CHAPTER 3

LILY POV

"Okay guys, I think i might have to leave Cole."

"WHAT!? You have been dating him for 2 years! I thought you were soul mates!" Charlotte exclaimed standing up from the couch.

"No!" I giggle. "That's not what I meant Char."

She sits back down awkwardly, "I knew that." We all smile at her and she just sits back in the couch pursing her lips.

"Okay what I was trying to say is I can't bring Cole to the concert with us. Cole pointed out today that Grace was a HUGE fan of One Direction and so I think I should bring her. That could be her early birthday present! You know? Even though her birthday is a few weeks away."

"I don't care who comes. If you want to bring her I think it's a great idea." Char states.

"Yeah." Chloe continues, "I like Grace."

"Okay. That settles it. I will tell Cole and Grace the news." I stand up and shuffle over to me purse and shoes. I am wearing a pair of dark skinny jeans and a white ruffle tom and a navy cardigan. The bracelet Cole bought me hangs from my wrist with only 2 charms because he gets me one every year we are together. My rose colored Toms make me smile because I love the color of them. "I'm heading over there to get dinner with Cole so I will be back at like 9:30…..ish."

They both wave and turn the tellie on. I giggle at them already engrossed in the show they were watching. "Kiss, kiss!" I yell and here them both reply as I shut the door of our house. "Love you." They mumble. I open the door of my car and slide onto the seat putting the key in and starting it swiftly. Coles house is only a few minutes away but I switch on the radio and pull out of the drive way.

TIME SKIP

"Hey sweetie." I say with a smile.

"Hi Lil." He replies pulling me into his arms. Cole still lives in his childhood home with his sister and parents. His family is very close so he doesn't mind that he is still here at 20 but he is definitely planning on a apartment for by his 21st birthday. "Bad news." I say trying to look sad. "You can't come to the concert." His face is full of emotions mostly confused though. "I found someone better to take." At this he takes a step back in shock.

"What? Who?"

"Gracie!" I yell up the stairs.

"Not fair!" He says in a whiny brother voice. I look towards the stairs and I see Coles 16 year old sister Graclynn appear at the top of the stairs. She sees me and comes out from around the corner bounding down the stairs. She smiles and hugs me when she reaches the bottom.

"What's up with grumpy pants here?" She says pointing to her brother who is pretending to pout, I have to admit it is really cute but I have to tell Grace the news.

"Just forget him" I say laughing at his hurt face when I say that. "I have a early birthday present for you."

"Oh cool!" her gaze travels to her brother and I can see she is trying to figure out what is going on but her gaze returns to me and I finish. "I thought that you might want to come to a concert that Char got us into. I think it could be a lot of fun."

"Oh cool thanks Lily! Who is it?"

"Oh… um… One Direction?" Her jaw drops and I keep going. "Yeah. That's it." I barely finish before I am enveloped in the arms of Grace and squeezed so hard I can barely breathe. To be honest I didn't no she had the strength in her.

"I have to go tell Annie!" She runs up the stairs disappearing around the corner once again. I wait a second and she appears again, "Thank you so much!" She squeals with the phone in her hand now.

"I'm still sad I'm not going." I look bad to Cole and he is still pouting. Walking up to him I put my hands on his chest and look up at him.

"Do you think you can forgive me?" I whisper running my hands across his stomach and kissing his neck softly.

"May-be" his voice cracks as he says it and I giggle at him.

"I will miss you at the concert." I say grabbing his hand.

"Good. Now let's get going." He says pulling me out the door. As we leave I am pleased with my decision.

TIME SKIP

I quietly sneak up to my door and slip the key in the lock. I got it a little later then I thought so when I opened the door at 11:00 I have to be careful not to make too much noise. I slip off my shoes and drop them in the closet wondering through the house to my room. I slip off my sweater and my jeans. Putting on a pair of shorts, I replace my shirt with a simple t-shirt and slide silently down the hallway to the bathroom. The door creaks a little but I slip into the doorway so I don't have to open it too much. I am out of makeup remover so I grab some random one from the shelf and take off my makeup. My bracelet goes on the little jewelry tree we have and I toss my thin brown hair up into a ponytail.

I sigh deeply breathing in the relaxing feeling of being in my room. I pull my covers up to my chin and hug my pillow against me. I can see the moon light shining through my window and I slowly drift to sleep with the stars shining on my face like my own personal guardian.
