Nobody's Home

Chapter 1

-Present Day-

"Scar get your ass up now!" Mia yelled in my ear.

"Go away," I mumbled from under my blanket.

"That's it, you're asking for it."

I felt her pulling my arm out and then grabbed my legs dragging me to the floor. I fell with a thud and Mia smirked. "You're so sweet Mia. Wow. What a charmer."

"I know I'm the nicest, now get moving."

She left the room leaving me to get dressed, I sighed and stood up. The morning routine began. Wash my face, brush my teeth, get dressed...etc. Sitting on my bed relaxing for a bit before we'd leave I remembered when I first came here I wouldn't talk to anyone. I slowly relaxed though, being more social. I still didn't like anyone touching me and I always had the scar given to me by Stokes covered up. He was drunk one night and dragged his knife across my hip. It left a 5 inch scar on me.

Zoe's soft knocks interrupted my little flashback.

"Scar you dressed?"

"Yeah come in Zoe."

She entered the room saying, "I just wanted to see if you're ready, cuz we're ready to go."

I nodded grabbing my bag leaving the room with Zoe trailing behind me.

Mia, Zoe, and I all worked together in a clothes store. The way this town worked was that of any small town. It wasn't on the map though and there isn't a load of people in it. It's mostly for people who need an escape then a few random tourists who every so often stumbles upon it. There are a few shops and one small diner/bowling alley. That's it, but the people here want that. They want a small secure place. Something safe. It's funny because Mia isn't the type of person you'd think would be in a place like this. She's like the wild one, the party girl-tough and edgy. She has this aura of mysteriousness. Zoe's like the epitome of the shy naive girl. She ran away from home and doesn't want her parents finding her. She's only 17 and Mia is 19. I'm in the middle at 18.

As I was thinking of how different we all were Mia spoke, "We all ready to go?"

Zoe and I nodded. Mia grabbed her bag and we all headed out. The shop was about a 10 minutes walk and it was gorgeous outside. We made it to there soon enough and entered. Our boss Vivian was sitting behind the counter reading some tabloid. "Hey guys did you know that Justin Bieber and this model Cara Delevingne disappeared together and no one knows where to!"

Mia rolled her eyes while Zoe went over to look. "Wait," Vivian continued "It says his manager knows, but he won't tell anyone. Apparently it was becoming too much for both of them and they needed an escape. Whatever, let's get to work girls, too much gossip for one day." She chuckled to herself and put the magazine away ending that conversation.

We all started preparing to open the shop. I never knew why 3 girls were needed to work here, but I wasn't complaining. Zoe had went off with Vivian somewhere in the back. Mia had put earphones in and was busy doing something she called dancing. I was stuck at the counter waiting for customers to come. Suddenly realizing I had forgotten to flip the sign to open, I went to do that. I also put the radio on before sitting back down. And this is how it was everyday. Vivian and Zoe goes off to the back, Mia does I don't know what and I sit behind the counter taking care of the few customers that would come.

"Mia." No answer. "MIA!"

She pulled out her earbuds, "You called me?"

"Yeah watch the counter. I'm going to get food."

"Mmkay."

I left the store in search of food. The small diner was a few doors down so that's where I went. As I walked through the door I saw a guy and a girl taking their seats with trays of food in their hands. The guy looked awfully familiar and pretty cute. It was really annoying that I couldn't put a name on it. I sat down on a high stool by the counter.

"Hey Scar! The usual?" Angie asked. She was the only worker at the diner, other than her granddad who works in the back. They don't need more than that because of the population of this town.

"Yes please!" I answered. I waited patiently for my food and glanced at the guy one more time to see if it'll help me figure out his name. OHMYGOD. It's Justin Bieber! Zoe will FUREAK. What's he doing here? How'd he find this place? Doesn't Cara live in England? Plus, what does she want to get away from? Justin, I unnderstand, but her? Okay Scarlett, chill.

"Here you go Scarlett." Angie smiled giving me my food.

"Oh, thanks." I squeaked.

"No prob. do you wanna pay now?" She offered.

I answered with a no thanks and stuffed my face. I looked for napkins to wipe my hands, but there were none near me so I hopped off my stool and someone bumped into me causing their water to spill all over my body. I tried not to look annoyed, but it was a really nice outfit.

"I am so sorry."

I looked up to see Justin Bieber with a a handful of napkins already.

"Oh it's fine." I lied.

"Cara!" He shouted.

"Yes?" She answered making her way to us.

"Do you have any clothes to give-wait what's your name?" He pointed at me.

"Uh Scarlett, what no! It's okay, I live a few minutes away." I said.

"Oh really? Do you mind if we crash by you for a bit? Justin kinda forgot to get us a cabin." Cara asked.

Do I just let two strangers sleepover me? Just because they're famous doesn't mean anything. They're still complete strangers, but I feel bad, there's not really any hotels and the one motel we have is really creepy.

"Yeah sure, you guys have a car?"

"Yup!" Cara answered popping the "P".

"Alright so I'll drive you guys there, if you don't mind, but then I gotta get back to work." I said.

"Where do you work?" Cara questioned.

"Car! Shut up already, you're being so nosy!" Justin annoyingly said.

"It's fine. Really. I work at a clothing store down the block." I answered.

"Oh, that's cute! Oh and Justin you let me come here with you because you love me and my reason for being here is as good as your so do me a favor? Don't tell me to shut up." Cara pointed out.

Justin looked at her with sympathy and hugged her tightly apologizing and lead us outside. I guess that was a touchy subject for her if he apologized instead of laughing it off. Well this should be fun.

A few minutes later Justin and Cara were already in bathing suits and playing around the house before they go to the beach (which is outside in the back of the house) after I leave.

"Okay guys, my number is on the fridge! Give me a call if you need me!" I shouted.

"K! Thanks a ton!" Cara shouted back while laughing.

I left my house praying I'd come back without a huge mess to clean.
