Everything Has Changed

Chapter 12

Best Friend by Jason Chen

You hadn't shown yourself for a year. You were back in tour and you were in LA for one of the final concerts you are going to have before going back to shooting. "Last one." You guys huddled for a prayer and cheered and hyped each other up. You weren't expecting anyone in the audience except for the fans so you weren't too anxious. You took one last deep breath before you stood onto the lift. "Good Luck Y/n!" The staff cheered for you as you were taken to the main stage. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" They screamed last minute thinking that they'd forget about it.

You faced the audience as you sung your heart out. You were talking to the fans when suddenly the light went out. The fans roared echoed the room as they sung happy birthday. The spotlights were on you, as you turned around. There was one light opened by the lift, as the person was being lifted the roared some more as you directed their attention to where they're pointing. Your eyes were teary, your smiles were wide, your legs were weak, and you're utterly surprise.

That person strolled towards you handing the bouquet of red roses while you stood there still blank and shocked. "Happy Birthday...love." He whispered on the mic that he was holding while crowd went wild. He gave his cute wide grin while he gazed at the stadium to the audience. He looked back at you and leveled his face onto yours with your nose parallel to each other as he scrunched his face. You smiled some more while he opened his arms for you to hug. He wrapped his arms around you as he grinned wider while the audience screamed some more.

You buried your face on his neck, embarrassed and blushing 'lightly'. You pulled away only to be held closer by the waist. You glanced at him while he started to speak onto the mic. "Well, hello everyone." His thick British accent echoed the stadium while everyone again started to freaked out. You laughed hiding your head at the back of his shoulder. "So as you know its this div's birthday and... I thought that it would be... a great plan to... surprise her." He made eye contact with you while you heard a fan scream 'just date already'. You burst into a fit of laughter.

Again you. YOU and your FANS burst into a fit of laughter while Tom stood there smiling. "And thats where I was going for!" He grinned while you drove your head toward his direction, in shock. The fans gasps and started cheering once again while Tom pointed at a big screen with a video playing.

"So we're here in LA with the squad." Your friends shouted when he turned the camera toward them. "And we're gonna surprise the girl on her concert tomorrow." The footage of them walking in the airport, goofing around, and being in the car explaining. "So we gathered some messages from the people you love and the people who love you so enjoy."

Your mom, your dad, grandparents, cousins, cast members, your team, and friends (excluding him) gave a message. "So you might be wondering why am I not there? Or do I have a gift or message for her? Well I do but its much better to say it personally and in front of you." He took a glance at you again and started speaking once and for all. He got his phone and started reading his prepared speech making the audience laugh.

"I'm gonna get teased after this but..." He shrugged making the audience loose their shenanigans. "So before I get into my message I want to tell you a short story... she was on tour having a meet and greet while Harrison and I went to her concert. Little did I know that Harrison's other best friend was Y/n's cousin, ironic isn't it? So it was our turn and your girl said 'Oh Harrison good to see you'" He imitated your girly voice giving him a glare while he stuttered his way onto reading his message. "I was giving my best friend the look of 'you know each other! How dare you? Why didn't you tell me?!' You can clearly felt like betrayed and at some point excited that your friend knows your number one celebrity crush that you had posters, albums, and photos in your room. Yes, I'm just as die-heart as all of you." He said the last two sentence fast enough to understand yet embarrassed enough to admit while you were confused. "You did?"

He gave you a mischievous grin and went back to it. "So technically I had a huge no not huge— a massive crush on her." You were literally beaming and blushing, everything in between. "I didn't tell her cause you know... its a bit cliché to say but you she's my best friend and I can't— not that I can't I just don't like being blunt about that. Like imagine your celebrity crush being your best friend and partner in crime, both on and off screen. Its like a dream come true being a fan at the same time her best friend. There's a lot of things I knew about her, she is really kind, and very warm hearted human being. I'm not saying you aren't one."

You frowned playfully. "Now you know that I really wanted to wish her a happy happy birthday. Just know that I love you and we love you so much and it finding you, meeting you, and being your best friend would be one of the best thing that happened to me."

"So apparently I'm not the best thing?" You smirked at him pressuring him. " You didn't let me finish. That part was one but right now its up to you either to make today the best day of life or the day that would haunt me for life." You shrugged it off looking at the audience doubtfully.

You look back at him asking what would that be. "Be my girlfriend or be my girlfriend." Your smile dropped so as your jaw. The crowd screamed the loudest tonight while Tom was beaming at the audience with his tongue out. "Your serious?" You spoke without the mic asking for confirmation. "I am... does it look like I''m kidding." You were speechless. 'Say yes! Say yes!' Was being chanted while you were busy comprehending everything.

"So what's the answer, darling?" He said very English-ly hot as heck. "Why not—" the audience roared deafening. Tom engulfed you in a hug while your friends ran toward you wishing you a happy birthday and a congratulations. "I guess everything has changed?" You nodded hugging him while he whispered.

"I love you, 3000."
