I Wish.. by Jessica Pham (thriller novels to read txt) 📕

(Amber's POV)

As I was trying on the last of my dresses, Rae started singing Up All Night. “Oh, the horror! You know that’s a dirty song, right?” I asked, wagging my eyebrows. Her face was priceless, “No it’s not!” she argued. “Yeah, it is. Try listening to the lyrics.” I retorted. I started reciting the lyrics. And emphasizing the dirty parts.

“It feels like we've been livin' in fast forward
Another moment passing by
(Up up up all night)
The party's ending but it's now or never
Nobody's going home tonight
(Up up up all night)
Katy Perry’s on replay
She's on replay
DJ got the floor to shake, the floor to shake
People going all the way

Yeah, all the way

I'm still wide awake

I wanna stay up all night
And jump around until we see the sun

I wanna stay up all night
And find a girl and tell her she's the one
Hold on to the feeling
And don't let it go

'Cause we got the floor now
Get out of control

I wanna stay up all night
And do it all with you

-“

“Okay! Okay! I get it!” Rae cut me off. I smirked and tried on a black one shoulder dress that went to a little above my knees and has a gold belt around it. It was pretty cute. She ‘eeked’ and clapped her hands together. “This is the one!” she said excitedly.

It did feel quite nice, and comfy. Like it was made for me. We bought both of our dresses and drove back to Lynn’s house. It’s not like I’m going to wear it. I’m going to be staying in the car.

I thought as I drove us home. Rae and I walked in the door and smelled something really good. Both our noses lifted up and followed the spicy smell to the kitchen. Aunt Lynn was making some sort of soup. We both dropped our bags on he floor and walked over to her.

“What’s cookin’ good lookin'?” Rae asked. “I made some soup. You guys want some?” Lynn asked, setting the bowls on the table. “Sure!” We both sat down and dug in. Mmm… “This is really good!” I said. She smiled from ear to ear, “Really?”

Did I not just say that it was good?!

I shrugged and finished my bowl. I eyed the pot. I want a second, but I don’t want to make it seem like I was fat and a pig. Well, I am. But… what the heck?

I walked over to the pot and got seconds….and thirds…and fourths…

By the time I was full, there was barely any soup left. Rae and Lynn sat there, mouths wide open, and stared at my plate, then back at me. “I was hungry…” I mumbled embarrassed. I put the dish in the sink and walked inside my new room. I fell onto the bed and lay there for a second and sighed..

I should probably go take a shower.

I thought, I went to my luggage and pulled out some sweatpants, a bra and a tank. I showered and put the clothes on. It was about twelve, so I went to bed.

(Amber's POV)

“TODAY’S THE DAY!!” Rae yelled, jumping on my bed. “Ughh! Let me be!” I groaned. “C’mon!” she whined, and tickled me. She knows I’m ticklish..

I thought as I yelled, “Alright! Alright! I’m up!” Laughing, she got off my bed and walked out the door. I yawned and fell right back on the pillow. “AMBER!” Rae yelled. It’s like she could see through walls and doors…

I grumbled and stretched. I sat up and rubbed my eyes.

I got off the bed and trudged to the bathroom. I sat on the toilet (and yes, my pants are still on) and closed my eyes. My head drooped, and every time it did, I would jerk myself awake. I finally fell on the bathroom floor and just stayed there, not wanting to get my lazy butt up. I probably fell asleep for about an hour before Rae came running in the bathroom. “Hurry up! We’re gonna be late!” I rolled my head to look at her, she was still in her PJ’s, so she can’t talk. I rubbed my eyes, “What time is it?”

“About 4 in the afternoon.” She answered. No wonder my stomach was growling! I got up and wobbled out the door and into the kitchen. Aunt Lynn was washing the dishes, and when I came in, she said, “Nice of you to join us sleepyhead!” “Hey.” I said and grabbed some food, and sat down at the table, only to be pulled back up by Rae.

“We gotta get ready!”

“No. I’m not going to that thing. I'm only driving you. I’m not gonna look at the boys, I’m not gonna hear their god awful voices, I’m gonna stay in the car and listen to The Script and some other music.” I stated. “But you have to!!” she argued. “No buts.” I said sternly. Dang, I feel like my mom! She started pouting but that vanished once I said, “Do you want me to make you pancakes?” “YES! Ohmygod! Yes!” she yelled, frantically nodding her head. I know, it’s 5 o’ clock and I’m making pancakes. Aunt Lynn raised her eyebrows, “You cook?”

“Yeah.”


I made the pancakes and served them do an impatient Rae and Lynn. They both ate it and moaned. “This is so good!” Lynn exclaimed. “Of course! What were you expecting?” Rae mumbled through a mouth full of pancakes. Aunt Lynn laughed.

After they both finished their pancakes, Rae dragged me into her room that she shared with Aunt Lynn. “So, should I wear the dress we bought yesterday, or just skinny jeans and a sweatshirt?” she rummaged around in her luggage. “I’d say, the skinny jeans and sweatshirt.” I said.

She put them on, and applied mascara and eyeliner. “Done!” she yelled. I thought she’d take longer, cuz you know, she’s had a HUGE crush on Niall since they were on the X Factor… “Why didn’t you dress up?” I asked. “Because I don’t wanna seem like I'm trying too much.” She shrugged. I nodded my head slowly. “Ok..” I got up and walked to my room, it was 6 and the concert started at 8. So I shoved my earplugs in my ear and listened to music to kill time.

Soon, it was 7 o’ clock and Rae skipped to my room and told me to get ready. I decided to keep on what I’m wearing, big sweatpants and a short tank.

I just needed to put on eyeliner and mascara. I did, and I went to the living room and told Rae we were going. She squeaked and ran to the car. I grabbed the keys and my wallet and stuffed it in my back pocket. I walked to the car and turned it on. “About time!” Rae said from the passenger seat. I rolled my eyes and started driving to the concert hall or that one place the boys were singing at.

By the time we arrived there, it was already 8:15. Rae was going ballistics! “Ohmigod! What if I’m late?! What if the concert had already started and I missed a bunch of it!? I might have missed my chance to see Niall!!” Rae panicked. “Chill, and go.” Was all I said. She quickly exited the car and ran towards the LONG line outside. I couldn’t really see anything because it was very dark and cold. It was about mid November. I turned on the heat and put in a CD to listen to. The Man That Can't Be Moved came on.

I sat there and sang along. Gosh, it’s cold in here..

I shivered and rubbed my hands together. I was only wearing a tank too. I started the car and drove to the nearest store that was open. I found one and walked inside. It smelled really good. It smelled like cotton candy. Sweet, but not too sweet. I looked around and spotted the clothing rack and went over to it. I looked through the clothes and picked a cute sweatshirt that says ‘Love Pink'.

I saw a little coffee shop in the corner of the shop, so I went over there and bought one. I paid for the sweatshirt and got back inside the car. I drove to the concert place and parked near the back entrance because I didn’t want people looking through my windows and creepin’ on me. So I sat there, drinking my coffee and listened to the music I liked.

(Harry's POV)

"Holy cow, that was a long show!” Niall exclaimed. “I know right?” Zayn agreed. Danie (Danielle) ran up to Niall, Louis, Zayn, Liam and I. “You guys were great!” she said, planting a long, passionate kiss on Liam’s lips. I wrinkled my nose, “Guys, get a room.”

“We would if we could.” Liam said. Danie laughed and Liam slung his arm on her shoulder. “I think we should celebrate with carrots!” Louis yelled, holding a bunch of carrots up. “Where did you get that?” I asked. “Magic.” He replied, bumping his shoulder with mine. We were trying to get away from the crazy fans by going the back way as fast as we could. I bet the paparazzi had already gotten a picture of us and was lurking behind a corner somewhere.

“We should go to Danie’s house to celebrate!” Niall yelled. “Shhh!” Zayn whisper yelled. Louis was munching on carrots, Niall was stuffing his face, Liam and Danie were doing something… Zayn was- “Vas happenin’ bro?” he said to a dude I did’t know. And then there’s me. Harry. I was just walking with my hands in my pockets. I didn’t really feel like socializing today.

All the guys understood, and left me alone. “So it’s official. We’re all going to Danie's tonight.” Liam stated.
