Guys Like You

Introduction + Copyright Statement

Hi. I'm Raven Anthea Toledo. Call me Anthea instead. It's what they all call me though I have nothing against my first name. But it was the name he used to call me.

I'm 20 years old and I live in London with my best friend. My mother died when I was 15 and my father is a terrible man. He made me live in a place I didn't want to be in and yet I am british. I inherited my mum's features: blonde hair and blue eyes.

I was bullied when I was in grade school. The only reason it was ever bearable is because of my best friend whom I met when I was in fifth grade, Alexia Williams. She's british too, the reason we were always together. She didn't look at me weirdly because of how I talk or how I dress. Because we were the same.

I broke up with my boyfriend, Nick Floyd, a couple of days ago when I discovered him at his place with an unknown girl. And yes, it still hurts.

It's hard to live without financial support from your family. Even though Alex and I put a roof over our heads, it doesn't mean we don't have to work our arses off on keeping ourselves alive and healthy. We aren't the wealthiest people but we manage.

I'm still studying in Uni, trying to balance education with work. It's not easy. I work as a cashier at Forever 21 and Alex works as a baker at a place called Cupcake Palace. We don't really have money to spend for our wants but we have money to spend for Uni, paying bills and taxes, buying clothes and food. Those are the only things that are important for us right now.

But I'm not going to sit here and cry about my life.

Besides, I've already done that.

I guess I could consider myself special but I'm not vain enough to say that about myself so yeah. I'm your average girl. Wait, I'm sorry, I'm now considered a woman who apparently has to "tackle adult responsibilites" that's a big fat lie. Forever young, motherfuckers. Some people say I'm too old to like the things I like. For example: One Direction. So what if I like them? Is it illegal to like a boyband? Besides, one of them already turned 20 and that one was my favourite. Coincidence, huh? But I'd like to think it's fate.

But to be honest, I already am "tackling adult responsibilities" since I've been living with my best friend since I was 18 without the consent of my father. But I was eighteen so I'm legal. And I didn't really care if my father thought I was "a spoiled child" or an "ungrateful person". He didn't really make a good piece to my puzzle (otherwise known as my life) but I know I needed him to fill the gap as a parent. Sometimes I like to tell myself I still need him.

I guess that's all you really need to know about me. There's not much to say, really.

That's it. Everything you need to know.

If you want to know more, you know what to do.

So we told you there was going to be a fanfic coming your way! I hope you like the introduction. I know it kinda sucks and all that but I promise you, it gets way better.

This is a Niall Horan fanfic if that wasn't obvious. This fanfic is for my best friend, AntheaLovesYou (she's my main character and that seems pretty evident) at the same time this one goes to her because she is just cool like that.

I'm going to be announcing a few rules and updating schedules a little later. 

Anyways, I hope you guys like it and please leave a comment. I don't know if I should continue so please. It would mean a lot to me :)

Oh and you might want to vote :D
