It all started on my birthday. A day that's always special. But I never imagined it to be this special.
I woke up that morning, and instantly felt that rush of excitement; knowing that it was finally the day I've waited for for so long. It was my birthday. And I was finally a teenager! I smiled, "Yes!" I got up out of bed, got dressed, and brushed my hair. Then I walked out into the living-room. "Happy birthday!" My mom cried, and she hugged me. "Thanks!" I said. I looked around at all the balloons on the floor. 'Today is going to be awesome!' I thought.
Soon it was lunchtime, so I had hot dogs on the barbecue. Then it was time for cake! My mom pulled out the ice-cream cake I ordered from Dairy Queen, from the freezer. It had Greyson Chance's Waiting Outside The Lines piano on it. I watched as she stuck 13 candles on the cake, and lit them one by one. My mom, my dad, and my brother gathered around and sung 'Happy Birthday' to me.
"Make a wish!" My mom said. I closed my eyes, drained everything else out of my mind, and focused whole-heartedly on my wish. 'I wish I could meet Greyson Chance!' I thought. Then I blew out all the candles. Everyone clapped and cheered.
After we finished our pieces of cake, we got out all the presents. Just as I was about to tear the wrapping paper off the first one, I heard a loud noise coming from our driveway. I looked out the window, and saw this giant tour bus parked beside our driveway. "Hey, look at that! I wonder what it's doing here?" I said. Then I watched as someone got off the bus, and then I realized who it was. "No. Way. You have got to be joking!"
"What? Who is it?" My dad asked. "It's...it's...it just can't be!! Aaaaaa!! IT'S GREYSON CHANCE!!!!" I screamed. I burst out the front door, not able to hold in my excitement. I ran up the hill and flew into Greyson's arms. "Hey Jesse! Happy birthday!" He laughed, as he wrapped his arms around me in the most amazing hug! "I...how...what...?" I stammered. I was shaking with excitement and wonder. "Aw, you're shaking! Shhh, it's ok!" He whispered soothingly, as he tightened his embrace around me.
My mind was racing; How in the world did Greyson Chance know where I lived, what my name was, and that it was my birthday? "I...I wished for you, when I blew out the candles on my birthday cake!" I whispered. He smiled. "I just knew someone wished for me today. So... can I come in and join the party or what?"
"Oh, of course! Definitely!" I let go of Greyson and we started down the hill to my house. I opened the door and said, "This, is my house." We both stepped inside. "Wow! nice
place!" Greyson exclaimed. "Thanks! Oh, and this is my mom, my dad, and my brother, Cody." I said, gesturing to each family member. He smiled and waved, "Hey!"
"Come on! Lets go to my room!" I grabbed Greyson by the hand and took him to my room.
"Wow, this is your room? It's so cool!" He said, once we entered my room. "I know right? Come, sit!" I said, as I sat down on my bed and patted a spot next to me. He sat down and pulled out his iPod Touch. I watched as he went to Twitter and tweeted 'Surprised a fan by visiting her house on her birthday! Happy 13th birthday horselover260! I love you so much!(:'
I smiled, "Aww thank-you! I love you too!" I gave him a big hug.
After a while we started talking, laughing and taking random, goofy pictures of us with the cameras on our iPods. I asked if I could look at the music he had on his iPod, and he said 'Sure!' and handed it to me. As I was surfing through his songs, I caught him looking at me. We made eye contact, and he smiled and said, "I love you." All I could do was smile and say, "I love you, too." I watched as Greyson leaded in close, and I closed my eyes as our lips touched. It was my very first kiss. And I was kissing Greyson Chance! It was like nothing I've ever felt before. It wasn't awkward, it just felt, so right.
When we pulled away, I could only manage to say, "Wow." Then I smiled and found myself saying, "Hey, does this mean you're not single anymore?" I gave him a playful shove.
Greyson laughed and said, "Haha, you're funny! And so beautiful."
I blushed, "Thanks!"
He sat up and said, "So...do you wanna see the birthday present I got you?"
"There's more? I thought getting to meet you, getting a tweet from you, AND kissing you was the present!" I laughed.
"Haha, nope! There's more!" He stood, took my hand, and helped me up off the bed. Then he stood behind me and covered my eyes with his hands.
I giggled, "Greyson, you don't have to do that!"
"I know. But I want to! Ok, no peaking!"
He lead me across the room and stopped to open the bedroom door. Then we continued our way into the living-room. We stopped, then he took his hands away from my eyes and said, "Ok, you can open your eyes now." I opened my eyes and stood in complete shock at what was in front of me. A large, black, grand piano with tons of scattered words printed in white, in all different sizes and fonts.
"But Greyson, your piano!"
"Don't worry! I'll just get another one! You can have this one!"
"But I don't know how to play pian..." He interrupted me, "I'll teach you." and gave me the most adorable smile.
"Oh Greyson, it's the best birthday present ever!" I gave him a huge hug. "Can you teach me now? Pleeaase??!"
"Sure! Why not?" He laughed. We both sat down at the piano, and Greyson started explaining how to read sheet music. Then he gently placed his hand on mine, and helped me press all the right keys.
By the end of the first hour of Greyson teaching me how to play the piano, I got the beginning of 'Waiting Outside The Lines' down pat! As I played, we started singing along to the music. I was surprised of how good I sounded, and my voice sounded even better with Greyson singing with me!
Soon the time came that Greyson had to leave. We were standing at the end of the driveway, the orange and pink glow of a sunset shining in the horizon.
"I wish you didn't have to go."
"I know. I'm really gonna miss you, Jesse."
"I'll miss you too, Greyson!" I said as I choked back the tears.
"Aw! Come here." He pulled me into a caring hug. "Don't cry! I promise I'll see you again sometime! In fact," He paused as reached into his back pocket, "I know I'll see you again!" He pulled out two tickets. I gasped, "Two backstage passes for Hold On Til The Night! Are you serious?!"
"I am!"
"Oh Greyson, you're the best!" I cried. The tour bus's horn honked. "Oh, I better go. Can't keep my driver waiting!"
"I understand. And Greyson? This has been the best day of my entire life! Thank-you for everything!"
"You're welcome! I love you!"
"I love you too!" We kissed each other on the lips.
"Goodbye." He said.
"Goodbye." The bus doors opened, and he climbed on. The engine started up. We waved, until he was out of sight. I smiled and said to myself, "This is a day I will always remember."
