"I don't think I can make it. Sorrymy boyfriend texts me the same thing for the 10th time now. About a year ago I met Nate on Facebook. He messaged me and said I was the prettiest girl he had ever seen. From there we really clicked. We talked every day over text until a few months ago I had asked him if we could see each other, after that we became more distant. Every time we make plans to meet he cancels them.
"Alright. I love you" I told them text back with a sigh. He doesn't reply as usual. I have thought about this for a couple months now but I feel like it's finally time. I go to google and type in "I think I'm being catfished" I find the link and it gives me an email address. I click on it and I begin my email to them 

"Dear Nev and Max, 

       I need your help! I've been with this guy I met on Facebook for a year now. It was going great until I started asking to see him. Every time we made plans he would cancel them last minute. I've been thinking about doing this for a couple months ago but I never had the guts because I always believed his stories. The first time I asked he agreed immediately, do I flew to Chicago where he lives. After I got there he said he had to cancel because his mother was in the hospital. I felt bad so I didn't get mad. He's helped me get through a lot. I've told him all my secrets and he had told me his. I have fallen for him so hard, I told him I loved him and he said it back once or twice but he doesn't say it anymore. Anyways, if you get this I really need your help. 

Send 

After I send it, I sit back in relief. Now all I do is wait. I shut my computer lid and get out my phone. 

"Do you love me?" I send to Nate. 

"Of course, I've told you that" 

"Then say it."

"Why should I? You know I do" 

"Never mind I guess" I sigh.

My phone dings, telling me I have an email and my heart starts to race. 

"Hi (y/n), Nev here. Max is busy with his movie but will be back soon. I have a guest celebrity with me to do host. I got your email (obviously). Your story is really interesting but first I would like to know a little more, is it okay if we skype? If so, could you give me your skype name. 

-thanks Nev" 

I get really excited and instantly send back an email with my skype name. Soon I get a skype call and hit answer and then go to my computer.

"Hi!" Nev's face pops up on my computer screen. 

"Hello" I wave back. 

"So, as I told you I don't have max with me but, I do have a very special co host, (y/n) meet Harry Styles from the band One Direction" he introduces him. Harry's face comes on screen, he's holding a small camera in his hand and then he waves. I wave back and hold in my scream.

"Hi Harry" I smile. 

"Hello" he says in his cute British voice.

"So tell us a little more about your relationship" Nev insists. 

"Okay...so  I met Nate back in 2014. He messaged me randomly saying I was really pretty. Of course I messaged him, I mean I was nervous at first but I'm glad I did it cause we really hit it off. After a couple of weeks he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yeah. He gave me his number and we texted back and forth for a few months. Just randomly..." I pause. "We got to know each other very well. After 4 months, I told him I loved him. He said it back, I remember that day so well. He helped me through my grandmothers death and I helped him through my his mother being sick." 

"And then something happened?" Nev adds and I nod. 

"I asked him if I could come see him. He said yes, he acted all excited and then when I got to Chicago he said his mother was sick and in the hospital. I felt bad and offered to come see him so I could be there for him. He said no...I came back here. And so began the making plans to meet and the last minute cancellations. After a while he even stopped saying I love you....but I just let it happen because he was always there for me when I needed him. You guys were my last resort" I shrug finishing my story. 

"Sounds like you've been through a lot...well I'd love to come down there and visit...it's cool if we film right?" 

"Yeah it's cool" I nod.

"We'll see you tomorrow" he says good bye and I wave. I can't believe I'm actually doing this...I sigh and sit back. 

      To be continued....? Maybe.
