Chapter 3

After a very busy week of college for Rachael & Jo-Rachael studying sport & Jo studying performing arts-both girls were wiped out but looking forward to Saturday. Any free time the had, had been dedicated to making the banner & finalising arrangements for the weekend.
Saturday finally arrived, both girls woke up early & were runnning around the house screaming by 8:30! What teenagers were doing up at that time in the morning on a Saturday is anyone's guess! But the were excited so I'm sure I can let them off.
So they started getting ready, picking their outfits very carefully. Rachael was wearing her favourite pink top, skinny jeans & pink converse trainers. Jo was wearing a white top, a brown skirt & cowboy boots. Next on the list was hair & make up, being girls this was going to take a while! Rachael had decided to have curly hair so she was settled in from of the mirror with the curling tongs. Jo was trying to do her make up but Rachael had stolen the mirror!

"Move outa the way"
"Hell no, I need to do my hair"
"But I need to put my face on"
"Well you can do it after"
"But you always take ages"
"Deal with it hun, I want to look my best for Jon"
"And I wanna look good for Ben"
"Jon's way better than Ben, which makes me getting ready first a priority"
"Like hell he is, seriously Rachey, let me use the mirror"

By this point Rachael had finished curling her hair. She slammed down the curling tongs & stormed out of the room, yelling on the way.

"You can be such a bitch sometimes, you know that Jo"
"Calm down Rachael, we don't need to argue"
"Whatever Jo, stay out my way"

Jo thought it would be wise to give Rachael space at this point, so she decided to do her make-up. Once she had fnished Jo went to find Rachael to apologise for their stupid arguement, but she couldn't find her anywhere. Jo checked everywhere including the shed! Well it was one of Rachael's hideouts when she was feeling low. Jo was beginning to panic at this point, Rachael had dissapeared for 2 hours now & they needed to leave for London in an hour. Suddenly Jo's phone bleeped, ah a text message.

'hi hun, 15 mins away. jus needed 2 get out, b bck soon, soz 4 bein moody, luv ya mwah xxx'

Jo replied:

'hun, everythins kl, get bck asap, need 2 go soon, i'm soz 2, luv ya xxxx'

Jo put the finishing touches to her make up & put the kettle on. She knew what Rachael was like, always needed a cuppa after she's been crying. Also they helped her chill out, they both needed chilling out, their emotions were running high, hence the row.
Rachael walked through the door & quickly ran upstairs to her room before Jo could see her. Obviously she had something to hide, what it was, well you'll find out later! Then she ran back outside & put something in the car! After coming back in, having a quick cuppa & doing her make up Rachael was ready to go but Jo was faffing about doing goodness knows what!

Finally they were ready to go, 15 minutes after they had planned to leave! So they both jumped into Rachael's baby blue VW Beetle, turned the radio up & set off for London.

Chapter 2

Rachael & Jo woke up on the Sunday morning with very sore heads. Serves them right! After a hearty fry up (perfect for a hangover) the girls got down to work. They had to call everyone the knew to let them know the good news, plan outfits, work out sleeping arrangements & they had decided to make banners, just to make sure the G4 lads noticed them especially Jon & Ben. After calling the 'rents to let them know that they would be going to London at the weekend. In case you are wondering why the 'rents were called first, it's a Sunday, that's the day the 'rents get called!!! The next person on the list to call was Ally who they knew would be really jealous. Well they were allowed after all, Ally hadn't been particually nice to them recently. So much for her being one of their closest friend, oh well stuff her! I bet you're wondering what was said during that phonecall. I cen see your mind working! Well for those of you that are nosey & like to know every single detail, here it is.

*sound of phone ringing in Rachael's ear*
"hello"
"hi Ally, it's Rachael. I have something to tell you"
"yeeeeeessss," came the reply "you sound very excited"
"Jo & I have won tickets to The X Factor live show this Saturday"
"oh, um...right...err...good for you," Ally replied, sounding very down-heartend "hope you have a good time"
"are you jealous"
"jealous? JEALOUS? why on earth would I be jealous?"
"well...because you also watch The X Factor & love G4"
"yeah well, just get over yourself Rachael, I really couldn't care less"
"fine then Ally, guess I'll talk to you another time, hopefully you'll be in a better mood"
*Rachael then hung up on Ally*

But all was not well with Ally, she would have her revenge. More about that later.

Well, Rachael & Jo had made all their phonecalls & decided it was time to make the banner, the one that would get Jon & Ben to notice them. Just the planning of banner took up the rest of the day, before they knew it, it was one o'clock in the morning & they both had to be up for college in the morning.

That night Rachael dreamt of the Saturday that was about to change Jo's & hers lives forever. In this dream Rachael dreamt of Jon & what he would say to her when they laid eyes on each other for the very first time.

And She Thought It Would Never Happen!


Chapter 1

It all started one Saturday night in 2004. Rachael & Jo were sat in from of the TV in their new flat, waiting for The X Factor to start. They were a few weeks into the show & they loved it. Especially when someone really bad strted singing, it really cracked them up!
So there they were, ice cream, crisps & a ton of gin on the table in front of them. After half an hour of giggling & comparing notes on voices & hotness of the guys a group that was auditioning caught their eye. There was something different about them, their voices seemed to melt into each other perfectly. Jo looked up at the screen & saw G4 for the very first time.

"Oh my God", she yelled "Rachael you have to see these lads, the very pinicle of perfection!"

Rachael looked up & screamed. So many thoughts were rushing through her head. Her eyes were instantly drawn toJon, she knew that things wouldn't be the same after seeing him. She was hooked onJon & Jo was totaly wrapped up in Ben. Yes it was as simple as that, they were in love (or at least they thought they were).
Rachael & Jo spent the whole of the next week trying to find out as much as they could about G4. They checked everything-the internet, magazines, anything they could possibly think of. Yes, I do believe they were becoming obsessed! Jon, Ben, Mike & Matt were taking over their lives.
Saturday rolled around again & it was time for The X Factor-Boot Camp time. Rachael & Jo had been praying all week that Louis would be mentoring G4 as he had success with the likes of Westlife. They knew that Louis would be the best person to look after the groups & just knew in their hearts that Louis would help them to greatness! They needn't of worried, Louis had the groups & that was the best news ever (apart from one of the lads themselves telling them they loved them!). The G4 lads just seemed to be getting better & better everytime Rachael & Jo heard them. They would get lost in their voices, the way they harmonised with each other so perfectly. These lads could sing a sea shanty & it would still sound sexy!!! The thought of G4 not going through to the live shows never crossed Rachael's & Jo's minds, it had to happen. It would be a travesty if they didn't & sure enough Louis announced them as one of his final 4.
Rachael & Jo couldn't wait for next Saturday, they had been waiting fot it all their lives (or so it seemed).
Saturday finally arrived, they took the phone of the hook, switched of their mobiles & gathered up lots of snacks including plenty ofgin! They were not dissapointed, the live show was amazing, everyone sung really well, it was hard to tell who would be voted of. Right at the end of the show there was a competition to win tickets to one of the live shows (amongst other things), they had to enter. What if they managed to talk to G4? The hour of waiting for the results of the vote darn nearly killed Rachael & Jo, they had spent nearly 15 pounds between them voting to keep G4 in! Hearing G4's name read out by Kate Thornton turned to girls into crazy loons & completely put all thoughts of the competition out of their minds.
As soon as the results show was over Rachael & Jo decided to toast G4 with yet one moregin. One turned into two...two into three, well you get the picture Jo's mobile started bleeping.

"Who the hell is that?" "Don't they realise that it's Saturday?" she screamed at no one in particular.

She picked up her phone & opened the message. She squealed.

"What?" asked Rachael. She watched Jo's face as she read more of the message. Then she let out on almighty scream.
"We won," she yelled, dancing around the room "we won, we won, we won. We're going to the live show next week"
"Oh my god, I can't believe it, we're going to be there," screamed Rachael "we're going to be in the same room as G4, breathing the same air as them!"

With the news they had just recieved & all thegin they had left to drink (not to mention the extra stock they had hidden!), Rachael & Jo went on partying all night.
