The Heartbreak Factor - Part One

Chapter Twelve.

After mum and Michael had gone to bed, exhausted from walking around London all day, Chloe and I laid on my bed, flicking through magazines and watching crap on my laptop. Unexpectedly, there was a knock at the hotel room door. As I went to answer it to see who it was, I looked at how ridiculous I looked wearing my cow onesie in the mirror. Laughing to myself, I opened the hotel room door and saw George, Josh, Jaymi and JJ stood in the corridor, looking right back at me with identical smirks on their faces. “What?” I asked.

“Shouldn’t it be moo?” Jaymi laughed.

“Sorry, moo,” I joked.

“That’s better,” Jaymi grinned.

“Anyway, most of us are having a game of truth or dare in the rehearsal suite if you wanna come and bring Chloe too?” Josh smiled.

“Josh, do you have a crush on Chloe?” I grinned.

“No,” he shrugged, starting to turn red as if he was blushing.

“Okay, well we’ll get changed and be down in a bit,” I smiled.

“Just come in your onesie,” JJ laughed. “Well that’s if you’re in the onesie moo-d.”

“JJ, you’re not funny, okay?” I said.

As I turned around to see if Chloe wanted to go, I was shocked to find her stood right behind me, rearing to go to the rehearsal suite. “Come on,” she grinned, looking at Josh with a determined look on her face.

Walking down the corridor towards the rehearsals suite, I felt something on my back. “As if, it even has a cow tail,” JJ laughed as he kept hitting the tail that was attached to the back of my onesie, making it flop about, which made him laugh even more - just like a little child.

“Elle is one lucky girl if you treat her like that,” I grinned. “Especially if you laugh like that to her, JJ.”

“Oh, I think I’m the lucky one actually,” JJ grinned shyly.

“You go all cute when she’s mentioned,” Jaymi laughed.

As we got to the rehearsal suite and walked in, District 3, Mk1, Lucy and Rylan were already inside waiting. “Meet Chloe, she’s Sammy’s friend,” Josh grinned as we sat down around the coffee table.

“Alright Chloe, I’m Lucy – Sammy’s roommate,” Lucy smiled, holding out her hand for Chloe to shake.

“Hey,” Chloe smiled, shaking her hand.

“This is Rylan,” Lucy smiled, pointing to Rylan who did a little wave.

“Hey,” Chloe said.

“This is Greg, Micky and Dan,” Lucy said. “Then this is Charlie and Sim, and then you already know the lovely Union J boys and Sammy.”

After all the introductions, we prepared for business – and by business I mean truth or dare. “Who’s going first then?” Rylan asked, spinning the bottle to see whose go it was.

Since it landed on Dan, he leant over and spun the bottle in the middle of the coffee table to find out who would be thinking of his truth or dare. It landed on Charlie. “Daniel,” she laughed. “Truth or dare.”

“Truth,” he smiled, seeming quite relaxed and laid back.

“Out of all the contestants in this year’s X Factor, who would you date?” Charlie grinned.

“Sammy,” he said without any hesitation.

“Oh, Dan, I’m heartbroken,” Rylan joked.

Although I didn’t look back at him, I could tell George was looking at me. Charlie spun the bottle to see who would ask her truth or dare. It landed on Lucy. “Truth,” Charlie laughed.
