Chapter Twenty Nine

3rd Person POV

Tonight is the Christmas Ball. Tonight all differences are put aside to enjoy a night where you're dressed, and treated like a princess. But tonight, choices will be made, and flights will be taken back home. Who will be going home solo? Who will be going home with a smile on their face?

LIA'S POV

"PANDA!! Getcho ass in here! We gotta get ready!" I caled out to Amanda who was in the kitchen getting food and drinks. We were all in a HUGE hotel room, thanks to Dani and Perrie. Perrie and Dani were setting up the makeup corner, Taylor was setting up the music, Caitlyn and I were setting up the hair corner while Amanda was getting snacks and drinks.

"Turn the music up, Tay!" Dani hollers at Taylor. "Got it!" Taylor says and One More Night by Maroon 5 starts playing. Hell yeah, this is my jam. I stand up and hear Amanda singing loudly. I chuckle, thanks to me, she knows this song. "Baby there you go again, there you go again, making me love you oooh!" I sing, on key. I feel accomplished. Perrie walks over and pauses the song. "Awh, Per!" I say trying out my nickname for her. "Per?" She asks, puttin one hand on her hip. I nod with a smile, "Pronounced like 'pair'." "Eh. It works. Okay, So we need to figure out a system!" She claps her hands together. A system. Great. "No we don't." Dani says and at that moment, there is a knock on the door.

I wonder who that could be. "Ladies, meet the hair and makeup team I have assembled for us!" Dani squeals opening the door. The four of us exchange looks and shrug. "Works for me! Thanks Dani!" Taylor says with a smile. The group comes in and two go to the makeup corner, while two go to the hair corner, and two more go to a different corner. I glance over to the mystery corner to see them pulling out accessories. Ohh. Alright lets get started. I look at the clock: 3pm. We have to be ready to go by 5pm. Dinner with the lads is at 5:30 and the Ball starts at 7pm.

"Lets go! Its 3pm and we have to be ready by 5!" I clap my hands together and run to the hair corner, Amanda right behind me. "Hello dears. Lets see what your dresses look like." Two people appear with our dresses. I point at my blue one and Amanda points at the red one. "Alright. I'm thinking updo for you and half up, half down for you." He points at me then at Amanda. We both nod, and the hair people begin their work.

I look in the mirror and smile at Amanda, who gives me a goofy look. I laugh and I'm hit on the head. "HEY!" I shoot the hairdresser a dirty look. "No moving. Or I will hit your head again." Jeez. Yes sir. I almost saluted him but something in his eyes told me not to. OW! I look at the hairstylist and he smirks. He just pulled my hair on purpose.
