The boys and I walk out of the car and the fans start cheering. It was so amazing. I stopped to take some pictures with them until I got to my seat inside the mall. Luke, Ashton, Michael, and I are performing a concert here in Seattle in a few days, we're pumped!

The line starts to move while we sign and take pictures with the fans.

"Hi! I'm Rylie and this is Jessica!" This 'Rylie' gestures to her friend. I recognize her instantly.

"Uh yeah.. Hi. I'm Jessica." She awkwardly waves.

"I know." I whisper.

"What?" She looks at me like I'm crazy.

"Nothing. So.. Pictures? Autographs?" I ask.

"Pictures." The Rylie answers. I stand up and take a selfie with them. "Thanks!" She squeals and goes on to Mikey.

"I guess I'll get a picture on my phone too." Jessica pulls out her phone and hands it to me to take a selfie with her. I snap and picture and give it back to her. "Thanks. Can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"Why do you look so familiar. I swear, I've seen you in real life before. When I was still in Sydney." She says.

"Um.. I don't know." I lie.

"Oh okay." She moves on to Mikey and I continue taking pictures and signing autographs.

"It's so weird." I say as we get out of the mall. "I swear I know them. But from where?" I knock on my head. "Come on brain, REMEMBER!"

"You're just gonna hurt yourself." Rylie pulls my balled hands away from my head. "Wouldn't it be weird if you dated one of them?" She asks.

"Yes. Why would I have dated one of them? Why would they have dated me?" I question.

"I don't know, just a thought." Rylie shrugs.

"What's his face, the asian looking one. Calum? I asked him if I knew them from somewhere and he said no. So either he's lying, or telling the truth."

"First of all, Calum is not asian." Rylie states. "He's kiwi and scottish."

"Okay... But what do you think? Do you think he's lying or not?" I ask.

"I'm not sure, it's not like I know him or anything." Rylie answers.

"Ugh I need the answers!" I look at my bitten painted nails. "Just one little nibble.." I slowly move my fingers towards my mouth but they get slapped out just centimeters away from me biting them.

"No!" Rylie holds my hands down.

"Please." I whine.

"No." She says sternly.

"Fine." I spin on my heel and run back to the mall, not sure why. Maybe I just need to talk to Calum. I walk into the mall with Rylie right behind me. A crowd of girls fill my vision, they're mobbing the boys. I'm guessing the band needs to go or something. Maybe I can make a distraction for them...

I look around for a fire alarm and find one right by the front doors. I pull it and loud blaring alarms fill my ears. The fans and everyone else runs out of there. I just stay by the door waiting for the group of boys to run out. I stop Calum.

"Just so you know, that was a distraction." I say.

"I know, it's not like you haven't done it before. I mean the distracting part." He shrugs.
