Chapter 2 – A Rare Event

Caitlyn POV

Life is very stressful at home. My family is messed up. My parents are shouting and fighting at each other from the time I wake up till the time I go to sleep. The problem is that my dad has a very bad drug addiction and he also has diabetes. I hardly every talk to my dad because he is always out clubbing, fighting with my mum or nowhere to be found. I have a very close relationship with my mum, she is always there for me, she is such a loving and caring person and so selfless. I love her so much and I hate the way my dad is treating her and I have no idea where I would be without her. I have a brother, Jamie, and he 20 and you can say he is one of those "rebel" bad boy people – but just because he takes after his dad and comes come at 12 o' clock at night doesn't mean he is "bad." Jamie is a really nice brother, he is very loving and I can tell him anything and he gives me really good advice. I love him.

Even though my personal life is pretty screwed up, I live every day without regret thanks to my 5 girlies. Carlie, Rebekah (Bekah), Laura, Emma (Em) and Cherie (Chez). We will all be 18 by the end of the year and also be finishing high school! We can't wait. The funny thing with our friendship is we hardly ever get into any big fights, we are all really close and we can just be ourselves. Personally we really don't care that much what we look like but we all do like to get dressed up and keep up the trends. Carlie, Laura and Em and I have been friends since year 7. Then Chez moved to school when we were in year 8. Then Bekah moved here last year. So yeah, it's is just the six of us.

Half an hour later the girls came back with heaps of lollies and drinks. They had bought sour worms, snakes, sherbet, jelly beans and Tim Tams. They also bought each of us a bottle of soft drink.

"I bet you won't get to see the boys." Chez sighed as she put a sour worm in her mouth.

"Be positive!" Carlie exclaimed. She was always so positive, she hated negativity. That's a quality I wish I had.

"OMG we are moving forward!" Bekah screamed with excitement.

We all squealed and moved forward.

"Your Insecure, don't know what for.." the crowd all started to sing, we joined in as we waited patiently to meet the boys to get our CDs signed.

*A couple of hours later*

We were two people away from the boys. Ahhhhh, we were so close to them… until the security guard said that the boys had finished signing and they had to go. Laura and Em fell to the floor in tears. Rebekah, Chez and I were getting teary and Carlie was trying to comfort all of us.

This was NOT fair.

We all thought that we should head to the bus stop so we don't miss our bus. We kept eating our food because we didn't want it to go to waste. I was so hungry and I'm sure the others were to. We decided that we would catch the bus to Nandos because we didn't have any lunch.

We walked to our bus stop in silence, heads down, not energy and eating the rest of our lollies.

We were the only people at the bus stop and everyone was in a bad mood, including me. I just wanted to tell them how much they inspired me and we waited forever. It's not fair!

I grabbed my phone out of my bag, it was 6pm. DAMMIT! Nandos would be closed now! I was so hungry. We then decided we would just head over to my house and hang out for a little bit. All of a sudden, I see Zayn walk out of the shopping centre! OMG! He looked so perfect. Then one by one, they walked out.

"Hey guys, look over there!" I said excitedly. This made me feel so much better and I saw all my friends start to smile and get excited.

"Guys maybe they will come our way if we don't freak out…. So don't freak out!" Carlie said excitedly.

We just kept staring at them while playing with our phones. As I looked up, I saw Niall point in our direction and they all started to walk towards us. I was speechless and I had no idea what to do. Should I run up to them or should I just play it cool? What do I even say to them? A million questions were running through my head but I decided to just keep calm and be myself.

They all walked over to us and stood in front of us. It was just so overwhelming! I looked over at the others and they had the biggest smiles on their faces. I could tell that they had no idea what to do.

"Hello girlies, we saw you at the CD signing" Harry said to us.

"Really, we didn't think you would remember or even notice a bunch or girls like us, you didn't even get to see us!" Em said.

"Well we did, you girls were so close to us, then I saw two of you fall to the floor. I felt so bad you couldn't see us." Harry said as I looked over to Em and Laura. They started to blush "so where are you girls heading off to?" Harry asked us, trying to make conversation.

"Well, we were going to Nandos but we just realised that it would be closed so we decided to head back to Caitlyn's house." Rebekah replied to Harry.

The boys all looked at each other and gave each other a nod. What was going on?

"Well, if you guys aren't doing anything, we would really love for you to come to our apartment, maybe for dinner, I'm guessing you would be very hungry." Niall suggested.

OMG. Did they just invite a bunch of average girls to their apartment?

"Well, you in?" Liam asked.

We all looked at each other and gave each other a nod, just like the boys did.

"Yeah sure why not!" Laura said. We all had smiles on our faces now. This was so unexpected but it was so much better than meeting them for 10 seconds. I had a feeling that this was going to be so much fun.

"Ok then well do you want to come with us?" Liam asked.

"Sure, let's go!" Em said excitedly with her cute giggle.

We started to walk to their cars, until we saw bananas selling for two pounds…. But we decided to buy three bananas for a euro cause you know… YOLO. Carlie, Zayn and I ate our bananas on the way to the cars. When we got there we decided who was going in which car. Since only Harry and Louis can drive, we needed one of their security guards to take us. Therefore, Zayn, Carlie and I went in the car with the security guard. Harry, Emma, Niall and Bekah went into Harry's car. Louis, Laura, Chez and Liam went into Louis' car.

I seriously cannot believe that I am going to the apartment of One Direction and in the same car as Zayn Malik. Once we were all seated in our group cars we headed off. The drivers took many shortcuts and secret routs because they didn't want to mobbed by fans. Once I was all comfortable and ran my head through the sequence of events that had just happened so fast I texted my mum

'Hi mum, the girls and I will be home late. GOING TO DINNER WITH ONE DIRECTION. OMG.! Ahhh…Love you mum xx'

Instantly I got a replied.

'Hi Caity, really? That's great! Okay ill let their mum know. Love you too xxx'

I replied and then started to talk to Zayn and Carlie. We talked about today and before we knew it, we were at their apartment.
