The AM {N.H}

Chapter one

Love [luhv];

1. A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.

2. A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.

3. Sexual passion or desire.

For you number two was what was missing while growing up however number three was what we knew about love and nothing else.

Present day

Sophia has asked me about fifty times if this is what I really want to do all summer. And although I have already told her yes, she keeps asking me.

"Are you sure you want to come?" she asked, zipping up my own suitcase.

"Yes, I've said a million times that I do. In fact, I need this for my portofolio, it's a great opportunity."

I need to get into the Universisty of the Arts London, it has always been a dream I've had. I love taking pictures of everyone and everything, so this will be a great opportunity and I can't blow off this opportunity with anything.

"By the way I am warning you that all the guys are cool and nice, so..."

I shrug "I don't want anyone I'm fine being by myself Sophia."

"Anyways, please do not forget your camera!"

"Sophia! How would I forget my camera if the purpose of going with you is to take pictures of everything?" We laugh at the same time.

Oh, the laughs we had in this bedroom, sitting on my bed just laughing until our ribs hurt, we didn't use to think about the future back then, but the future came anyway, and now we are on our knees, in the same position we were in a few months ago, except this time we are packing to start a new path of life, I would say.

We almost forgot to laugh because now, we wonder what our future is going to be like, and that shit's scary. At least I have her. I always had her.

"Hey girls!" I hear my moms voice while she's opening door.

"Hello Mrs. Brooks."

"You ready Harper?"

"Yes. Sophia and I were just packing the last few things. Will you take us to the airport tomorrow?"

"That's a silly question! Of course I am taking you, would you think I would let you go like that?!"

She says and Sophia's phone rings, so she excuses herself out of my bedroom.

"Here. I want you to have this!" She opens her hand and shows me the necklace. Wow. That necklace, my dad gave it to her on her birthday. It was such sentimental present there's no way i can wear this around.

"Mom! No, I can't accept this, this is something so special for you, I can't have it! What if I last?" I mean, even if I accepeted I would be the more careful person on earth and I wouldn't lose, but I cant't accepet something so heart-felt to her.

"Harper you won't lose, I trust you." She says while she's lifting my brown hair to put the necklace on me.

Uh, I hate this word, "trust", I hate when people say they trust me when I don't even trust myself, my whole life I have been trying to trust myself so how can someone trust myself so quickly? I know she's my mom but it's hard for me to understand how trusting someone works, I guess.

"Ok then thank you." I say.

"Heyy..." says Sophia as she makes her away back from the hallway.

"Were you on the phone with who? If that's not asking too much."

"I guess this is my time to go downstairs to start making diner." Says my mom. "You two don't forget that we have to leave early tomorrow morning.", she says opening my bedroom door.

"Soo," I tried to get an answer out of Sophia. "Was it him?"

"Who?" she asked nonchalant.

"Oh come on do you think I'm stupid?"

"Nope. Not at all Harper."

"Look, if he wasn't falling for you, he wouldn't have asked if you wanted to go touring with them Sophia... and then asking I eventually wouldn't want to go." I say, and to be honest, the guy is definitly falling for her and she doesn't even notice, it's kind of fun being an observer of two people falling in love.

"I don't know... I'll talk to him tomorrow, and even if he was in fact falling for me we weren't doing the distance thing, so he still better be falling for me tomorrow."

I laugh looking at the mirror "Girl of course he is, and I just want to let you know you make such a powerful couple, I can already imagine you two, and all the paparazzis photographing you! No, wait, ME photographing you two. That would be so fun! Please do me and yourself a favor and that him."

"Woah! Slow down Harper, by the way don't talk just about me.. there is another two boys that are single, and you only have two choose... the blonde one or the brunette one." she says this last part whispering in my ear, what the fuck was that, I like blondes actually.

"Blonde seems interesting, I just can't fall for him." I smile turning away.

"Yeah, I know. You always said that! Just wait for tomorrow." She smirks.

Wait. What?

"What does that mean?"

"What you mean? We're going to meet them tomorrow, there isn't always secrets behind everything."

I give her a confused and distrustful look. "Look, let's just eat something so we can go to sleep for the big day tomorrow." Sophia says while holding my hand and dragging me to the kitchen.

What does she mean by "just wait for tomorrow"? What's going to happen? Am not going to like the people I am going to live with for next 3 months? Are they mean? Why did she say this now I am going to be overhtinking.
