Chapter 53
4 weeks later…
Ally's P.O.V
"Al what about this one?" said Tia. I turned around to look at the blue sequined dress she was holding in front of me and shook my head. "Why not?" she moaned.
"I dunno it just doesn't seem like the right kind of dress to wear to something as huge as this!" I sighed. She stuffed the dress back onto the rack and then we continued to walk around the store.
It was Thursday night, and I still needed to get my dress for the album release party tomorrow night. Which I happened to be debuting my new single with Ed Sheeran at. The nerves spread across my body as I thought about it. I was so incredibly nervous it wasn't funny. I could hardly even concentrate on school. So to distract myself from the nerves, I had pulled Tia out to go shopping to find the perfect dress. And I was determined to look amazing.
We passed a group of girls who looked a few years younger than us. They beamed at us as we walked through the store. Tia and I both waved at them. One of the girls came rushing up to us.
"Hi guys!" she squealed.
"Hey babe." I smiled. "How are you girls tonight?" I asked as the other two girls rushed up to stand next to the other girl. All three of them clung on to each other's arms as we talked to them.
"We're good." They all said in unison. "How are you guys?"
"We're fantastic." said Tia. "We're finding outfits to wear for the album release party tomorrow."
"Oh, that's amazing." said the smallest of the girls. She had shiny blonde hair and had green eyes that were covered by a small pair of square glasses. "Do you know what you want to wear yet?"
"Well a dress of some sort." I laughed. All of the girls giggled.
"We could help you find the perfect dress if you want!" one of the girls blurted out.
I looked at Tia and she smiled. "Well we could really use some help." She said.
"Are you serious?" the brown haired girl gaped.
"Yeah that would actually be really great." I smiled widely at them.
The girls turned to each other and let out quiet, yet still loud, fangirl screams. Tia and I smiled at each other. Knowing you were what made them react like this was the best feeling ever. I absolutely loved being with the fans.
"Right!" announced Tia, snapping them out of their fangirl session. "Let's get started! Ally and I are both size 7's so if you see anything you think we might like that's in our size, come and find us okay?"
"Okay!" they all squealed.
Then they hurried off around the store looking intently for a dress. Tia and I both laughed and then went searching as well.
"Nope…" I said while I searched through the racks. "Nope… nope… nope…"
"I gotta find something that will highlight my baby bump." said Tia. "I kind of want to pull a Natalie Portman for this party you know?"
I laughed as I kept searching through the dresses. "I think I found the perfect thing…"
I pulled a baby pink, long, fitted dress out of the rack. Tia's face lit up as I showed it to her.
"You are a dead set legend." She smiled widely. She grabbed the dress from my grasp and hurried off to the change rooms. "I'll see you in a sec!"
I smiled and then decided to walk over to the side of the store I had not checked out yet. I spotted the three girls a few metres away, hurrying around the store trying to find something.
I looked from dress to dress and moved from rack to rack, searching desperately for the perfect dress. We had been walking around London for the past two hours, and negative thoughts were now starting to fly around my mind.
I felt my phone vibrate in my jeans pocket.
Come to the dressing rooms – Tia xx
I shoved my phone into my bag and then walked across the store and then to the changing rooms. People who were waiting to change gave me shocked looks as I approached them. I just gave them my best awkward smile before calling out Tia's name.
"Ti which one are you in?" I called out.
"This one." I saw a foot peek out from underneath one of the door.
I walked past the people waiting and walked over to the change room. Tia opened the door and I felt my jaw drop as low as it possibly could.
She looked stunning. The baby pink dress brought out a beautiful colour to her skin. It was tightly fitted and draped once it got past her baby bump. It was a halter neck and showed a little bit of cleavage. Louis would go weak at the knees when he saw her.
"Holy shit." I beamed.
"You like it?" she asked, a half-smile spread across her face.
"Like is an understatement." I laughed. "You look incredible."
"Thanks." She giggled. "I think this is the one."
"I think it is too." I said, still eying her perfect figure. It was hard to believe she was pregnant sometimes.
"Ally?" a voice said behind me.
I turned around to see the small, blonde girl with glasses smiling up at me. "Hey! You found something?" I asked.
"We sure did!" the brown haired girl smiled. "Here…"
Then the quietest of the lot, a girl with slick black hair, came up and handed me a dress. I smiled widely at her, letting her know she had done superbly. I gave all three of the girls a high five and then hurried into the dressing room to try it on.
I slipped off my jeans and my long sleeved shirt and excitedly got changed into the dress. I did up the zipper and then straightened up the bottom as I surveyed it in the mirror. It was a short, grass green dress. It had no sleeves but was turtle necked, and flowed once it came past the waist. With some gold jewellery, the outfit was going to look amazing. The thing I loved most about it was that it was so 'me'. I wasn't into the whole elegant and classy clothes; I was more of the cutesy and sassy style. So this was perfect for me.
"Kay I'm coming out!" I called out to the girls.
"Okay!" they all said excitedly.
Then I opened the door to see all of them with huge smiles on their faces, waiting for me to show them what it looked like. All of their mouths formed an O once they got the full look at the dress.
Tia turned to the black haired girl and patted her on the back. "You did extremely well, my friend." The girl let out a tiny scream. "You look beautiful Al. You're going to knock Liam off his feet."
I looked at the girls and smiled. Suddenly I had an idea.
"Hey girls…" I said, gesturing for them to come closer to me. The three of them huddled closer to me so they could just hear what I was saying. "Listen, thank you so much for taking up your free time to do this for me."
"No worries!"
"The pleasure was ours!"
I smiled. "Well I do have one way to repay you…"
Their faces lit up with excitement. "Really?"
"Really…" I said. "Just give me one second."
I grabbed my phone out of my bag that was hanging on the dressing room wall and scrolled down my contacts list until I found the number I wanted. I held it to my ear and waited for someone to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Hey Harry!" I exclaimed, putting the phone on loudspeaker.
The girls jumped up and down excitedly and I saw tears come to their eyes.
"Hey Al." he said. "What's with all the screaming in the background?"
"Well Harold, I've got three lovely girls here who have just done a massive favour for me, and well I was wondering if you could help me repay them?"
"Sure!" he said. "Let me guess… three tickets to the album release party tomorrow?"
"That's what I was hoping for." I smiled as I watched the girls have a panic attack.
"Hang on, let me just go ask the boys if we have spares…"
"Oh my god." said the brown haired girl, fighting through her shaky tears.
"Boys!" I heard Harry shout. "Do we have spare tickets for tomorrow?"
I heard someone pick up from the other line. "Hello?"
"NIALL!" the blonde girl screamed. Niall was obviously her favourite.
"Hello who's this?" he asked.
"Hey Nialler it's me." I laughed. "I've got some fans here with me who deserve some tickets for tomorrow."
"Not a problem at all." said Niall.
"We'll get our manager to meet you out the front with them at around six tomorrow, okay? But you have to bring parental supervision okay! Louis doesn't count…" said Harry.
We all laughed. "Thank you! Thank you!" the girls squealed.
"No worries girls." said Niall.
"We'll see you tomorrow!" said Harry cheekily.
"I love you!" they all screamed in unison.
"Love you too." said Harry and Niall before hanging up the phone.
All three of the girls fell onto the floor and began to cry their eyes out. I caught sight of Tia, who frankly looked a little shocked. She placed her hand on her heart and smiled at me.
Tomorrow was definitely going to be a night to remember.
