I laid in my bed beside my best friend Danielle, she was sleeping but I just couldn't. I was still heart broken that my long time boyfriend Anthony had cheated on me while he went away for the first 2 weeks of summer. And not only did he cheat but he was dating the girl now and broke It off with me. Not like I was going to stay with him I would of just rather broke up with him myself. All over my room were memories of me and Anthony, us in grade 3 on sports day holding our first place ribbons for my mom. Then grade 7, voted cutest couple. Again in the grade 8 survey and all the way up to graduation. We were prom king and queen. Everything was perfect, our parents liked each other, we planned to go to college together here even though I tried convincing him to travel for a year first, I loved him he loved me. Or that's what I thought.
Summer after grad things crumbled. Obviously with him cheating and splitting up with me. Ugh what a way to start my summer. Luckily my best friend Danielle had the whole summer here still before she leaves to university in the UK. Before bed she surprised me with tickets to some bands concert that's tomorrow night. Its some pop-hit list type band apparently, I normally listen to rock stuff but Danielle was trying to distract me from thinking about Anthony so I faked being excited.
I looked at my phone, 4:30am. Great. I put a pillow over my head and tried to stop thinking.
I guess I eventually fell asleep because I felt Danielle poking me telling me to get up. I moaned and saw that it was 1:30.
"Concert is in 5 hours, we have to get ready! Come on!" She hoped into the bathroom and I could hear he brushing her teeth. I sat up and hung my feet off the side of my bed and rubbed my eyes. I slowly got up looked in my mirror, great I look like crap. Danielle appeared behind me.
"were you crying last night?" She looked at my eyes. Yup I was, clearly didn't think my eyes would be this puffy.
"I'm gonna shower. That alright?" I grabbed the curling iron from Danielle and bent down and plugged it in.
"Your house, I'm just gonna curl my hair then we can go" she started combing through her hair. I walked into my bathroom, had a shower, wrapped my hair into a towel and slipped on my jeans a t-shirt. I walked out and saw Danielle applying gobs of make-up on. She turned around and saw what I was wearing and smiled
"Your wearing that to meet ONE DIRECTION?" .. Clearly I was. I just changed into it.
"yea.. Its comfortable". I pulled the towel out of my hair, grabbed my moose and squirted some in my hands before rubbing it in my hair. I saw in the corner of my eye Danielle roll her eyes, but she knew I wouldn't change so she dropped it. I put on some mascara and a bit of eye liner and then I was ready to go.
"Okay, let's go. You drive?" Danielle never drove, I always did. I had a car so it was easier than borrowing her moms car. Luckily I didn't mind driving because it meant I had the power of the radio.
We got into the car and I backed out and started heading to the venue. Danielle held her VIP passes in her hand and she had a massive smile across her face. I knew she wanted me to blast her music but if I was going to have to listen to it tonight I ain't driving to it.
We got to the venue, I paid the crazy $20 to park at the closest parking lot and we walked towards the building. Already tons of girls screaming and crying were there. What the hell did Danielle get me into?
We went to the gate for VIP ticket holders. No one was there yet. We walked up and a woman was there. She looked at our tickets, pulled out wristbands and wrapped them on our wrists. Danielle walked infront of me to the doors. My cell phone buzzed so I pulled it out of y pocket and saw it was a text from Anthony. Danielle opened the door and I walked through looking down to my phone.
"hey babe, I am sorry. Seriously I didn't mean to end it like that...I miss you"
Obviously I wasn't looking ahead of me because I suddenly slammed into someone.
I looked up and saw this cute guy smiling at mean almost nervous like I was gonna flip out at him.
"Oh I am so sorry, I was reading a text and wasn't looking. " I smiled and then turned around to Danielle's high pitched screams.
"Oh my GOSH is that NIALLL! JESS that is NIALL!" she was clenching onto my arm and pointing at him. He had a smile on his face.
My arm started to hurt so I pried her hand off.
"okay, ow. Danielle calm down.", I looked at the boy and smiled, " Sorry about that. And sorry about bumping into you." I looked to Danielle she was just standing there starring at him.
"Its alright, sorta used to it ya' know?" He smiled again. I was in shock. Irish accent? Holy crap. Hot. Then I realized who it was. One of the guys form the band.
"oh I get it now, you are in the band right?" He looked shocked.. opps? "I am just here for her, never really heard of you guys... no offense"
He laughed at me. " Living under a rock?"
"you guys that popular? I guess I do." He smiled at me and my heart melted. Danielle still was in shock and she had her phone out, probably tweeting.
"My name is Niall, and you are?" He extended a hand out to me. I took it and smiled, "Jessica."
A man appeared behind Niall, he turned and nodded to him.
"I have to get going, but I uh hope you enjoy the show and our music Jessica." He smiled again, and my heart did that stupid flip thing. "where are you two sitting?"
Danielle finally came back to reality and showed him her ticket. I guess she is still speechless.
"Ah, row one. Nice seats.", he winked at me. "Have a good night ladies, I will see you later!". He walked off, and I figured what he said by 'see you later' was him on stage.
Danielle grabbed my arms and starred at me,
"Holy shit! That was NIALL. To bad it wasn't Zayn but hello he was totally into you." She looked like a lunatic.
"Calm down, he is famous, he wouldn't wanna date someone who didn't even know who he was. AND he lives so far away... just don't worry about it." He did get my mind off of Anthony. Crap that stupid text was still on my phone, un-answered. I looked at my phone, thought about replying then remembered Niall. I clicked delete. I knew I didn't even have a chance with Niall nor even see him ever again after tonight but what ever, I didn't want Anthony back that was for sure.
