Two years later...

Emma's POV
"Baby you light up my world like nobody else.." "ALANA! TURN THE STATION" I yelled at her since she had the music up so high. We were in my room reading magazines and talking about boys when his song came on. She shook her head and started screaming the lyrics. "BUT WHEN YOU SMILE AT THE GROUND IT AIN'T HARD TO TELL YOU DON'T KNOW, OH OH, YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE-" She was cut off when I turned the radio off. She glared at me and I just smirked. Alana's my best friend I met here in America. I now live in Dallas Texas and it's been two years since I moved, and two years since the whole Harry situation. I now have glasses, and I gained a bit of weight but now I don't look like a bag of bones like I did before. I was sad about Harry at first but now I'm more angry than sad which is a whole lot easier. I would've forgotten all about him if Alana wasn't so obsessed with him and his band. Apparently Harry's been doing great without me. His band One Direction, is number one in the whole world. Every station I listen to, is playing one of they're songs. Alana doesn't know about Harry and I'd like to keep it that way because if I did tell her, she wouldn't shut up about it. She already can't shut up about the fact that I'm from Cheshire, oh yeah she LOVES that little detail. She is the complete opposite of me. She's very loud, outgoing, and very personable. She loves makeup and she's the first to start the conversation I mostly just listen to her because she talks so much. Which I don't mind I'm a very quiet person in general. She has so many friends, she even introduced me to my boyfriend Blake. He's just amazing and so sweet. He's also very out going too. He always starts the conversation which again I don't mind at all. It's just so nice to get over Harry and move on. "Please Em, just turn the radio back on, we don't have to listen to them I just really want to listen to music"I rolled my eyes and turned the radio on but changed the station. "The new boy band One Direction is taking the world by storm-" I rolled my eyes and turned the station again. "The new British boy band One Direction is conquering the world one country at a time-" I groaned and turned the station again. "One Directions new album Take me Home has hit number 1 in the U.S and the UK breaking records not even the Beetles could achieve-" I quickly turned off the radio and sat on my bed. God he's everywhere. In stores, on billboards, in magazines. I just can't get away from him. "Can I ask you a question Em?" "Yeah" I looked at her. "Why do you hate One Direction so much" I sighed and closed my eyes. "I don't hate them, I'm sure they're all nice guys but, I don't know they're everywhere. In stores, on billboards, online, the radio it's all just very annoying" I huffed. Alana sighed "yeah I get that" I nodded "yeah" I whispered, if only she knew. "So" I said trying to change the subject "are you excited about your birthday?" "Oh yeah I'm sooo ready to party" I smiled and shook my head. "So you are definitely having a party" I asked kinda nervously. When Alana throws a party, the whole school shows up and there's always beer involved, and besides parties are not my thing. "That I'm not so sure about" she giggled. "We'll you have 2 weeks to figure it out" she looked around. "So speaking of my birthday, my parents gave me my present early" I looked at her confused. "Really why? What was it new shoes?" "Well it's not a thing per say it's um" "what was it food, a gift certificate and if so why would they give it to you early?" She looked at me nervously. "They're concert tickets and I can bring a friend" I wasn't surprised, Alana's parents are both the best lawyers in all of Dallas, and make very good money. "That's awesome are you gonna take Sam" I only ask because concerts aren't really my thing either. Anything that involves people really isn't my thing. "Well I was hoping you could go with me" ok now I was shocked. "Really why?" "You're my best friend Emma and you've been there for me through everything, and I really want to share this experience with you" she looked at me with such hope. I felt kinda bad, my anxiety has a field day every time I go to school, how on earth am I gonna go to a concert? "Um, well whose concert is it" she looked so guilty. "One Direction" I went wide eyed. "Yeah, no" she huffed. "Come on Em, my parents got us really good seats" "wait how did your parents get tickets I thought all their tickets were sold out?" "They are, my parents bought them months ago, please Em, I gotta see my idols" she said making a puppy dog face. "They're coming to Dallas?" "Oh no the concert's in Toronto, they even got us a hotel and everything" "just the two of us" she nodded excitedly. "What about school?" "It's over spring break" I sighed. I can't do this, I can't see Harry again, I don't want to see him again. He hurt me and I'm not looking back. Ever. "Alana, I can't" "can't or won't Emma?" "I just think that my anxiety would sky rocket if I went" i replied. That's not a total lie I would be very anxious because of all the people screaming, and seeing Harry but Alana doesn't need to know that part. "I know but Em I'll be there too and if it gets too overwhelming you can just call Trish" she said trying to cheer me up. Trish was my therapist here in America and she's amazing, but that's not the point. "Look Al, I can't risk it ok it's too much" "but Em" "no Alana I'm not going ok no matter what you say so just drop it" I said getting irritated. "Em" "DROP IT ALREADY OK IM NOT GOING SO FORGET IT" I yelled at her. I saw tears in her eyes, I've never yelled at her before or anyone but I can't tell her the real reason why I can't go. "Fine, I just wanted to go on an awesome adventure with my best friend for my birthday but I guess not. Whatever" she said in a snippy tone. "Just forget it" she said as she left my room and shut the door. I started to pace as tears streamed down my face. I didn't want to hurt her but I don't know what else to do. Maybe I should go, no no that's a terrible idea. I should not go, should I? Ugh this is all so frustrating. Who can I talk to about this? I couldn't talk to mum about this she's at work and Trish she doesn't know about Harry and I don't want to make it seem like I'm lying. I sighed and pulled out my phone and scrolled through my contacts. I don't have anyone else besides Blake. Wait I could call him but he doesn't know about Harry either. Maybe it could help or maybe not. Either way, I need to ask someone for advice. I scrolled through my contacts and stopped at his name and pressed call. I silently waited while it rang and he finally picked up. "Hey babe" he was always so happy to talk to me. "Hi love" "are you ok, you sound sad" I sighed "Alana and I had a fight" "what why?" "Her parents got her One Direction tickets for her birthday and I told her I didn't wanna go but she kept begging me and I freaked out on her" I said feeling guilty. "Babe why don't you just go to support her I mean it is her birthday" I sighed. "I know but I'm scared" "what are you scared of" Crap I didn't mean to say that out loud. "Just of the people I mean it's not like they're playing little bars and clubs they're the biggest boy band in the world" "all the more reason you should go" "what" I asked confused. "Babe their tickets are probably very hard to get, not to mention very expensive. It's very important to Alana and she chose you to share this experience with her because you're her best friend and I know it would mean the world to her if you went" I sighed. "She did say her parents got her really good seats." "Look babe if the roles were reversed and you asked her to go, you know she would do it for you" he was right. I can't let this thing between me and Harry come in between us, besides it's not like I'm gonna talk to him. "Yea you're right, when did you become so wise?" "It comes with the looks" I laughed. "Now get off the phone and call her right now before it's too late" I sighed. "Ok I'll keep you posted" I smiled. "Ok baby" "love you" "bye babe" I hung up the phone and pouted. He never says he loves me and we've been dating for a year. Maybe it's just a boy thing I don't know I've got bigger problems to deal with right now. I quickly sent a text to Alana. Hey love, sorry about before, just the thought about going in public makes me very nervous, anyway I've been thinking and it sounds like a lot of fun so, count me in! -Me
I instantly regret that text and I started to panic. I was about to back out again when my phone buzzed. Really that's great! You're the best friend anyone could ever ask for! I'll text you the details when I get home thank you Emma! Thank you like a million times! -Alana
I sighed, well there's no going back now. I really hope its not a total disaster, but then again, it's not like I have to talk to him, he probably won't even see me, so I have that going for me. I put my phone down and collapsed on my bed. I stared at my ceiling letting my mind race. "This is a good thing" I said to myself. "It's gonna be a fun trip I know it" I got up, straightened my glasses and opened my math textbook. "I'm gonna be ok...I think"
