Chapter 1

*Beep*

I toss over in my inbetween sleep state, really not wanting to open my eyes this early in the morning. What time is it anyway? I look over at the clock to see it's almost three.

*Beep*

*Beep*

I sigh and reach for my phone somewhere in the jumbled pile of blankets and pillows on my bed. I know who it is and I know I shouldn't reply. Our converstaions last too long to be starting one at three in the morning. But that's usually what he does, he'll message me in the middle of the night  to say good morning or random hours during the day to say goodnight. I don't mind it really, I just find it odd because he's in the same timezone.

55xx: Mooooooorning!

55xx: C'monnnnnn Lia

55xx: Wakey wakey, eggs & backey! Today's the day!

duuuhlia: I know but seriously? It's three in the morning!

55xx: Oh yeah. Uh... sorry. But now that you're up, how did you sleep? Are you excited?

duuuhlia: Yes but I'm going back to sleep. Goodnight.

55xx: Oh come on Dahlia, you're gonna leave me alone on today of all days? :(

duuuhlia: Yes I am Jake. Goodnight :)

A good twenty minutes pass and I can't find it in me to fall back asleep.

duuuhlia: .......

55xx: Miss me?

duuuhlia: Definitely not. But hey, there's something I have to tell you later.

55xx: Good morning to you too, Miss Sunshine. And I can't wait to hear it!

duuuhlia: Yeeeah.. I can't believe today is already here. I feel like we've been waiting for years!

55xx: 5 months, and 23 days to be exact. xx

It all started almost a year ago. I was on twitter and the one direction fandom was arguing over something, like always, and I decided to voice my opinion like everyone else. This guy tweeted me and told me he agreed with what I was saying and that we should talk about it together further. I didn't think that a year later this guy, Jake, would be my best friend. I live in Northern California but he lives in LA so we've never met. But that'll change today. Today is the day of my One Direction concert. 5 months ago we agreed he would buy plane and concert tickets so he can fly up here and we can meet at the concert. And today is that day.

Jake knows everyting about me, from my "daddy issues" to my happiest childhood memories. The only thing he doesn't know is my age. He thinks I'm turning 18 next month when I'll actually only be 17. If he knew I was 16 he probably wouldn't speak to me. He's 18 after all. But I have to tell him today.

To say I'm nervous would be an absolute understatement. I care about Jake. And I mean really, really care about him. At one point I thought I was even developing feelings for him.

But that's crazy right? Having feelings for someone you've never even met?

Right?

55xx: Remember, meet me at the back doors of the arena. Shouldn't be too many people there.

I walk towards the arena and a large mass of girls are lined up, or should I say smashed together, to try to get inside. It's still a little bit early but I'm later than I said I would be so I really hope Jake hasnt been waiting too long.

Atleast fifteen security guards are surrounding the back doors to the arena. There's no one around, like Jake said. I walk up to a security guard, "Have you seen a tall guy, about 6 feet I think, umm," my voice trails off as I try to remember how Jake described himself but I've never actually seen him, "nevermind." I walk further past the security guards until I'm almost halfway to the front of the arena again, looking around for any signs of him, when a familiar voice calls my name.

"Dahlia!"

Where have I heard that voice before?

I turn around and sure enough, he's standing right in front of me, towering over me really.

"I- Uh," I try to speak but I can't.

"You can call me Jake I guess," He laughs, "But I usually go by Harry. Nice to finally meet you."

The smile on his face is unlike one I've ever seen. And I still haven't said a word.
