Nash-

"Will you..be my girlfriend?" I got it out. Finally. Kayla lets go of my hand and I become aware of my sweaty palms and my racing heart. She isn't saying anything. This isn't good.

"It's fine if you don't want to." I say.

"No, it's not that. It's just that..well...no one has been there for me my whole life and now you're here. I'm just not used to having someone." She explains to me.

"Well I'm here for you. No matter what." I smile at her.

"Thank you, Nash. And I'd be honored to be your girlfriend." A huge, bright smile comes across her face. I smile too. I want to kiss her so bad, but I don't want to ruin this moment. She leans her head against my shoulder and we sit together like this in the darkness of the night.

Kayla-

Nash drops me off at my house and I go straight to bed. Today was one of the best days I've had in a very long time. Nash made me so happy today and he helped me forget all about my problems. I'm so lucky to have a guy like him. And now he's my boyfriend. Nash Grier is my boyfriend. These are the thoughts that race through my mind all night.

Even though I got 1 hour of sleep at the most last night, I wake up feeling oddly refreshed. I go downstairs and the strong aroma of bacon washes over me. Breakfast. Thank god. I'm so hungry. I completely forgot about eating last night.

"Good morning honey." My dad says to me with a cheerful grin.

"Morning Dad. And Mom." I smile. "Thanks for making breakfast."

I sit down at the table and eat my bacon, eggs and biscuit. It's a Sunday which is my lazy day, so I have absolutely no plans. I go back upstairs and change into sweats and a clean t-shirt.

I hop back into bed and get on my phone. I need to get some new apps on this thing. So far I only have a couple games. I know what I need. Social media.

People at school all talk about Facebook, Twitter and this odd app called Vine. I download all three and decide to go onto Twitter first. I need to make an account. I suck at coming up with usernames. I decide on just @KaylaJacob (keep in mind that this is not my actual Twitter) I get off of that and go on Vine next.

I make an account and go through my feed. Apparently it's just short little videos that people make. 7 seconds. Some are actually really funny.

Oh look it's a guy trying to fit an orange in his mouth. I scroll down to the next one and I'm shocked to see that it's one of Nash's vines. I look at the likes and it says 200k. What the hell?

200,000 likes. That can't be right. I go to Nash's profile and almost drop my phone from what I see. My heart drops to the pit of my stomach. The follower number reads 9.7 million.

A/N - SOOO YEAH THAT JUST HAPPENED! I hope you liked the chapter. I'm trying to update at least once a week, but school gets really stressful and takes up a lot of my time. Don't forget to vote/comment☺️💘
