Liz's P.O.V
"I could write a song by my new piano, I could sing about how love is a losing battle. It's not hard, it's not hard, it's not hard, it's not hard." I sang, the music ending as I finished.
We've been at the recording studio since about seven this morning, and have been recording the vocals for our new album. We have completed two whole songs, not including Ready Or Not. The songs we had finished were Piano, Julie wrote that one. The last one was Hit The Lights, which was co written by Caitlin and I. It's now almost eleven in the morning and I was beat. But we had to get to the shoot for some Australian magazine in an hour.
"Alright ladies, that was perfect. I really love the song Julie, nice work. Okay, we need to head out. So say thank you to Brad for assisting us in the booth. I'll meet you girls outside." Dylan said, making us all nod our head in agreement.
I pulled the headphones off of my head and set them down, then stood up. I looked towards Julie and Caitlin, who motioned for me to leave the booth first. I couldn't help but laugh a little as I walked out. I turned toward the men, Brad, and thanked him for working with us this morning. He nodded and told us it was his pleasure, and I couldn't help but smile at his accent. I've always loved Australian accents.
"Okay, that song was perfect. I really like the whole theme of it, you'd done good Jules." Caitlin said, making Julie laugh.
"Well I was going through a time where I didn't like a guy. Why would I want to write a love ballad if I'm not in love. I wanted to make a happy song, besides... I think Liz can handle all the love songs." Julie said, looking over at me.
I blushed and rolled my eyes, ignoring the two. So what if I was in love? That doesn't mean that I can't write other songs. Besides, I wrote a song called Who Says that's about people being perfect the way they are. That's not a love song. So Julie can suck it.
"C'mon girls, Dylan is waiting for us outside." I said, picking up the pace a bit. I didn't want him to be waiting for that long.
When we got outside I was a little bit surprised by the number of people that were out there. It wasn't nearly as bad as it was when we got to Australia. I'd say there was about fifty, maybe even seventy, girls and guys out there. It was a little odd... maybe posting that picture of us at the studio wasn't too bright of an idea. Jack and Justin were waiting by the doors for us, and as soon as the way us they had picked us up. I was over Justin's shoulder while Julie and Caitlin were over Jack's. I was confused as to why they were carrying us, but I didn't question it. I was tired all morning and if Justin was going to carry me then so be it.
I felt a bit bad for the fans that wanted pictures, so I started waving at fans and making odd faces. They seemed to get a kick out of it, which made me laugh. I reached my hand out and started high fiving random fans, all while saying hi and giving our compliments. Most of the things that I was complimenting were shirts, or hair styles, or anything like that. Especially when someone was wearing a Jay Cee El shirt. That was definitely the best thing to compliment.
Unfortunately we got to our new bus too soon, and I was finally put down. I smiled again and waved once more to the fans, blowing kisses as usual. It was kind of Jay Cee El's thing I guess. I turned towards the bus and climbed up the stairs, following Julie. When I got inside the bus goose bumps covered my arms, the air a lot colder in the bus then the hot air outside. I walked over to my bunk and pulled on the sweatshirt I had once again stolen from Niall, once it smelt like him again.
"Girls, girls, girls. So... we've been speaking with the adoption agency and well, we've been put through for a couple to chose us! All we need to do is see if a couple wants us to adopt. But we need recommendations, and well... Dylan, girls, we would like it if you wrote them. We're with you all the time and well, you know us best." Ben said.
"You don't have to of course, but it would mean a lot to us." Gale said.
A huge smile broke out on my face and I walked over to the two, giving them a big hug. After telling them that I'd be honored to write it, they hugged me again. Julie and Caitlin both agreed, as well as Dylan. Who wouldn't help out some of the best people in the world. 'Cause trust me, Gale and Ben are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet in your life.
"Okay, so we need them by Friday. But that's enough about us, why don't you tell us about your date with Johnny last night Julie. Was it nice and steamy?" Ben asked, making us all laugh. Leave it to Ben to ask that question.
"It went perfectly fine. Johnny was... well he was great." Julie said, a smile on her face. "We went out to some restaurant that was recommended by a couple fans and then we went and say a movie. Kind of your typical, everyday date. But it was a lot of fun." Julie finished.
"Aw, well at least you had fun. Now seriously girl, give me details. Was there a dark van with steam in it? Or maybe a little whip cream involved?" Ben asked, making me roll my eyes. I can't believe this is the guy that is able to adopt a child.
"Not that it's any of your business, there was none of that. It was a simple date and I found out that I really like Johnny." Julie said. It was kind of funny, because I could tell she was lying.

"We owe it all to the fans, without them we'd be nowhere." I said, making sure that the interviewer got each word.
We've been taking photos for almost an hour, and have gone through at least thirty outfits each. I don't think I've ever changed clothes as much as I have today. It was rough, but it was also so much fun. We decided that each girl should go for a certain look, but Caitlin's getting a closer up shoot than the Julie and I. We've already selected the pictures that we want to use, but we need us all to have something to be said. I decided to go with something for the fans while Julie and Caitlin took a different approach.
"A little glam never hurt anyone. Don't be afraid to express yourself. The right people will love you no matter what." Julie said, the interviewer taking notes.
"Every girl is beautiful on her own, we don't need any makeup to improve ourselves." Caitlin said, her words getting noted as well.
"Alright, thanks so much girls. It was amazing to meet you, my kids love you. And thanks for the autographs as well, it means a lot." Jessica, the interviewer, said.
"It was no problem, thanks for having us." Julie said, standing up.
After saying a few goodbyes, and thanking everyone that has been helping with the shoot, we met up with Dylan. He said we did great, and then we were rushed out of the studio. Thank god there wasn't many fans outside. We've already been swarmed today once, and I'm glad that we get a little bit of air to breathe in.
I was the first to get into the car and I sat in the middle, Julie sitting down across from me and then Caitlin took the front with Dylan. As we drove towards the arena we were playing in, Dylan was telling us the plans of next week. It's not going to be that bad, two concerts -including tonight - and then one on Saturday, which is the day after next. Then we have an interview on Monday and our next concert isn't until Wednesday. We've got an easy week, thank god. I could use this time to catch up on my beauty sleep.
"Liz, your phone is ringing." Julie said, poking my side.
I jumped out of the way, laughing a little, and pulled out my phone. I smiled when I saw Niall's contact, but was a bit worried because of the time difference. Wasn't it late over there? I'm not sure how far off the time difference was in Australia and South America. I shook of the thoughts and answered the call, putting the phone up to my ear.
"Hey, babe. What's up?"
