My Chance - The Vamps fanfiction

Chapter 1

Elle was what people would describe as the perfect human being, her long blonde hair flowed to her hips in loose ringlets and her blue eyes always sparkled. Her gorgeous facial features and perfect figure made boys believe that they could get exactly what they wanted from her when in reality she would never do anything like that.

Not only was she beautiful but she was highly intelligent, getting top marks in every subject. However, she felt like her social life was far from perfect, boys would often get angry and break up with her if she told them she wasn't ready to go all the way. Her so called friends were jealous of her but she didn't understand why, Elle didn't see the beauty everyone else saw in her, she only saw the imperfections. Elle wasn't close with any of her friends and felt like an out cast in her school. She used to talk to her brothers about her problems but as they'd both gone off to uni she only had her parents but they didn't have a close relationship with her.

Elle' s POV

"Elle wake up, Ed and Joe are off to uni" I heard my dad shout up the stairs too me. I pulled myself out bed and ran down stairs, I couldn't believe my brothers were leaving me.

They were twins and they were both going to the same university to study medicine. As soon as they heard me hurtling down the stairs towards them they opened their arms simultaneously so I could hug them both. The tears were welling up in my eyes and I was trying my hardest not to let them out, they were the only ones who I could talk to about my problems and now they were leaving.

"El, don't cry you know me and Ed will if you do," Joe stated as tears began to roll down his cheeks. I looked towards Ed and a tear had escaped his eye, he quickly wiped it away.

"I'm sorry, I'm just going to miss you guys so much" I managed to choke out as I was now crying so much it was hard to see.

"It will be fine, don't worry, we'll call you all the time and you can always come and visit when you aren't busy." Ed reassured me as he pulled me in for another tight hug.

"Right, come on boys, it's time we get going" my mum stated pulling us apart, I glared at her for a second before looking down at my feet. I was still in my pyjamas and my legs were getting cold as I was only wearing shorts.

Joe and Ed pulled me into one last hug before they went to the car and drove off with my mum. I stood on the pavement waving to them until they were out of sight.

I went straight into my room to get ready for the day which lay ahead of me. As soon as I was ready I went downstairs to find a bowl of cereal waiting for me on the kitchen table, I quickly ate it and ran to get my school bag so I wouldn't be late to school. I gave my dad a hug and a kiss on the cheek before I walked out of the door and headed towards school.

I had pretty good lessons today but that didn't necessarily mean I was going to enjoy it. I had photography first period which meant I was going to be alone for the first hour doing a mood board. Everyone thought mine was going to be happy and bright and colourful but really, it's dark and twisted. I'm not entirely sure where all my ideas came from but I knew that it was how I truly felt.

"Hey Elle," Scarlett said walking towards me as I walked in the front gate. I smiled at her warmly but I knew she didn't like me, she was only using me so she could copy my answers in maths. "Is it true you and Tom broke up?" She asked

"Yeah, we didn't want the same things so we decided to end it" I stated trying to avoid this topic of conversation.

"Oh right," Scarlett smiled, obviously knowing it was a sensitive topic. Just at that moment, I noticed Tom and his group of friends walk around the corner. He looked directly at me and as he passed where myself and Scarlett were standing, he mumbled something under his breath causing all of his friends to burst out into laughter.

The bell went and I ran to photography to get away from everyone, I could get some peace and quiet and I don't have to talk to the people who pretend to be my friends.

************************************************************

At the end of the day I raced home but as soon as I entered my house I knew that something was wrong. My dad was on the phone talking urgently to someone who sounded like his boss and my mum was nervously pacing the kitchen.

They both noticed me walk into the kitchen, my dad hung up and sat down at the table while my mum continued to pace behind him.

"We have something that we've been meaning to tell you"dad began. "I've been offered a job in Birmingham but it would involve us moving there, how would you feel about that?"

A huge grin spread across my face as I realised what this could mean. If we moved to Birmingham then I wouldn't have to worry about any of my old friends, I could start again and make real friend and get on with my life as I wished.

"I would absolutely love to!" I exclaimed, mum stopped in her tracks and dad froze, they both looked at me and gave me very confused looks.

"So you wouldn't mind going?" Mum questioned.

"Mum I hate it here, I'd love to go" I laughed.

"Well there is something else," Dad said, he was playing with the sleeves on his jumper without looking me in the eye. "Before I married your mother, I was with someone else and we had a child, we thought if we moved to Birmingham it would give you a chance to meet your older brother" My face dropped, I had an older brother and they never thought they would tell me. Joe and Ed were my half brothers as well, their dad died when they were little so when my parents met they lived with us but that hasn't stopped us from being close. I was happy that I had another brother but I was extremely angry that no one had told me. I stormed out of the room and ran upstairs, I needed space to think.

Once I'd been alone in my room for a couple of hours I heard footsteps and a light knock on the door. "Elle it's me, can I come in?" I heard my dad on the other side of the door.

"Sure," I mumbled, just loud enough for him to hear. He opened the door and shut it quietly before sitting down next to me.

"I'm sorry we didn't tell you, I don't have an excuse for not saying anything to you and I know now that it was a huge mistake." He said whilst putting his arm around me, I could feel his eyes staring at me but I didn't want to look up.

"It's okay, I just wish I'd known, what's his name?" I asked still not looking at him properly.

"He's called Connor and he's a year older than you, when we move there we'll be living with him and his mum until we can find a house." He said packing in the all the necessary information as quickly as possible.

I nodded and looked up, dad was still staring at me, "when are we leaving?"

"Next week, so we need to get all your stuff packed, the boxes are in the loft, you can get them down when your ready." He said before looking around my messy room. This was going to take forever to sort out. My dad left the room and went downstairs while I considered whether I should start now or wait until later. Taking one last look around the room I decided now was the time to start.
