Part 1 - Moving day

It was 9 am an a Saturday aka moving day and you had all your stuff packed and in the moving van. You was dreading going to your new school but there was nothing you could do about it. Your mum said that one of your neighbours was the same age as you but you would really rather not talk to anyone. Your guitar was in the car with you because you was scared it would break in the moving van so you just kept it with you. It was a 2 hour drive so you put something comfy on.
Your outfit:

You can wear whatever you want but this is just what I imagine :)

"Y/n hurry up we have to leave in a minute!"your mum shouts from downstairs
"I'm coming, I'm coming. Just give me a second"
You shout back
You grab your guitar and run down stairs followed by Arlo (your dog). You go outside to see your mum already in the car waiting for you (the house is obviously locked up). Arlo jumped in the back seat followed by you, you sat in the back so you could stay with Arlo.
"You know Y/n it might help to actually try and make friends here"
"I have a friend mum"
"Josh isn't gonna be there plus he has his own life now you need to find people your age"
"I have Arlo too"
"You know what I meant Y/n" your mum replied with a Sigh.
You put your AirPods in and listened to your favourite music while stroking Arlo. The rest of the car ride was quite since you and Arlo had both fallen asleep since you was still tired.

"We're almost there Y/n, wake up"
You groaned and looked out your window to see a quiet neighbourhood filled with quite big modernised houses. Once you got there you opened the car door and looked at your surroundings it wasn't your style but you could always decorate your room how you wanted. You grabbed your guitar and got out of the car looking for your mum and Arlo who seemed to be talking to a women with Ginger hair and freckles . You walked towards them and the lady introduced herself.
"Hello, I'm Nikki Holland it's lovely to meet you"
(You didn't recognise the name Holland)
"Hi, I'm Erin Y/l/n, this is my daughter Y/n and her dog Arlo" replied your mum kindly.
"H-hi it's nice to meet you " you answered.
Arlo jumped up at Nikki trying to play with her.
"Arlo down! Leave her alone, I am so sorry!" You said
"It's ok, I have a dog too her names Tessa, I bet her and Arlo would be great friends" she replied laughing while stroking Arlo.
"Right, it was lovely meeting you but we should go and unpack" your mum said
"Of course, you should come around for lunch soon, maybe tomorrow?"
"We would love to" replied your mum while walking towards the house. You got Arlo and said bye to Nikki then walked into the house.

Paddy's POV:
I woke up, got dressed and came downstairs to see my dad and brothers all sitting at the table.
"Where's mum?" I asked realising that she wasn't there.
"Talking to the new neighbours I think" replied dad.
"How come your not out there then?" Tom asked
"Because unlike your mother I don't won't to bother them, plus your mum said she will invite them around to have lunch tomorrow" just as dad said that mum walked in with a smile on her face.
"How were the new neighbours?" Dad asked
"Are they old?" Sam said
"Do they have kids?" Harry asked while I was just sat there minding my own business not really caring because I was guessing they were old and not any fun.
"Actually they is a very kind lady the same age as me called Erin and she has a daughter the same age as Paddy called Y/n."
Everything in the room looked at me when Dad,Tom, Harry and sam said
"OoOoOo" I could feel my face turn pink but tried to hide it because I knew what my brothers were going to say.
"Is Paddy gonna get a new girlfriend?!?" Harry asked in a high pitched voice. I rolled me eyes.
"No, don't be stupid, I don't even know her"
It was all fine until my mum said
"Are you sure Paddy I think you'll like her she is very sweet and pretty, I also saw her holding a guitar, I think she is just your type".
"Well we can see tomorrow if I approve of this girl to be my future daughter in law" dad said jokingly while everyone else laughed. Once I had finished my breakfast I went upstairs so I could ignore everyone talking about the neighbours.
As soon as I went upstairs I couldn't help but to think what the neighbour would look like. Is she pretty? Is she kind? Does she play guitar? But then I realised that she would probably only ever like because of how famous Tom is. I decided to just do my homework to get my mind off of a girl that I have never even met.

Y/n POV:
Once I went inside the house I looked around and picked out my bedroom. I didn't want it to be to big because I wanted it to be more cosy, so I picked out my favourite room then started unpacking everything while watching (your favourite TV show). Arlo was sitting on my bed watching me while I decorated my room. After about 2 hours of decorating my room, I had finally finished
Your room:

Or this:

Or you can chose however you want it to look like :)

After I had finished my mum called me downstairs.
"Y/n tomorrow I want you do try and get along with the neighbours son he is the same age as you and you are going to the same school as him, so please make this easier on my and TRY and make some friends, it's what dad would have wanted."

"Mum that's not fair we promised not to talk about dad!, I will try to make friends, but for dad not you"
After I said that I ran upstairs trying to forget what my mum had said. Whenever me and mum would get in an argument my dad would always stay with me and sing to me till I felt better. To try and take my mind of my mum I decided to sing the song my dad always used to sing to if a had a nightmare.'You Are My Sunshine'.

Mums POV:
I felt bad for what I had said to y/n but I meant it. I knew y/n always preferred her dad but that was because he was to soft with her, whereas I have always been busy. I don't regret spending time on my work because work will always come first even before y/n and she knows it.
I heard y/n singing the song her dad would always used to sing to her, and always used to sing to me when we had first met but that was when we was one big happy family. I knew y/n wouldn't want to talk about her feelings because that's what she does, ever since she was little she would never tell anyone how she felt other than her dad, so I never got to know my own daughter very well.
(Btw you have already had dinner, sorry I didn't write it)
After what had happened I decided to go to bed.

Y/n POV:
I read for a little while while cuddling with Arlo trying to take my mind of dad.
"I miss you dad" I mumbled while putting (your favourite book) away.
Arlo normally slept with me, but I didn't mind I liked the comfort.
So I cuddled up with Arlo and eventually fell asleep at around 1 am.
Late I know but too many things were going through my mind, what mum said, dad singing to me, josh the only person I had felt fine talking to but now we can only talk to through text and even then mum was right he was older and had his own life, he wouldn't have time to speak to me anymore, and if the boy your mum had so desperately wanted you to be friends with, was he nice?, will it be awkward?, does he like art or music?
Eventually these thoughts went away and I fell asleep.
