I was so upset that Harry was going back to the UK, but I knew that he was happy being there with his family. I figured that with the boys being in England/Ireland, this would open up some 'girl time' for Allison and I. We could go shopping, get our nails done, and all that fun stuff. I told Ally this to try and cheer her up; it actually worked! We planned to go the next day, since today we were just hanging out around the house. Which, don't get me wrong, was fun!
*The next day*
I got outta bed, and walked into the kitchen. To my surprise, my brother was sitting at the table holding an envelope with my name on it. I tried to take it out of his hands, but he wouldn't give it up!
Me-" Max! Give me the stinkin' envelope!!!"
Max-" Oooooh! What's in it? Huh?!"
Me-"Well, hmm, I don't know because YOU won't give it to me!!!"
Sometimes, Max can be extremely annoying sometimes, but I love him. I went into the bathroom to take a shower, and when I came back into my room, the letter was sitting on my pillow. I noticed that, and how badly my room needed to be cleaned... I sat on the bed, wrapped in my towel, and opened it. I kept wondering who it was from: there was nothing on the front, to even give me the slightest hint. I then found out that it was from Anne. The two questions that were in my head: A. How did she mail a letter that quick? and B. How did she know my address?? Here's what the letter said:
Hello Lily,
It's Anne,Harry's mom. I just wanted to tell you how happy you have made Harry. I hardly ever see him smile this much, or that big. You have accomplished that! I don't know if you've found them yet, but I bought one-way tickets for you, Allison,and a parent to come and visit the boys and I. I hope to see you all soon!
Much love, Anne :)
I was thrilled to have recieved this letter! I set it down on top of my purse, and finished getting ready. I was almost done curling my hair, when my phone started ringing. I set down the curling iron, and bolted to my room. It was Haz. I answered the phone to a sleepy voice.
Me-" Hello?"
Harry-" Hello love. Just wanted to let you know that we have landed safely at the airport. I can't wait to come back and visit. I don't know when that will be though, and I hate it.
Me-" Yay! I'm glad you're safe! We will see each other soon, I know it!
Harry-" Really? Babe, it was good talking to you, but my phone is about to die and I don't want it to hang up on you."
Me-" Okay, I love you"
Harry-" I love you too!"
I was so happy to hear his voice. When I hung up, I saw the time. It was 11:22. Allison was supposed to be here at 11:45. Then we were headed to the mall.. With Max. That's not all that bad though. I slipped on my TOMS, and went to find Max. He wasn't in the kitchen, or the living room, or his bedroom. I was searching the house. Then I saw him out back playing fetch with the dog. I stepped on the porch to call to him and tell him that Ally would be here soon. 5 minutes later, Allison was knocking on the door. I don't know why she bothered to knock, when she could just walk in. This was pretty much her second home. When she got here, we left and went to the mall. On the way there, we had to decide what store we wanted to go in first. We chose Old Navy, since it was right near the door. Then we would hit up Hollister. (Getting some school clothes shopping done.) Allison and I both agreed that One Direction would make great models for the store, and they shoud be on the gift card! When we walked into Hollister, WMYB played. Ironic right? Of course we were dancing and singing along. Max was looking at us like we were idiots. Oh well..
We spent most of the day at the mall, then I remembered what Anne sent me. I needed to tell Allison. I told her when we were sitting in the pedicure chairs. I handed her the envelope. She started freaking out. I tried to contain my excitement, but that was kinda impossible. We had both wanted to go to visit the sites in London since we were young. And now we would get to tour the boys' hometowns. Ahh! Yay! I can't wait!
We continued walking through the mall, and I swear we heard probably about 6 One Direction songs. made the day even better! When One Thing was playing Harry texted me to let me know that his phone was charged. Whenever he texts me, he puts hearts at the end of the messages, which makes me feel special! After about 3 hours, we left the mall. We had about 12 bags all together. Can't wait to go home, to tell my mom about the plane tickets! Wonder what she will say?
