I'm Here to Fix You

I Do

Chapter 3: I Do 

(don't worry no one's getting married.. yet haha) 

Darcy's P.O.V.

Imagine drinking the most delicious milkshake ever, then you started drinking it up fast and then the next thing you know you're lying down on the ground punching your head and screaming "BRAIN FREEZE!" while looking like an idiot.

Well if you imagined that well, congratulations! That's how crazy Gavin, Alex and I looked right now. 

The doorbell kept on ringing while we were half laughing and half screaming on the floor. Finally Gavin acted like an older brother and got the door.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Who else would it be?" my brother sarcastically replied.

"Is it One Direction?" Alex said enthusiastically while jumping up and down.

"What in the world is One Direction?" I looked at her totally confused.

"Darcy!" she shot me a disgraced look, "They are not a what, don't you know them? They just won third place at the latest season of X Factor! And now they're moving to London! Gosh Darcy they're all so gorgeous!" my sister started blabbering and blabbering.

I regretted asking her who in the world One Direction is. I looked at Gavin to see if he could explain why Alex goes goo goo over what direction? Oh.. One Direction.

"Well since you were away the finals of X Factor happened. Lots of teenage girls are shouting 1D! 1D! 1D! But sadly they only got third place," my brother replied.

"They're still amazing Darcy! You should hear them sing! Who cares if they're only third? I am totally in love with them," Alex's eyes looked oh so dreamy as if she found the love of her life. 

Thank God, Mom and Dad arrived in the kitchen and soon Alex started to shut up.

"Darcy! You're back!" my mom cried.

"Look how big you've grown!" my dad commented.

I hugged them both, I didn't know I missed my parents so so much. "Dad, it was just like two weeks!" I smiled.

After all the hugging, we all sat down at the table to have the Talk. "We have surprises for each of you! Close your eyes," my parents said in unison.

Of course I closed my eyes. I think Gavin got his surprise first because I heard him screaming "Wow Mom! A new skateboard! You serious? Dad, new headphones? I love you both!" Then I heard him running up the stairs and heard the door of his room shut. Good for him.

I was next.

"Open your eyes Darcy!" my mom said and before me I saw a shopping bag from Aeropostale, Keds and wait.. shit! One from Forever 21! "I love you both! You're the best parents in the world!" I cried out loud.

While looking through the shopping bags, Alex was getting her surprise. I got new fire red Keds, a new blue varsity jacket with a D on it and.. my thoughts were interrupted by Alex's loud screams..

"Mom! Dad! Oh My God! Oh My God! It can't be! 2 front seat tickets to One Direction's first ever concert here in London!! OH MY GOSH!" she continued screaming and screaming.

I covered my ears, this was too much! I was enjoying my surprise. I was enjoying the moment. Until Alex started screaming like a retard. Gosh she's too obsessed with the so-called One Direction!

I ran up the stairs, into my room and shut the door but I could still hear her screaming! So immature. I took my iPod and put in on shuffle, the song Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift filled my ears..

Good I couldn't hear Alex's screaming anymore.. just Taylor's sweet voice. I have to admit that I'm obsessed with her. I reached for the last shopping bag I haven't ventured in, the Forever 21 one.

As I opened it... "Shit. This is impossible!" I stared speechless at the white and blue floral dress that I was holding. It was perfect!

Then there's this adorable jumper in the other one. God, I love my parents. I tried my new clothes on and I have to admit I kinda looked cute in both.

Well nobody thinks I'm cute in school. I'm more of the quiet, shy, boyish, geekish, low-profile kind of girl. I could name my friends easily, Emma Lane and Bella Chase.

The ever so popular kind of girls like Faye Parker and her two dummies, Rosy Diamond and Thalia Sparks, who followed her everywhere are the ones who catches the eyes of the hot flaming hot guys.

Well I think Thalia and Rosy are nice people, they were nice to me once but it's when they're not with Faye. I could really be good friends with them if not for Faye.

Faye's rich and beautiful, all the stuff that I'm not. She's that dumb blonde sort of person. I'm good at sports like football, volleyball, gymnastics and swimming which leads to being part of varsities. I'm also called Ms. Know-It-All by almost.. umm.. everyone?

Yeah.. really not your popular girl...

I stared at my reflection, long brown messy brown hair, chocolate brown eyes, small mouth, smooth skin, right height for a sixteen-year-old and my friends tell me that I'm beautiful.. yeah right, get your eyes checked and make sure you aren't drunk when you said that.

I lost track of time and I heard my sister laughing at the background.

"Done admiring yourself Darcy? You look prettier now, believe me." she said trying not to laugh.

"How long have you been standing there?!" I asked angrily.

"Umm.. about 10 minutes?" she smirked.

"Gosh! Alex you're annoying! What do you want?"

"Nothing. Just this." She flashed 2 front row tickets to that One Direction concert, she was blabbering about.

"What would I want to do with that?" I asked.

"It's a once in a lifetime chance! Come with me! Mom's too busy and Dad too and Gavin wouldn't want to come! Please!" she begged while on her knees. My sister begging? Is this true? I took the opportunity.

"Only on one condition." I smirked.

"What condition?"

"You make me milkshakes everyday for a month." I answered.

"Gavin's right for calling you a princess with a huge appetite!" she stuck her tongue out.

"So when's the concert?" I changed the topic.

"Wait is this a deal?"

"Yeah, yeah it's a deal."

"Then it's this Friday. No take backs."

"What? Why this Friday?"

"I don't know! I'm not their manager! How should I know?" she sarcastically replied.

"But Alex I have a football match that afternoon!" I complained.

"Well a deal's a deal Darcy! You're going with me to that concert this Friday and you're wearing that new dress. So that I'll go there with someone decent," she retorted and ran off.

"You take that back Alex!" I started running for her.

We circled the whole house and ended at our backyard. Ohh how many times I almost tripped and could possibly fall that would damage the dress. I caught her.

"So what you going to do now?" she playfully asked.

"Gahh! Alex! You're too annoying!" I just remembered I can't hurt a 9-year-old.

"Don't worry I'm sure your team's going to find a new striker before Friday! Anyways they can let Faye play."

"Faye doesn't know how to kick a ball, Alex." I reminded her.

"Well, let's see the concert's at 7 what time's your game?"

"It's early as 4 pm can't I go?" Now I'm the one begging. What the? I'm begging permission from a 9-year-old? I should really fix my life.

"Yeah, yeah you can do first half but after that you'll come home to take a shower then to the salon with Mum and me!" she shouted before running back to the house.

I can't believe I'm forced to go to a concert to watch people I don't even know! Who in the world is what Direction? Ohh.. yeah.. how could I possibly forget.. One Direction.. I finally decided to doze off in the lawn chair.
