Prologue

My Dearest Lennox,

I'm so sorry. I really am truly sorry. I bet you're thinking this is really weird writing you a letter, but I remember how you love them. Remember that one summer day, when we were sitting at the island in your kitchen and your dad walked in and said that he had a letter for you? And you were so happy; it was from your grandmother who just left to go visit Africa. You said, "I love how grandmother writes letters instead texting me. I don't think she knows how to text anyways." I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life.

I hope I'm not hurting you more, but I think this is a more special way to tell you then to call you. But I can't be your friend anymore. I know that with me going away and your life might be hell, but I have too. Remember, I will always love you no matter if we're friends or not.

Love, Louis

*LENNOX'S VIEW*

"Lennox Ann Harrison!" Screams one of my best friends, Shelby. I moan even though she can't hear me. I live in London, England with my two best friends, Shelby and Callie. We're more like sisters then best friends. Shelby has blonde mid-length hair with bright blue eyes, Callie also has short blond hair with brown eyes, while I am the complete opposite with brown long hair and hazel eyes.

"Lennox Ann Harrison get your ass out of bed before I do it for you!" Yells Shelby again. I know what's going to happen but I'm too lazy to get out of bed. I shut my eyes tight and hope it isn't too cold this time. Before I know it, someone comes barging in, I still have my eyes squeezed shut when I feel a rush of coldness overpower me. I get up with a start and shake my head to get the water out. Shelby stands there with a now empty bucket and a devious smile on her face.

"Shelby Rose Steele." I say slowly, her eyes widening. She can tell I'm mad. She throws the bucket in the air and goes rushing out the door and down the stairs. I run after her taking the steps two by two. She runs into the kitchen and hides behind Callie. Callie looks startled but the look on her face quickly turns to anger as she stands there with a hand on her hip.

"What have you girls done?" She asks with her hand still on her hip.

"She threw water on me again." I say at the same time as Shelby says, "Nothing."

"You guys get no food then." Callie says. Shelby comes out from behind Callie and stands next to me and we both go, "Please, please. We'll be good."

Callie shrugs and goes back to cooking. "How about who ever gets dressed first gets food." She says without turning around.

Shelby and I look at each other before stumbling up the stairs, pushing each other either into the railing or the wall. We finally get to the top of the stairs, and trust me their is a lot of stairs. We lay on our backs catching our breath. One thing I know Shelby and I have in common is that food is worth anything.

I'm the first one up and I barge into my room. My room is quite dirty. I'm not saying I'm a dirty person, I actually don't mind cleaning, sometimes. Clothes are all scattered across my floor and my bed is soaked. I'm gonna have to get Shelby for that later. I make my way through my clothes and to my closet. I throw on skinny jeans with my short blue cropped shirt that shows off my belly button ring, I got it done when I was 16, don't judge, I was stupid.
