The Story of Us

Two

"I-I'm sorry, what?"

"I'm going on tour with a group of friends. You wanna come? I already talked to your dance studio and stuff, and they're totally cool with it. All we need is your OK."

I could hear the grin in his voice.

"Taylor, I swear to god. If you're joking, I'm gonna kill you."

"I'm not kidding."

"Then, yeah! Of course I will!"

"Oh yeah, one more thing. Go to...."

He gave me an address to go to. I was a bit confused, but decided I would go. I put on a black Usher concert tank and a pair of light wash super skinny jeans. I put on my black Adidas hi-tops (again). Even though I own a lot of shoes, I wear my Adidas the most. I brushed my hair and let it hang loose.

I got my stuff together, and put the address in my GPS on my phone. I pulled up to the local convention center. What the heck?

I walked into the lobby and looked around, not really knowing what to expect.

"Zander!"

I turned around at the sound of my name. I saw a big group of guys standing about fifty meters away from me.

"Zander!" The one in the middle waved, and I realized it was Taylor.

"Taylor? Oh my god!"

I sprinted towards him. I was finally seeing my best friend after so long. Years. When my family moved to LA, Taylor stayed in Indiana, where we're both from.

When we finally reached each other, I flung my arms around him and hugged him tightly. He wrapped his arms around my waist, my toes leaving the ground.

"What are you doing here?" I asked happily, still engulfed in our hug.

"Seeing my best friend. What else?"

"Wait, is this the tour you were talking about?"

"Duh! This is the first stop."

"Taylor!" I couldn't contain my grin. He smiled at me, and I noticed something.

"You got your braces off?"

"Yes, finally. Come on, I want to introduce you to the other guys."

I walked back to the group of guys Taylor was standing with before.

"Guys, this is my friend Zander. Zander, this is Nash, Cameron, Matt, Carter, Shawn, Jack J, Jack G, Hayes, and Aaron." He pointed out who was who.

"Hey." I smiled, but they all the same dazed look on their faces.

"Guys, stop drooling over my best friend and actually say hi." Taylor said, rolling his eyes. My cheeks heated up as they all said hi to me. Shawn, I think his name was, caught my eye. Brown hair, brown eyes, fantastic jawline. I guess he caught me looking, because he flashed a cute, awkward little smile. I grinned back, and tried to focus on what Taylor was saying.

"...And the show will be tomorrow."

Everyone nodded. I noticed the guys checking me out again.

"Guys, I know I look great, but c'mon. Contain yourselves at least a little." I said, smirking.

"Well." Carter muttered.

"So, if the show is tomorrow, what are you guys gonna do until then?"

"Well, what's around town?"

"Taylor, it's LA. What isn't here?"

"Good point." He replied.
