Chapter 4

-Ella's POV-

*flashback*

2 Years Ago

I ran as fast as I could from Riley. Desperately trying not to get drenched by the super soaker water gun he was chasing me with. I don't mind playing with the water guns, but Riley fills them with ice cold water, and its not exactly a warm day so getting soaked isn't going to be fun.

He was catching up to me fast and I know he is going to get me so there's really no point in running anymore...I'll just stop. 3...2...1

"ELLA!!! I GOT YOU!!!!" Riley cheered

Now I'm freezing...he's not getting off this easy. I'm dripping from head to toe...I think Riley needs a hug.

"Riley! Come here! I have to show you something." I said

"What is it El?" he asked

I didn't even respond I just wrapped my cold arms around him...that'll teach him.

"Ella! Stop you're freezing!" He gasped trying to wriggle out of my grip.

"You shouldn't have soaked me then" I laughed.

"Ok, ok I'm sorry. Let's go back to your house so you can get changed and then we can go get a hot chocolate or something" he said

-Riley's POV-

"What's so funny?" I asked Ella

She's sitting eating a bowl of cereal and she just starts smiling and laughing to herself.

"I was just thinking about when we were younger and you soaked me with the super soaker and then I got you back by hugging you while I was soaked and freezing." Ella told me.

"I remember that" I said starting to laugh with her.

While we were laughing I heard the radio playing and noticed that the DJ was talking about Justin Bieber coming to Canada for a mini tour. The show in Stratford is on September 18. That's Ella's birthday. I think I'm going to get her tickets. Since she has been dying to see him in concert for almost 4 years, now is the chance.

"El, I have to go do something. I'll be back" I said

"Ok...where are you going?" she asked.

"Surprise" I said running upstairs to find my laptop so I could get her the tickets.

I want to get her good seats and maybe get her close enough to be right by the stage. I logged on and went on the ticketmaster website. There they are, front and center tickets. I clicked on it and...I got them! I quickly used my credit card to pay for them and printed them out. This is going to be the best 16th birthday present anyone could get her. She is going to love it.

I heard a quiet knock on my door.

"Come in" I said

"Riley what on earth are you doing" my mom asked

"I had to get Ella's birthday present" I told her

"Oh what did you get her?"

"Front row seats to see Justin Bieber on September 18th" I said

"Oh she will love that sweetie" mom said

"I know." I smiled

-

"Ella?" I said as I knocked on her door.

"What's up?" she asked

"Well...I have something for you" I told her.

I wasn't exactly sure whether I should tell her about the tickets today or wait a while, but I can't keep this secret from her, so I'm telling her now.

"Oh really?" she questioned "and what might this something be?"

"Well...it might be front row seats for a Justin Bieber concert on September 18th" I smiled showing her the tickets.

"Riley...are you joking!!!!!" she screamed

"Nope. Happy very early birthday Ella" I laughed

"OH MY GOSH RILEY! THANK YOU SO MUCH!" she screamed. "you have no idea how much I love you"

Ella loves me...wait...what?
