It's been a full day since I uploaded that video and it blew the fuck up. Everyone's been commenting telling me that they are so happy, the others are saying I should've kept it a secret but honestly it's a massive weight off of my shoulders. I am currently in the living room, sitting on the couch in-between Vikk and Simon, while Josh and Jide sit on the floor, "have you told her yet?" Vikk nudged Jide with his foot, earning a groan from JJ as his foot made contact.
"Not yet but thank you Vikk," I can hear the sarcasms laced in his voice, I glance at Simon who's sitting looking at me, trying to not smile.
"What's going on?" I began to worry, I hate it when Jide does this, he'll tell me there's something for me or something we're doing and he knows it makes me freak out.
"We have a surprise for you, but we need to go get it," Josh turns round and looks at me, grinning from ear to ear. The boys start to laugh and honestly it freaks me the fuck out.
"Go get ready, make yourself pretty," Jide winks at me, "screw you," I laughed and nudged his shoulder, getting up I head upstairs and change into a pair of black jeans and of course, a pink sidemen hoodie, honestly these are the comfiest things I've ever worn (I can vouch for that, I have the purple one. Highly recommend 10/10 would buy again) I put on slight makeup, not wanting to overdo it. I head downstairs to where the four boys are waiting for me at the bottom, each of them with a smug grin plastered on their faces, makes me uncomfortable.
"I'm scared," I mumble to Simon, he looks down at me and chuckles softly, "don't be, now c'mon." We all head out to Simon's car, "shotgun!" I shout, the other boys groaning in disappointment and we head off to wherever it is we are going.
We have been on the road for a while, we're now basically in central London and I am so confused, why would Simon willingly drive in London, where's the logic.
"Would you ever make a distrack Millie?" I turn to look at Jide, honestly thinking, "yes," I smile, Jide raising his eyebrows, about to speak but Vik beats him to it, "who on?" Vik asks, knowing who I'm going to say.
"JJ obviously," I laugh and I hear Simon laugh from next to me, I turn to look at him and he glances over at me, causing me to smile. "What the fuck why?" Jide acts shocked, "why not, everyone else has done it so why wouldn't I. Get those views boy," I smirk and his jaw drops, soon turning into a pout he goes to say something but stops, defeated.
"She has a point," Josh adds making Jide turn to him and slap him playfully across the head. "Shut up, we're here." Simon says, turning into a parking lot.
Simon parks the car and we get out, we appear to be at some sort of car garage. Surely not, he can't be getting me a car. I turn to Jide and he has the biggest smile on his face, the biggest I think I've ever seen.
"No," I whisper, almost inaudible. We all get out the car and the boys surround me, eventually guiding me into the garage. "Jide c'mon, you haven't," I grab JJ's arm bringing him to me, he looks down at me and smiles softly this time, he brings me into a hug.
"I want to, you're my best friend and you deserve it." He mumbles into my hair, I pull away and look at him, my eyes filling with tears. "Nope, no crying today. Let's go see your car." Jide takes my hand and the other boys follow as we go towards a man, Jide talks to him for a minute and asked for the car they had reserved.
We are getting lead through a corridor towards the show room where MY car is, I will never get used to saying my car. "You ready?" Simon wraps an arm around my shoulders, giving me a tight squeeze, "honestly no," I laugh causing him to join in.
"You'll love it Millie, I'm actually quite jealous," Josh looks at me, he looks more exited than I do. We get to the show room and there's a car in the middle, with a cloth on it, my body starts to shake, I'm so nervous yet so excited at the same time.
"This is your new car," Jide says as the men pull off the cloth, I can't believe it. "You didn't," I whisper, at a complete loss for words. Right in front of me is a brand new, sports class, bright red, Audi TT.

For years I had been talking about getting one of these to Jide, we used to say we would both save up half and we would buy one together, but instead Jide bought me one. The other boys have their vlogging cameras out, since they can vlog me now and every single one of them got my reaction, I am shocked. I walk round the car, admiring the work, I look up at Jide who looks as happy as ever. "Thank you," I walk over to him and pull him into a hug and right on queue I start to cry, I just can't help it.
"Want to try it? Drive it home,"Jide hands me a set of keys, with one key ring on it, a picture of me and my mum. "That was Simons idea," Jide whispers to me, I look up at Simon and smile, hardly able to see him through my tears.
"So, let's go. We'll meet you guys back at the house." Jide ushers for me to get into the car, I open the door and once again I am amazed. I get in and adjust everything, Jide gets in the passenger and he looks at me, "ready?" He grins, I nod and start the engine which roars to life. The garage doors open and we are off.
I drive out of the garage and head towards the motorway, it's such a smooth drive, I've never enjoyed driving more in my life. "Let's see how fast you can go," Jide challenges me, getting his phone out he starts recording me as I pull onto the motorway. I glance over at him and smile at the camera before putting my foot down and moving up the gears, 60. 70. 80. 90. 100.
It could keep going up, Jide is screaming and cheering me on, but I pussy out and slow down, I don't want to ruin the car when I've just gotten it after all. We head off in the direction of the house.
"Honestly Jide I'm at a loss for words, thank you so much," we're driving up the drive way, which is so long as they live in the middle of no where.
"Millie don't thank me, you're my best friend and I'd do anything to see you happy," he smiles, reaching over, putting a hand on my shoulder.
"But I have to ask, what's going on with you and Simon?" My heart drops, what does he mean, am I in trouble? "What do you mean? Nothing happening between us," I am now stopped outside the house, "Amelia I see the way you two look at eachother, he likes you and you like him, I just don't want you getting hurt," he frowns slightly, I understand he doesn't want me getting hurt but I am sure that Simon doesn't like me, I know Jide isn't happy when he calls me by my full name.
"Listen JJ, Simon doesn't even like me okay? We're just friends," I smile slightly trying to reassure him, he thinks for a moment before getting out the car suddenly. I turn the car off and follow, "if he hurts you I'll kill him." He glances over at me, a serious look on his face, he catches my eye and smiles, "I'm kidding, but I won't be happy. You can do what you want but talk to me about it, okay?" He opens the front door for me and I nod, walking past him into the house.
Jide doesn't seem too happy about the whole Simon thing but he's not going to stop me, I'm sure Simon only sees me as a friend though so I'll get over it soon.
