Jordan
We've been back in the States for a week now, and I think I've finally gotten over Niall. I'm still a Directioner, but my heart is not letting me like one. Harry is with Lauren, Zayn is with Perrie, Louis is with Eleanor, and Liam, well, I hoped he would be with Danielle.
I have a new boyfriend. Ben Parks. He went to England with us and we played Marco Polo with him and his friends. He's really cute. But is it weird that I compare him to Niall? He acts a lot like Niall, but he's not Niall. I find myself wishing for Niall, but I can't go back to him, even if he'd have me after what I said to him that day in the bathroom. One thing's for sure: I will always love him. No matter what happens, he was my first real boyfriend, and nothing can change that. I can tell Ben likes me more than I like him. I'm just keeping him so I have a date to Prom. Speaking of Prom, obviously Lauren isn't going with Harry, so she's going with Adam, Ben's brother. I told Ben he should tell Adam to ask her to Prom, and he did. Lauren was smart in knowing Harry could never go to Prom with her, and she said yes.

"I'm so excited!" I said. Lauren was curling my hair while I was doing my makeup.
She was wearing a beautiful, strapless, aquamarine dress with rhinestones on the neckline.
I had a coral pink strapless dress with that clear, sparkly satin stuff over the busom. They were both silk, and the boys' corsages were going to match them.
They were real silk because Harry wanted to buy our dresses since he couldn't go with Lauren. It makes my job easier. And, since our dresses are custom made, no one will have the same one as us! That would be the most embarrassing thing ever!
Adam and Ben were picking us up at six to go to dinner before the dance. And since they were brothers, they rented a limo for us to ride in so they don't have to take two cars or have anyone sit in the back. I don't think I've ridden in a limo before! Yay!
It was five fifty-five when Lauren and I walked downstairs.
"Oh there they are!" Lauren's mom called as she started taking pictures of us.
"Oh great. I completely forgot about pictures," Lauren muttered.
"Mom," I said through a smile. "Why do you have to take a bajillion picture of us?!"
"Honey! You only go to Prom once!" She said as she snapped another picture.
"I plan on going twice. I'm a junior. And don't we need to wait for the boys?" I replied.
"Oh, yeah. I forgot about them!" Our mothers laughed.
Ding dong.
"Oh, that must be Adam and Ben," my mother said as she opened the door. "Hello boys!"
"Hi, Mrs. Caudell," they answered. "Hi, Mrs. Huhn."
"Hey," Lauren and I said at the same time.
"Picture time!" Mrs. Huhn called.
About two hundred pictures later, the four of us finally walked out to the limo. We were going to Red Robin because it was closest to the Prom. It's like my favorite restaurant ever.
"So Jordan, how was the rest of your trip in London?" Ben asked.
"It was amaZAYN! We went to a One Direction concert and we got to meet them. It was so cool!" I could tell Lauren was listening to me; so I was careful with what I said. "They were all so nice."
"That's cool. I bet you have a lot of work to catch up on," Ben teased.
"Not really. We brought some work with us to work on in London. We actually got the majority of it done."
"Wow. Impressive," Ben said with a smile. He was a football star, and that was another great reason to go to Prom with him. Talk about popularity! I know Lauren liked being seen with the most popular boys in school! I certainly did!

"Hey, guys! They're playing a slow song!" Adam said. "We should go dance!"
"Okay," Lauren and I shrugged.
Ben took my wrists, and Adam took Lauren's as they led us out to the dance floor. Their hands slid down to our waists and our hands rose up to their necks.
"OMG! This is like my favorite song ever!" I whispered loudly to Ben.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Wind Beneath My Wings from Beaches."
"Oh. I've never seen that."
"Me either. My mom always said she would show it to me... Oh well."
Just then, two boys walking alone with tuxes on came in. One blonde, and one curly brunette. Oh my gosh! This cannot be happening! What will I say to Ben?!
"Hey, would you excuse me for a moment?" I asked as I motioned to Lauren to follow me.
"Sure," he said and walked over to his brother.
"They're here!" I hissed.
"What?! Oh my gosh! This wasn't supposed to happen! What do you think they want? Oh, wait, I know. You don't!" She giggled.
I gave her a weird look as I walked over to them.
Harry saw me coming, then patted Niall on the back and whispered something I couldn't make out. After that, he walked over to Lauren.
"Hi, Niall," I said shyly.
"Hello, Love," he said. Oh, good. He must not hate me then, or maybe it's my natural, American naivety.
"What are you doing here?" I asked. Whenever I get worried or anxious, I always cross and uncross my legs-while I'm standing up.
"I couldn't let you just run away now could I?" He grinned.
"What? But I was so rude to you!" I protested. "I'll never be good enough for you!"
"You already are. And I love you that way. I realized you're still the one. I know you are. I've never felt the way I have with you before. I hope that one day, we can spend eternity together." And with that, he pulled out a promise ring. "Will you wait for me, Jordan?"
"Yes. A thousand times yes!" I nodded as he slipped the ring on my finger. "But if you'll excuse me, there's someone I've got to go talk to before the end of the night. "
"Of course, Love," Niall said.
I had to tell to Ben. I couldn't leave him in the cold. He would make a great husband someday, just not for me.
"Ben?" I began. "Can I talk to you?"
"Uh, yeah. Sure," he walked away with me.
"I've had a really great week with you. But I realized that you're not the one, and I found the one who is already. So you think you could let me go?"
"Of course, Jordan. Friends?"
"Always," I said as he pulled me in for one last hug. "See you around Ben."
I walked back to Niall. "I just broke up with my boyfriend of one week. Is it possible to feel like a slut, even if you're still a virgin?"
"Um, I don't know. I'm a guy,so..." Niall trailed off.
"Oh yeah. Sorry," I laughed.
Lauren and Harry were on their way over.
"You ready to go?" Harry asked.
"Sure," Niall responded.
Just then, a group of people holding black cameras walked in to the room.
"Dear God!" Harry exclaimed. "They found us." With that he took Lauren's hands and they began ballroom dancing on their tiptoes straight through the paparazzi.
I turned to Niall, not knowing what to do next. He shrugged and picked me up and carried me bridal style to the limo they had brought.
"I knew my prince would come!" I said dreamily.
"And that he did," Niall grinned as he set me down in the white limousine.
When Niall had sat down, he leaned over and kissed me. A real kiss. I kissed back, enjoying every second of it.
"Excuse me!" I heard Lauren say as we broke apart. "I said how was your night?"
Niall burst out laughing, and the rest of us followed suit, even the driver.
We laughed the whole way home. Our mothers would be really confused. And I wondered if they would know who we had with us.
The driver pulled us to a stop, and got out to open the door.
"Thank you!" Lauren and I said as we got out. Harry and Niall linked their arms through ours as we walked up the steps to Lauren's house. She opened the door, and we heard our mothers talking in the kitchen. She motioned for us to come in quietly and we snuck through the living room and dining room while she closed the door. Harry, Niall and I waited in a corner of the dark dining room for Lauren to catch up. Harry picked Lauren up bridal style, and Niall did the same to me. We quietly walked into the kitchen as I heard my mom scream. We all started laughing.
"Wow, mom!" I said. "Didn't know criminals would sneak up on you!"
"Honey! You almost gave me a heart attack! And where are Ben and Adam?" She craned her neck to look for them. "And who are these boys? They look like Harry and Niall from One Direction."
"Mom, they're at the dance. And they are Harry and Niall." I said calmly.
"Then why aren't you screaming, my dear?" My mom said.
"Because we know them. And... We're dating," I cringed, what if she was mad?
"What the heck?!" Mrs. Huhn exclaimed.
"Yeah, Mom," Lauren said. "We are. "
Absolute shock came over them. Their eyebrows raised and their mouths dropped open.
Then, my mom passed out.
Oh no.

Notes

So I decided to change the title of this chapter because it makes more sense. Hope you're enjoying! I'll try to update tomorrow! Love you!
