Claire's POV:

-

"Claire!" my mom calls from downstairs "Come down for dinner!"

I sigh as I shut my laptop. I walk downstairs, my palms sweaty, and sit at the table.

"So, how was your day?" my dad asks

"U, good," I say, taking a bight of mashed potatoes "How was work."

"Fine." my parents say in unison

"There's something I need to talk to you about." I blurt out, dropping my fork on my plate

"Yes?" my mom says

"So, I used my own money, and bought plane tickets for August twentieth, to go to New York to see Liam." I say slowly

"No." my dad says shortly, raising his eyebrows and putting food into his mouth

"What?" I say, tears coming to my eyes

"You know what happened last time you were alone with him." he says

"Nothing happened," I say "Besides, I'm twenty. I can handle myself."

"I understand when your father's coming from, Claire. I also understand where you're coming from." my mom sighs

She leans into my dad.

"I think we should let her go." she says, me just barely hearing it

"When are you coming home?" my dad asks

"August twenty second, since the concert is the twenty first." I say

"You better call when you get there, when you're in the hotel, at the concert, back at the hotel, in the airport, and after you land so we'll come pick you up." my dad says strictly, cracking a smile at the end

"Thank you!" I exclaim, jumping up and hugging them

We eat the rest of dinner talking about my upcoming trip. I get more and more exited as the night goes on, and finally fall asleep at midnight.

******************************************

"Goodmorning, Claire." my mom says with a smile

It's now the day before I'm leaving to New York. I sit at the table and eat the waffles waiting for me. Afterwords, I go up to my room to pack. I take a tank two night gowns, one tank top, one short sleeve shirt, and underwear. I pack away most of my make up. Lastly, I put in Liam's sweater, which I'm planning on wearing to the concert despite how hot it might be. I throw in a pair of slippers and sandals. I'm wearing my converse on the flight. After packing, I go out to the backyard for a swim and come back inside for lunch which is grilled cheese. I eat quickly before going back outside to sunbathe.

The excitement of seeing Liam is too much to handle. I jump out of the lounge chair and into the pool, doing a flip under the water. I splash around wildly for the next half hour until I've calmed down, but not too calm.
