*updated*

Somehow, and I really don't know how, I managed to make it back to my apartment last night, and cry myselfto sleep without waking my roomate. When I woke up the next morning it was noon, my roomate asked me if I was sick and I said yes. Which wasn't a total lie considering everytime I thought about last night, I felt like I was gonna throw up.

After laying in bed for hours I finally get the dreaded, "What happened last night?" , Question from my roommate, I mumble nothing and to my suprise she leave me alone for a few hours.

"Kaylee, I called Taylor, shes coming over, I understand if you wont talk to me, but you should talk to her," My roomate, Jessy, urges me.

"Jessy im fine," I tell her, but it doesn't come out nearly as convincing as I wanted it to, "But thank you."

She nods and smiles at me, a couple hours later Taylor lets herself into my room, and also into my bed.

"Kaylee Wendler what on earth has gotten into you? Jessy says you got home late lat night and have been moping in bed all day?" She asks, seeming sincerely concerned.

When I say nothing in response she speaks up again, "Okay Kaylee, I wasn't gonna mention this today considering you're not in the best mood, but now I cant shake the feeling this might have something to do with it," she says pulling out her phone and handing it to me.

"Taylor what are you talking about?" I ask her, then look down at the article she has up on her phone. The title of the article is enough to make me catch my breath.

One direction coffee house mystery girl in NYC, who is she and why haven't we seen her before? 

"Watch the video," Taylor instructs me.

I press play on the video, but I dont need to, I already know what it is. Footage from starbucks of what looks like me "talking to Niall" then dashing out of the shop.

"What really happened last night Kaylee?"

So much Tay, so much.

"You wouldn't believe me...." I grumble under my breath though she hears me loud and clear.

"Try me."

This was gonna happen eventually I knew that, I just thought i'd have time to figure out how to tell her, I didnt want it to happen like this.

Taylor looked at me with wide eyes waiting for my explanation, but I didnt even know where to start. I figured if I was coming clean to her, I might as well start from the very beginning.

"First thing you should know is when I was young I didnt have many friends, talking to people online made me feel better, so thats what I did. I first met Niall on youtube,I commented on one of hus videos and we became friends almost instantly, for two and a half years we were best friends we always talked and of course I knew he was on the X factor and I was so proud of him, but I really didn't expect him to actually win, and they didn't. But his career still took off and I was left behind, I knew that our friend ship could never be the same." I pause to catch my breath and check Taylors reaction, but she doesn't even seen slightly phashed.

"Then what happened?" Taylor asks and I cant help but laugh a little at how shes staring at me waiting for more.

"We still talked for almost a year but it was never the same, he was so busy that first year of fame and it was hard with the time changes, we just weren't the same people anymore. Neither of us meant to be so distant from echother, but we were growing apart, and his management didnt support us talking anyway, So I made a decision, and though it broke my heart, I knew it was the right thing to do."

"What was it?" She questions.

"I stopped talking to him, I shut him out completely, ignoring his texts and calls, unfollowing him on everything, pretending we were never even friends. I felt awful, but I knew we were on that path anyway, at the time I felt like I was holding him back, and this would make things better for him."

"What happened after that?" Taylor exclaimed.

"I finished high school, met you," she squeezes my hand, "and I got my life back on track."

She stares at me for a few minutes, "Why didn't you tell me sooner Kay?" She asks me, frowning.

"Its a pretty unbelievable story," I sigh, "Im sorry Taylor I should've."

"At least I know now," she smiles at me, "Do you know any other celebrities you'd like to tell be about? Taylor Lautner? Zac Efron?"

"Sadly no," She laughs and so do I, it feels good to be laughing again. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my chest now that I told Taylor the truth, it's amazing.

"So now what," she asks me, and I look at her suspiciously.

"What do you mean now what?" I respond, worried.

"Now that you saw him last night! Are you going to see him again? This is a good thing isn't it?"

"No Taylor, absolutely not. I pretended I didnt know who he was last night. That part of my life is behind me," I explain to her, feeling an ache in my chest at the reminder that I may never see Niall again.

"But it's Niall Horan!" She practically screams at me, "And the way you made it sound, he never did anything wrong!"

"That was never the point Tay, It was best for both of us, and Its in the past now, I cant just pretend that 3 years haven't passed. Plus I dont even know what I would say to him," I tell her, she shakes her head.

"Now you're just making excuses, it doesn't matter what you say, say anything for gods sake just say something!"

"Taylor, I cant..." she sighs, and though her eyes are pleading me to listen to her, she doesn't say anything about it again.

"Hey Taylor, Kaylee, you should really see this!" Jessy shouts from our living room, Taylor looks at me with wide eyes and together we make our way out of my bedroom.

When we walk in, Jessy is standing infront of the TV waving us over, on the screen a reporter and pictures of twitter feeds, I hear the report  talking before I have time to process whats on the screen.

"One Direction looking for their mystery girl? While they dont reveal her name, all five members of the band have sent out tweets saying 'If anyone sees or knows anything about the girl in this video, please tweet and let us know' and the hashtag findstarbucksgirl is alreadt trending world wide, Who are you starbucks girl?"

The video from last night plays on the screen, and panic sets in when I relize this is being broadcasted globally. Taylor and I stare at the screen in shock, while Jessy stares at us in utter disbelief.

"Kaylee, is that you?"

Taylor responds to Jessys questions and they continue on in a conversation I barely hear because im too deep in my own thoughts. How did this all happen so fast? And why was this happening? Most importantly what was I going to do? More and more fears and questions filled my brain and I felt the room spinning, my heart rate was rising but I tried to remain calm. Someway, somehow, I would handle this, and everything would be fine.

Right?

Wrong.
