Prologue.

Buzz....Buzz...

My phone goes off. I look at my blackberry screen to see a BBM message. I open BBM and see its from Harry.

- Hey Mel, today's my last day before I go audition for the X-Factor, you want to hang out today?

-Yeah sure! When and where?

I push enter and then shove my phone into the back pocket of my denim shorts. I head to my mirror stand and look at my reflection. Perfectly tanned skin, blue/green eyes depending on the day, ice blonde hair, small pink lips, medium bust, slender but curvy body, and a nice bum to top it off. (A/N: I'm sorry it was my friends idea!!)

I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket so I take it out to see Harry's reply.

- Now! I'm outside right now. :)

I walk over to my window to see him outside. He waves to me with his cheeky smile and I wave back. Then I put on my white TOMS and go downstairs to the front door. I walk out and I'm immediately greeted by a I'm-running-over-to-hug-you hug. After the few seconds of shock I hug back.

"You ready to go?" Harry asks

"Ready when you are!" I reply with a smile.

"I am ready so let's go!!" he cries excitingly and runs down the street. I run after him, and not long until I catch up to where he stopped. He stopped at the local park that's just a few minute walk from my house.

"Last one to the swing has to push the winner!!" he shouts and starts running again.

I start running but then I trick him.

"HARRY THERE'S A CAT STUCK IN THE TREE!!!" I shout.

He immediately stops dead in his tracks and looks around at all the trees. Trick is, there are none.

"Wait a sec- there are no trees!!" he says. Then turns around and sees me sitting on the swing gracefully smiling.

"That's no fair you cheated!" he pouts

"No, I simply said there was a cat stuck in the tree. YOU'RE the one who fell for it!" I smirk. "Now you have to push me." I sing song.

Harry huffs and walks behind me, brings back the swing and starts to push me on the swing.

"So, are you going to miss me while I'm gone?" he asks.

"Yeah, I am. Summer won't be the same without you." I reply, now staring straight ahead.

"Maybe I can sleep over at your house tonight. Make the best of it in my opinion."

"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. So what time do you have to leave then?"

"About 6:30 in the morning." he says.

"That's really early..." I say with a slight crack in my voice. My eyes start tearing up a bit. I don't want him to go, but I don't want to hold him back from his dreams either.

I suddenly realize he stopped pushing me and is kneeling down in front of me.

"Why are you crying Mel?" he asks as he takes hold of one of my hands and massages it with his thumb.

"I just don't want you to go, but I want you to follow your dreams." I say as a tear rolls down my cheek.

"Don't worry, I'll keep in contact with you. I'll BBM you every night. Okay, I promise." he reassures me as he wipes the tear away with his other hand.

"Okay." I say. "Can we go home now, I'm hungry."

"Aren't you always?" he says jokingly and he helps me up from the swing and we start walking home.

We get home, eat some grilled cheese, watched a movie, then we went to bed.

5:00 am.

I'm half asleep but I hear movement, then I hear the shower which means Harry is up getting ready. I want to get up but I don't, but I do anyways. I put on my fuzzy blue slippers and walk downstairs and start to make Harry breakfast. Chocolate chip pancakes, his favorite breakfast food. (A/N: I don't know if it really is or not. Anyways I'm going to stop doing this in the middle of the story.)

Just as I put them on a plate I hear him come down the stairs and he sees me and is shocked.

"What are you doing up?" he asks.

"I wanted to see you when you leave, but aside from that, I made you breakfast." I say while placing the plate on the counter.

"Oooh pancakes!!!" he squeals like a little kid, so cute when he does it. He takes the plate, grabs a fork from the drawer, then sits at the table and starts eating.

"You want orange juice or milk?" I ask as I go in the fridge.

"Orange juice please, milk makes phlegm and I don't want that to ruin my audition." he explains.

"Okay, and ew." I say with a grossed out face as I pour two glasses of juice, one for him and one for me. I bring them to the table and give Harry's his.

"Tangk oo." he says through a mouthful of pancakes which just makes me laugh.

Harry finishes his pancakes and heads upstairs to finish getting ready. I look at the time and it's 6:15. I start to get butterflies in my stomach. This really is it. My best friend is going off to a competition for the whole summer. It just won't be the same without him.

I finally decide to get up and go upstairs to my room and get dressed. Simply just a white Hollister t-shirt, sweat pants and black TOMS. After I finish I head downstairs again to find Harry taking his stuff out to the car. I help him out and then we both get in the car. The drive to the airport was quiet. Then when we got to the airport we brought his luggage in and we waited. Then at 7:30 Harry'a flight was called and that was when we had to say our official goodbyes.

"I'm really going to miss you Haz.." I say as I start to cry.

"I'm going to miss you too Mel, but I got something for you to keep for the summer." he says with a smile.

"What is it?" I ask.

He goes into his pocket and takes out his car keys and holds them I front of me.

My eyes widen. "Your Chevorlette?" I ask.

"Mhmm! Yours for the summer. Treat her nicely though okay?" he tells me.

"Don't worry I will I promise.!!" I say as I take the keys.

"Well I should get going or I'll miss my flight. Bye Mel!" he says as he hugs me one last time. I hug back and then he takes off deep into the crowd.

And from that day, everything turned for the worse.

A/N: Okay so how did you like the prologue? I don't like it. If you do that's great!
