When they Stole my Heart

Casey, Casey, Casey. I hear someone whisper. Then, louder. Casey, Casey, CASEY! "WHAT?!" I jolt up out of bed. Oh. Huh. I wonder what that dream was about. Huh, weird. We'll, it's not weirder than my hometown, that's for sure. I live in this town that no one hardly knows about. Because it's called Small Town U.S.A. Ok, so yeah I pretty much live in one of the smallest towns there is, but at least it's not a rural town. It's not like I'm in the middle of nowhere or anything. But, sometimes I feel even more lonely. Not because it's a small town, but because I don't have very many friends either. Except for my best friend Lauren, who I have known since preschool. She's about it. Don't get me wrong, she's the best friend I could ever ask for,but...she's always busy after school, and on the weekends. Always has her own stuff to do. I don't blame her, but I just don't do all the extra activities that she does.But, Lauren has made me become OBSESSED with One Direction, so ok I'm not lonely all the time when I listen to their music, look at tweets, videos, or auditions, (read fanfics 😉) and more importantly when I kiss my cardboard cutout of Liam.Oh Liam. I would give anything to meet them. With me not having many friends, it's a whole other part of me. A safe(ok, not ALWAYS safe) part of me that I can look to. That I can rely on. That even if they don't know me they'll be there, and it's kind of like a secret friendship that they don't know about.

But I just hope that some day, they will.

•A few days later•...

Every year the Y in town has a Swim Party. Almost everyone in town comes to it every year, and tickets are $5.All the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society. The Y wants teenagers to help raise money for snacks to sell and pool toys for the kids to play with. It's actually pretty fun because Lauren always goes too. This year Lauren and I are volunteering to help raise money for the event. Every year the Y pays for a surprise celebrity to come and perform. It's pretty cool. Last year Bruno Mars came. BRUNO. MARS! Ok so he's no One Direction, but he's pretty cool. But come on, there's no way One Direction could be there. A- It'd be too much money. B-It's the first week of July, and they're on their Where We Are tour in Europe right now. Besides, they don't even come NEAR here on their tour. The party is scheduled to be August 1st. And August 1st is when they start their North American part of the tour off in Canada. It's not like they're going to cancel a concert. So, there's no way. 😭 Sadly.😔Of course Lauren keeps on texting me the possibilities anyway."Casey, ONE DIRECTION could be the surprise celebrity... Group!"

"Come on Lauren you and I both know they're not gonna come. The night of the party is when they are in Canada, and they're not going to cancel a concert."

"Unless it's for a really good reason! And helping raise money for cancer is a great reason!" she argues.

"Yeah...I guess so."

"We'll, bye see ya tomorrow 😝"

"KK bi Laurennn ✌️"

Tomorrow Lauren and I are having a bake sale/ lemonade stand at her house to raise money for the Y party.I keep on thinking the possibilities through my head- COULD One Direction really be there? Or am I just trying not to get my hopes up incase they aren't? Probably a little bit of both. Seeing them would mean the world to me. I know this is every other girls' dream to, but when they're your only friends besides one you had in preschool, it's...different. Especially when you can't see or talk to them. Besides, my family's not rich or anything, and even if they did come close to here, they wouldn't be able to buy me tickets. Sometimes I feel hopeless even liking them in the first place. They're the best thing that's ever happened to me, but I know there's no possible way I could possibly ever see them. Then, to fit perfect with the situation, I turn on Half A Heart to the chorus.

And being here without you, is like I'm waking up to-Only half a blue sky we're kinda there, but not quite. I'm walking around with just one shoe I'm half a heart without you.

I sigh. Diddo.

Hi guys! This is my first Wattpad book so please hang in there with me if this isn't good, if I have a ton of errors, or if I don't update but like once every week or 2 because I have a really busy afternoon schedule. Thanks! 😝Sorry I know this wasn't real exciting, but I promise the next chapter will be better!

P.S. It is not weird that I kiss my cardboard cutout. If you had one, you would too. And if you do have one, you get what I'm talking about😂
