So my mum and dad have been split up since I was 5, and they've had split custody.
I really like it, because my mum lives in Australia and my dad lives in London. I prefer being away from him.

Since its joint custody it means I have to spend a year in England and a year in Australia.
I hate it. I move, get settled in and end up moving again. I want to just stay in Australia with my mum but my dad won't let me. I hate him...

I'm 17 so I should be able to decide what I do, but in a few months it's my 18th birthday and I'll finally be free to do whatever and go wherever I choose!

I'm Sophie. I have short brown hair and I'm not that tall. I'm not the prettiest or most popular at school, and since I move a lot I don't have any best friends. Just people that I think feel sorry for me.

I have depression and have lots of anxiety attacks, but the only thing that helps ease things is whenever I watch these 5 idiots on YouTube. The Janoskians. I've been a fan from the very beginning and I've met them a few times because my mum got me M&G tickets. When I found out, I had a panic attack and had to go into hospital because I was fangirling and was in so much shock... weird I know, but I'm a crazy teenager so what can I do?

I got diagnosed with depression when I was 15, after a horrific experience with my father. The memory of that day has never left my mind, and nobody knows... only my mother. it gives me severe anxiety and panic attacks so I haven't visited my dad in the 2 years since it happened. I just can't face him after what he did to me...

----------------------------------------------

My mother had moved houses to the other end of the country but I had no idea where. While the move was happening, i stayed in with my aunt, who also lived in Australia. Since we were moving so far away, i wanted to be with her because I'll miss her so much; especially since I'll hardly see her anymore.  I was hoping for it to be in a city, or at least near one because living in a village was way too quiet. Secretly I'd hoped it was near Melbourne; even better, in Melbourne. As I approached signs for Melbourne, it's became clearly obvious that's where the house was.

When the car pulled up, I immediately recognised the park over the road and the drive way next door.
My mother lived on the same street as the Janoskians.
I had to let the excitement sink in but I couldn't.

I immediately recognised the house next door and started screaming... 

"Sophie calm down! Whats the matter?" my mother had a slight smirk on her face.

"Did you buy this house next to them on purpose? Mum i'm being serious did you?"

"Okay, maybe i saw the area and thought it was a nice place, and i saw that there was a house for sale on the same road where they live so i thought that would please you." 

I seriously love my mum! A huge smile grew on my face and i couldn't believe where i was. ME of all people was lucky enough to live next to the Brooks brothers.

I tried to forget about it for now, but the thought couldn't leave my mind. And the smile never left my face. I decided to help my mum take the left over boxes into the house. All of our furniture and most of our belongings had been brought down here a couple of weeks ago and unpacked, so the house was ready when we got here. I hated unpacking my room, it took so long. But a bit of Janoskians got me throught anything. So i played STWOF, my favourite song. 

It had been 3 hours since we arrived and i realised i hardly knew my way around here. So i headed off to the park, secretly hoping i would bump into them...

As i stepped out of the house, i looked across to their drive and i saw Beau's car sitting in the driveway so that was a good sign, they were at home. As i came across the tree that was in many of their videos, i was trying to hold in my excitment when to my luck, a gorgeous boy came walking over.

"Dammit Beau! Can't yo do anything right?" 

It was Luke. The REAL Luke. I couldn't hold it in any longer. 

"Oh... my... god." I whispered to myself, hoping he wouldn't hear. I started walking backwards towards the tree when i tripped over a branch and felt myself falling...

i hit the ground with a thud. My head hurt, i must have hit it on the tree when i fell. When they saw me on the floor, Luke and Beau came rushing over, boht with worried looks on their faces.

"Are you okay?!" Beau reached me first and helped me up. This couldn't actually be happening right now!

"Yeah i guess, thanks for helping me," Luke gave me a sweet little smile as we walked over to the bench and sat down. 

"no problem. Hey i remember you... Have we met?" I can't beleive Beau remembered me. I suppose i had met them 4 times before...

"Um yeah i've been to 4 meet and greets, i didn't think you'd remember me! I just moved here from the north, I'm Sophie,"

"Well it's very nice to meet you Sophie. Where abouts did you move to?" I LOVE LUKE OMG.

"Ummm it's next to your place, and before you ask how i know where you live, i'm literally one of your biggest fans and i've watched every one of your videos about a million times so i know where you live."

Luke and Beau looked at each other and exchanged smirks. And then Luke winked at me..

----------------------------------------------------------------


After talking for a while, the boys showed me around the area a little. Luke and I exchanged numbers too, so i guess i'll be seeing  lot more of these boys. My life just got a whole lot better. I told Beau about my anxiety and he understood, so if i ever had a moment when i was with these guys i'd have no problems.



We'd been out around Melbourne for around two hours now, and it was starting to get dark. Being with Luke made me forget everything that was going on in reality. He was so different than i expected him to be in person, and it was a good different. I'm so glad i moved, and the best thing is my dad doesn't even know so he can't find me.

Since it was getting late, I texted my mum explaining where i was, and she said she didn't mind as she'd gone round the the Brooks household and introduced herself to Gina. Beau had left us a couple of hours ago to go and meet Jai, so it was just me and Luke for a while. I couldn't wait to meet Jai! Maccas with Luke was so funny, it was like having a playdate with a little kid. He said he wanted to take me somewhere fancy for dinner so i agreed, and thats where he took me. Typical Luke.

"My mums at yours, i guess she's met Gina," i told him.

"That's okay, you can come round if you like? Stay over?"
