Hey guys! This story is about 18 year old Leah Pauls. Her family's house burns down and they go to live with their old family friends, the Styles. Leah is sure that game has turned Harry into an arrogant, stuck up jerk. Anyways, this story starts off not too well written, but it gets better so keep reading!

"Leah! Wake up, we need to get out of here!"

"Mom?" I groan, rubbing my eyes, "what's going on?"

"The house is on fire, we need to go now!" She says in a hurry

With that, I'm wide awake. I jump out of bed, grab my phone and my favourite sweater that's lying on the floor along with a pair of jeans, and I start towards the door.

"Which way do we go?" I ask mom in a panic. She grabs my hand and leads me through the house, both of us shaking with fear.

It feels like an eternity before we finally make it to the front door and push it open. We run outside and I see my dad standing near the street, waiting anxiously.

"Dad!" I yell, running into his arms, "I'm so scared."

I pull away from him and for the first time I get a look at my house. It's a good sized, modern home in L.A. But right now, it is literally up in flames.

"I already called the fire department." My dad assures us, grabbing one of my hands and one of my mom's. It is only now that I realize it is still dark out and I reach for my phone to check the time. 2:47 am.

Lights are starting to turn on from the houses around us and I stand there with my parents, watching everything we have burn down. It feels like a lifetime before I finally hear the sound of sirens coming down the street.

A few house later, we are checked in to a hotel room, all of us too worked up to sleep. We have very little left. Over half of our house burned down, and we didn't have time to grab many possessions. We each have our phones, my parents have their wallets, and I have a sweater and jeans.

All I can do is worry. Where will we go, how will we buy all new things, what will happen to our house? Eventually my thoughts quiet and I drift off to sleep.
