*Your pov.*

My lips form into a small O shape as I blow on the hot cup in my hands which is filled with delicious smelling cocoa. I pull my legs up to my chest getting more comfortable on the constricted terrace chair. A fluffy blanket is covering my body, keeping it warm and safe. I take a sip from the hot chocolate and enjoy the sweet taste running down my throat. Then I snuggle up in the soft blanket. I rest my hands on my lap as I watch up to the sky.

At first it seems like there's nothing but darkness. I look at the emptiness around me and frown when I notice a big bright star shining at me. Only then I watch the sky adopting more and more light. The cold air hits my face as I continue examining the wonderful view above me. I let my eyes wander across every single star as all of a sudden I catch sight of a luminous shine quickly cross the whole scenery before me. A shooting star. Instantly I close my eyes and think about the most uncommon wish. After that I look up at the sky again. The falling star is gone.

I yawn lightly as I feel my body becoming heavier. Before I'm able to fall asleep on the chair I grab the blanket and walk inside my house. I close the door to my terrace, throw the blanket on a nearby sofa and get rid of the cup in my hands. It doesn't take long and I find myself wrapped up in my bedsheets. I turn off the lamp on my nightstand, close my eyes and drift off to sleep.

The next morning I'm being woken up by a loud noise. Groaning annoyed I reach out for the alarm beside me and press a button to turn it off. Slowly I open my eyes and catch sight of the white ceiling. I sigh thinking about everything I'll have to do today.

The first thing on my to-do-list is work. I drag myself out of bed, go to the bathroom and get ready for the day. After showering, doing my make up as well as my hair I get dressed in my usual uniform. I walk into the corridor, grab my keys and put on some sneakers. Before leaving the house I take one last glance into the mirror. I bite my lower lip for a moment and tighten my ponytail. Then I open the front door, walk outside towards my car and climb inside of it.

It only takes ten minutes till I arrive at the café. I'm only working here part time to get some money while going to College.

After having parked my car I make my way towards the entrance. I fling open the glass door, step inside the empty café and walk to the register. There I prepare everything for the day. Some people enter the café and it gets more filled the later it gets.

»Hey, did you see my glasses?«, a male voice asks me.

I sigh a bit too annoyed as I turn to the side and catch sight of an insanely good-looking guy. My breathing stops for a moment when I recognize his face.

»Oh my god!«, I say loudly shocked to see him here.

»What? Did I scare you?«, he wonders with a teasing smile on his lips.

Completely caught off guard I just stare at him. I ignore the customers standing in line in front of the register and focus totally on his figure.

»Is...is this some kind of surprise? Are we on a tv show? Where are the cameras?«, I wonder looking around the café searching for cameramen.

»What the heck are you talking about?«, he asks with a frown,»Is this a prank, Y/n?«

I open my mouth looking at him still in shock.

»You...you know my name?«

»Of course! Why wouldn't I?«, he replies a bit more concerned now,»Y/n, are you okay?«

I gulp down hard and try to process the current situation as all of a sudden a blonde woman joins our conversation.

»What's up, lovebirds?«, she says leaving me without words.

I feel myself slowly starting to panic. Quickly I search for Ana, one of my co-workers and best friends. I walk around the kitchen and eventually find her making some coffee.

»Ana! Thank god, you're here«

»Well, I'd rather be somewhere else, but I'm glad you enjoy my company«, she answers still concentrated on the drink.

»You will never guess who's here«, I tell her excited.

Only then she turns around and looks at me eagerly.

»Who is it? Shawn Mendes? Rihanna?«

»Nope«, I respond,»Justin and Hailey Bieber.«

I squeal audibly and feel my heart racing. But when I see the emotionless look in her blue eyes I scratch my neck embarrassed.

»Are you serious, Y/n?«, she says pissed,»Don't ever prank me like that again. I thought you meant somebody famous is here.«

Totally confused I watch her turn around and finish up the coffee.

»Also very funny acting as if Justin and Hailey are married. As if that would ever happen«, she adds and leaves.

I take a look at my surroundings, then I close my eyes for a second before opening them again.

»What is happening?«, I whisper to myself as I see myself still standing in the kitchen.

Only then I remember the shooting star from yesterday and my wish.

»Holy crap!«, I say out loud causing some of the staff to shush me.

I roll my eyes at them before heading back to the register. Luckily, Justin and Hailey are nowhere to be seen. This is crazy. Yesterday, I made a wish and now it's becoming...true.

I wanted to meet Justin, but that wasn't the only thing. The meeting should be happening in an alternate reality in which Justin isn't married to Hailey and is not a singer. He's just a normal guy working with me.

Before being able to continue my train of thought somebody places their hands on the register around both sides of my body.

»Boo!«, I hear his voice whisper into my ear.

I jump up a bit causing him to take a step back. He laughs a little when he sees the surprised look on my face.

»You-you startled me«, I say putting one of my hands on my chest.

»I'm sorry«, he responds biting his lower lip shyly,»I didn't mean to.«

I nod telling him it's fine. As I'm still in the process of realizing the current events I examine Justin. I watch him run his fingers through his fluffy hair and notice the tattoos on his arms. Then I behold of his beautiful hazel eyes and all of a sudden I calm down. It's really him. It's Justin.

»Uh...I-I was wondering if you'd maybe like to hang out after work«, he stutters nervously.

With widen eyes I stare at him, not believing he practically just asked me out. He lifts one corner of his mouth giving me a cute smile.

»Uhm...s-sure«

»Really?«

»Yeah! Why not?«, I respond making us both laugh a little.

»Great! See you after work then«, he says looking me directly in the eyes.

A big smile appears on my face as we stare at each other. He licks his lips swiftly, grins and leaves. I just stand at the same spot in the same position for a while before Ana wakes me up from my trance.

»What's up with you today? Come on, we gotta make some money, girl!«, she tells me and the tension in my body fades.

I laugh at her behavior and continue working. Alternate reality or not, I love it!
