~ In Love With The Competition ~ A George Shelley Love Story ~

Chapter 1

Lacey's POV 

 I ran as fast as my feet would carry me.

Which was quite hard seeing as I had about 7 shopping bags loaded with clothes.

As soon as I got to my house, I flung the door open, closed it and collapsed on the floor.

Crazy fangirls, I thought to myself. One day, just one, I wanted to have a normal day out without somebody asking for my signature or a photo or shouting "OMG! IT'S LACEY SMITH!!!" Don't get me wrong, I love my fans and everything but sometimes they're just a bit much, you know?

When I was able to, I stood up, brushed myself down, picked up my bags and headed upstairs to finish packing. No one was in the house so I assumed my parents were working.I reached my bedroom and began working.

I was leaving for London in one day, for the X Factor, and wasn't finished packing yet! Trust me to do something like that!

It's almost a 7 hour trip from Paisley to London and let me tell you, I was not looking forward to it...

A short car ride to the train station, not one, but two  train rides and a loooooong taxi ride to the contestants house.

At least I knew Ella and Lucy would be there and I wouldn't be alone.Those girls were the nicest people you could meet and we had become really good friends at the Judges houses and kept in touch. Just thinking about the competition gave me butterflies in my stomach! I was soooo excited! Who would've thought, me, a normal girl from Scotland, would make it to the Live Shows on one of the biggest shows in the world?!

Not me anyways.

About 2 hours later I was finally done packing! I had two suitcases, two carry on bags, my guitar case and a toiletry/make-up bag! I'm gonna be tired tomorrow... 

I heard the door unlock and open, signalling that my mum or dad was home, "Lacey? Are you in ,honey?" Yep, my mum, "Yeah mum I'm upstairs!" I shouted back.

I heard her footsteps on the stairs and she appeared at my doorway, eyes a bit watery.

"Awwww mum, don't cry! It's not gonna be forever." I said to her, and went to give her a hug, " I know sweetheart, but I'm gonna miss you so much-" She replied, her voice cracking at the end.

After a long hug we finally pulled back and my mum sniffed, " I'm gonna make dinner now. Anything you want?" She asked, " Ehhhhhmmm, I think I'll just have a sandwich thanks." I said. I wasn't that hungry because I felt like the butterflies in my stomach would just bring the food back up again.....

After checking everything in my bags and hauling them downstairs I decided to go to bed. I walked into the living room to say goodnight to my parents and gave them loooong hugs.

I was tossing and turning for most of the night, but after a while everything went blank and I slept like a brick.
