~natalie's pov.~

it is currently 8:48pm and i just got home. i'm sitting at my kitchen table with my mom and little sister, emily. she may be a pain in the butt, but i love her.

   "so tell us everything about new york." my mom said eager to find out about my trip.

   "oh it was amazing." i said smiling. "i met a boy actually."

   "a boy huh? what's his name?" my mom asked.

   "zach. he's apart of the band we went to go see. we hung out with them the whole day after the concert."

   "zach herron? as in the famous boy?! oh my gosh oh my gosh." emily squeaked jumping up and down going crazy.

   "yeah. we held hands as we talked the whole time walking around central park. ah it was amazing." i smiled at the thought of me and zach herron.

   "zach herron you say. is he from dallas?" my mom asked.

   "um yeah. yeah he is. why?" i said getting confused.

   "we lived next to their family in dallas." my mom explained.

   "wait really?" i asked surprised.

   "yeah his mom and i were friends since middle school. we went to collage together and always dreamed about raising our kids together. of course that is until your father got the job here."

   "are you serious. oh my gosh." i said shocked. "do you guys still talk."

   "um yeah sometimes. i guess when i heard you were going to see why don't we i should have realized her son was in that band."

   "oh my gosh! that's so cute!" emily chimed in. "total love story material."

   "um yeah kinda." i said.

   we continued talking about how zach and i hung out almost everyday when we were little and how my mom and zach's mom always wanted us to end up together.

   it was pretty late and i was tired since i drove home. i headed up stairs and texted zach.

   me: so apparently your mom and my mom have been bestfriends since middle school. and we used to live next to each other until my dad got his job. pretty weird right?

   i didn't get a text back. i just assumed he was working or possibly sleeping. i didn't mind. i know how busy he is.

   i eventually fell asleep and dreamed about zach and going on tour with them.

   i woke up to see it was now 8am. i grabbed my phone and saw a text from zach.

   zach💗: wow that's weird. well tours crazy baby girl and i have to go.💞

   he sent the text around midnight last night.

   i smiled as i read baby girl. he's really sweet and i want to be his but i doubt i'll ever see him again. i mean schools starting up soon and i won't even be able to facetime.
