My American Girl (A Finn Harries story of Friendship/Love)

Chapter 1

I squint my eyes at the bright sun-light streaming through my bedroom window. I look over at my alarm clock, 9:45. Jack is supposed to get here around 11. Plenty of time I think to myself, as start to drift back to sleep.

"EMILEE!!!" I hear Emmy scream up the stair.

I groan and get up and out of my nice comfy bed. I poke my head out my door and look at her at the bottom of the staircase.

"WHAT?!" I scream back causing her to jump.

"God, you don't have to yell." she says sarcasticly

I give her a smirk and walk out if my room and down to her.

"What did you need?" I ask when we are face to face.

"Mom wanted me to tell you to get ready, we are meeting Jack at Starbucks for breakfast at 10" She says smiling like an idiot.

I can tell Emmy is really excited about her brothers taking a gap year from UNI.

"10...as in 15 minutes from now?!" I half scream at her

"Yea, go get dressed....and hurry."

"Shit.." I scream running back up the stairs.

"LANGUAGE!!" I hear Rebecca scream from the kitchen

"SORRY MUM I LOVE YOU" I scream back at her

I hear her laugh as I rush to find my clothes. Jack is getting home an hour early, and I'm just NOW hearing about it?! once i'm satisfied with my outfit, I quickly run to the bathroom to finish getting ready.

"FIVE MORE MINUTES" Emmy screams

"Fuck. my. life," I say to myself while brushing my hair. When i'm finally done I walk, no, I strut down the stairs.

"God Em it's breakfast, not a fashion show." she states

"well, excuse me for wanting to make a good first impression." I say back

We climb in the backseat of the car. As Andy starts to pull away from the curb, I think about how I should present myself to Jack. Should I start with a joke or just go with a simple "Hello" and introduce myself. I just need to be confident in myself! When we pull up to Starbucks, Emmy and I practically jump out of the car and run inside. I open the door and let the smell of freshly brewed coffee fill my nose. This is why I love coming here, not only the delicious coffee but the amazing aroma of it.

"There's Jack!" Emmy exclaims pointing to a man sitting alone at a table

He looks up so you can fully see his face. Emmy takes off over to him and sits down and begins talking with him. I lag behind with the butterflies starting in my tummy. I hope Jack and I get along  because we will be living together for at least a year, same goes with Finn. I sit beside Emmy, and draw my attention to Jack.

"Hi, I'm Emilee" I say stuttering

So much for confidence.

"I'm Jack nice to meet you" he says back.

I give him a small smile which he returns. I release the breath I was holding.

So far so good.

Rebecca and Andy bring us our coffee and food and we engage in small talk.

"So...Emmy has told me a lot about you." I say striking up a conversation

"Has she?" He replies

"Yea.. but don't worry, all good things," I say giving a slight giggle

"Well good, I was worries for a second" he says laughing.

We ended up talking about how he's great to be back home, and how he missed his family. I think it's safe to say things between Jack and I are going to be just fine.
