Julie's P.O.V

"Aw, thanks Lily. I still can't believe that I did that. It was amazing. And Justin Bieber was so nice. He's also so cute but that goes without saying." Liz said, sighing in content as she looked at the computer screen. It was the morning after our results show and we were all still on cloud nine. The thrill of performing live is still set in our minds, and knowing that we were high in the competition felt like a dream.

Right now, we were hanging out in our hotel room, relaxing after the eventful two days that we've had. Liz has been Skyping one of her friends she met through the internet, Lily. She lives down in Australia and is so nice. I talked to her a few times through Kik but we never Skyped. Technically I'm not Skyping her, I'm just in the same room as them.

"It really was amazing. I've got to go through, it's getting super late so I'll talk to you tomorrow or something." Lily said.

"Oh right, I forgot about the time difference." Liz laughed, "I'll talk to you later Lily, bye, love you." Liz said. Lily returned the 'I love you' and the call cut. I watched as my blonde haired friend closed her laptop and stood up, walking over to her bed. "We should do something today. We don't have to start working on next week's show until tomorrow. We should go out into the city and do something." She said.

"I'm down. I'm too energized to sit still right now." Caitlin said.

"Yay, get dressed." Liz said, walking towards the pink suitcase that sat on the floor. I watched as she looked through it before I stood up to get dressed.

It only took us a few minutes before we were out in the streets of L.A, the hot sun blinding us all. We were  downtown Los Angeles so we weren't that close to the coast. I wanted to go swimming today, since it was hot but the girls wanted to do some sightseeing and the stars of Hollywood star things. I didn't mind so much, hopefully we'll be able to go swimming later on.

We did a little shopping, but not much. We mostly just visited different places of the city. We were in a café - Liz was hungry again - when the strangest thing happened. A girl about our age came up to us and asked for an autograph. It was so fucking weird. We've only had one performance and she wanted our signatures. It was weird to be honest. I had no idea what to do, and neither did Liz. She just printed her name. No special cursive design or anything. Just regular old Liz.

The girl mentioned something about being a fan of Liz's fan accounts, which in a way helps us. If people love Liz online, why wouldn't they vote for her for the X Factor? It could help us in the long run. Maybe that is why we are so far ahead in the competition right now. If it is, thank God for her fan accounts.

That was a few hours ago and now we were standing in line at Starbucks.It took forever to actually find a place to eat. Caitlin wanted Italian, I wanted fast food, and per usual, Liz wanted Chinese. That's how we ended up at Starbucks, classic white girl, huh? But they have good food, too bad it's so expensive.

"You know, I don't see why we are eating here when we can go get free food at the hotel." I said, standing next to Caitlin. The line was moving very slow, there was only one person behind the counter.

"All they have there is like... huge meals. I just want something quick and low calorie." Liz said, earning looks from Caitlin and I.

"What?" She asked, noticing our stares.

"You do know that some of the stuff they sell here isn't exactly low calorie." Caitlin said.

"Shh, let me live in my fantasy land." Liz said, putting her finger to her lips. I didn't know exactly what to say to that, so I shrugged and went with it. We were next in line, behind some business women who was totally talking her anger out on the poor boy behind the counter. Poor guy, Caitlin's in line next and he doesn't know what's coming. Neither do I, but Caitlin's probably got something brewing. I could practically feel it coming off of her.

"Hey girls, want to see something funny?" She asked.

... And that's how I ended up running out of Starbucks, the manager yelling after us. I bet you're wondering what just happened. Well I'll keep it simple for you. Caitlin decided to tell the guy that her name was Harry Styles, explaining that she was his girlfriend and that he was out in the car. It took a bit to convince him, but he fell for it. His fatal mistake. As we were recording what was going on with Liz's phone we had to wait a little bit. But as soon as he called out the name Harry Styles it was like a bomb went off. So many teenage girls were running around, trying to figure out where Harry was.

But anyway, the noise attracted the manger from the back, who asked the Starbucks employee what was going on. The boy totally ratted us out and the manager started walking towards our table. Cue Caitlin yelling for us to run, we were then out on the street running away from the place. The manager must have chased us down half a block or so before finally giving up. We were standing outside of some Italian place - go figure- when we stopped.

"Never again, am I going to partake in a public prank with you." Liz said, breathing deeply.

"Oh come on, it was funny. We should post it." Caitlin said, laughing. I couldn't help but laugh and soon enough we were all laughing at what just happened.

<><> 

Liz groaned loudly, rolling around on the floor. "He's just so cute, throwing myself off a cliff would be less painful then seeing this picture." Liz whined. I laughed quietly, rolling my eyes as I played on my phone. I have no idea what she is doing and frankly, I'm not sure that I want to know what she's doing.  It sounds like she's having some sort of mental break down.

"Liz, calm down." Caitlin said from her spot on their shared bed.

"I can't, I can't. He's just really cute and I really want to meet him and maybe marry him but I can't because he doesn't know that I even exist." Liz said, sitting up and look between the pink haired girl and I.

"Who are you even talking about?" I asked.

"Jeez, do you even know her at all. She's talking about her one and only, Niall Horan." Caitlin said.

"Don't talk to me with that type of disrespect." I mumbled underneath my breath. "Well I didn't know that. She's got two other guys after her and all she thinks about is a celebrity that doesn't know who she is." I said.

"I don't have two guys after me, what the heck are you talking about?" Liz said, getting up and sitting down on the bed.

"Liz, honey, we love you," Caitlin said, "But you're an idiot. Beck is obviously head over heels for you and Evan is falling at your feet."

Liz scoffed. "Beck doesn't like me, he's my best friend. And as for Evan... I don't know." She said, her cheeks heating up.

"Do you like him?" I asked her.

"I don't know," She shrugged, "I mean, I like him in a way that I want to hang out with. I don't know. He's turning twenty three in a few months and I'm turning nineteen in November. Do you think that's too big of an age difference?" She asked.

I shook my head. "It's only four years, it's really not that bad. You should see if he's interested." I said.

"I couldn't..." Liz said.

"I can if you want. I can talk to him or something." I offered.

Liz's eyes widened. "You can if you want to, but make sure that he doesn't know that I'm interested." She said.

I smiled, biting the corner of my lip. "Perfect."
