4 boys and me

chapter 1

" Nobody can drag me down" I sang at the top of my lungs trying to annoy molly as she hates OneDirection.

jesus. OneDirection are the saviours of my life.

" I swear to god. Tonia, if you don't shut that hole in your face  I will shut this selfie stick right up you..."   I cut molly off by singing 'That's what makes you beautiful'.

Molly is the best person in my life right now. she's the kind of girl who doesn't really care about herself and will put anyone else before her. she's so kind and generous and you should never get on her bad side, she will kill you.

I lough to myself thinking about all the memeries when we first me. Molly and I met over the internet as I know she went out with a close friend of mine. we met in England as she offered to fly out there. I sometimes think 'what if I never spoke to molly on the internet that day, I could be in an orphanage right now'.

" hey hunnie, you do realise it's your birthday tomorrow right?" she reminded me.

of course I know it was my birthday tomorrow, i'm not thick but I just hate getting presents of people knowing that they spent there money on me. why in god's name would anyone want to spend their money on me. look at me. brown shoulder length hair with a stupid fringe that takes the piss to straighten on a morning. I am  skinny, not in a bad way but I always get people saying 'your way too skinny' 'eat some food'. it annoys me when people get on at me for it but I really cant help being skinny.

"yeah hunnie I know, I just don't want people spending money on me" I sighed.

"if I let you in on a secret will you promise not to say anything and be happy" she begged.

"molly... come on, you know I wouldn't..." I began.

" ok,ok. well, ya know how my mum is getting an extension on the house and wont let us in-..." I nodded my head to signal that I understood. "well it's because mum has done it so you can have your own room and.... it's full of everything OneDirection, not one more thing OneDirection could fit it that room" she laughed to herself.

I actually didn't know what to say. Lyndsey did this for me. I was speechless, although quite excited to see my OneDirection filled room. it was pretty late and it was my birthday tomorrow so I decided to go take a shower then head off to bed.     

*4 and a half hours later *

it's currently, 3:30am and I had been tossing and turning through the night and hadn't had a wink. I decided to go downstairs so I wouldn't wake molly up. I grabbed my phone and hp laptop as well as there chargers and made my way downstairs.  it took me a couple of minutes to get to the ground floor as the house was 3 stories high but it didn't phase me at all. I love this house and have done for the last 9 or so months. it's hard obviously but I love the family I have helping me here and I wouldn't change them for the world. There's just one thing missing, my favourite boys on the whole planet who saved me as well as my family.

I got to the bottom of the stairs and headed towards the large kitchen, placing my gadgets on the medium sized dinner table. I made my way towards the kettle and poured myself a cup of tea making sure I only put 1 sweetener in and a lot of milk. once I had finished making my very warm cup of tea I sat down at the table and turned my laptop on. softly, gliding my fingers across the keyboard typing my password in to reveal my desktop.

I thought it would be a good opportunity to check my YouTube and twitter account. I recently started a YouTube account under a fake name so then if people didn't like the sound of my voice I wouldn't be embarrassed. yes, the account was of me singing but I would never show my face in any of the video's. I logged on to my YouTube account looking at how many subscribers I had! suddenly I felt myself become wide eyed at the amount of subscribers had enlarged a LOT! I went from 2,000 subscribers to 2.5 million! I looked at the comments on my recent video. I only uploaded this one nearly less than 2 days ago and already had 15thousand views and a comment from the one and only......... SIMON COWELL!!

I thought I couldn't breathe so I took a sip off my now cool tea. I spat it bag out as it was really cold and wasn't nice enough to drink. I had to take a double take at the fact simon cowell comment on my video. it read;

- simon, what a beautiful voice you have ey? check your email! ;) xxx

what the hell!

check my email. so there I was scrabbling my fingers across the key bored to my email box and sure enough there was an email from simon cowell.

dear Remington,

                                    I've seen your videos on YouTube and I've noticed that you have a potential talent at having a singing career. I realise that you may live in America and I also know about your family issues. I know everything there is to know about you except the one question. Do you want to have a record deal? if you would like to come speak with me in my office I can arrange a meeting with you tomorrow. I know it's your birthday and all but it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. my phone number is here. don't hesitate to ring me. no matter what time it is and i'll make a phone call and get you on the next plane to London.

P.S I hope you call. xxx

I heard shuffling behind me. Lyndsey? "hey, what you doi- ..." she cut me off.

"make the call" she said with a huge smile on her face shoving a phone towards me. i was so shocked that she even know. she probably was behind me the whole time.

"wh- what?" i asked. not believing what she was telling me to do.

" Rem, i know that this is your dream and you just had an email off the most biggest record deal label in the world. make the call girl. by the way, -" she turned to me "happy 20th birthday" she whispered before carrying on up the stairs back to bed.

i smashed the numbers into the phone and dialled.

ringgggg...... ringggggg.... ringggg-

"hello" the man on the other line answered.

"hello, is this simon cowell?" i questioned also a bit shocked at my own ability to being so forward.

"this is he, may i ask who's calling?" he questioned in his thick british accent.

"ermmm - yes, this is Remington. you said for me to call you and here i am. i hope this isn't a bad time." i stuttered.

"no not at all. Remington the only question is. Do you really want this? if so you need to pack your suit cases and get everything ready. i will have a private plane waiting for you and i will have you an apartment set up ect until your career gets going a bit" he babbled on and on.

" thank you so much simon, i will be on my way to the airport in fifteen minutes" i rushed.

"ok Remmi, see you soon" he hung up. wow, he already came up with a nickname for me.

i was just about to walk up the stairs when i saw Lyndsey come downstairs with a large suitcase in her hand. i gave her a puzzled look.

" hey hun, listen, i love you loads and loads. everything you need is in this suit case and simon just text me. put these clothes on and your taxi is outside to take you to the airport. have a safe flight and don't forget to text molly once you get there." she kissed my cheek. "goodnight, fly safe."
