Goodbye Doesn't Mean Forgetting

Goodbye Doesn't Mean Forgetting: Part 22

5 Weeks flew by. I spoke to JJ most nights either on the phone or on skype. When I was on skype, Otea normally joined me. Each week, the boys improved getting better and better. They got through with so much support. I snuggled up with Otea on the sofa, sometimes my Dad joined us, and we watched the show on the television every Saturday night, shouting for the boys. I was still doing the school run for Otea each morning and when I wasn't busy I was either spending some time with my dad or helping JJ's mum with their Christmas party which I was really looking forward to, it sounded like we'd have a blast. 

It was a Friday night. I received a call on my mobile phone but it wasn't from JJ like I expected, it was from an unknown number. I was unsure if to pick up or not. What if it was one of the fans who'd found out JJ and I were together and was ringing to send me hate. I immediately stabbed the red decline button and sighed a breath of relief. Five minutes later, the phone began to ring again from the same unknown number and once again I clicked the decline button. Why were they ringing me? The phone rang a third time and it was getting annoying so I picked up.

"Hello??"

"Hello, It's this Meg?" said an Irish voice down the phone.

"Speaking, who is this?"

"It's Louis Walsh, I'm the boys mentor on the X Factor"

"Oh er Louis erm Hi"

"Hello"

"Are the boys ok?"

"Yes the boys are fine, I'm guessing you want to know why I'm ringing"

"Well yes I'd like to know"

"I want to talk to you about JJ"

"JJ? Is he ok? What's happened?"

"He's fine, well...."

"Well..."

"It's love week this week and he's been really depressed lately. The boys and I miss seeing him smile and we've come to the conclusion that he's missing you"

"He's missing me? What can I do? I want to make him happy"

"Well, I've organised for you to come down to the show for tomorrow. I don't want JJ to see you. Ella knows that you're going to be here so she's agreed to help us do this mission"

"So you're saying I'm coming to the studio's tomorrow?"

"Yes, if you would be able to?"

"Of course, I'd love too. th...thankyou!"

"You'd better get packing then, Picking you up at 7"

"Thankyou so much" I said, almost bursting with excitement.

"I'll look forward to seeing you tomorrow, goodnight"

"Goodnight Louis, thankyou!"

The phone went dead. I started to jump around the room with excitement. I ran straight upstairs to find JJ's mum.

"GUESS WHAT? GUESS WHAT? GUESS WHAT?!?" I said, running and hugging her tightly.

"What?"

"I'M GOING TO THE STUDIOS TO SEE JJ TOMORROW! IT'S LOVE WEEK AND I'M GOING DOWN AS A SURPRISE!!"

As soon as JJ's mum heard, a massive smile grew on her face, she looked like she might burst with excitement. Grabbing me and hugging me tightly, she took my hand and lead me into my room, grabbing the bag from the top of the wardrobe and packing my stuff nicely and neatly. I walked into Otea's room, tucking her in and giving her a kiss on the head, lightly ruffling her hair. It was time for my bed too. I jumped in, wriggling around to try and make the bed warmer. I placed my head on the cold side of the pillow, looking at the wooden bedside table. All of a sudden, my phone began to flash and vibrate. I slapped the screen, pulling it towards me. It was a text from JJ.
