Chapter 1
*Lilia's P.O.V*
I woke up around 8:15 and grabbed my glasses from my bedside table before doing anything else. I've been wearing glasses since I was eight years old. When I first got them I hated them, but now I don't mind them. I do wear contacts sometimes, though.
I checked my phone, before picking up my vlogging camera and turning it on to film myself. I don't always vlog, so I'm not a daily vlogger, but if I'm in the mood, I'll pick up my camera and film my day. Today I just happened to feel like vlogging.
"Good morning, my lovelies." I smiled into the camera, "I've just woken up so I'm just going to hop in the shower, get dressed and then I'll check back in with you guys." I turned off the camera and put it down, before going into the ensuite that was connected to my pistachio green coloured, Tumblr inspired bedroom. I turned on the shower and while I waited for the water to heat up, I got myself undressed before jumping in. I picked up my bottle of blueberry and vanilla shampoo and dolloped some into the palm of my hand before working it into my blonde hair and scalp. After that, I moved on to use the matching conditioner and finally, I washed my pale body with my cinnamon scented bodywash. It smelled very autumnal, which I loved because much like Zoe, autumn was one of my favourite times of year. It was also very fitting, as we were in October. Halloween was in a couple weeks, and I was beyond excited.
Anyways, once I was finished showering, I shut off the water and stepped out into my chilly bathroom. I wrapped my brown body towel around myself and my cream hair towel around my head, before going back into my bedroom, then into my walk-in wardrobe.
After spending at least ten minutes looking through my wide range of clothes, I decided to wear a creamy white jumper with a light pink neckline, pink around the bottom and at the end of the sleeves, as well as an adorable black drawing of a cat in the middle, a pair of black, high-waisted skinny jeans with six gold buttons at the top and crepe pink, suede Adidas Superstar trainers. I added a pair of (fake) diamond earrings with little rose gold cat whiskers and ears and a black velvet choker with a bow and a gold bell hanging from it. I decided to wear my glasses today, as I thought they went well with my outfit. Lastly, I put my hair into two French braids before grabbing my vlogging camera and going over to my makeup table.
"I decided to film while doing my makeup, so I could tell you guys the products I'm using." I said into the camera, before I began doing my makeup and explaining it as I went along. "Okie Dokie, now that I've got my face on," I smiled once I'd done my makeup and picked the camera up, holding it up at a nice angle, "Let's go downstairs." I went downstairs, still vlogging, and met Nala at the bottom of the stairs. I made a fuss of her, before going into the cosy room, which for those of you who don't know, is basically just our second living room.
"Morning, Zo." I greeted my sister, who was on the sofa on her laptop.
"Morning, Lils. Your jumper is so cute." She grinned, picking up her own vlogging camera which happened to be on the coffee table in front of her. She turned it on and started filming me, "Guys, how cute is Lilia's jumper?!" I just giggled, doing a playful little twirl for the camera. "Could you do me a favour and go wake Alfie up, please, Lils?" Zoe asked me.
"Yeah." I smiled.
"Thank you." She smiled back, before I went upstairs.
"How should I wake Alfie up, then, guys?" I asked with a mischievous look on my face. I entered Zoe and Alfie's room, where Alfie was fast asleep. I smirked at my camera as I set it down so the bed was in shot. I then got up onto the bed and started jumping up and down, "Alfie, wake up!" I yelled. Alfie soon woke up, rather startled and dazed.
"Really, Lilia?" He groaned, grabbing my ankle and causing me to topple over, landing on Zoe's side of the bed, giggling. I love Alfie like another brother and we treat each other like brother and sister most of the time.
"Zoe told me to come wake you up." I shrugged.
"But did you have to do it like that?" He asked groggily.
"Yup." I laughed, getting off the bed and grabbing my vlogging camera.
"You're such a pain in the ass." He said, sitting up in bed.
"But you love me anyway, right?" I batted my eyelashes.
"I suppose." He mumbled, making me grin.
"I'll see you downstairs." I said. He said okay before I left his and Zoe's room, smiling triumphantly into my camera, "I'd say that went pretty well." I went downstairs and back into the cosy room, "Alfie'll be down in a few."
"Okay." She said. I then realised I hadn't had breakfast yet so I turned my camera off for the time being and went into the kitchen, Nala following me.
"I don't know what you're following me for, you're not getting anymore food if Zoe's already given you breakfast!" I told Nala in the baby voice I always use when talking to her. I don't even realise I'm talking like it half the time, she's just so cute I can't help but do that voice.
I made myself some strawberries, raspberries and blueberries with natural yogurt and honey and once I was done making it I decided to film it.
"How good does that look?" I asked, showing the camera my breakfast masterpiece, "I'm going to go eat it now, so I'll see you guys in a bit." I grinned into the camera before turning it off. I took my bowl of fruity goodness and went back into the cosy room, where Zoe now had the TV on and was also still on her laptop. "What are we watching?" I asked my big sister, sitting next to her on the couch cross-legged.
"Last night's Emmerdale." She told me. I nodded, beginning to eat my breakfast. Emmerdale and Coronation Street were mine and Zoe's guilty pleasures (idk if Zoe watches soaps, let's just pretend she does😂). Alfie isn't quite as big of a fan, but we still force him to watch it every week night. Speak of the devil; Alfie walked in right at that moment, vlogging as per usual.
"Devil child." He glared playfully at me.
"Why is she a devil child?" Zoe laughed.
"She woke me up by jumping on the bed and yelling at the top of her blimming lungs!" He complained.
"Really?" Zoe giggled, "I wish I'd be there to see that!" I laughed along with Zoe, causing Alfie to pout.
"Do you see this, guys? They're ganging up at me!" Alfie whined to his camera.
"Hey, Lils?" Zoe stopped laughing, but still wore a smile on her face.
"Yeah, Zo?" I asked, a little suspicious as to what she was about to ask me.
"How would you like to go and stay with Jim and Tanya for a few days?" She asked me.
"Are you serious?!" I gasped excitedly. She nodded. "Yes! Of course!"
"That's good, because we're going down there tomorrow." She chuckled at my excitement. I loved going to London. It was a beautiful city and a lot of my favourite people lived there. Jim and Tanya, obviously and of course, Joe. I didn't get to see Joe all that much, so when I did, it was extra special to me.
"Why are we going, though? Don't get me wrong, I'm over the moon about it, but...why?" I asked curiously.
"We just figured you would like a little treat as it's half term." Alfie explained.
"Well, you figured right." I said, "Thank you!"
"It's okay." Zoe smiled.
"I guess I'll go and start packing then; how long are we going for?" Yes, I know it was only the morning and we weren't going until tomorrow, but it usually took me a while to pack as I had so much stuff.
"I'd say about three days. We'd stay for longer, but Alf and I have meetings and things over here." Zoe explained.
"That's fine." I beamed, before skipping off upstairs. As I got to my room, I turned my vlogging camera back on. "So, Zoe and Alfie have just dropped a bombshell by telling me we're going to Jim and Tanya's tomorrow, which I'm really excited about; you guys know how much I love London. Anyway, now I need to get packing." I said, before looking around my room, rather clueless. I then sighed and told the camera, "See this is what I hate about packing; I never know where to start!" After at least five minutes, I said, "I think this calls for professional help... Zoe!" Zoe was probably one of the most organised people I knew when it came to this sort of thing, so it's no surprise I would call for her. I heard her footsteps padding up the stairs and she was stood in my bedroom doorway in a matter of minutes.
"Yes?" She replied.
"Help." I practically begged. Zoe just chuckled and walked further into my room. I turned my camera off as it would be easier to pack without it and put it on my bedside table.
About an hour and a half later, we were nearly done and I turned my camera back on for a second.
"Okay, we're nearly done. All I need to pack now is toiletries and electronics, but obviously I'm going to need most of those things, so I guess I'll pack them tomorrow at the last minute." I told the camera, "And thank you to my wonderful big sis for helping me pack. I'd be sat here in a pile of clothes with no idea of what to do if it weren't for you." I said, holding my free arm out so I could give Zoe a side-hug.
"Aw, that's okay." Zoe smiled, "I think all our hard work deserves a little treat. How about me, you and Alfie go out for lunch? We could invite Poppy and Sean as well." She suggested.
"That sounds like a great idea." I grinned, before turning off my camera once again because my arm was beginning to ache from holding it up. Zoe and I went downstairs, and told Alfie about our plans, which he agreed to. We called Poppy and Sean and they said they'd meet us in town, so we all got ready and left the house. Zoe drove us into town, where we met Poppy and Sean and the five of us went into Jamie's. Once we'd sat down at a booth, I whipped out my vlogging camera. I swear, my life doesn't just consist of me turning my camera on and off, it just happens to seem that way today. "We're now at Jamie's, and look who's with us!" I pointed the camera at Poppy and Sean and the two of them waved. Sean also pulled a goofy face which I giggled at. "Sean's the only one without a sibling." I giggled spitefully, but obviously I wasn't seriously being mean.
"Why would I want a stinky old brother or sister, anyway?" Sean mumbled, playing along. I just laughed and so did everyone else. We stayed at lunch for a couple more hours and then we went out and just wondered around Brighton for a bit and I vlogged some bits and bobs along the way. Zoe, Alfie and I soon said goodbye to Poppy and Sean and went home. The rest of the day was pretty boring, but I still vlogged a little. Before I knew it, it was 10:30 and I decided to head to bed as I was getting tired.
"I'm off to bed." I announced, getting up from the sofa, where we'd all been watching Geordie Shore. Well, we were all actually on our phones, but it was still on in the background.
"Okay, see you in the morning." Zoe yawned, pretty tired herself as she gave me a hug and kissed my forehead, before I went over to Alfie.
"Sweet dreams, kiddo." He said, also hugging me and kissing my forehead, before I headed upstairs. I changed into some grey hedgehog pyjamas that said 'Hug Me' with a cute sleeping hedgehog on the top and little hedgehogs and hearts all over the trousers.
I quickly took my makeup off and brushed my hair, so it wouldn't be so knotty in the morning, before climbing into bed and turning on my vlogging camera so I could say goodnight.
"Okay, I'm going to end the vlog here guys, because I'm knackered." I laughed softly. For some reason, I always found the word 'knackered' funny. "I hope you enjoyed today's vlog; if you did, give it a thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't already. I'll probably vlog tomorrow, so I'll see you all then. Love you guys. Goodnight!" I put my camera down one last time and snuggled up under my covers, thinking about how excited I was for tomorrow.
