Disclaimer: I own everything, the world is mine, mwahahahahaaaa. Oh, except McFly. Shame, isn't it? Although I suspect I'll have one of them veeery soon evil plan forming.. I was like, an inch away from cathing Dougie's towel on Saturday, so if I had longer arms I would own that. But I don't. still pissed off about that ANYWAY. On with the stroy.
With that I left the room, heading to the nearest bathroom to sit down and wonder what to do now. And to think, I had started off today in a good mood.
I sat on the floor by the sinks, hoping for no one to walk in on me in this state when my mobile rang, making me jump. I sighed with relief as I saw the caller display read 'Sophia', finally someone I could talk to about this mess.
"Soph! You would not believe the day I'm havi-"
I stopped, realising the stressed tones of my friends' voice. Sophia is an actress on a soap, and although she is one of the most down to earth actresses I have ever met she has the tendency to occasionally be a drama queen. We met when she came to do an interview at the magazine. It was her first interview, and my first day, so we ended up bonding over nerves and have been best friends ever since. Tonight was her birthday party, which she had been stressing over for weeks.
"Jenna! I'm so sorry! I can't come and get ready at yours tonight, can I meet you there? We have to do extra scenes so I'll be kept back and my dress isn't back from the dry cleaners yet and I still don't know if the venue will be big enough and if I've forgotten anyone from the invites list and I'm so scared if people won't like it or- "
The trick with Sofia is to stop her before she gets into her stride. She organises the most amazing parties and this one was destined to be no different.
"Sophia, calm down. If your dress isn't back in time, use a different one. Of course the venue will be big enough, you rented out the entire club for Christ's sake! Anyone you've forgotten obviously can't be that important and if people don't like it, who cares? It's your night. Stop stressing. Anyway, I want to meet your mystery man."
The ultimate weapon to calm Sophia down with, her boyfriend. She was totally and utterly in love. I'd heard random bits about him, but never met him. With Sofia's job being so hectic and time consuming we hadn't had a chance to catch up in at least a month; one of the reasons I was looking forwards to tonight.
"Oh my god! Jenna! You just reminded me, he's bringing his friends and-"
"They'll all think you're an amazing person and perfect for each other, stop panicking!"
"No, I'm not just stressing like usual, this is serious Jenna, he-"
"Why don't you tell me later tonight, okay? You're going to have a fab time later, and I can't wait to see you. Love you, bye."
I hung up the phone before she could reply. I love Sophia with all my heart, but sometimes she really does worry too much.
I felt better knowing I would see Sophia tonight and that by now McFly would be occupied by their photoshoot so I didn't have to worry about bumping into Danny on the way out. Waving goodbye to the receptionist, I hurried out of the building and hailed a cab to take me back to my flat.
If I may say so myself, I think I looked pretty awesome. My light brown hair, which was usually just shoved back, was straightened perfectly so the short, choppy layers framed my face. My dress was a dark green, making my skin look tanned and my eyes stand out. The top was fitted, emphasising my hips and the skirt reached just above the knee. With my brand new silver heels and clutch, I was dressed to impress. All thoughts of the disaster earlier today has disappeared as I hailed a cab to take me to the club the party was at. It seemed to take forever to get there, the club was ages away from my flat in the first place (I would stay at Sophia's tonight, because her place was closer) and the traffic was terrible. I spent the journey wondering if I had made the right decision with Danny; I missed him so much, should I have listened to his explanation? Would I ever get another chance to listen to him? Had I just ruined my only chance of reuniting with my bestfriend?
By the time I had gotten there, the party was in full swing. I hoped Sophia wasn't anxious about my late arrival and enjoying herself as I showed security my invite and walked through the doors.
Unable to see her through the masses of dancing people, I made my way over to the bar. There she was, surrounded by a group of well-wishers looking stunning as usual. She noticed me, and totally blanking everyone that had just been talking to her, ran over to where I was stood.
"Soph! Happy Birthday hun!"
"Thanks! Listen, I need to tell you what I was trying to tell you earlier about-"
At this point, four guys walked up behind Sophia, the shortest putting his arm around her waist, making her jump. She went red and looked to her feet.
"Jenna, this is my new boyfriend Dougie, and his bandmates Harry, Tom and.. and Danny."
Bit short I know.. more of just a filler chapter, tbh..
Ah well. Next one will be better. (
Now, yet another begging McFly style, to the tune of One For The Radio:
So here's another chap for my fan fic,
Please send me some reviews from the heart,
Even if you hate it
Or just read along,
We all look the same in the dark.
Oh yeah.
Begging McFly style is fun.
(
Oh, and yay to koolage for being the first reviewer on this story..
