I pant. What could he possibly want to talk about? "Hi. What do you want to talk to me about?" I wait for his response. "I know that Brianna leaked the photo of us, and I saw the mean comments and the hate pages. People can say whatever they want about you, but it doesn't change my feelings for you. I really care about you, and it hurt me when I saw those mean things about you. I don't want you to feel responsible for it, because, if anything, it's me. I was the one who chose you as my OLLG, and I'm glad I did. :)" I smile. "Awww oh my gosh you are the sweetest. I got really upset just a few minutes ago when I saw them." I wiped away my tears. "Don't cry. :( I need to see you before I leave on Friday. Today is Sunday, and its kinda late now, but how about Monday?" I think about what I'm doing tomorrow. "Monday should be fine. I don't go back to school until next week so that works."  Matthew is looking over my shoulder, which I don't mind, and groans at my mention of school. We will be juniors this year. Matthew turns 17 on August 4th, and I turn 17 on October 2nd. "Ok. I want to go out in public this time. Let's do something that you can only do in Cleveland." I think. What should we do tomorrow? I have an idea. "Ok. So you may not like this, but I want to take you into the city for most of the day. We can also go on a boat ride on the lake, then go to a restaurant on the lake, then take a walk on the beach. I know it may be hard cause of your fame, but I think it would be fun."  I hope he wants to do that. "Oh Austra. Your so cheesy. A walk on the beach, really?" He laughs. I punch him. "Shut up! Its fun!" '"I look at my phone. Justin hasn't replied yet. I sigh. "He is probably repulsed at the thought of you texting him." Matthew laughs evilly. I punch him again. Justin replies. "I just talked to Scooter and Moshe. That should be fine. We will probably be surrounded by 6 guards though, if thats ok with you." Matthew flicks me in the ear. "Hey!!" I punch him, again, for the 3rd time in 2 minutes. We both laugh. "Do you like him though?" Matthew asks. "What?" I look at him. He isn't joking, his face is serious. "Do you like him? It's not that hard of a question, even for you." I think about that for a second. "Well, like as a friend, as an idol, or like a crush?" Matthew looks at me like I'm the dumbest person on the planet. "As a crush, you uncultured chicken." I laugh at that one. But then I think. Do I like him? Not as my idol, but as a boyfriend? It is weird, thinking about it. It was just so natural, the way we were together. They way we talked, held hands, and cuddled. The way we made each other smile and laugh. I do like him, I really do. Its been a little hard for me to like anyone since my last relationship. There was this boy named Jake. We really liked each other, and he asked me out at a party. We dated since freshman year, and broke up 2 months ago, when I saw my used to be best friend, Eva, flirt with him. We got in a fight, and broke up. I was crushed. I have no regrets, cause if I was still with him, I wouldn't be faced with the wonderful opportunity that is facing me now. I look at Matthew, and I tell him. "Yes."

I can't wait for my day with Justin. It's Monday, and he is going to meet at my house at noon. It's 10 a.m. I dress like a celebrity, cause knowing the paps, there will be photos all over the internet.  I put on a tight, black, crop top, a black and white short skirt, sunglasses, a black sunhat, and black heels. I wear my hair down, and use a straight iron so it doesn't become frizzy. I look in the mirror, and I look like a celebrity. I grab my black, leather, shoulder strap purse. I take a picture for instagram. I have 200k followers now, thanks to the TV special and the leaked photo. I put on my makeup. I wear cherry red lipstick, gray, black, and silver eyeshadow, and I do a cat eye with my eyeliner. I walk downstairs to have breakfast. My little sister Lacey is sitting at the table, having breakfast. "Aus! You look so pretty! Like a celebrity!" I hug her. "Thanks Lace! Do you want to say hi to Justin when he comes?" She smiles and nods her head up and down. I laugh. "Honey, you look gorgeous." I look at Mom and see tears in her eyes. "Oh mom, not again!" I hug her. "Its just that, my little baby is all grown up,  and I'm getting to see her dreams come true." I wipe away her tears. "I love you mom." I hug her again. "I love you too. Want breakfast?" She hands me a bowl of Lucky Charms. I love Lucky Charms. Mom also was super nice and went to Starbucks after she went to the gym this morning, and got me a Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino. I FaceTime Brianna. "Hi Bri!" I say when she answers. "Hey. Where are you going today? You look so pretty." I can't wait to tell her.  "Justin and I are going to spend the day together in Cleveland! We are going to go on a yacht that Scooter got for us, shop around, go to festivals, go to dinner at a restaurant on the lake, and hang at the beach!"  She doesn't look as happy as I hoped she would. "Ok." I sit there, shocked. I'm spending the day with Justin Bieber, and all she says is 'ok', what? "Is that all your going to say? I mean, its Justin Bieber." She rolls her eyes. "Why didn't you invite me?"  I realized I forgot about Brianna when we were making plans. I mean, he did ask just me, and I do like him. "I think he forgot. He was the one who asked me to hang out, and I gave the idea. I guess we both forgot to mention you. I'm sorry." I hope she accepts that. "Ask him now then." "What?" She rolls her eyes again. "Ask him if I can go. Its not to late to say sorry for forgetting, and then we can all go," she tells me. "Umm. I don't want to be rude, but its just going to be Justin and I for today. I'm sorry." I look at her, then she huffs. "Fine whatever, I'm going to hang out with someone else anyway." "Ok. Who?" I ask. "Probably Lila." Oh, she's doing the classic "I'm mad at you for ignoring me so I'm going to hang out with another one of our friends just to make you jealous" move, even though I won't be jealous cause I'll be with Justin. "Ok! Have fun!" I give her a cheeky smile. "Do you even like him, like as a crush, sort of?" She asks me that. I'm a little surprised, considering she's upset about the whole situation. "Yes, I do like him. A lot." She hung up on me.

I come down at 11:45. I have been in my room for the past hour and a half. Mom, Dad, and Lacey are all downstairs, watching TV. I clap my hands. They all look at me. "I have an announcement to make." I wait for a few seconds. "Well, get on with it already!" I breathe in, and tell them. "I like Justin, not just as a friend, but like a boyfriend girlfriend relationship." Mom and Lacey both squeal. "I LOVE IT!! I LOVE ALL OF IT!!" Lacey screams. They both run up to me and hug me. "I hope you have a great day today, honey." Dad gets up and gives me a hug. "Don't worry, I will." There is a knock at the door. I smile, and we all get up to answer it. I open the door, and Justin is standing there. He is wearing black basketball shorts, a white t-shirt, and a black baseball cap. He smiles when he sees me. "You look gorgeous."He walks in and gives me a hug. "Thank you." I blush. "Hi Mr. and Mrs. Delaney. I must ask this, for Scooter's sake, but what are your first names?" Mom smiles. "I'm Tina, and my husband's name is Ken." Dad wraps his arm around Mom. "Thank you. Hi Lacey!" Justin gives Lacey a big hug. She looks as if she could burst. Justin picks me up by the waist and swings me around. Its not that hard. I'm almost 17, and I'm only 103 pounds, and I'm 5'2.  "Are you ready to have one of the best days of your life?!" I laugh. He puts me down. "Well, I've already had the best night of my life, so why not?!" We giggle. We say goodbye, and walk to his car. Its a white limo. We climb in, and Justin tells the driver where to go. "Where are the guards?" I ask. Its just us in the car. "They will meet us there. Don't worry, I  may be super famous, but I have the best bodyguards anyone could ask for. I'll keep you safe. Want something to drink?" He presses a button, and a mini-fridge opens up on the other side of the car. I hesitate getting up. The limo is tall, big, and very spacious. "Am I allowed to walk around?" Justin nods. I get up, and walk over to the mini-fridge. I grab a root beer, and a cup of ice cream from the mini-freezer on the top section of the mini-fridge. I sit back down, and Jusin presses another button.  A tiny flatscreen TV pops out of the side of the car, and Justin grabs a remote for it. We watch TV and talk the whole way there. He has his arm wrapped around me the whole time.
