Summer Love ~ L.P.
Chapter 1
I’m Jessalyn Martin, and I’m seventeen. I’ve just entered a contest to go on tour with One Direction for the summer. My mom is all for it, while my dad doesn’t think I should go. He thinks they’re too old for me, which is true, I must admit, but I don’t care.
Anyways, I was taking my afternoon nap when there was a knock at the door. I sat up and told whoever it was to come in.
Mom came in and gave me the cordless phone. “Phone for you,” she said.
“Hello?” I said into the phone.
“Hello, is this Jessalyn Martin?” the male voice said on the other end.
“This is she.”
“I’m pleased to inform you that you’re going on tour with One Direction this summer!”
I squealed. “Oh, my God! This has been my dream ever since I became a fan! Thank you so much! When am I leaving?!”
“You’ll get on a plane and fly to Stockholm on June 12th. That’s where you’ll meet them.”
“Awesome! I can’t wait to finally meet my idols!”

“You’ve got that history final coming up,” Daddy reminded me.
“Yeah, so? I start AFTER school lets out!” I said.
“What I’m saying is, if you don’t ace that final, you can’t go. And at the rate you’re going studying for it, you can kiss your precious little boy band goodbye.”
“Honey, let her go! It’s the chance of a lifetime!” Mom said.
“No! Education comes first! Now, I’m willing to tutor you, Jess, but you have to commit to studying. Alright?”
“Okay.”
The next day in first bell, I told my friend Andy Mauritzon about going on tour with One Direction. She stared wide-eyed at me for a minute before saying in her Swedish accent, “Oh, my God! You don’t know how jealous I am!”
“Why are you jealous of Jessalyn?” Aubrey Castinelli asked.
“She’s going on tour with One Direction this summer!” Andy spilled.
By the time the bell rang for class to start, the whole female class population had gathered around my desk to hear the good news.
“You’ll have to tell us ALL about it when you get back!” Caitlyn Swope said. “And give Louis my number!”
I giggled. “Sure.”

For the next month, Daddy helped me study for the history final. I was determined to meet One Direction, so I worked my ass off. When it came time for the final, I aced it with flying colors.
On June 12th, I packed my bags and my passport (my parents and I had gone to Canada last summer) and headed for the Wetumpka airport. Once I got on the plane, I plugged my headphones into my iPod and started listening to One Direction on shuffle.
Several hours later, we landed in Stockholm. The local time was 7 am, and it was 75 with a high of 85.
I deplaned with my carry-ons and, after going through customs, headed for baggage claim, where the guys were sleeping in chairs waiting for me. There was an empty seat next to Liam, so I sat there and started playing with his hair to wake him up.

Liam’s POV
The lads and I had fallen asleep waiting for our contest winner when I felt someone playing with my hair. I opened my eyes and saw the most beautiful girl in the world. She had brown hair with pink highlights in it and the most gorgeous hazel eyes. I pinched myself to see if I was still dreaming, but I wasn’t. She was really there. She giggled before saying, “Hi, I’m Jessalyn. I won your contest.” She had a beautiful southern accent.
