Chapter 1

July 3rd, 2016
Blaire's POV:

London, England!!! It was great to be here. Attractions, shops, the queen, and just fun times in general. I had been traveling the world for about 6 months now and not once have I thought of him. After what happened exactly almost 2 years ago I never looked back. I was in love with him for god's sake, but the distance tore us apart, forever.

I just arrived at my hotel room from the airport, and I must say that from what I saw London looks amazing. I'm hoping to finally go to Thorpe Park, it's been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember. I have a few friends who live in London, so I'll also probably go visit them too. But for now it's unpacking for me and some sleep because time zone's literally kill me plus the jet leg so I'm dead.

12:35am

I woke up to the sound of my phone going off. I wasn't wearing my glasses and I was tired so my phone, I think, said "Simon", I jumped right out of my skin and threw my phone to the other side of the hotel room. I sprinted to the bathroom and grabbed my glasses. I picked up my phone after putting on my glasses and saw that it in fact said "Sissy." That was my sisters contact. I took a deep breath and called her back. She didn't answer which was strange, she always answers my calls. I lied back down on my bed trying to go back to sleep but all that I could now think of was Simon. It's like he was a toxic drink and I drank a whole bottle of him and now I'm stuck like this. My phone started ringing again, but this time the name made me smile. I answered right away.

"Hi Tobi." I said.

"Heyyyyyyy Blaire!" He replied excitedly.

"Mind if I come over? I can't sleep." I asked.

"Of course. Anytime." He replied. I smiled.

"Do you need a drive? I can send someone." He added quickly.

"That would be great if you could." I said.

"No problem. I'll send someone and just look for a silver Range Rover. See you in a bit." He said.

"Bye." I said before hanging up.

I put on some leggings and my Canada black and red hoodie with a beanie and my Adidas superstar sneakers. I grabbed my phone and my small backpack and left the room. The halls in this hotel were very long. Hardwood floor ran along the floors through them all and the crisp white walls made them look even longer. I walked past multiple doors before getting to the elevators. I absolutely HATE elevators. I'm terrified of them. Thankfully stairs were right next to the elevators and I wasn't far from the lobby. The stairs were a black metal staircase. Very simple, I liked that.

It felt like forever, but I finally made it to the front of the hotel. Outside sat the silver Range Rover with a tall blonde boy holding a sign with my name on it and holding a dozen roses.

"Well, isn't this lovely." I said walking up to this mysterious stranger.

"Compliments of Tobi." He said handing me the roses.

"I'm Callum. But you can call me Cal or Calfreezy." He said opening the car door for me. He closed it and ran to the other side.

"It's very nice to meet you. You kind of look like an old friend of mine." I said smiling at him.

"Oh, my friends say I look like my other friend Simon." He said replying.

"I've never heard of him." I said trying to hold the tears back. Calm down Blaire. It could just be a coincidence.

"So, I can tell you're not from here." He said trying to make it less awkward.

"Yeah. Can you guess where?" I laughed.

"Would it be Canada?" he asked pointing at my sweater.

"Nope. I'm from Mexico." I said trying to trick him. He looked at me with a weird face. He smiled and started laughing.

"That's complete bullshit." he said.

"Yeah it is." I said laughing. "Yes, I'm from Canada." I added.

"I like you." He said looking at me. I Gave him a big grin. We sat in silence listening to music.

A few minutes later we pulled into the underground of an apartment building. We parked and got out. "Thanks for getting me by the way. I probably would've gotten lost." I said.

"No problem. Anytime you need a lift hit me up." He said smiling at me. I followed him into the building. Then I saw it, elevators. He pressed the button and waved for me to go in when they opened.

"Ummm, I think I'll take the stairs." I said nervously.

"It's very high up, you'll be going forever." He said. I looked at my feet. I looked back up at him with tears in my eyes. "Are you scared of elevators?" he asked putting his hand on my shoulder. I nodded letting a tear fall. "Here, I'll call Tobi to meet us at the top and for now just come here." He said and pulled me into his chest. I walked with him keeping my eyes closed and into his chest. He rubbed my back as I began sobbing. I felt the elevator vibrations going up. "He's waiting for us. It's gonna be fine." He assured me. I just nodded to let him know I was listening.

A beautiful sound filled my ears. It was the sound of the elevator ding. I looked up at Cal with the biggest smile on my face. "I did it!" I exclaimed.

"See! It wasn't that bad." He said. I hugged him tightly.

"And now you get a reward." He added pointing behind me. I turned around and there stood Tobi.

"Tobi!" I screamed running out of the elevator and into his arms. I pulled away and he laughed. "I'm sorry. I'm a mess." I said laughing wiping under my eyes.

"It's all good. I know you were scared." He said rubbing my back. I followed him down the hall towards his Apartment. We walked in and balloon's lined the halls and streamers fell from the ceiling.

"What's all this for?" I asked. He grinned at me.

"You." He said. Once we got to the living room, the lights dimmed and strobe lights came on. "You'll probably have to stay the night tonight." He said. Then seconds later the place was filled with one big "SURPRISE!" I swear my face was hilarious.

"What's all this for?" I asked in shock.

"Your birthday's soon right?" Tobi asked. I nodded. "So Happy Birthday!" He said hugging me. The music started playing and everyone started dancing and getting drinks. "A few more people will be here soon. But go have fun, this night is about you." He said.

"Thanks Tobi." I said smiling.

After drinking a few drinks and aimlessly going around and meeting people, there was a knock on the door. At this point I was at a state where I wasn't completely sober. I walked to the door and opened it. Cal, and three other guys stood there. "Hey Blaire. This is Harry, Cal #2, and Ethan." He said introducing me.

"Hey guys come on in." I said letting them in.

"WAIT!" I voice yelled from the elevator. Running feet caught up to us and we all stopped and turned around. My eyes grew wide. The blonde hair, the blue eyes, the voice. It was him. He also stopped dead in his tracks. We stared at each other before Cal interrupted.

"Come on Simon. By the way this is Blaire."
