Chapter 1
--Melanie's POV--
It's been almost two years, and I haven't talked much to Niall. He kept his promise and called when he got to London, but he was so busy doing X-Factor. He didn't make it through to Judges Houses but got put together with four other boys. Now they're known worldwide as One Direction. I couldn't believe it.. My Niall was Niall Horan from One Direction. My Niall... Could I still call him that?
Last time I talked with him was 5 months ago over Skype. The call lasted around 2 minutes and then he had to go to rehearsels...
In the meantime I had moved back to London. I missed it and decided I would move there, since my mum decided to move to Barcelona anyway. My dad had passed away 4 months ago, so getting out on my own and not living with my mum, who was almost constantly crying and wanting to be alone, was just what I needed! I was turning 18 this summer, so I technically did not have a legal guardian.
Also, George cheated on me three weeks after Niall left. But I didn't want to tell him.. He would just be sad for me and have a bad performance or give it all up and come back to support me. I would not let that happen. Oh well. Here I am in my little flat in the middle of London.
I woke up around 10 and decided to put on a loose grey shirt with a Stars and Stripes print on with medium sleeves, some dark blue shorts, Converse All Star also with Stars and Stripes print, a bracelet with a lot of stars and a dark read beanie on. I picked up my phone, went to my small kitchen and made some toast.
"Noooo wooork todaaaay!!" I sang for myself with toast in my mouth. I worked in Forever 21, my favorite store. I got a employee discount!
When I was done with my small breakfast I took a walk in the streets of London. It was a lovely summer. Not too hot, not too cold, just perfect! I was looking down at my phone while walking, Twitter! I was so used to look down on my phone while walking. It was always the others who avoided walking into me, but this time it felt like I hit a brick wall or something!
I fell on my bum and began cursing under my breath. I could feel that my phone wasn't in my hand anymore, so I panicked, looking around everywhere.
"Are you okay?" I heard a guy with an Irish accent say and looked up to see a hand almost in my face. I took it and stood up only to look around on the ground to find my phone.
"Thanks.." I didn't really look at him, I just needed my phone. "Where is it..." I mumbled to myself.
"Are you looking for this?" I hear the same Irish accent say, then I look up at him and see my phone in his hands.
"Thank you!" I practically scream with a smile from ear to ear, earning glares from the people around us. Then I look up at him and my smile slowly fades.
"Melanie?" His blue eyes looks into mine as I begin to smile again, realising it was my best friend. His hair had gotten more blonde, he probably just bleached it. He had become taller, though I was still a tad taller than him, making me smile even more.
"Niall!!" I say jumping into his arms. He was unprepared, but he was still standing. Gotting stronger too, I see..

"Mel I can't believe it's you! What are you doing in London?" He looks at me over the table. We went to a little cafe just around the corner and were now talking over two smothies.
"I moved here 3 months ago. My mum moved to Barcalona, you know she always wanted to go there.." I explained looking at him. He had changed a lot, but then again, not that much. He had grown. Puperty had been really good to him!
"What about your dad?"
My smile faded a bit. I had been very close to my dad, so the mention of him made me feel a bit ill. Niall could tell, so he asked what was wrong.
"H-he passed a-away.. 4 months ago.. That's.. That's kinda one of the reasons why I couldn't, why I couldn't live with my mum anymore.." I looked down at the table, not really knowing what to say, since he did not react right away. Then I felt a couple of strong arms embrace me in a warm hug and I hugged back, a few tears streaming down my cheeks.
Niall pulled a bit away, putting his hands on my face and catching the next tears with his thumbs. "You don't have to talk about it, love.." I shook my head. I wanted to talk about it. I needed to talk about it.
