Chapter One - Zoey's pov

Savanna was on her way and I was panicking. My dad hadn't been back since yesterday, and that always meant he had been drinking. I needed Savannah here now, or else my dad would start again. I was locked up in my bedroom when the door knocked. I ran downstairs to see Savanna standing outside. Her dark hair was set up in a loose ponytail, she wore an oversized, grey sweater with some black jeans and boots. "Hey, I'm here! What's up?" I didn't say anything, I just let her in. I was really scared and started running up the stairs. "Zoe!" She yelled at me, And i just dragged her with me up to my room. "Zoe stop!" "My dad is coming home, okay? And he's gonna be waisted! Now Please! Just come up here with me!" She looked up at me with concerned eyes, when she started running up the stairs after me. As we got to my room, we locked the door and I felt safe again. "Zoe... this can't go on. Eventually you have to tell someone." I sighed at her. "Like who?" I grabbed my guitar and started playing some chords."Zoe, you can't go on like this, terrified of your own dad? That's crazy talk."

"Zoey!" I heard my dad screaming at me from the bottom of the stairs, and you could smell the alcohol from there. I grabbed Savanna's hand as I squeesed it, counting slowly up to 100. "Zoey, Come down here please!" his voice was shaky and loud, and I heard his footsteps from the stairs. When he got to outside my bedroom, he tried opening the door, and he realized that didn't work, he got angry. He tried more, and more, again, and again, and he didn't stop. I didnt know what else to do, but to bend my knees, and crawl up by Savanna's side, and burst out crying.

The very next day I woke up next to Savanna. My dad was probably lying right outside my bedroom door, sleeping in. I slowly stood up, realizing I was still wearing the same as yesterday. Savanna was still asleep, snoring, and I sneaked out of my bedroom, checking on my dad. And as I thought, my dad was lying right outside my bedroom door with an half empty bottle of whiskey. He wore a red shirt with an ugly grey T-Shirt under it, and some big jeans.

The worst was the smell.

It was a mix between alcohol, Cigarettes, and drugs. "Zoey?" he mummbled, And I backed of. "Dad." I added. "Zoey, what happened last night?" he tried to stand up, and I backed of even more. "Enough for me not to trust you yet, okay? Now go to bed, an let the alcohol fade." He groaned and leaned to the wall, walking towards his bedroom.

"Good morning." I heard Savanna mumble behind me. "How is he?" She whispered. "The Alcohol is fading. Do you want some breakfast? And later we can go to that new music shop." I tried to change the subject, and she looked at me, worried for about three seconds, when she just let in. "Sounds great, But you need to lend me some clothes and stuff like that." It wasn't planned that she was spending the night, so it just happened. We made some pancakes and coffee, showered, and I gave her a black pair of jeans and a big, grey T-Shirt with 'GEEK' on it. I on the other hand, wore a pair of dark-blue jeans, and a tank-top with 'The rolling stones' on it, and a grey hoodie. "Let's gooo!" We rased down to my car. It was an old, blue mazda with bumps everywhere. But still - I wasnt a billionaire. I turned up the radio and they was playing "Na Na Na" By My chemical romance, My absolute favorite band. I turned up the volume, and me and Savanna just danced around in the car like there was no tomorrow,and when we got there we were both laughing a bit to loud.

We went inside the store, and it was huge, probably the size of IKEA. It was guitars everywhere, diffrent sizes and colours and brands. My jaw dropped as I gazed the place, and I noticed two guys standing by the Gibson's. One of them was was holding a big, red Hummingbird. I had always wanted one of those, but yet - I didn't have 4000 dollars. I looked around for some other guitars with Savanna, When she mouthed over two me "That's Niall Horan!" yeah, like I knew who that was?? I just shrugged my shoulders, and kept on looking for guitars. "Niall Horan? From One direction?" She looked at me like there was hope. "Wait.." I was getting an Idea of who she was talking about. "One direction.. that's the band that everyone seems to adore, right?" She sighed at me. "YES, it is." "Go get a picture then! I'll wait here."

"Wait here? You're comming with me." she dragged my arm, but I pulled it back."No, I'm not." Not that she cared. She pulled me up by her side, as we were walking torwards the apparently very fameous guy. He saw that we were comming to him, and smiled to us, and I was dying of embarrasment. "Hello, can we please get a picture?" Savanna asked him, and I leaned over to her, whispering "I don't WANT a picture!". "Well that's too fucking bad!" She mummbled back to me. "Deo, Do you mind?" He gave the camera to the guy standing next to him, and walked towards us, that's when our eyes met. His eyes were unbelievebly blue, he had pale skin, with red cheeks, and blonde hair with dark roots and a quiff. He was very handsome, and that was probaly the reason for his success. He stopped walking, still looking at me, and I looked away. He stood by us now, wrapping his arms around us. Savanna was almost passing out and I couldn't keep my laughter inside.

Niall's Pov

Her blonde hair that reached her to the centre of her back, and her pale skin with some freckles, but the thing that took my breath away, was her eyes. They wer so.. cold, yet beautiful, but still - they were empty, sad, it made her look damaged, really. I kept on walking over to them, wrapping my arms around them as Deo captured the picture, and in that very second, the blonde one burst out laughing, and I knew why. Her friend was hyperventilating, almost passing out. "I'm sorry.. I'm sorry, I just.." her voice faded behind the laughter, and she just pointed at her friend. "Thank you for that Zoey" her friend said with a sarcastic voice, "You're very fucking welcome." Her name was Zoey, that's nice. "Zoey ay?" I looked down at my shoes, "Yeah, my name is Zoey." She was still laughing a little, only chuckling really. "And Savanna, we should probably go back to the guitars we can afford without paying a month's rent!" she pulled Savanna up by her side, and I went back to looking at guitars. But still, her face couldn't get out of my mind, and I couldn't help myself but looking over to her every now and then. She was holding a red one, playing with the strings. She looked so into it, the music. It was like nothing else in the hole world mattered, just the bond between her, and the guitar. She was really good too, no probem getting the grips right, and I just got lost in the moment when Deo started whining about the shop being to big, and we wouldn't have time for all of it. "Well, too bad. We're staying." Niall sighed at me, "Godammit Niall just ask her out!" "Not so loud please!" I punched him in the arm. "Just go!" He pushed me in her direction, and she saw it, so I just got to my sences and started walking over to her. "Uhm.. Hi" hi? Really? Hi was the only thing you could think of? I'm a bloody idiot. "Hello." she quickly replied, she was still playing with the strings, not paying alot of attention to me really, when she finally looked up, her eyes looking at me.

Okay Niall this your chance.

"I was wondering if, uhm.. you maybe, someday would like to go out with me?" I was really nervous. Seriously, I felt my cheeks exploding. "Oh, Niall, uhm.. I..." "WOULD LOVE TO." Savanna finished for her, and I saw Zoey having the urge to slap her, And Savanna just walked straight over to me, giving me a note. "That her number and address, don't screw it up." She said and just walked past me, over to the Violins. "I'll pick you up at 7, if thats okay?" She didn't say anything, she just stood there with her jaw dropped, She didn't say a word, she just stared at me. "hello? Anyone in there?" I waved up in her face. "I'll, see you then I guess..?" she mummbled, still in shock.

THAT WAS CHAPTER ONE.
