"Bells!" Her little sister's voice was loud, as per usual. Bella groaned and ran a hand through her brown hair. She loved her sister but there were times when her voice was so annoying. She left her room to go to her sister's one, which was just across the hall. Placing her hand on the white door, Bella peered around.

"What is it, Ash?"

The young girl stood at the foot of her bed. Clothes were thrown over the light purple bed sheets. Bella's sister, whose name was Ashley, wasn't the biggest girly girl but she loved flowers and feminine colours. There was resemblance between Bella and Ashley in the facial structure with slightly tanned skin and pink lips. Ashley's hair was a little darker and was much longer, hanging three-quarters of the way down her back. While Ashley had deep brown eyes, Bella's were a dark hazel but in the light, shone a beautiful green.

"I need help with my clothes tonight." Ashley begged, turning to face her sister, her hands clasped together in front of her mouth. Another thing that made Ashley a girly girl was her complete obsession with the English boy band One Direction. Posters of all five boys covered one entire wall of her bedroom. Bella wasn't the biggest fan but after many hours of sitting with her sister, listening to her iTunes, she ended up liking some of their songs. When One Direction announced they were touring again in 2015, Ashley immediately begged her parents to let her go. She had never seen them live before and it was her dream to go. And on Christmas morning of 2014, that dream had come true. One of Ashley's presents were two tickets to One Direction's first Sydney show on the 7th of February. Bella remembered her little sister's reaction when she ripped open the envelope. Her screams echoed off the walls as the whole family laughed. Their father had captured it on video, just to keep the moment as a memory.

The family had asked Ashley who she wanted to go with and to Bella's surprise, Ashley said her. Bella asked her why not take one of her friends instead, to which Ashley responded with, "But I want you to come with me." That had melted Bella's heart and the way her sister looked at her with those puppy dog eyes, she couldn't say no.

The 7th of February had arrived and it wasn't only the night of the concert. It was also Ashley's 12th birthday. She couldn't believe that One Direction would be performing on her birthday. That she would be able to spend her birthday with her favourite musicians in the world. It was now 2 in the afternoon and Ashley was so excited but nervous at the same time. Bella didn't know why her sister was seeking fashion advice from her. She didn't have that much style.

"I think Mum is more qualified in that respect." She told Ashley.

"Yeah, but you are the one that's coming with me tonight. Please pick out my outfit! I want to look good!"

Bella sighed with defeat. She knew this would be one of the best, if not the best, nights of Ashley's life. And probably the best birthday she's ever had. She thought. Bella nodded and walked into the room, coming to a halt next to her sister. Bella wasn't tall but she wasn't short either. She was 165cm, which she was happy with. Ashley was about 155cm but she was still growing while Bella had stopped sometime last year. Bella surveyed the clothes on her sister's bed. I swear she has emptied almost her entire closet. She sighed in her head.

"OK..." She said before picking up each item of clothing to look at it.

Half-an-hour later, Ashley was all ready. Bella had chosen a new pair of skinny jeans her sister had received that morning as a birthday present. She wore a black T-shirt with the words One Direction printed on the front in its signature font with a three-quarter-length blue plaid shirt over the top. Black converse were on her feet. Ashley had wanted to wear some shoes to heighten her a bit but Bella told her that her feet would be dying by the end of the concert; Ashley agreed after a full minute of arguing. Bella, being a great big sister, did Ashley's make-up, going simply with foundation and blush with some mascara to enhance her eyelashes. A simple lip gloss coated her lips and to finish off her look, her dark hair was curled softly, the side-part to the right like it always was.
