I felt my phone buzz and tried to ignore it, it buzzed four times before I finally got up to check it. The light from my phone lit up the dark living room and I could see the other girls passed out on the couches and floor. 

I checked the time and it was only 3 am, I must have fell asleep a few hours ago. My phone had been spammed with tweets from ICONiacz because of the picture Nick tweeted of all of us. This had been going on from the minute he tweeted it and frankly I'm getting really annoyed.

I quickly checked my DMs before I was about to shut off my phone but stopped myself once i saw a DM from Nick, my heart raced and I almost dropped my phone. I read the simple DM "U awake?" he asked 20 minutes ago. 

What if he was sleeping now? I just possibly ruined my shot at talking to Nick, "I am now" I typed in before pressing send message. I waited 10 minutes for my phone to buzz and tell me that he responded but i got nothing. 

Just as i was about to give up and go back to sleep my phone buzzed, "@ICONicholicious has sent you a direct message" was the first thing I saw before quickly going to me DMs. 

"Did I wake you up?" he asked, I smiled to myself, he was still responding, this was like a dream come true. I thought about what to write "No your fans did, they've been tweeting and following me all day haha" I wrote before sending it to him. I heard someone move around and I completely froze.

"Carlie, are you awake?" Sam asked lifting her head up from her pillow. 

"Yeah, is everything okay?" I asked shifting my body so i was now looking at her even though it was hard to see her in the dark. 

"Yeah, I just thought I heard something, goodnight" she said getting comfortable and falling asleep. 

I looked back at my phone just to see another DM from Nick "Oh sorry, I'm going to bed, text me tomorrow 732-968-3465" at that exact moment i wanted to scream. Nick Mara had given me his number and wanted me to text him. 

"Goodnight" I typed in before shutting off my phone and falling asleep with a huge smile on my face.

I woke up to the sound of screaming, I quickly ripped the blanket off of me and ran outside only to find Stephanie and Ashley standing on top of the chairs we had outside on the patio. 

"What's going on?" I asked confused to why they were screaming. 

"There's a centipede!" Ashley screamed pointing to the nasty little thing running around on the floor. 

"Oh shit!" I panicked as it ran straight towards me, i quickly grabbed the broom that was placed against the wall and started whacking it until it died. 

"There it's dead, now let's go eat some breakfast" I said as I put the broom back to  it's original spot and went back inside. 

I searched through the cabinets looking for something to eat, I took out a jar of peanut butter and got the bread. 

"I don't like peanut butter" Stephanie mumbled nervously chewing on her bottom lip, i turned around to look at her, how does she not like peanut butter? 

"Do you like nutella?" I asked as I opened up the cabinets again and got out the jar of nutella that was only half full. 

"Of course, it's heaven in a form of food" Stephanie said adding a little laugh at the end. 

I sat at the kitchen table quietly eating my peanut butter sandwich contemplating whether or not to tell them about what happened last night. Maggie didn't tell us she had Madison's number and i don't think she would have if we didn't find out for ourselves. 

"I have to tell you guys something" I blurted out, they all turned to me confused. I took a deep breath before speaking. "Nick DMed me last night, we talked for a bit and he gave me his number" I explained. 

"So last night when I woke up, you were talking to him?" Sam asked, I nodded my head and looked around. 

I don't know why I was so nervous, none of them had said anything about it, they all just stared at me shocked. 

"Remember all those times you said that nothing would ever happen between you and Nick? You were wrong." Christina said with a huge smile on her face. 

"This doesn't mean anything" I mumbled taking another bite out of my delicious sandwich. 

"Yes it does! Carlie he doesn't just give out his number to all of his fans. You're special. We all knew it from the moment he saw you at the beach. The way he looked at you like you were the prettiest girl he's ever seen. He has a thing for you" Dodie spoke trying to change my mind. 

I thought about it for a while, could she be right? I knew Nick looked at me for a while when we met at the beach but i didn't think it meant anything. Could this be actually happening? The boy i've loved for about two years had finally noticed me, could I be more than a fan? 

"I guess we'll see how it goes tonight" I said shrugging my shoulders and dusting the bread crumbs off of me.
