Before I knew it, it was the day before the concert.

Kat and I woke up around 8:00 and got ready. We then went down stairs to eat breakfast with our friends and the rest of the crew.

I found my seat between Kat and Harry and set my waffle down, mentally preparing myself for the teasing I was going to get from Harry about my waffle.

"Good morning, sunshine," Harry grinned, taking a sip of his orange juice and glancing at my waffle.

"Helloooo," I said in a sing-song voice. "What? No comments about my waffle this morning?"

"You know, eating a banana would be a much healthier option," Harry winked.

"Three things," I said, holding up three fingers. "First of all, you can't pick on me about my obsession with waffles, because you are obsessed with bananas. Second, don't dis the waffles. And third, do I look like I care about healthy?"

"Fine," Harry laughed, shaking his head. "How about we combine them and make banana waffles?"

Now, I really like banana waffles, but I wasn't going to let Harry know that.

"Eww, no!" I laughed trying to push him away.

However, Harry was stronger than me and smashed a banana onto my waffle.

"Harrryyyy," I groaned. "You got banana all over the place. That waffle was perfectly unhealthy, and now you ruined it!"

Obviously, I ate anyways because there was no way I was letting a waffle go to waste. It was really good, but again I wasn't going to tell Harry that. Harry and I ended up sharing it because I "didn't like it" and harry claimed that it was his banana.

After breakfast, the boys had rehearsals, so Kat had to be there and I just tagged along to watch.

While the boys were onstage practicing, which consisted of more messing around than singing, Kat and I lounged in the front row and talked. Every once in a while, we would be quiet so Kat could shout directions at the boys, or so I could jam out.

"So, you and Liam, huh?" I asked, wiggling my eyebrows.

"What about me and Liam?" Kat blushed, avoiding eye contact and glancing at the boy in question.

"You two are constantly flirting, and it's totally obvious that you like each other," I said, nudging her elbow.

"What? No, we don't flirt! Plus, he could have any girl in the world. Why would he like me?"

"You are so blind," I laughed. "First of all, you're amazing and beautiful, that's why. Secondly, you know that cute smile he does when he is really happy or talking about something he cares about, and his eyes get all squinty? That adorable smile that melts you heart?"

"Well, duh."

"He gets that same smile whenever he looks at you."

"What? Really?" Kat asked, glancing at Liam and catching him staring at her.

"Yes, really! And I can tell that you like him too, right?"

"I-"

"Kat! Jen!" Louis called, cutting off Kat's answer. "Come up here!"

"What? Why?" I asked.

"No questions, just get your butts up here!" Louis commanded.

"Sir, yes sir," I saluted, and then we climbed up the side stairs and onto the stage.

"What's up buttercups?" I asked at the same time Kat asked, "Where's Harry?"

"Right here!" Harry said, pulling two stools to the center of the stage. "Have a seat."

Kat and I sat down awkwardly, still not knowing what was going on. The boys gathered in front of us. They all made eye contact, and then harry started to sing.

"If I could fly..."

I gasped. "If I Could Fly" was my favorite song off of Made In the A.M. and was definitely in my top three all-time favorite 1D songs. And Harry knew that.

Kat seemed to be enjoying herself. She was used to the boys and had a calm smile on her face. She was only really paying attention to Liam, who was singing right to her. It was obvious what her answer to my question would have been.

I, on the other hand, was a mess. I was a little star-struck all over again. Their beautiful faces and voices made butterflies flutter in my stomach, and the way Harry was smiling and looking right at me made my heart soar. I was blushing like crazy and smiling like an idiot.

This was the best day of my life.
