Lauren
Jordan's mom is fine. Jordan, being the girl that she is, poured the entire bucket of ice from the fridge onto her mom. Naturally, Mrs. Caudell awoke with a jolt.
"Jordan! What's going on?" Mrs. Caudell asked.
Jordan didn't want her mom to pass out again, so she started screaming. "Oh my gosh! Mom! It's Harry and Niall! Ahhhh!!!"
That response, Mrs. Caudell could take.
"Oh honey. You met them at their concert. I paid for the front row tickets!" She said dismissively.
"Leslie," Mrs. Huhn began. "Look at them."
Jordan's mom walked over to Haz and Nialler, and began touching Haz's hair and making them talk so she could hear the accents she had learned soon after us.
"You're really them?" She asked astonished.
"In the flesh!" Harry said comically.
Jordan, Niall, and I laughed.
"How did you start dating them, girls?" Mrs. Huhn asked quizzically.
"Shi- stuff happens, and life goes on?" I said. Thankfully, our moms didn't catch my slip. It's just a saying, right? And I don't actually cuss...
Harry and Niall looked away sheepishly.
"What exactly happened in London?" Mrs. Caudell asked. " I want the whole story, Jordan."
Jordan groaned and sat on the couch. "Sit down, mom," she began. "Okay. So really nothing happened until after the concert. Lauren and I forgot to call a cab..." Jordan told her mom everything that had happened, minus the part of her and Niall's fight.
"Do you know what your coach is going to say, young lady? You're one of the best on the team! You could've been out for the season. And you know better than to dive into murky water! That's completely dangerous!"
"I know. I know," Jordan mumbled.
"Alright. Well, Mary, didn't you say you had a scrapbook to show me?"
"Oh, yes! I did. It's from our vacation to Italy this summer! Wasn't it amazing, Lauren?" Mom said as she led Mrs. Caudell upstairs.
"Who wants to watch a movie?" I asked. "We have Beaches, The Last Song, When Calls the Heart, Footloose, This Is Us..." I trailed off listing the movies on top of the Blu-ray.
"Beaches! Or The Last Song! I love those movies!" Jordan jumped up from the couch.
"Okay, let's have a vote," I said. "All for The Last Song say aye." Harry raised his hand. "And all for Beaches?"
Jordan and Niall raised both their hands; he knows it's her absolute fave.
"Beaches it is!" I call.
"Yes!" Niall and Jordan high five.
Closer to the end of the movie I suppose, Jordan gets antsy.
"Omg! It's coming up!" Jordan is hopping up and down at this point.
"What is?" Harry asked. He's the only one who hasn't watched this with her.
"Wind Beneath My Wings!" She can't sit still.
"Huh?" Haz is still confused.
"Her favorite song!" Niall and I say.
"Oh!" He says and is quiet now.
"Listen, she might start singing!" I whisper to Niall and Harry.
They both nod in response.
Sure enough, Jordan sings along.
"Did you ever know that you're my hero?... You are the wind beneath my wings!" She sings.
Oh my goodness! It sounds so pretty. Now, she's crying. It's her favorite part of this sad, beautiful, tragic movie. How little all of us knew that our lives were about to become sad, beautiful, and tragic love affairs.
