Chapter 4
*Tiannas POV*
The room started to spin, he was going to think I was stalker. He was going to leave and hate me and tell everyone I was creepy. Even though they had just moved here too, that's what he told me, everyone knew them because they were such a popular band.
A million scenarios played through my head but the only one that made sense was the one where he hated me. The one where he got mad and thought I was stalking him and moved here because I wanted to "marry him". The scenario where he wouldn't want to listen to my pleas of "my dad got a job here that's why we moved!" And "I didn't know you guys moved here! I was shocked!" No, he would hate me.
My heart stopped as his eyes made his way across my room. I studied him looking for any signs that he thought I was creepy or that he hated me. But no, nothing. Instead, a smile spread across his lips. A bit playful but mostly in humor. He was amused by this, amused!
"If I knew you already were aware of who I was I wouldn't have needed to introduce myself at the door!" He said letting out a chuckle.
"So, you're not creeped out?" Answering in amazement, my jaw hung open.
"I'm just wondering why you didn't say you were a fan in the first place." Rian said running his hand through his hair.
"Well...I wanted to make some friends here because I just moved here. We all can't be rock stars like some people in the room." Rian blushed and I continued explaining. "When you rang the doorbell-FYI I had no clue you guys moved here- I didn't want to scare you away by already knowing who you were. I wanted to show you that I was a normal girl that wasn't some creepy fan. I wanted to start school knowing someone wanted me around." Rushing it all out at once hoping he would decide to stick around.
He walked over to my dresser picking up my box filled with all the concert tickets and looked at me for approval to open it. I nodded yes and he took out the stack that I had and ran his hands through the thin paper.
"You're an awesome person Tianna, trust be. You being a fan just makes this 100% better. We now have someone to judge our music that isn't our parents." He stated not looking up from the concert tickets. His white smile showed through when he got to the tickets of his band.
"Mmmm you've seen us three times?" Rian asked pursing his lips.
"I've meet you guys one time also" I said shyly looking down at my bare feet.
"When?!?!?"
"Ummm probably about a year ago. I was with my friend cassadee."
I sat on my bed and sank in from how soft it was. I hugged my white pillow and tucked my legs underneath me so that I was sitting Indian style. I wanted so desperately to tell him everything, to spill my guts. I buried my head into the pillow and let a tear escape. I quickly dried my eyes so he wouldn't notice.
Rian came and sat next to me and put his had under my face so that I was staring into his eyes. I think at that point I just about melted. I smiled and so did rian. He enveloped me in a hug, I felt his warm breath on my neck.
"Hey hey, when you want to open up you can talk to me. Don't worry I won't judge." He said
I breathed a sigh of relief into his shoulder. He accepted me and now I had made my first friend here in Baltimore and his name was Rian Dawson.
----
Rian had called me the morning after and told me to be outside my house dressed and ready to go by 11. He said he had a surprise.
I woke up at 9 and slipped on my fuzzy slippers. I had to admit I was excited for today. My stomach flipped at the thought of what the surprise may be.
I flicked the light on in my closet and sorted through every piece of clothing I had. I felt satisfied with my black hoodie and white skinny jeans. I went to the bathroom and put on some eyeliner and decided I would straighten my hair today. Halfway through rian called me to tell me to wear a dress, making me change.
I went back to the closet and changed into my floral print lily Pulitzer dress that hugged my body perfectly. I had no clue of this dress still fit me but with the noise of the zipper it gave me satisfaction that I did still fit.
By the time I was done it was 10:15 and I had time to burn. I decided I would watch some supernatural before rian arrived. I made myself a bowl of fruit loops and sat my ass on the couch.
*45 minutes later*
"CAS DAMN IT JUST KISS HIM ALREADY MY GOD!!!!" I screamed at the tv hoping they would kiss. Spoiler alert: they didn't. As I got up to put the bowl of cereal in the sink the doorbell rang. I slipped in my black converse and stepped out side to be greeted by the warm sun and no one in front of me.
Suddenly someone grabbed me from behind and blindfold.
"SON OF A BITCH!" I screamed
I heard a shhh and a hand go on my back. I didn't know if this was the surprise or not but I was not liking being man handled. Not one bit.
I was shoved into a car and we drove for what seemed like an hour. I knew it was just rian and I because he told me it was him after i slapped him for manhandling me. Also, because he reprimanded me for cursing because he always has to act brotherly.
He made me keep the blindfold on though. Where were we going? The questions passed through my mind and out through my mouth about 50 times. By the time we got there I was starving.
Rian stopped the car abruptly and lead me out, being my only sense of way. By this point a huge smile was plastered onto my face and I couldn't wait to see what was awaiting me.
