Today is Saturday the day of the concert. I woke up at 9:30. I'm wearing a white tanktop and fuzzy mickey mouse pajama bottoms. Right now i'm in the living room watching TV while eating my favorite cereal, Lucky Charms. It was about 10 when i finished. Then i went upstairs, replaced my pajama bottoms with some black sweat pants and decided to go on a walk. I walked through the door on my way back from the walk. It was about 10:35 now so i went up into my bedroom and decided to use this time to tidy up my room a little. 

I plugged my i phone 5 and blasted the Letting Go & Short Story Long EP's on shuffle. To be honest it was kind of weird to hear you best friend who you've grown up with your whole life singing. But they were pretty good. Who am i kidding they are amazing. I always new Riley could sing amazingly. When i was sad or couldn't go to sleep he would sometimes comeover and sing to me. I danced around my room making a fool outta myself while cleaning up. I threw all my dirty clothes in the hamper. By the time i was done it was about 11:40 and my room was spotless. I went downstair and grabbed a swifter duster from the cleaning closet and ran back into my room. I dusted all on my shelves and on top of my dresser and my blinds. I guess you could kind of call me a neat freak most of the time. My room always had to look like it was from a model home. i took pride in it. 

Lastly i went to my nightstand and picked up my favorite picture frame that held a picture of Riley and I. I was about 5'6" then. It was a few days before I left. It was on my phone and i had it printed. It was at Rileys house in there backyard. Riley was shirtless looking pretty hot it you asked me. And i can't believe i just tought that. He's me friend!!! "Whatever" i said to myself and pushed the thoughts aside.

**FlashBack**

"Riley McDonough! Don't you dare think i about it or i will murder you" I yelled as i ran away from Riley because i could see it in his eyes he was planning something. 

I turned around and couldn't see him anywhere. Next thing i knew i was lifted up by my waist as if i was a fezther being lifter up and thrown over someone's shoulder. I knew just who it was. I yelled for Riley to put me down but he didn't do anything. I felt the very sharp pain as if a dozen needles were going through my skin. The water was so cold my arms and legs went numb and i couldn't move barely. I heard Riley laughing at me. 

"Riley you are so dead!" I yelled trying to move over to him.

I swear my arms were turning blue. I swam over as fast as i could to Riley and he didnt run away from me. The only thing i could do was hug him. I wrapped my arms around his waist and burried my head in his neck. The heat from his body was the only thing keeping me warm. I started to sniffle alittle and almost cry. Riley had wrapped one arm around me and started to swim. 

"I'm sorry Sienna, i didn't know it was this cold" he said apologetically and i knew that he ment it because he could see what pain i was in. 

he was struggling to swim to the other side so i climmed on his back like a piggy back ride. I wrapped my legs around his torso and and my arms around his neck. I relaxed and laid my head on his back as he stepped up the steps out of the water. I still woulnd't get off though as i was still sort of numb. 

"Sienna you can get down now, hahaha"

"right" i said nervously as i hopped off. i criss crossed my arm as i was still freezing. Riley came back over and put a warm towel around me. 

"Thanks" i said gladly pulling it around me. 

The towel was really big and i could see Riley was still freesing. 

"Don't you have a towel too?" i asked Riley. 

"No i'm fine i'd rather you have it"

That was so sweet of him i thought to myself.  I put my hand out and ran over to the lit fire pit. We sat in front of the fire sharing the long towel around us cuddled close together as the sun started to set. 

**End of FlashBack**

Even though that day was terrible it was still amazing. I knew that Riley would never mean any harm.       When i was arounf riley i felt like nothing else in the world exsisted. Like i could never be hurt. I felt safe and protected. And that day was the first day that i realized that i had feelings for Riley McDonough. But i never though far beyond that after all i was only 12 :(  and there was a age difference. Not that big of one though. Only 2 years, but still it didin't seem right that young. 

I pushed all the thoughts away and thought about tonight. Tonight was the night i get to suprise Riley McDonough.
