my heart was racing. i was tryna stay cool, laughing at something shania said as i typed the address zion gave me into maps on my phone. the laughter was forced, but i couldn't let her know how nervous i was to see him. we stood outside chipotle on hollywood blvd, the cool wind blowing against my bare arms. the boys' house was a 10 minute drive from where we were, and shania and i made the decision to take an uber. downtown LA was so beautiful. i was in love with the city, and i couldn't wait to leave east los and move here.

in the uber, i couldn't stop my legs from shaking. "girl what's up?" shania asked, frowning.

"nothing, just a little cold." i lied, smiling at her as i shoved my hands into the pockets of my hoodie. i would never say aloud how i really felt about zion, because i didn't wanna even admit it to myself. how could i feel so strongly about someone i ain't even seen before?

except in 8 minutes, i was going to.

i was so nervous i felt like i was going to throw up, and part of me even wanted to turn around and go home.

shania was having fun, putting music on and getting hyped up while i was desperately trying to forget about the butterflies in my stomach.

we turned into a street filled with nice houses, and it looked nothing like the houses in east la. eventually, we slowed down in front of a big double story house.

"is this it?" i asked the driver, still shaking. he nodded at me in the mirror and i tried to swallow the lump in my throat. shania thanked him and got out of the car, and as i studied the house i saw someone familiar in one of the windows. it wasn't zion, but one of his band members. shania walked up to the door, and i quickly got out of the car and rushed to her side.

and then i knocked.
