THAT MORNING.

Savanna and Toby were up and about early. I had to leave in a few hours so I slept a little while. meanwhile, riley called.

Ri- Good morning

Me- You're up early

Yes I am

Why is that

Can I talk to you or do you have a problem

No I'm fine I said sarcastically

Ok well I know you gotta leave today...can I meet you later before you leave

Yes that's fine

Why is it just "fine"

I'm still tired you know

I get it....just trying to be funny!

...

We finally hung up not long after that. later on we met at Starbucks and savanna, toby, Thomas, Ryan, rj, and Connor were at the McDonough house. Riley took me to the airport.

I looked at him and said I feel bad I never got to tell anyone. its like I'm a dark secret or something.

Don't worry. you will only be gone a few days. it's supposed to be good days and a time to celebrate. soon we will be together again....he paused with a smile. and we will both be at the I heart radio small fall festival performing our hit song after our tours! remember to keep and touch and no matter what, I love you.

I smiled. off I go again I thought. how is connor, toby, Ryan, and rj gonna react. I didn't even tell them. I knew it was a surprise for me and them on my solo tour but still.

I hopped on the plane. knowing I'd see Riley in 2 weeks or less. Riley smiled as a tear ran down my face, happy and sad, but also overwhelmed. Before I got into the lane I looked back. as Riley held his smile, running towards me.

You forgot something...

What? I ask.

This. he leans over and kisses me.

Love you.

Love you.

Into LA I went. touring with cool people...

The first night.

2pm -sound check

Then Austin and Alex come out (Austen's friend) what's up sistas!Austin yells

Austin and Alex run.

The music shuts off.

He always jokes around. we hugged and he whispers...

But--I thought---I'm confused. you were just dancing with Alex.

Oh I see, sorry. he chuckles nervously.

THE NIGHT CONTINUED...(BEFORE PERFORMANCE):

1 hour before I hit the stage. Riley called.

We continued and hung up.

I was in my dressing room at the time. someone knocks on the door. my hairstylist opens it. it was Alex.

Hey

Hey

Sorry if I'm bothering, Austin won't leave me alone.

Find that hard to believe! I laughed.

He pulls out something from his pocket and hands it to me.

Happy birthday!

Thank you I say. the hair stylist leaves and shuts the door.

It's just from me. I really hope you like it...

ONLY 5 MINUTES LEFT!

I'm starting to think about what spencer said. maybe Alex likes me.

I pulled it out of the box. it was a letter and necklace. I told Alex i'd read it after performance. he smiled.

STAGE TIME!

I was of course the first one to perform. I performed one of my songs beautiful, covered 1D steal my girl acoustically, and my song tattoo. after I sang. it was becky's turn....before Her time was in...austin, alex, ms mahone, Becky g, and spencer came out to sing happy birthday. the crowd roared and everything.

And on they went

AFTER THE SHOW

Midnight:

A few fans came backstage with ViP passes to see me and becky. Austin and Alex were getting ready to head out. I wasn't gonna see them for a while. same with spencer. me and Becky had the next week touring together. So I saw Alex heading out. I read the note before it was to late it read:

Dear Poe,

You seem to be an amazing girl. I love your songs, your poezers love me and austin. I hope your having a great tour life right now...and since I didn't have strength to tell you....here...

He wrote in cursive. I like you

Happy birthday!

-Alex

On the back I read,

Forget the I like you part. I know your with someone else. ;)

My heart fell deep. I knew it I thought. I ran outside real quick to catch up to him before he hopped on the tour bus with Austin and ms mahone.
