"I can't believe we leave in two days," I hear Mahogany say leaving the bathroom. I stop in realization. I won't see these people for a long time. But returning back home wouldn't be too bad. I miss my friend and my boyfriend. I miss my family terribly.

"Me too, I'm going to miss you so much!" I say jumping onto my bed.

"Then that means you better come to LA with us next month!" She says with a mischievous smile.

"I don't know yet. Remember, I go to public school," I say standing back up. I go over to my suitcase and grab two towels. I enter the bathroom turning the shower on warm. Taking the nicest shower I had in days.

Leaving the bathroom, I go to my suitcase and put on a pair of blue jeans, with my Ed Sheeran long sleeved sweater. I go onto the bed and wait for my hair to dry up a little.

I open my phone to check my messages, to find a text message from Chase. It's this very long paragraph. Why on earth would he send me this paragraph? I look at the date, and then it hit me, it was out 1 year anniversary. How could have that slipped my mind?

Reading Chase's text message made me tear a little. Knowing that he loves me for me is the one thing I admire. He is super loyal that I don't have to worry about anything. I decide to send a text back saying :

To: Chase
Wanna FaceTime?

I waited a couple of minutes to find a reply from him saying:

From: Chase
Sure! Let me call you.

I wait for just a couple seconds to finally receive a FaceTime call from him. I answer it to reveal his perfect face. Blond Brown hair that was combed into a quiff. I smile once I see his ocean blue eyes.

"Oh my gosh I can't believe I'm finally seeing you after so long. I miss you," he says. I smile insecurely.

"I miss you to babe. Happy 1 year. Sorry I couldn't write you a long paragraph but I thought this was better," I replied.

"I love how your brown eyes always shine when you talk. It's beautiful," he really knows how to make a girl blush.

"Who you talking to?" I hear Mahogany say jumping onto my bed. On my phone, it reveals her face.

"Chase this is Mahogany. Mahogany, this is my boyfriend Chase," I introduce them to each other.

"Hi!" He nicely greets her.

"So this is the famous Chase Matthews. Nice to finally put a face to that name," she says. She then moves her lips to my ears.

"Nice job girl. He's good looking. Proud of you," she whispers. I chuckle. She moves off my bed and walks through the connected door.

Chase and I talk for what seemed like hours but was actually 30 minutes. We talked about anything. He caught me up on stuff. And I told him about my life. Just leaving out about the boys part. I know how jealous he would be when he finds out that I'm in a hotel full of these good looking guys.

"I hope you haven't been cheating on me Ms. Mendes," he playfully jokes.

"Hope you haven't either Mr. Matthews," I playfully say.

"I would never cheat on you my love. You're the only girl I have eyes for," he romantically says. I blush at the sound of this voice.

"I would never-" I was interrupted by the door opening. There I see all the boys except for Shawn and Jacob entering the room making so much noise. My eyes go wide. I know Chase is going to get super jealous. Cameron comes up on my left side looking at my phone to find Chase on the screen. Then Aaron comes running up next to me and waves at Chase. I'm going to have to do a lot of explaining.
