(Hey friends! This is my new book and I'm excited to be writing it! Hope you guys will tell me what you think and leave comments. Please share it so I can get people to know about it ☺ Love you all! xx)

Unbelievable. I've been driving around the building for almost ten minutes trying to find a parking space. If I keep circling the building looking for a spot, the damn bank is going to close!

It's starting to snow. This is early, even for us, to see any major amounts, but they're saying we could get several inches before it's all over.

I'm slowly moving forward down Martin Street. I could walk faster then this!

What the fuck are these people doing anyway?! Shouldn't they all be on the road by now...or at the damn market buying their turkeys?! It's the night before Thanksgiving!

You're not on the road, or buying turkeys.

I'm ON MY WAY to being on the road!

"Mia, I'm gonna just park in the Finney's parking lot and risk being towed. It can't take me more then ten minutes to cash my check." I say, giving up on finding a parking place near the bank.

Mia is my best friend and she's not happy I still haven't left for her house. She's waiting for me to pick her up. I can hear her 1D "Four" CD blasting in the background.

"Fucking stuck behind some fat lady who'd rather talk on her phone then drive her stupid ass Prius." I say, shooting daggers at her.

"You're on YOUR phone." Mia says, laughing.

"I can drive AND talk, thank you."

"Fine, but hurry up. I wanna get to Mom's, and then go look for the boys, and you still have to pick me up!" She says, from the other end of my cell phone.

"The show's not for two days!" I yell, honking at the fat lady. "Move your ass!"

"Thank you, Livvie, I'm aware. You know we said we'd get there a few days early and see if we can find out where they're staying!"

We're going to see One Direction. It's our first time seeing them. We saved for months to be able to afford the tickets. She and I wait tables at Balderdash. It's a steak house in Arthursburgh, Illinois, and it takes a lot of flirting and fake smiles to earn enough tips to buy tickets to see 1D. Their show's in Chicago, and we're going there today to see if we can hunt them down and find out where they're staying.

Yeah. So basically stalking.

It's also where Mia's parents live and where we'll be staying all weekend. It's twenty minutes outside of Chicago proper. Aurthursburg is an hour away. Aurthursburg is kind of this quaint little weird as shit town, more like a little village straight out of Sweden or something, that's way out of place in Illinois. It's super touristy though, at least in the summer. It's the nation's lily capital and home of the the Illinois Lily festival. It's really beautiful in the fall and winter too, but because of the weather, it doesn't get the tourists like in the summer.

"We're never going to find them. They're probably not even there yet, but we're not gonna be able to do shit if I can't get my check cashed!"

"People do find them! You see these fan pics all the time. They have to get them somehow, Livvie. Get your money and...hey, Mike just texted me. I'm ignoring it, obviously."
