Chapter One

"I'm so excited Jordan!!! I can't believe we're actually doing this!", shouts Denise.

"I know right?!", I exclaim.

We're really doing it! We're going to a One Direction concert! I've been a fan of One Direction for years now, and I eventually got Denise to jump on the bandwagon.

I look over at her. I can see the excitement in her hazel eyes. She's bobbing her head to 'What Makes You Beautiful' on the radio, as her long brown hair flies all around. We're driving to our apartment.

"Can you believe that in exactly two days, on July 24th, we'll be jamming out to 1D live?!", says Denise.

"I really can't! We've waited so long for this!!! Who would've thought, that little old us from Rapid City, South Dakota, would be going to Denver to see One Direction?!", I practically scream.

Denise pulls up to park in front of our apartment. We just got back from getting a few last minute things before we leave today. We hurriedly run up the stairs and race to the door. Denise left her key in the house again; luckily I brought mine. We start packing.

"Man! We probably have enough things for a family of four to go on a week vacation! And we're only going four days!", she remarks.

"Well, as we always say, 'I'd rather have what I don't need... "

"... than need what I don't have'", Denise finishes.

We chuckle. We finish packing, along with plenty of snacks and drinks, of course! I go to the bathroom, and stop in front of the mirror. I stare at my blue eyes. This is really happening! I fluff up my short brown pixie cut, and reapply my lip gloss. I walk out and get things ready to load up.

"You requested two nights off of work, right?", Denise asks.

"Yeah, I called JCPenny's last night.", I reply.

"Yes! Looks like we're all set then. Ya ready?", she adds.

"Yes! I'm ready!", I proclaim.

Here we go! We're leaving later than we had planned, as usual. But it's only 3:00pm, so we'll get there by 10:00ish. We get in the car and start our roadtrip! We're gonna be gone for four days! Leaving today, Thursday, and coming back Sunday.

Okay, we're all set, right? I know that work is taken care of. I know we've got everything. We locked the apartment. I think we're golden!

I stare out the window as we pass flat grass lands and hills in between. I feel my head fall against the window and my eyes start to flutter.

. . .

"I love you, Harry", I whisper. My lips touching his again.

"I love you too, Jordan", he replies. Intertwining his fingers with mine.

. . .

I slowly open my eyes to darkness. Wow! That was a vivid dream! I look over at Denise, smirking.

"What?", I ask.

"What were you dreaming about?", she prods.

"Oh, nothing", I reply.

"C'mon! Shoot!", Denise remarks.

"Okay, fine. I was dreaming about Harry Styles", I say. I see her smirk grow.

"Ooh! What kind of dream was this?", she asks.

"Well, probably not the kind of dream your thinking about", I add.

Denise has always been the more rebel one. As I'm pure goody goody. I've never dated anyone, or kissed. Where as Denise has been in quite a few relationships, and lost her virginity to one of her boyfriends. He turned out to be a jerk. And Denise regrets it. We both believe in saving sex for marriage. She just made a mistake. And is now waiting for the one. But don't get me wrong, she's not against the dating life. And I'm not either. There just hasn't been anyone. I've liked boys, and boys have liked me. I've even been in love. But the feelings weren't returned and I was heart broken. So here I am, alone, waiting for my prince that will probably never come.

"We we're together, talking, and exchanging a few kisses. I told him that I loved him, and he actually said he loved me too. That's sure a change of events!", I explain.

"That sounds like a great dream. But don't worry, Jordan, there are two men out there that are meant for us, and someday we'll find them! Or, they'll find us!", Denise proclaims.

"Yeah, maybe you're right", I reply.

"Okay. We're stopping at this gas station for a bathroom break, and then you're driving. It's already been three and a half hours!", Denise exclaims.

"Wow! I slept long! I can't believe we're already half way there! Denver here we come!!!", I shout.

We walk into the Common Cents and find the bathroom. I'm surprised my blatter didn't wake me up sooner. I have to pee all the time!

I'm so glad Denise and I are doing this. We're starting Cosmetology school at Headlines, at the end of August, and we started working at JCPenny's this summer. In fact we started working practically as soon as school got out, then moved into our apartment. We need this! Its July, and its so nice to get a break! We have never been on a trip just the two of us before!

We get back to the car. It's 7:40pm. So we're making good time. I start up the car, and we take off.

"I'm gonna sleep, k?", Denise says.

"Okay. Sweet dreams", I remark.

We chuckle, and she doses off. I'm so glad that we're such close of friends. We've known eachother our whole lives and practically grew up together!

Denise and I tell eachother anything and everything! I've always been more closed up, and quiet. But I have never been with her! We can be ourselves around eachother. We encourage one another, keep eachother in check, and are there for eachother no matter what! I could have never asked for a better best friend!!!

I can't wait until we get there! I hope our hotel is as amazing as it looked online! And I'm most excited for the concert! I can't wait to see the look on Denise's face when I tell her that I upgraded our tickets to VIP!

There's the sign. I drive onto the exit. Look at all those lights in the distance! It's nice to get away from our little town and see a big city!

"We're here!", I scream to Denise.

What did you guys think of the first chapter?

I've never written a book before. But I've read so many great fan fictions on Wattpad. So I thought I'd give it a shot. Let me know. :)

I hope you're having a good day!
