 I was scrolling through my phone when I heard a car pull into the driveway. Having just arrived at Anna's, I was sitting on the couch waiting for her to come out of the bathroom. She had told me to stay put, and that we were about to eat dinner with the whole family. To be completely honest, I didn't really understand what she meant by this since I always eat dinner with their whole family but I had just shrugged it off. Although I was trying to focus on what to caption my latest post, my mind kept on trailing back to what had happened back in the coffee shop. I know it was stupid, for multiple reasons (The biggest one being that I would never see him again), but I couldn't get him out of my head. His eyes and their striking features still lingered in my memory, and I longed to be able to see his whole face. It was a weird wish, but for some reason, I longed for it so badly that my whole body ached. I wanted to see him again. I would do anything, anything at all, just to see him in the flesh one more time.

Coming back to the moment, I heard the doorknob jiggle. My insides squirmed. Who was that? Everyone was home. But what disturbed me the most was not the fact that the door was opening, or that someone that I thought I had never seen before was barging into the house. It was that when I looked up, I didn't see a random friend or someone in the Seavey family. I saw a face that I would never be able to forget, and a set of eyes that had been in my mind since the time I had seen them this afternoon.

Opening the doorknob, I heard a slight whimper. I had just got home from being at the studio all day, and I had my mind set on texting the girl I had met. Damn, that girl. She was most definitely the most beautiful girl I had ever met, and her personality attracted me in a way that I had never felt before. I know it was probably bad that the first time that I would be seeing my family in a while I was thinking about texting a girl, but I couldn't help it. I was still super excited to see my family though. Having been on tour for a long time, I hadn't seen my family in ages. I had a few weeks with them before I had to be off again. But this time, they would be coming with me. Although I loved being on tour, being away from my family was the hardest thing about it. And although this sounds extremely childish, sometimes I cried myself to sleep because of how much I missed them. 

I looked up and tilted my head. My jaw dropped. A million confusing thoughts bounced around my head, and I took a step back. In front of me, was none other than the girl I had just been about to send a message to. Yes, that girl. The one that I had been obsessing over for the 30 minutes since I had met her. Her eyes widened, and she jumped up from the couch. She ran to the counter and grabbed a knife. What was she doing in my house? How did she find me? Was she a crazed fan or just an insane stalker? She couldn't have followed me, I got her after she did. Dammit, I should have never given her my number. But at the same time-
"How did you find me?!" She shook while she talked as if I was a humongous beast towering over her and she was trapped in a corner with nowhere to go.
"What do you mean how did I find you? How did you find me?! This is my house!" I yelled, confused.
"If you don't leave now, I'm going to have to call the cops. I think you are extremely confused. This is not your house, I know that for a fact. Now, I am going to ask you kindly to leave. I don't wanna hurt you. I don't know what happened, but I can tell that you are just as confused as me so um I think you have the wrong address."
The way she said this touched my heart. I know that 9/10 people would yell and scream, yet she was so kind even though she had no idea who I was. But at the same time, I was outraged. Who did she think she was?
As if right on cue, Anna walked out of the bathroom. She looked at both of us, her head swinging back and forth, and started laughing. I raised my eyebrows. What was going on?

"So, I guess you guys met." She snickered.
"Um, who is this may I ask?" The girl asked, still shaking.
Anna walked over to her and rubbed her shoulders, trying to calm her down. 
"This is my brother, Daniel." She laughed.
"What?! You have another brother?!" She said, confused.
"Omg, I can't believe you've been my best friend for so long and you didn't know about Daniel."
"Um, can I ask what's going on..." I interrupt.
The girls burst out laughing.
"Sorry I pulled a knife on you." Bella nervously says as she fiddles with the bracelet on her arm.
"It's ok but I'm still confused about who you are," I answer.
"Well um, I'm Anna's best friend, to say the least." Bella shrugged.
"Oh. Nice to meet you then." I say, gathering all my nerves and shushing the butterflies in my stomach as I take a step towards her and put out my hand.
"Nice to meet you too. I'm Bella." She smiles the brightest smile I have ever seen and shakes my hand. I feel electricity shoot through her towards me. Somehow, even though I barely knew her, I knew that this would only be the beginning of our relationship. Deep inside, I hoped we would become more than just friends.

Hey guys, I just wanted to start off with an apology. I'm so sorry for not updating in a while, and I just wanna apologize in advance because I probably won't be able to update that often for the next week or two since I'm on vacation. No, I have not forgotten about this novel, and I hope at least a few of you enjoy reading this. I put a lot of work into this and it really makes me happy to know that some of you actually read my work and enjoy it. 
Also, TEA. AH I love this chapter, It was so fun to write. In the future I might edit it and make it longer, but for now I'm going to leave it the way it is. I know most of my chapters are pretty short but it's usually all I have time for. Love you all, and have a great Christmas!
Love, Rose <3
