I was being shaken awake.

I sat straight up in my bed from being startled. I turned to see who it was that woke me, and of course it had been Emma.

 My vision went all black for a few seconds from sitting up too fast.

"Emma, what is so urgent that you have to wake me up?" She threw my phone at me. "What am I looking at?"

"Just check everything on instagram, including the picture I posted yesterday." Emma was grinning at me.

I opened instagram on my phone and saw I have thousands of notifications, and hundreds of new followers. And my phone is continuing to be spammed with likes and comments on all of my posts. I scroll to Emma's post from last night and like it. She has 1073 comments and 123,769 likes.

"Oh my god Emma. You are officially known by the world," I say going to check how many followers she has. 150 thousand. I check my profile to see that I have 98 thousand followers. Clicking on my recent photo, it shows that I have 1,546 comments and 76,000 likes to the exact number.

"So are you!" She says looking at my expression that is obviously shocked.

"When am I going to have time to go through all these comments? And this is only one post. Oh my gosh. Knowing One Direction apparently has a big affect on your life, mainly instagram," I trail off. "Hey, how did I end up in my bed?" I asked realizing I was last on the couch with Harry. "And where did Liam and Harry go?"

"Harry carried you up last night, and Liam put me in your parent's bed," she says awkwardly. "I don't know if they're still here or if they left. But I heard Dylan get home around six this morning, and that's what woke me.

I look at the clock on my phone and it says it's only seven thirty. "Ugh, it's so early," I say plopping back down on my bed.

I pull the covers over my head and notice that I'm still in the dress I was wearing from yesterday.

"I'm going to shower," I tell her. "Be out in a few."

Once my hair is dry I straighten it, and that's when I hear Emma rummaging around in my closet. It's a good thing we wear the same size, so we can borrow clothes from each other whenever.

I put on black eyeliner, light gold eye shadow, and mascara, then I step into my closet in my bathrobe.

"I like your hair," Emma says.

"Thanks." I put it half up with a little bump to give it some volume.

"Want to go to the mall today?" Emma asks me.

"Sure," I tell her.

While Emma showers, puts on her makeup and does whatever else she needs to, I'm in my closet trying to figure out what to wear.

I end up finding a pink skirt with gold dots on it, and a white shirt with black, cursive writing saying 'NYC.'

Emma comes out with her completed look wearing jeans and a blue strapless shirt.

"Aren't you going to get cold?" I ask her.

"I have a jacket just incase," she smiles.

It's ten when we get to the mall, which is the time it usually opens. Surprisingly, there are a lot of people waiting by the doors to be let in.

We walk around Forever Twenty-One for quite a while and pick up a couple of things.

We also stop by Hollister, Delia's, and Charlotte Russe. By then it's noon, and we're hungry.

Walking to the Panda Express, someone steps us.

"Excuse me," the guy said.

"Hi," Emma says. I just smile.

"Are you Emma and Bella?" he asks us.

We look at each other, then back at the stranger. "Yes," I say, "how'd you know?"

"I'm following you on instagram," he says shyly.

"Thanks," I say.

"What's your name?" Emma asks the boy.

"Austin."

"You look familiar," Emma says.

Come to think of it, he does look familiar. It's like I've seen him somewhere before but I can't put a name to his face. He has dark brown hair, and his eyes are hazel.

"I'm a singer," he said. "Some people may know me from Facebook or YouTube. My full name is Austin Mahone."

"Oh my gosh," I say. "I know you! I've seen videos of you singing before, and you're really good!"

He smiles and pulls his hat over his face a little bit. "Thanks. Would you want to take a picture with me?"

"Sure," I say.

"In return, you'll let us take one too for instagram," Emma says.

"Oh gosh, you're so addicted," I tell her.

"I know, it's so sad."

Austin takes a picture with us and posts it on instagram, and I do the same.

I follow him and tag him and Emma to the picture, with the caption reading: 'Look who Emma and I ran into at the mall! Nice getting to meet you Austin! :)'

Emma and I were walking around the mall with Austin after we got our food. We just hung out and talked.

I felt my phone buzz.  I looked at Emma.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Harry's calling me."

"Well answer it!"

"I step aside from her and Austin and sit on one of the benches.

"Hey," I say.

"So I see you met Austin Mahone," Harry said.

"Yeah, we're actually walking with him right now. Wait, are you stalking my instagram?"

He laughs and said, "maybe."

His response made me smile.

"So what made you decide to call me?"

"Well," Harry paused gathering what he was going to say. "I was hoping you and Emma would come back over to the Secret Dark Tunnel. The rest of the band is here with me, except I'm in the hall so they don't know I'm talking to you. But I was hoping we could hang out."

"I smile. "That's sweet, and thank you for the offer-"

"But you're busy with someone else. I get it."

"No, Harry, that's not what I meant." Some people looked up at me at the mention of Harry's name. I put my focus at the ground.

"Okay, then come over."

"I'll see what I can do," I respond.

The line went dead. I put my phone in my pocket and stand up, sighing to myself.

Emma and Austin walk over to me.

"Is everything alright?" Austin asks me. He took off his cap to shake his hair to the side. Before he could put it back on, we heard someone scream.

" Oh my god. It's Austin Mahone!" yells some fangirl.

She starts running towards us and a couple other people follow our lead.

"Crap," I hear Austin mutter under his breath. "I need to go, sorry."

"We'll come with," Emma tells him.

We start running, and I glance back to see a whole crowd forming a chase behind us.

A/N:

I hope you like the fact that Austin Mahone is in the story now. I actually just searched him up for the story, and I found that I actually like his music. It's crazy how things turn out. Anyways, what do you think? Should he stay in the story? Comment and vote, thanks!
