I'm the Secret (A Jaime Preciado FanFic)

texting

Hailey's P.O.V

A date. A ducking date with Jaime Preciado. I would never admit to him of course that I, 1. have watched every Pierce the Veil video at least 10 times each, 2. Have had a huge crush on him for 4 years. (Not that the first 4 mattered because of the whole under-aged thing) and 3. I think he is the coolest guy in the band.

Nothing could top the amount of excitement I was feeling at this moment. I was finally getting a chance with my idol. The guy who got me through everything (quite literally) the reason I even smiled most days. And wow, I am just in awe.

"Are you gonna eat that?" my little brother asked me pointing at my Poptart.

"Yes, I plan on eating it." Not that I really was. I don't really think I will be able to eat ANYTHING for awhile. The way I'm feeling, it probably wouldn't stay down anyways.

I finally just threw it at my brother, realizing that I had a text. I looked down and saw that Jaime had texted me.

Jaime: "Hey, what time do you want to meet up today?"

Me: "Anytime is fine" I answered, probably sounding too eager.

Jaime: "Well there is a party tonight at around 8-ish with SWS that I don't plan on going to, so is around 8 okay?" he asked.

I contemplated for a few seconds. My friend, Casey was supposed to come over tonight. If I want to go on this date, I will have to take a rain-check with her. I'm absolutely sure she wouldn't mind. I mean, she knows how long I have waited for this moment.

Me: "8 is perfect." I answered.

Jaime: "Great :D"

I waited a few minutes before I answered him because I had to check in with Case.

Me: "Case, I might have to cancel our plans for tonight"

Casey: "Why?"

Me: "You're not going to believe this, but..."

Casey: "But...."

Me: "I have a date with Jaime Preciado tonight."

Casey: "If you didn't want to hang out you could have just told me wtf."

Me: "NO SERIOUSLY."

I said. Then I sent her a screenshot of my convo with Jaime about tonight.

Casey: "NO FUCKING WAY"

Me: "I know!"

Casey: "Okay, I understand. But you better tell me every fucking detail after. "

Me: "KKKKKK <3"

Then I checked back with Jaime.

Me: "Can I ask you something?"

Jaime:" You just did."

Me: "No, can I ask something different.?"

Jaime: "Well, you kind of just did again."

Me: "Shoot. I give up"

Then he read my message and didn't respond. 30 minutes passed and he still hadn't responded. I started to worry. Did I say something? What did I do? Oh no. I mess everything up. For once in my life, can I do something without screwing it up? I sat down on my bed. I can't do anything.

I can't even do college. Yes, I dropped out. (Why I'm still living with mom.) I can't do relationships (why I'm still single) I can't do anything. I'm just horrible. And now the one thing that I was looking forward to has just been messed up. How was it messed up? I don't even know what I did. Finally, I just decided to watch some Netflix. After about 40 more minutes, he finally responded. And I literally did a mini jump for joy.

Jaime: "Um, there might have to be a change in plans?"

Me: "How so?"

Jaime: "Well it looks like I'm being forced to go to this party."

Me: "Oh." I answered. And I tears started filling my eyes.

Jaime: "But I want you to be my date to the party" he said.

Me: "Really?" and I wiped my tears quickly.

Jaime: "Only if you want"

Me: "I would love to!"

Jaime: "Great! Also, you can invite a friend too"

That's when I really freaked out. Like, I got so excited, I jumped on my bed and banged my head on the roof. Ow.

Me: "You, my friend, are the best" I answered, sounding like an idiot, but what's new?

Jaime: "I'm glad."

Then I totally spaced out. Casey. CASEY. I forgot. I texted her right away.

Me: "CASE"

I waited a few seconds and she replied. She was the fastest person I know at answering. I would know If something was wrong with her if she wasn't replying fast. She was, after all, my best friend.

Casey: "WHAT"

Me: "Find a cute outfit."

Casey: "Why?"

Me: "Bc we are going to a Ptv partyyyy" I answered.

Casey: "Huh?"

Me: "We were invited. TO A PARTY. PIERCE THE VEIL PARTY. THE AHHH." I answered, barely able to type the words, I was so giddy."

Casey: "What really?!?!? Aaaaaaaaa" she answered.

Although we have both meet bands regularly, we always get excited when seeing them again. And never before were we invited to anything. Especially a party, especially a party thrown by Pierce the Veil and Sleeping with Sirens.

I told her the details about where it was and the time and everything else. She would have to drive herself there, because Jaime said that he would like to pick me up. I could not believe any of this was happening. I just hope she knows how to not freak out. I recently found out BMTH would be there too. (Not that I'm going to tell her that part) Mostly, Jaime would be there, and he would be there with me. Me. Of all the people in the world, me. Now was the time freak out, so I don't do it at the party.
