Make It Happen

You sat on your bed staring out of your window thinking about your mate having fun at a local gig, whilst you were sat at home bored to death with a sprained ankle. Suddenly your phone beeped and made you jump. 'Hey hun. The gig is so amazing. You should be here. C u soon x.x' 'Thanks ..' you mumbled quietly to yourself looking down at your foot. 'Stupid foot' you thought and then laughed quietly at what you had said. It wasnt your fault anyway. That stupid cow had tripped you up in PE the other day ending you up in hospital with a bad sprain and a week on a crutches. You rolled over with the intention of getting changed for bed. As you did your eyes fell on the Busted poster on your wardrobe. His face still made you feel as fuzzy inside. ".." you said softly. "I want you so badly..." You stared at his face for a while then shook your head, laughing in your head at the stupid thought. Pulling on a big t-shirt to sleep in you caught his gaze again. "Why do I keep thinking I wana be with him...he dont even know me." you asked yourself. "Oh pull yourself together. It aint happening!" you told yourself firmly as you lay on your bed, switched off the lamp and turned over to go to sleep.

The next morning you awoke squinting at the bright sun shining through your curtains. Sleepily you looked at your watch. 10.25. "Good..I didnt miss Top of the Pops Saturday.." you thought rolling over. Half an hour later you were still lay in bed but with a bowl of and some toast with jam. You watched the titles for TOTPS munching on your cereal. "And today on the show we have Black Eyed Peas performing their new single, Blue, Maroon 5 and Busted!" the presenter read out. Your ears seemed to prick up at the mention of your favourite ever band and from then on your attention was fixed on the TV. You impatiently watched several bands perform and then they were there. You crawled forwards on your bed to get closer to the screen. The presenter was joking about with them and kept laughing. God he was sooo fit. And that top looked really nice on him. 'And you've got great news for your thousands of fans out there havnt you?' the presenter said. 'Um yeah..' said. 'We are giving you and one of your mates the chance to meet us and spend a day with us in the studio.' Your jaw dropped. An entire day?? 'All you gotta do is text the the number on the screen (you picked up your mobile immediately) with the answer to the following question:' said pointing at the number on the screen. Then spoke. 'Which record label are we signed to?' (Your hand had automatically begun typing 'Universal Island Records' into your mobile). 'Be the first to text in and you win!' finished. (Your finger jabbed hard at the 'send' button as you prayed to God you had won.) 'Thank you boys. We will announce the winner after you've performed. Now get on stage and do us proud!' the presenter said playfully as the lads ran to the stage. The introduction to 'Thunderbirds Are Go' began playing at the same time as a huge grin spread onto your face. As they played you couldnt help thinking 'What if I win??' You sang along and laughed when James tripped on his mic stand when suddenly you realised that the song had finished and that the presenter was walking on to the stage. You breathed in deeply and closed your eyes as announced the winner. 'OK guys... the winner is.... . The world stopped. It went quiet. Your brain seemed to have stopped altogether. You shook your head and your eyes focused on the screen. There it was, your name on the telly with Busted. And then slowly the numbness in your head began to fade and it clicked. You had won. You were going to meet Busted....and that meant you were meeting !!!

A huge scream deafened you. '!!! Calm down. You nearly deafened me then!' you gasped down the phone. 'Calm down?? Calm down???' she exclaimed. 'How do you expect me to be calm? You're meeting Busted for fucks sake!!' she squealed. Wow. You were. 'I know..' you said not believing it. The conversation lasted for a while longer before you both hung up. The day after you recieved a letter in the post giving you all the details of what was surely going to be the best day of your life ever. You and friend () were getting picked up at 9.00am on Monday 23rd August and being taken to some recording studios close to the city you lived in. The day would be spent mostly watching the lads recording a few new tracks for their upcoming album and then going for dinner afterwards. You spent the next weeks re-reading the letter over and over and watching the tape you had recorded the 'moment' on. came to stay at your house the night before and you stayed up late talking about what you were going to wear, what the lads would be like, what they'd be like when recording.. Eventually you both turned over to go to sleep. As you did your eyes fell on that oh-so-familiar poster on your wardrobe and you couldnt help thinking 'What if something happens tomorrow?' And once again you shook your head to remove this absurd idea from your mind and closed your eyes.

*Beep beep beep* *Beep beep beep* Sleepily you switched off your alarm and rolled over to see gazing up at you bleary eyed. 'W-w-well to-day is the day..' you said failing to stifle a yawn. 'Hmm' replied yawning herself. You both dressed quickly (well fairly quickly..after all you did have 4 outfits to decide from!) and were waiting patiently in the front room when the doorbell rang. Nearly running you both made your way to the door. 'Hi!' you said with the biggest grin on your face as you opened the door. The man standing on the other side grinned and laughed, 'You girls excited?'. 'Well, um yeah.' mumbled looking at the floor. 'Well come on then..' the man said still laughing whilst he walked towards a smart black car. The journey to the studios was quite funny. Ed, the driver kept making jokes and Tony, the man who had laughed at you both before did impressions of Busted..well kind of impressions!! 'Well here we are!' Ed announced pulling up outside a officey-looking building with a sign saying 'River Music Studios'. You and both climbed out of the car and followed Tony into the building. He told you to sit in the reception area whilst he went up to the desk, spoke to the receptionist and returned to you both with 2 clip on badges with 'VIP' typed on them. grinned at you as you clipped on the badge to your top. Wow. VIP. 'Right girls. If you'll excuse me now.' Tony said smiling. 'What?' you blurted out. 'I-I mean. Where are you going?' you said quickly regaining your calmness. He smiled again. 'I am only here to bring you to the venue. The rest of the day you spend with the boys..' he explained. 'Who are just in there.' Your stomach gave a funny jolt as you looked at the door Tony was pointing at. 'B-Busted are in t-that room??' you stuttered. was also gawping at the door, obviously as shocked and as nervous as you. 'Want me to introduce you?' Tony said obviously sensing the shock you were both in. 'Um..yeah please.' you said grinning.

Tony walked to the door and you and shuffled forwards behind him both silent with shock. *Knock knock* 'Come in!' called a deep voice. You both looked at each other. It was Charlie. Tony opened the door and walked in. 'Hey guys. Ive brought the girls from Top of the Pops competition to see ya...' he said looking at you both. You walked into the softly lit room to see and smiling at you and messing with his guitar. 'Hey!' said grinning. 'Yeah hi!' said walking a bit closer to you both. You chanced a glance at to see her gawping at . 'Oi... !' shouted. looked up and immediately your eyes met. 'Oh my god' you thought. You felt your knees go weak as if you were about to fall to the floor. 'Oh hey..sorry!' he said apologetically putting down his guitar. The lads all walked over to you and and hugged you both. As you and hugged you glanced at who was now grinning from ear to ear. She caught your glance and smiled even wider. 'Right... I'll be gettin off then!' Tony announced. 'Ah right.. cheers mate!' Matt said patting him on the back. The other lads said bye and Tony left. You and were both stood in the middle of the room slightly stiff, not really knowing what to do. 'You look kinda nervous..' said laughing. 'Please dont be... God we havnt even asked you your names!' he continued sounding surprised. 'Oh erm.. Im ' you said trying not to sound nervous but almost certain you were. 'And Im ..' she said just as self-aware. 'Well sit down. You dont need to be statues!' said grinning. Wow. That smile was even more amazing in real life. You really were about to just faint..but instead you walked over to the nearest sofa and sat, followed. All 3 of them were looking at you. 'What happens now then?' you ventured breaking the awkward silence. 'Oh right. Yeah.' said. 'Well.. the studio aint ready for us just yet so we're just gonna chill in here for a while. K?' You nodded. 'Thats cool' said still grinning. 'Right.. OK then. you wana carry on with that song then?' asked picking up his guitar. You and had been looking at each other since you sat down. It was only when had mentioned his name had you broken your gaze. 'Wha? Oh um yeah...' he said looking back at and picking his guitar up aswell. As he did and grinned at each other.
