H.O.P.E (hold on, pain ends)

Flight to London

Cassie's Dads P.O.V

Cass is doing a lot better for the past few days, ever since she starting hanging out with niall she started to live life like a normal person. She even ocassionally laughed at my jokes, which was something I never thought Cassie would do. I was so glad my daughter isn't under too much depression. It really hurts me to watch my baby girl in so much pain.

Every day after school instead of her running upstairs to lock herself in her room to do who knows what, and only coming down to take a few sips of water. She would hang out with Niall in the living room. Niall is a great kid, I can't thank him enough for the things he has done for my daughter. He would teach Cassie to play the guitar, they would sing together (and they sound great together!) even occasionally help each other on their homework.

Not only did Cass' life open up with hope, so did mine. I can't express how happy I am for Cass.

Cassie's P.O.V

"hey dad, we're leaving tomorrow morning. Maybe you should start....ya know...packing?" My dad gave me a stressed smile, "I'll get to it sweetheart, don't worry."

DING DONG. the doorbell rung. "oh, that must be niall. i'll get it."

I ran to the front door, and of course when i opened the door there stood the beautiful blonde boy with the most beautiful blue eyes that adored fried chicken; Niall. I was waiting all afternoon to see him.

"Hello Casssie!" I smiled, his accent was so cute. "hey nialler." He walked in my house and gave an awkward half-wave to my dad. "How are you Mr.Wilson?" Niall looked awfully uncomfortable. My dad looked up at Niall with a grateful look, "I'm doing great, thanks man."

Oh no no no, i absolutely hate it when my dad tries to talk "cool" around my friends. Not that I had any, really....Niall is the only true friend i ever had.

"yeah, dad me and niall got to go ya know practice for the audition tomorrow." Niall gave me a relieved look and a half smile, I knew he didn't want to be stuck with my dad discussing awkward things.

***6 hours later***

"oh my gosh its so late. its already 12:20 AM." Niall was lying on the couch, he yawned. "i guess i better go home now, night' cass."

"nighty night niall." I opened the door for him, I expected him to just walk out, but instead he did something I was not expecting AT ALL. he gave me a warm hug, and not the bear hug but more of a tight romantic embrace, followed by a peck on the cheek. I was actually really shocked but happy at the same time, I didn't want to show my true emotions, so I just smiled and waved goodbye.

*tomorrow morning*

I'm the kind of person that can't wake up by an alarm clock. I needed an actual person to tell me to get up. So when the alarm clock went off at 5 AM I didn't even budge. Not until my dad started yelling from downstairs...

"CASS? WAKE UP....DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE LATE FOR THE X FACTOR AUDITIONS? I DONT THINK SO...."

I jolted right up and sat on my bed, rubbing my eyes. I wanted to just close my eyes and fall asleep again but then i rembered today was the day of the auditions. I was so so excited! I smiled to myself and got up and walked to the bathroom to freshen up.

I looked in the mirror, woah-I was absolutely disgusting! "boy, am i a mess or what?!" I had a lot to do if i wanted to look presentable, after all, people all of over Great Britain will be seeing me perform tonight. I had to look my very best, make a good impression.

I decided to wear a simple hollister tank with a hoodie that says "LOVE PINK" on the back, and a pair of white jeans, but nothing completes my look without a pair of lime green high-top converse! I would change into my more "presentable" clothes when we arrive in London.
