My Life As Lily by Katie Such (10 best novels of all time TXT) 📖

“Okay, now I’m really nervous!” Bree started to freak out after looking out the curtains at the crowd. There had to be at least thirty thousand people here at the Hollywood Festival.
“Listen girls we are going to do fine, we’ve practiced these songs at least a hundred times.” I calmly stated but on the inside I am really nervous!
“Hey girls are you nervous?” Justin came up behind us and asked. We all nodded, “Ah don’t be it’s a rush once you start, I suppose Lily is the most nervous huh?”
“A little but I’m actually really excited.” I was lying but I didn’t want to show it. I know he only said it because I’m the lead singer. Usher has this whole angle where one voice is going to be strong enough, but I convinced him that I need some back up occasionally.
“I see, well you’re on in ten. They’ll announce you.”
“Okay,” we were only singing three songs. ‘Time to Shine’ ‘Let’s Rock’ and ‘We Can’. We don’t really know what the others are singing except for Justin. He’s singing ‘One Time’ ‘Baby’ ‘Never Let You Go’ ‘You Smile’ and one more but he won’t say.
We got to talk to Demi and Selena for a little while they were really nice. But Miley wouldn’t come out of her dressing room she told us to go away. I don’t know why but she won’t talk to us. We didn’t do anything wrong but oh well.
We are all wearing white skinny jeans. I’m wearing a blue shirt, Bree’s wearing a purple one, Toria’s wearing a bright orange shirt, and Alison’s wearing a red one. We all have high tops that match our shirts. Everyone’s hair is left down but mine. I have mine half up and my side bangs down.
“How’s everyone don’t tonight?” we heard Usher scream. Screams came from the crowd, “Ok so I’ve been working with these girls for a few weeks they are signed with me we call them The Girls Next Door.” We all walked out, “Girls introduce yourselves.” I grabbed a microphone.
“I’m Lily.” I passed it down.
“I’m Bree.”
“I’m Toria.”
“And I’m Alison.” People screamed even though they didn’t even know us.
Once we finished singing, I started breathing heavily. “You all know and love her, here’s the lovely and talented Demi Lovato!” I yelled the best I could. I had sweat dripping down my face. We walked off stage as she came on.
“Weren’t they fantastic?” Demi asked. Screams came from the crowd, “well if you have tickets to see Justin Bieber they are opening for him on his upcoming tour!” Everyone screamed.
“Holy cow, you girls totally rocked it.” Justin said, “oh and Lily make sure you’re sitting on the side of the stage.”
“Why?” I wondered.
“Just because”
“Okay,” I was super confused. Justin just walked away.
“Maybe he’s going to bring you on stage and sing One Less Lonely Girl to you,” Toria suggested.
“Um I don’t think so, I’m not his girlfriend.” I stated and looked at Bree. She looked really upset. I didn’t really say anything and I just sat on the side of the stage so I could see. I watched Demi and Selena perform. When Justin came on I paid more attention to it. He sang all his song, all but the last one, “Okay so, I’ve been working on this amazing song! But I need Lily to come out here and join me!” I brought my stool out with me. Justin had Asher play the guitar part. I know he wants me to sing ‘Let it Rain’ Asher began to play and Justin began to sing.
When we finished the song everyone clapped and screamed.
“I’m glad you liked it,” Justin grabbed my hand and brought me center stage and we took a bow, “To end the festival Miley Cyrus everyone!” he still had my hand and we walked off stage. As we walked passed Miley she gave me a dirty look. I went to my dressing room to grab my phone and my other stuff. Then I met up with Justin and the girls and we headed out to the limo to get back on the plane.
Once the plane ride was over we all got off.
“Okay you girls head home and rest, I’ll see you on Monday for rehearsals.” Justin said.
“Okay,” we all said.
“Oh and Lily, I was thinking we could make ‘Let it Rain’ the closing song on my tour.”
“That’d be cool,” I said.
“Okay, see you Monday.” He said and we all headed home. I can’t believe the tour is in less than two weeks. I’m so pumped. My parents bought me new clothes just for the tour and everything. I heard my phone vibrated on my bedside table. Nick texted me:

Hey call me when you get up in the morning, I’m back in town.

I didn’t text back but I’m really excited to see him. I lie down and shut my lamp off.
I woke up and it’s nine thirty four. I took a shower and i got dressed and did my makeup. I decided to wear a pair of white shirt and a lime green shirt. I grabbed my I phone and dialed Nick’s number.
“Hello, Nick’s phone.” It was Joe.
“Hey Joe where is he?”
“Shower, do you need a ride?”
“Yeah,” I grabbed my tooth brush.
“Okay, be there in five.”
“Okay, bye.”
“Bye,” he hung up.
I grabbed my sunglasses and I put my flip flops on I waited for Joe. He pulled up two minutes later in his black hummer.
“Hey,” I put my seatbelt on.
“Hi,” he put it in drive and headed for the hotel.
“Thanks.” I got out of the hummer.
“No problem,” we walked up to the elevator and went up to the suite.
“Hey Kevin, Danielle.” I said
“Hey,” they seemed busy so I just went to Nick’s room and Joe came in a minute later.
“Can we talk a second?” he asked.
“Sure what’s up?”
“Okay, listen and please don’t interrupt, Nick has had a lot of girl’s break his hear and mostly because of him being famous. He really likes you and I don’t want ot see him get hurt so please don’t break his heart okay?” I didn’t know if he was done so I started talking when he didn’t continue.
“Look Joe I promise I won’t do anything to hurt him. I really care about him.” I put my hand on his shoulder.
“Thank you.” He gave me a hug and left the room. I didn’t really know what was taking Nick so long in the shower, so I just lay down on his bed and closed my eyes.
I think I fell asleep but I woke up when Nick kissed my forehead. I opened my eyes and smiled.
“Sorry, I guess I was still tired.” I gave him a hug and then fixed my hair a little.
“It’s alright, but I have something for you,” he got up and went over to his desk and brought back a little box, “I’m going to come and see youas much asi can on tough, and I want to make a promise that I will be completely faithful while you are on tour and I want to give you this to show my promise.” He opened the box and it was a diamond and sapphire ring that said love, “it’s a promise ring.” He took it out and put it on my left ring finger.
“It’s beautiful and I promise you that I will always be faithful too.” He had the same ring on his left ring finger. I gave him a hug, but he held on tighter and longer than he ever has before. I pulled away and looked at him. I am really happy with him. Nick put one hand on my waist and the other on the back of my neck. It was really sweet. I put my hands on the back of his neck and deepened the kiss.
“Oh guys that’s gross!” We heard Joe say, we immediately looked up at him. I let go of Nick and looked around awkwardly.
“Sorry,” I said, Nick and Joe just started laughing. I just smiled. Joe left the room.
“Sorry he does that all the time,” Nick moved from standing to sitting on the bed. I sat down next to him, “So do you have a swimsuit at home?” He asked.
“Yeah, I have like seven but why?”
“Because I was thinking about going swimming in the pool downstairs, I mean if you wanted to?”
“Yeah, that would be fun. Is it going to be just me and you?” I wondered.
“No, Joe and Demi are going to come too.”
“Ok, sounds good.” I go in the passenger’s seat of Nick’s car. After he got on the road he held my hand as we made our way to my house.
“Nick, am I supposed to take the ring off in the water?”
“No, I usually keep mine on.” He kept his eyes on the road and was rubbing his thumb on the side of my hand. We got to my house and I quickly went to my room and put on my dark blue bikini with white polka dots. I put on a pair of tan shorts and a black tank top. I grabbed an extra pair of clothes to change into, my brush a towel and a hair tie. I grabbed my purple bag and put everything in it. I made sure I had everything and I ran out to Nick’s car.
“Got what you need?” He asked as I got in and put my seat belt on.
“Yeah”
Once we got back to the hotel Nick went back to his suite to get his suit on and I went to the pool to meet Joe and Demi.
“Hey Lily,” Joe said as I walked in.
“Hey I took off my tank top and shorts.
“Hey Lily I meant to tell you that you sang amazing last night.” Demi commented.
“Thank you.” A group of teenage girls walked in as I said that. They came up to us with note books.
“Hi Demi, Joe can we have your autographs please?” A pretty blonde girl asked.
“Sure ladies we would be happy to.” Joe answered. They started signing their notebooks.
“Demi your show last night was amazing we saw it on TV.” One of the girls said.
“Thanks, what did you think of the openers?”
“They were really good!”
“Well the lead singer Lily is right there.” Demi pointed to me and I looked up from my phone and waved. The girls came up to me and held out their notebooks. I signed them with my name and a heart. I knew that’s how I wanted to sign my name. As I finished signing the last girls autograph, Nick was walking in and all the girls rushed up to him. He signed all of their notebooks and they left. I just laughed. I stood up and walked over to the hot tub. I could feel
