It Only Took One Tweet

-Prologue-

-August Skye's POV-

@Real_Liam_Payne i'm 16 today I'd love it if you said happy birthday to me! I've supported you since 2008 and One Direction are amazing!

Tweet sent. My fingers are literally shaking with nerves and excitement. I have now tweeted all five of them and one of them has to be online. Come on, this has to work. One of them has to reply to my tweets. I have been trying since they competed on the X Factor to get a tweet, retweet, favourite, follow, anything! I have watched the X Factor since two thousand and five and I have never seen such a great group. Their voices blend so well together, everyday their performances play inside my head like I have a tape on constant repeat.

Please, please, please reply. I'm constantly refreshing my mentions eagerly waiting for a tweet from them. It's my sixteenth birthday today and nothing would make me happier than seeing a tweet from them. I'm currently drumming my fingers furiously on my desk in anticipation; I hope I do not wake up my twin with this noise or she will not be happy with me, whether it's our birthday or not. Summer really isn't a morning person, which is why my family never come into our room before ten O'clock.

My legs are now beginning to shake and my stomach is getting all jittery; I have never wanted them to tweet me back so bad. I cannot describe my emotions right now, it’s like a tornado is swooping through my brain and body. Why do they do this to me? I would kill for the opportunity to follow my dreams like they have theirs; it's so hard to get into the performing arts. It's because of their sheer determination that I look up to them. They never once gave up and I won't too.

Oh, come on. This is really getting ridiculous now; I can't stay at this computer all morning. I have waited so long to tweet them 'It's my birthday' it is unreal. It's only nine thirty-five in the morning surely someone’s...

@1DirectionOnly Happy Birthday! Thank you for all your support :)

Oh. My. God. Like OMG, he replied! The Liam Payne from One Direction replied. I don't know what to say. What do I reply? Oh come on, think of something quick. Err... I actually cannot think straight; this is just the best thing that has ever happened to me. A stupid smile is probably plastered all across my face, stretching my facial muscles to their limit. I can't get my fingers to lay straight on the keys, this has made my day! I know it's only just started but nothing, I mean nothing can top this.

@Real_Liam_Payne Thank you so much! Can't believe you actually replied :) x

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!" I squeal like an over excited child. I just cannot contain my feelings - I am not keeping quiet about this. Stuff Summer and her precious sleep. I am going to let all this energy out no matter what. All I feel is complete and utter euphoria. I cannot stay still. I am now jumping, skipping, and twirling around my room, well shared room, in possibly the least graceful manner and making as much noise as a herd of elephants. My hands have gone all jazz-like, twisting about my wrist, with my fingers spread wide apart. This is what I call a celebration.

"Jesus Augs, why the hell are you making so much noise?" I hear from across the other side of the room. I turn my head around to see a rather sleepy and grumpy looking Summer staring at me with a combination of utter disbelief and total annoyance.
