The Lucky One

Chapter 1

So... Timeless is coming to an end *sniffle* But I'm so in love with Julian I wanted to write another short story while working on my Will story too :-D so hopefully you all enjoy this one too. Let me know if the writing style is a bit weird? I've wanted to express both characters' POV, which I don't normally do :-)

Julian's POV

I sit quietly as all the other boys answer most of the questions. No one really says anything when I stay quiet, because Will, Trent, Jayden and Zach say a lot. I shouldn't say it like that, I love the guys - they're my brothers. But I know for a fact that I'm the quiet, perhaps less appreciated member of The Collective.

"So you've all heard about the competition we held?" Kyle asks.

"Yeah," Trent says with a grin. "We're super excited."

"Well, only one of you boys gets to take the lucky girl out," Jackie O adds.

"I feel like we're the lucky ones," Will points out - always the charmer - and Jackie O gives him an 'aw' look.

"We've got our winner on the phone. Are you there?" Kyle asks.

A squeal fills the radio room. "Yes, I'm here."

"Now, we have all of The Collective here, say hi." The girl does as she's asked, and we say hi back, making her scream again. "But the moment of truth, who are you going to pick for your date tonight?"

My guessing order goes Trent, Will, Jayden, Zach and then me. That's the way the popularity of us normally goes. It won't be me.

"Julian!" Comes the excited answer, and I'm pretty sure the reception here must be crap. She wouldn't say Julian. Maybe she got Julian and Jayden mixed up because they start with J.

"Julian De Vizio!" The girl screeches through the phone again.

I sit there, completely stunned.

"Oi Julz!" Someone whacks my arm.

"Oh sorry," I mumble, rubbing my arm.

"Julian, are you ready to go meet your date?" Jackie O asks sweetly.

"Yeah," I reply nervously. "Yeah, let's go."

We all walk downstairs and Jayden pushes me playfully. "Excited man?"

"She might be the love of your life," Zach whispers with a chuckle.

"Ignore them," Will says, rolling his eyes. He's always the voice of reason when we get out of hand.

"Just have fun," Trent adds, his arm around my shoulders.

"Boys, meet our lucky winner, Allie," Kyle says.

I hear a squeal, and a girl jumps about a little with her hands covering her face. Just as quick as it starts, she composes herself, and gives us a smile. Allie is a few inches shorter than me, with long wavy blonde hair, and grey blue eyes.

"Allie, meet your date for the night, Julian De Vizio," Jackie O introduces us.

She steps toward me, and I realise I've been standing like a stunned mullet. I quickly make a move and bring her in for a hug.

"Nice to meet you," I say politely, though it's kind of lame.

"You too," she replies, smiling widely, exposing perfectly straight, white teeth.

"Alright, let's get a picture and then you two can be on your way," a photographer says.
