liam yelled at me pulling me with him. I screamed as the girls began to pull and grab at me as well. “STOP!” I screamed trying to pull away, beginning to panic. We finally got free from the huge crowd and into a car which speed off. “WHAT WAS THAT?!” I screamed at Liam. “You don’t know?” He replied. “KNOW WHAT LIAM!” I screamed at him, he flinched “I’m famous, I’m in a band.”  I paused for a minute to let the words sink in, “YOU’RE WHAT!” I screamed, “YOU’RE FAMOUS AND YOU DIDN’T THINK TO TELL ME!” “I’m sorry, I thought you recognized me.” Liam said looking down. “Recognize you, Liam I’ve been homeless for nearly 3 years, I’ve barely seen myself, let alone a TV!” I said, beginning to cry. “Hey, hey, I’m sorry I should of warned you.” He said pulling me into a hug, as we pulled up a long driveway.

I got out of the car, a young women with a child on her hip standing at the door, waiting to greet us. “Liam, I’ve missed you so much, so has Lux.” The women exclaimed throwing her arm around Liam who took the little girl from the women. The little girl buried her head into Liam’s neck and put her little arms around his neck. "Uncle Liam!" The little girl giggled It was such a cute scene, he was so good with her.  “Sorry, where are my manners!” the women exclaimed. “I’m Lou and this little rascal is Lux, my daughter.” She said poking Lux making her giggle cheerfully.

“Oh I’m Rebecca.” I said. “Oh, my dear I know Liam told me all about you, about how you need some clothes.” Lou said smiling cheerfully at me, “Well come on in, let’s get you some new clothes shall we!” she said opening the door, I followed behind her, I thought Liam flat was nice, Lou’s house was beautiful. She led me down a long hallway, I looked behind me Liam was no longer there. I glanced at the walls which were filled with photos of Lou, Lux, a man probably Lou’s husband, Liam, Harry and 3 other boys who looked kind of familiar but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.  I hadn’t noticed that Lou had stopped, I nearly walked into her. “Oh… sorry” I mumbled looking down, “It fine dear, this is my room.” She said opening the door to reveal a large bedroom, with glass doors overlooking a large garden, there was a massive comfy looking bed in the middle of the room, more photos on the walls and piles of makeup and what i guessed was hair products piled up in boxes in the corner.

"Come on in." she said leading me through another door, into a room nearly the same size as the bedroom. "This is my wardrobe." she said putting her arms in the air, my mouth fell open, it was like a huge store in here, one wall was filled of with handbags, another one with shelves shoes , another wall with casuel clothes and the last 3/4 filled with formal dresses and 1/4 with men's clothes and 3 pairs of shoes. "My husband doesn't like shopping as much as me." she laughed noticng me looking. "So take a seat over there." she said pointing to a small sofa beside the handbag shelf wall. I sat down and got comfy as i watched Lou rush around the room throwing clothes over one arm, saying things like "This one is the one and perfect!" Every so often. I smiled at the women who went into a different world around clothes. "What size are your feet?" She asked, "Huh, oh a 5." I said, not really knowing, I haven't had a new pair of shoes in years. "Brilliant!" she exclaimed, throwing the huge pile of clothes on the floor and rushing over to the shoes shelf, grabbing pair after pair of shoes.

"Okay, I think we're done." she said finally. "Right lets get you ready."

Lou clapped her hands. She pulled an outfit out of the huge pile of clothes. "You can wear this and take the rest home with you." All of these clothes mine?

" I can't take all of this!" I exclaimed.

"No, no,no, of course not. I'll get you some bags to put it in and Liam can carry the rest for you. Of course you can keep it all sweetie, I have too many clothes anyway." She handed me the outfit. "Now go get changed in  there and when you're done, we can do your hair and makeup." She pushed me back  into the wardrobe. I put the outfit on, it was a simple red checked shirt and pair of demin skinny jeans and a pair of red converse.I walked out.

"You look amazing!" Lou gasped when she saw me. She sat me down on a chair in front of a large mirror, she grabbed a lot of stuff out of boxes, I couldn't name any of it except for a pair of scissors and a hairbrush. I held my breath, closed my eyes and listened to the snip, snip of the scissors. I rememebered when my mum tried to cut my hair, it turned out so bad that I still had to go to the hairdresssers to get it fixed. It took years to grow back properly.

"Done." Lou sang, it looked amazing. "Now for the fun bit." she exclaimed, turning some music up loud. It was some song that i didn't know, by some artist I have never heard of. But the song was good. She started to straighten my hair as she sang along to the song,

 "You don't understand, you don't understand
What you do to me when you hold his hand.
We were meant to be but a twist of fate
Made it so we had to walk away.

'Cause we're on fire.
We are on fire.
We're on fire now.
Yeah, we're on fire.
We are on fire.
We're on fire now.

(One, two, three)

I don't care what people say when we're together.
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep.
I just want it to be you and I forever.
I know you wanna leave.
So come on baby be with me
So happily.

It's four A.M. and I know that you're with him.
I wonder if he knows that I've touched your skin.
And if he feels my traces in your hair
I'm sorry, love, but I don't really care.

'Cause we're on fire.
We are on fire.
We're on fire now.
Yeah, we're on fire.
We are on fire.
We're on fire now.

(One, two, three)

I don't care what people say when we're together.
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep.
I just want it to be you and I forever.
I know you wanna leave.
So come on baby be with me
So happily.

So happily.
(One, two, three, four!)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
We're on fire now.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
We're on fire now (we're on fire)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
We're on fire now.

I don't care what people say when we're together.
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep.
I just want it to be you and I forever.
I know you wanna leave.
So come on baby be with me
So happily.

I don't care what people say when we're together.
You know I wanna be the one to hold you when you sleep.
I just want it to be you and I forever.
I know you wanna leave.
So come on baby be with me
So happily. "

After 20 minutes and 6 songs later, she had finished my hair. It looked amazing, it fell down acroos my shoulders with two simple braids at the side of my head. "It's so beautiful Lou, thank you so much." I whispered.

"No problem sweetheart, now its makeup time." she replied, turning the music down. She applied item after item to my face, telling me how to do everything. I hung on to every word. "Finished!" She smiled. Wow I looked incredible, better than i have ever looked.

"Thank you so much Lou!" I threw my arms around the tall girl. She huuged me back

"Don't worry about it love." She let go of me and reached under the bed and pulled two suitcases out from it, and started putting the clothes, makeup and hair products inside them. I opened my mouth to protest. "No its my gift to you, keep it all." She said zipping up the bag.
