Aurora
I stood outside the flat that I once called home. I hadn't been here in about a month and I had this warm feeling inside me from just standing outside. I'd never realised how boring my hometown and my hometown friends were until I experienced uni, I never realised how much I craved uni until I came here, I never realised anything until I came here. Meaning, the last month has been hell- I've been bored, grown sick of my 'friends' and felt rather rebellious.

I slowly unlocked the door with my key (that I had not returned) and opened the door, quietly.

"GRADUATION DAYYYYYYY" Niall's voice boomed through the flat "I'm done with fucking school!"

"Time to start work!" Louis mocked Niall's cheering.

"Don't kill my vibes!" They were in Niall's room by the sound of it, I wheeled my suitcase towards his room and on my way past I looked into the kitchen. It was covered in filth, packets of food, beer cans- you name it, it was on that floor.

I knocked on Niall's already opened door and both Louis and Niall's heads shot up to look at me.

"Aurora!" They both shouted before engulfing me in a group hug.

"How are you guys?" I asked sitting on Niall's bed, which surprisingly, was clean and made.

"We are good" Louis answered sitting next to me.

"Good? Tommo we are graduating today. After today we will be done with school. We'll be travelling the world and all you're feeling is good?"

"Yeah but after today we'll be living back with our folks" he turned to me "and there's nothing worse than living with your folks"

"Tell me about it. One month with my parents and I'm practically throwing myself out a window"

"Plus it gets harder every year" Louis complained, I'd grown closer to Harry's friends since December and surprisingly I had a lot in common with these boys, more than I probably should.

"Last year wasn't so bad but this year... They kind of dragged me out of the flat"

"I thought you got on with ya rents?" Niall said sitting against his headboard and resting his feet on Louis' shoulders.

"I get on with my mom... My dad not so much"

"I feel like it's hard for girls to connect with their dads once they get older coz they can't help out with periods and all that" Niall said, Louis and I turned to give him a 'done' look.

"I hate to admit it, but he kind of does have a point" Louis said.

"We've never really gotten along, not that I can remember anyway"

"Me and my dad were never close either, guess it's because him and my mom divorced when I was little so we never saw each other much- every other weekend I guess"

"That's where I'm lucky" Niall removed his feet from Louis' shoulders "I get on with both of um"

"You get on with everyone Niall" Louis and I said at the same time.

"I'm just one of those people"

We spoke for some time until Niall realised their graduation ceremony was in one hour.

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck" Louis murmured standing up and looking around the room "we're gonna be late, mothers gonna kill me"

"Have you guys showered and everything?" I asked standing up
