It's Always Been You

One

Chelsea's POV
It's already been a long day and I just got here. At least it's Friday. My name is Chelsea Raine Stewart and I'm 29 years old. I've been a dental hygienist in Atlanta for almost 10 years. I grew up in a small town called Macon. That's the place I'll always call home. "Chelsea, are you excited about tonight?" My best friend Cameron asks. "Yeah. I guess as excited as I can be for a night that I know nothing about." I say with a grin.  Cameron knows that I hate surprises and apparently, this is a big one. I feel like the day drags on, but it's finally 5:00, so I can head home to get ready.

It's about 6:15 when Cameron walks in my house. "Chels, are you ready?" She asks as I'm sliding on my boots. "Damn girl! You look hot!" She says a little too excited. "What are we doing tonight anyway?" I ask hoping that she will actually tell me. "If I tell you, you have to promise not to get mad." I nod my head nervously and Cameron smiles. "We are going to the Jason Aldean concert. I even got us meet and greets." "Cameron, noooo. I can't go to that. I haven't seen or spoken to him in years." I say starting to freak out. Jason and I grew up in Macon together. We were a few years apart but we were best friends. I was 16 and he was 19 when he moved to Nashville. We had gotten in a huge fight the night before he left and we haven't spoken to each other since. "Come on Chelsea. It's way past time for you to talk to him." "Fine, but if this goes wrong, it's all your fault." I say grabbing my things and walking out the door.

Jason's POV
"Jason, it's time for meet and greet!" My manager yells as he walks on to my bus. I follow him to meet and greet and I'm shocked by how long the line is. Like always, it's mostly girls who tell me how hot I am and ask if I'm single. I'm polite and hug them and tell them to enjoy the show after I sign their stuff and take a picture. I'm thirty minutes into the meet and greet and I'm almost done. "Hi, I'm Cameron!" This girl is kind of cute. She's not all over me like most of them. "It's nice to meet you. Do you have anything that you want me to sign?" She hands me a CD and then we pose for a picture. "Oh, I believe you know my friend Chelsea." The girl says and walks off. "When I look up, I see that the girl in line is my old friend, Chelsea.

"Chelsea Raine, is that you?" I ask making sure that I'm not dreaming. "The one and only in the flesh." She says nervously. I do the only thing that I know to do and I walk up and hug her. "It's been way too long. Are you staying for the show?" I ask her hopeful. "Yeah, we will be front and center by the stage." "We can talk after, ok?" "You got it."

Chelsea's POV
Seeing Jason again was almost like we haven't missed a bit. And let me tell you, time has been very good to him. He's always been sexy to me but now I think he is sexier. "Come on Chelsea. Stop thinking like that. He's always only thought of you as a friend. Nothing more." I think to myself. I finally meet up Chelsea and make our way to the pit to watch the show.
