I got my apartment and my job. So I guess I have everything. But thoughts go through my head.

"Does anyone know I'm gone?"

"Does Niall miss me?"

"Is he looking for me?"

My alarm clock interrupts my thoughts.

"Well great, I got 0 sleep!"

I get in my work clothes and go to the diner.

Barely anyone comes in. Only 2 people so far. So Liam and I start talking. He asks if I want to meet his friends Louis and Zayn even though I'm tired and I don't really want to, but I can't think of an excuse.

I walk with Liam to this little restraunt. And there's 2 boys there. They introduce themselves.

"Hi! I'm Louis and this is Zayn."

I give a small smile. "I'm Emily.

Then zayn pulls out a cigarette. "Want one?" He asks me

"No thanks." I say trying not to sound disgusted. The smoke reminds me of him.

We talk for about an hour. I'm barely listening, but I do like there British accents. But then something catches my eye.

There's a boy in the corner reading a book. He has dark, brown, curly hair. He has bright, green, beautiful eyes. He has dimples too. He catches me staring. I silently panic and look away and try to rejoin the other boys' conversation. But I look in the corner of my eye and I see him smile. I glance at him one more time.

I actually do it like 5 million more times but same thing.

"But that's it!" I tell myself. "I'm not looking for anyone, that's why I left Michigan." And I once again try to join the conversation.
