Well... He told me to text him later... Does that mean in a few minutes? Hours? Days?

Dammit Payson, what're you doing?! You told yourself you are NOT going to completely fangirl this weekend! So stop.

I looked at his name in my phone again, and looked at the picture... Who am I kidding! Chandler freaking Riggs just kissed you on the cheek and gave you his number in the same day! Fangirl all you want!!! Just as long as it stays inside your mind Pay....

After an hour, it was about 3 pm. The line to meet Norman was still long so... I might not even get to meet him. Today is Saturday and tomorrow is the last day before we pack off and head back home. I have to meet him!

I decide to text Chandler now and just.... WHAT DO I TEXT TO A FAMOUS HOT GUY?! Why. Must. This. Be. So. Difficult. I start off typing this:

-Hey chandler, it's Payson!-

then I deleted it.

-hey it's Payson!-

nope... I have to joke around with him...

To Chandler: hey it's your number one fangirl!

yeah, he'll know it's me if I say that. I send the message and wait for a reply. 1 minute... 2 minute...

BUZZZZZZZ

I unlock my phone and see Chandlers message clear across me screen...

From Chandler: Do I need to call the cops?

I see the message and I start to freak out a bit inside and I stare at my phone in terror.

BUZZZZZZ

From Chandler: just kidding Payson!😂-

I smiled at my phone.

To Chandler: Good lord Chandler you scared the shit out of me!-

From Chandler: sorry PayPay! Hey come over to my booth, there's no one here, and I'm leaving soon!-

To Chandler: you sure? What about your dad?-

From Chandler: he'll be fine. My mom and Greyson just left to walk around, so it's just me and my dad.-

To Chandler: okay let me tell my dad, I'll be over in a minute.-

I tell my dad I was going to see Chandler.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" My dad called out to me.

"what don't you do dad?" I walked backwards while talking to him.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't approve of." He corrected himself.

"No promises." I joked and walked through the mini isles, looking at the booths, colored contacts, comic books, art pieces.

When I got to Chandlers booth, there was a girl there in a rainbow wig and a rainbow tutu walking away from the booth, smiling at her phone as her mom walked behind with bags of stuff they must've had from the convention.

"I thought no one was here with you." I said to him.

He chuckled and said "I might've lied. I had to get you over here!"

"You could have just said to come over." I walked up to the booth and he waved for me to come sit behind the table with him, so I did. We talked for about 5 minutes, just joking around when Grayson and his mom got back.

"Should I go?" I leaned over and whispered to Chandler. He chuckled.

"Nah, you're fine." He said to me. Within 3 minutes, about 15 fans came up to his booth. He is so sweet to all of his fans, but it felt weird just sitting there and no one knew who I was since I'd obviously never been seen with him before. I even got some death stares from some girls that came through while he was signing their autographs, so I got up and went to sit by his dad instead.

"Hey Mr. Riggs!" I sat down in the chair next to him.

"Hey Payson! You can call me William you know.What's up?" He laughed.

"Ohh, you know...getting dirty looks from fangirls." I looked at the pictures of Chandler on the table in front of us.

Then the sad truth hit me. Chandler still has Rachel. He has a girlfriend, I can't get my hopes up, nothing is going to happen. After this weekend, he's going to go back to Georgia, back to Rachel an his school. And I'm going back to little old Indianapolis. The little suburb house near the city. I wish I could stay here in Nashville forever, the city of music, the thing I want to do with my life.

After the last person got through the line, I stood up and went back over to Chandler.

"I think I'm going to go back to my booth." I point to that direction while biting my lips together.

"Wait what? Everyone just left, I wanna talk." He protested while holding his hand out for me to come back and sit.

"We can talk tomorrow. I gotta get back to my dad."

"But I won't be here tomorrow." My heart breaks.

"I only come to these on Saturdays, that way I can get back on Sunday and get ready for school." I nod and head back to the seat beside him.

"Oh" is all I said.

"Yeah so umm what I wanted to talk to you about..."

"What is it?" I looked to see where Grayson and his parents were, they were over by the pictures.

"So you know who Rachel is, right?"

Oh I know exactly who she is.

"She's your girlfriend right?" He looked away.

"Chandler? What are you not telling me?" I asked as if we'd been friends forever and he was keeping a secret.

"Well... Me and Rachel have been fading... I don't know what I feel for her anymore... I'm thinking about breaking up with her..."

Did he really just say that? I mean... Sure I don't know them, but I thought they were fine. Was I breathing? I guess not cause I had to take a deep breath right in front of him and he raised his eyebrows.... I might actually have a chance with him...
