The Only One
Chapter One
I walk up to the security guard with my best friend, Bex, by my side, and we show him our VIP and Meet and Greet bracelets.
He slowly moves away, letting Bex and I through. We're one of the first people in line, and I have a clear view of where HE will be standing in just under 20 minutes.
"Han, you excited?" Bex asks me.
Excited was an understatement. Although Bex is here with me today, she does not understand my love for these guys.
"B, why are you asking that question? You know the answer, I'm BEYOND excited. I'm meeting HIM today! Today will be the day he falls for me." I joke.
Bex laughs and says sarcastically, "Yeah, he'll so fall for you."
"Hey! I took a quiz once, and it said, 'The moment you meet him, he'll instantly fall for you.'"
"But the internet lies..." She points out with a slight laugh.
I hope she knows though, I'm not joking. I'm 100% serious.
"Oh stop it." I say, turning back to the closed off area where the band will be taking pictures and signing autographs in just a few short minutes. I see a person slowly creep out of the dressing room and he looks just like HIM.
I stare for a second and there is no doubt in my my mind, it is HIM, only he's in disguise. I would know that face anywhere.
He glances right at me and our eyes meet. I refuse to look away, but I also don't want to blow his cover. He's obviously in disguise for a reason.
After an intense stare down, I hear someone call out "HEY!" And he takes one last glance at me, and dashes back into the room.

"Okay, we'll take the first group up here now!" Jason, their manager, yells out. To be clear, Bex and I are group two.
As the first group goes up, HE looks right at me. He honestly looks nervous. I understand that he has a huge show to put on after this, but he's...HIM! He doesn't get nervous!
He prays, he goes out on stage wearing extremely skinny, skinny jeans, which by the way, are a great feature on him, and then he plays a fantastic show. HE doesn't get nervous, and frankly, he doesn't need to. He's amazing.
He holds the stare for another second, until he realizes that another girl is talking to him. He shakes his head, and actually starts listening to what the girl is saying. He takes the album cover out of her hand, signs it, and hands it off to the other members of the band.

After a picture or two, the girls say a quick 'thank you' and run off toward their seats.
Suddenly it's my turn, and I instantly start panicking inside. I slowly walk up to him, with Bex following me, and manage to say a nervous, "Hi Ryan."
"Hey, what's your name?" He asks.
"It's Hanna." I smile.
"Well, then, Hanna, it's great to meet you." He smiles back.
"You too!"
"Would you like us to sign anything for you?" Nash asks.
"Could you sign my shirt? Or my album cover?" I ask.
"Why not both!" Ryan butts in. Fine by me!
"Thank you." I beam, as Ryan signs my back. Haha, that sounds sort of weird...but WHATEVER! Beautiful Freaks will get it.
After they sign my shirt, I go to hand Ryan the little album booklet, but he carefully declines, having me give it to Jamie first.
"What about your friend, does she want us to sign anything?" Ryan asks.
"Hey, B, do you want them to sign your shirt?" I ask. She politely declines, saying she'd just like a picture. Is she crazy?! Any "Beautiful Freak" or "Firestarter" would love an autograph also!
"No thanks." I answer for Bex.
When they finish signing my cover, I let Bex get into a picture with them. They all smile an irresistible smile, (the band I'm talking) and then say it's my turn for a picture.
We take one picture where we're all smiling, and then one funny one. RK also asks me if I want an individual picture with all of them, and I gladly say yes! (Even though the rules of the meet and greet clearly say we're not supposed to do that!)
I pose for a picture with each of them, and then hug them, (and also get a picture of that group hug!) and I say thank you! And also adding in there, a 'follow me on twitter please!' this statement is mostly as a joke, but on the inside dead serious. Who wouldn't be?
As Bex and I are exiting the dressing room, I feel a vibrate in my pocket, and look to Ryan, who is wearing a huge smile on his face. The vibrate was informing me that Ryan was now following me on twitter. Oh, thank you, Ryan.
***
When we get to our seats, they are in the front row...in the very center. I was not informed of this!!
"B, did you buy these tickets..?" I ask.
"Yesss I did." She says simply.
"So you knew we had front row, and didn't tell me?!" I shriek.

"If I told you, then it wouldn't have been a secret, now would it?"
"No."
"So no, I didn't tell you!"
"Oh thank you!!" I say, hugging her tightly.
"It's what best friends are for, right?" She smiles.
"Right." I say and fix my hair so it's looking perfect. I have the bottom of my blonde hair dyed pink and I had to make sure it looks perfect for Ryan. Right as I finish, he comes running out onto the stage, along with Jamie, Nash, and Ian behind him.
I turn to Bex and squeal loudly and Ryan starts laughing at me as he sings the begging to Beautiful Freaks.
The next song they sing is Downtown Girl, my personal favorite.
"I smell her sweet, perfume! Makin' rounds around the room 'cuz she's a downtown girl! A downtown, downtown girl, girl!"
The song after that is Tonight Tonight, and then Honestly. After Honestly is Whatever! After Whatever are Let Down, Radio, and Heart Hurts.
Then Ryan and Nash do an acoustic version of Alright and then sing Emo. After Emo, Nash leaves the stage, and Ryan sings the first verse to Bleed alone and then all the guys come back out to sing the rest of it. (It seriously seems like Ryan is singing directly to me during the song! But you know, as a huge fangirl I am, I could be making this up!) After Bleed, they sing ILILT- also known as I Like It Like That.
When he gets to part where New Boyz are supposed to rap, he says, "Well, you know, I really don't need someone who can sing. I need someone who can rap!!!" And a bunch of people scream, myself included!
Then he says, "But I need someone who can rap this part..." And I scream even louder. I memorized every piece of this rap the second the song was released.
Ryan starts scanning the crowd for someone to rap with, and his eyes land on me. "How about you?" He asks and I smile largely as the guards take me toward the stairs to the stage.
"So, H-," He stops himself. "What's your name?" He smiles knowingly and puts the mic up to my mouth.
"Hanna." I smile back at him and melt into his eyes.
"So, let's continue where we left off, Hanna."
"Oh the homie brought the booze / I like it like that cause the girls playin' beer pong in the back / We havin' fun partying til the break of dawn / Go grab a cup I dunno what people waitin' on / And I'm gonna want a girl that I know I can take home / In the zone, where I think I had lost my phone / You can tell by looking in the party's straight crack / And don't worry 'bout it girls cause I like it like / I'm max faded at my grandma's house / And leave your clothes over there, that's grandma couch / I be filmin' her friends too, yeah I'm back on that / Double D chicks huggin', I got racks on racks / Like, I don't want the luxuries of a superstar / I'm just tryin' to chill with Miley at the hookah bar / You like cartoons? I'll make your heart melt / With the seat back, playin in the back, like"
And then we finish out the song. Good times, man!!
"That was awesome, Hanna!" Ryan says, and hands me glasses, HIS GLASSES, and a small "gift" bag.
"Thank you!" I say and grin.
"Hope you all had fun! We've got a few more songs left for ya! Thanks again, Hanna!" RK yells and smiles as I go back to my seat with a goofy grin on my face.
The next songs they sing are Forever Unstoppable and Keep You with me, and I swear, during all of these songs, Ryan is looking and singing right to me.
Lastly, they sing Tonight Tonight and when the song is finished, Ryan says 'good night' and 'thank you' to the crowd again and walks off the stage, with one last glance at me.
Interrupting my fangirling, Bex asks, "Are you ready to go? Your mom's probably outside. She said she'd here at 10:15."
"Yeah, yeah, let's go." I say, almost hyperventilating. This concert was amazing!
When we get outside, and my mom's not here yet, I turn to B and tell her everything I liked about the concert. WHICH WAS EVERYTHING! I got to rap and meet and greet and oh jeez. It's just to emotional to think about.
"Oh my gosh, Han, I was totally wrong, Ry was totally into you." She says.
I try my hardest not to lose my cool, "Hah, you think?"
"YEAH!" She says, and I smile, A LOT, and that's when my mom gets here, and we tell her all about the concert on the ride home.
Today WAS perfect and so was he!

In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth--from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds to all the trucks and cars--collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The fruits of millenia of human progress, atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe. Presented with impossible situations, dire straits, an empty promise of regaining their planet or the fame of intergalactical stardom, thirteen million of the remaining humans entered this dungeon.
