Nicole's POV

Monday is the worst day of the week. I'm tired, I have so much homework, and you know, you go back to school after a relaxing weekend. Great.

I walk home from school everyday. I don't mind really, it gives me time away from the world while I get to think in silence. It's only a mile walk anyway, there's my daily excercise! And today, the subject that crosses my mind is the one boy that I care about in my life. The boy that I love and I think about every day. Harry.

My brother Harry was my best friend. He took care of me, protected me, and always had my back. Don't forget the amazing fun we had together. There was never a dull moment in our relationship. Until April 11th, 2010.

Harry has always had an amazing voice. We, as a family, always pushed him to do something with his voice, show his talent off to the world.

One day, while we were having family dinner, Harry's friend called him on the Telly, saying that X Factor auditions were happening and that he should try out! Harry was so excited that he practiced all day, every day. He was going to do 'Isn't she Lovely' because his voice went so perfect with that song. He also sang it to me every night before I went to bed, leaving me to sleep with happy thoughts.

He told me that if he got on the show, he would always put me first, always be part of my life. But no. He abandoned me, and lied. I still love him, of course, and I miss him so much it hurts, but he hurt me.

None of my friends know I'm Harry Styles little sister. I don't want people knowing because they would only want to be my friend because he's my brother. That's why I don't have any friends. If I can't find true friends, what's the point in having friends at all?

After thinking this over on my walk home from school, I reach the driveway of my house. It's a nice modern city house, with a slick light brown paint job and a black color on the roof. I think it has a very good slick charm to it on the outside with the white doors in the front. That's one of the perks of having parents as realtors, you have the best looking house on the block.

After unlocking the front door with my key, I step inside to the smell of cupcakes in the oven, my favorite smell.

"Mom?" I yelled across the house that appeared to be empty. "Dad?"

After hearing no reply, I went into the kitchen to see where the delicious sweet smell was.

When I step into the kitchen, I find a plate of cupcakes with pink frosting and multicolored sprinkles. I pick one up and bite into the flavor filled treat. They're still warm. Where were my parents? When I go to pick up the plate of cupcakes, I see a piece of paper sticking out from the bottom. I pick up what looks like a note from mom and dad.

Dear Nicole,

Your father and I got a last minute call for an open house in Flordia, so you will be home alone the rest of the week. We are sorry for the short notice, but this auction will give us such a great opportunity for our real estate business. We left our credit card in our bedroom, and the keys to the truck are there too. Have fun! We love you!

Love,

Mom and Dad<3

The second I read 'you will be home alone the rest of the week' I knew what I was going to do. I ran upstairs and into my room. I found a suitcase under my bed, and I threw practically every piece of clothing and all the toiletries I had inside the suitcase. Zipping it up, I rushed into my parents room to find the keys and credit card on their dresser. With my suitcase in hand, I ran downstairs and checked to make sure the heating and lights were all turned off. No one would be here for a week. Then, I bursted out the front door to our Red Ford F150. I threw my suitcase in the back seat of the truck, then walked around to the drivers side door. My adrenaline was crazy and out of control. I was so excited that I could finally do it, I was going to do it. Turning on the raving engine, I sped out of my driveway, and I was on my way to the airport. I was going to find my brother.

Hey! Thank you for reading this; if anyone did, this is a dream I had and I just had to put it on here! Well I am really excited for this book, and enjoy!

BTW let me fill you in. Nicole is 16 and Harry at the moment is 19, he has been gone for 3 years and Nicole lives with her parents. Ok there ya go(:
