A week after the impromptu sleepover, Liam and I had been messaging each other every minute we could. Of course there was the back and forth flirting, but there was also more to it. I felt like Liam was becoming a friend. Of course Leah and I are close, but Liam just seemed to have a different side to things. I was beginning to fall harder for him the more I talked to him.

Of course Leah knew about Liam. She was incredibly supportive and excited for me. She was the only one who knew. My parents got suspicious about my texting. I think that was the only hint that I ever gave off. Mom and dad didn't even tell Ryder about the boys staying at the house the night before. They felt that she would be upset. So everything about the boys was on the down low anyway, so my parents didn't even bring them up.

Ryder was at dance class one day when I sat down at the bar in the kitchen and called Liam.

"Hello?" he answered

"Hey, it's me!" I smiled

"Aw, I missed hearing your voice! How are you?"

"I'm good, just wanted to talk for a few. When is the next time you'll be coming out my way?"

"I wanted to talk to you about that as well. I don't see us all coming anytime soon. Our schedule is so jam packed at the moment. But. If you're willing to fly, I can get your plane ticket, a hotel and your tickets to the concert. It's in a couple days. Bring Leah, Sarah and Ryanne."

"Uh, I don't know, Liam."

"Why not?"

"I'm not one for crowds. I just…I have a rough time."

"Front row. Come hang out afterwards with me and the boys?"

"What do I tell my parents?"

"Tell them it's a gift to Ryder. From you. After all, you are the one bringing her. I promise, it'll be worth your time."

"I just…"

"I miss you, Ryanne. Please come."

"Okay. We will be there." I smiled

"Awesome! I'll ship all the stuff to you tonight. It'll be there tomorrow morning. I have to work the details and stuff out, though. So, I'll talk to you in a bit, alright?"

"Yeah. Thank-you Liam."

"You don't have to thank me, love. In the end, I get to see you. That's better than anything! I'm gonna go sort things through. I'll talk to you soon. Bye!"

I hung up the phone and smiled until my cheeks hurt. I decided not to say anything to anyone until tomorrow morning when everything came in the mail. Then I had explaining to do.

Leah came over that night to sleepover. Ryder and Sarah were playing some dancing video game downstairs.

"So, Liam and I talked today."

"Yeah?" she smiled in anticipation

"He wants us, Ryder and Sarah to go to a concert. He has everything payed for. He shipped the package out last night."

"You're kidding?!" she smiled even bigger. "I'm totally down! That sounds awesome!"

"Yeah, I get to see him. He got us a hotel, a limo, plane tickets, four front row tickets, and we take off tomorrow."

Leah screeched in excitement.

"So should I talk to Mom and Dad tonight or tomorrow?"

"Tonight. Definitely."

So Leah and I went downstairs to the back patio to talk to my parents. They were sitting there by the pool, each drinking a cup of iced tea.

"Mom? Dad? Can I talk to you?" I asked as they both looked up. Leah and I each sat on a patio chair.

"What's up, sweetheart?" Dad asked

"Well…you guys know the band that Ryanne is obsessed with? One Direction? The boys who stayed here last week? Well, Liam and I have been talking. And we both really like each other. And…I miss him. He's going to be doing a concert a couple hours away the day after tomorrow. He invited Leah, me, Ryder and Sarah to go. He got us tickets and transportation and a hotel. We just need your permission."

"When would you leave?" my dad sat up, intrigued.

"Tomorrow. Everything will be here by morning time. The tickets and everything."

There was a brief pause.

"I think this is something your father and I will have to discuss. We will talk to your parents about it too, Leah." Mom said. "We will have an answer for you by the end of the night. "

"Thanks mom, thanks dad" I said with a smile as Leah and I walked back into the house. We both smiled big, and tried to hide it as we walked through the house in order to avoid questions from Rory, Ryder or Sarah.

Leah and I had a great night with music and movies. Unfortunately, we had both fallen asleep before we had gotten an answer from our parents.

The next morning, my mom woke us up.

"Are you guys all packed?" she smiled. Leah and I had just woken up, but we screamed. We were so excited, we could hardly contain ourselves. Leah took a shower and headed to her house. She took Sarah with her. Then I took a shower and packed my stuff. I went downstairs where Ryder was pulling her luggage to the front door.

"Ryanne! Where are we going?" she asked

"It's a surprise, but I promise that you'll love it." I smiled at her. Mom, Dad and Rory came along in the car so that they could take it back once we left. We headed to Leah's house to pick her and Sarah up.

Leah and Sarah stood out front with their parents. They kissed them goodbye and put their luggage in the trunk. Leah and I sat together and Sarah and Ryder sat together in the far back with Rory.

We got to the airport, boarded the flight, and soon enough, we were off. The flight only took around an hour and forty five minutes. But by the time we landed, we were exhausted. There were little 10 year old girls everywhere. Most had One Direction clothing plastered all over their little bodies.

We went to the luggage terminal. In the distance, I heard screaming girls. Lots of them. We waited and waited for our luggage to come around, but it didn't. We decided to turn around and go to the counter and see if they had any idea what was going on.

Once I turned around, the boys were all standing there with our luggage. I ran and hugged Liam. It was the biggest hug I had in a long time. He kissed me on the cheek. I heard Ryder and Sarah in the background scream. I backed up, and Leah, Ryder and Sarah were all hugging the boys individually. They had a few large men standing behind them. I'm guessing they were bodyguards. I turned and hugged the rest of the boys, and we turned and walked towards the exit with the boys carrying our luggage. Liam grabbed my hand and held it all the way out while hundreds of screaming girls were trying to follow us.
