Selena's POV:

I like rain, it gives me a sense of home. I don't really have home now.

-- flashback --

We had just got done celebrating my brothers graduation at some fancy restaurant .

Me and my brother listened to the sounds of my parents arguing about what station they'd rather listen too. We laughed as my dad started dancing to the 80's music.

I looked at my brother who was smiling,"You're gonna miss me when Im at college aren't you?" he looked at me with puppy eyes.

I laughed punching him in the arm, "Nope I'm just glad I get your room!" he hit me back."Okay I'll miss you a little bit."

I dazed out the window as my dad casually went about the roads. All of sudden I saw big bright lights heading right towards are direction.

-- flashback over --

Spending the last two months recovering it was time for me to start school. My aunt Linda refused letting me stay in my house alone. So here I am driving to Washington. All I can see is trees, mountains and rain.

I wasn't all excited to leave my home filled with memories of my dad, mom, and brother. Seeing how I'll be living with my cousin and aunt. Who I never really liked. My aunt never thought my mom, her sister was good enough.

She loved my brother though, who wouldn't. He had a football, basketball and wrestling scholarship. He was and A+ student. He was my idol and my best friend. Honestly I miss him so much and if I think about him to much I'll break down.

I finally was in the town that my mom grew up in. It was a small town, but it was calm. I saw a few teenagers laughing as they walked in a theater.

There were small town stores like the book store, and a thrift store. Nothing huge though, it was cute like a movie.

I kept driving until I turned onto Muddy-string Lane. which was where I was told to turn. I pulled into the driveway of a white house it was beautiful, and big. Almost like every other house in this town.

I sat and stared into my lap for a minute. Trying to think maybe if I'd just keep driving and never stop. Would that take away the pain.

My thoughts were interrupted as I heard a knock at my window. I saw a blonde that looked overly happy, and dun dun it was the cousin from hell. I smiled as I opened the door,"Hi Selena I haven't seen you since well we were kids."she laughed.

I pushed my hair behind my ear,"Yeah it's been forever, would you mind helping me with my stuff?" I directing my fingers to my bags and boxes.

She nodded anxiously and we brought everything inside and after that she helped me put them in my room. She soon left and was out of breath. I had a balcony that was beautiful. I opened it up allowing the cool breeze to flow in and out.

My room had a white bed and frame, but also had a beautiful white dresser. I started putting away clothes and setting my perfumes and jewelry on my dresser. I finally finished with that. I set up this white stand that I had gotten and placed it next to this beautiful white comfy chair.

On the stand I placed my brothers football, and his wrapped up basketball jersey and medals. Next I put a picture of my parents on there wedding day, and a random picture of me and my brother.

I brought a hand up to my locket that use to be my moms, it was beautiful and special to me.

My room was finally completed and it looked amazing I really liked the olden look. I decided to head down stairs and see what my cousin Lucy was up too.

I took long strides down the stairs, and I was glad I was the only one who had a room up stairs. When I walked into the living room I saw some kid hovered over Lucy, they were obviously making out.

Lucy soon noticed me and jumped up, "Oh Selena this is my boyfriend his name is Liam, isn't he cute?" she asked in a squeaky little voice.

I widened my eyes,"The cutest." I said in childish voice but they both didn't care."Well I'm gonna head out." I said grabbing my keys off the coffee table. I quickly ran outside not looking back.

I drove until I saw the cutest coffee shop, it was perfect. I pulled over hopping out of my car. Taking a step in there the bell above the door made a jingle.

Then I saw him.

A boy with beautiful green eyes turned my way. His hair was curly and had a chestnut color to it. He gave me a slight smile. He was wearing a white v-neck shirt,jeans, and some converse. I could see he had tattoos on his arms. They looked good on him.

I made my way over to the line that was fairly short. It didn't take long for the green eyed boy to turn around,"So I've never seen you around before are you new here or something?" he said placing his hands in his pockets.

My stomach soon was filled with butterflies, and they were a beautiful kind."Yeah is it that obvious? I'm Selena I just moved here from San Francisco." I said the words flowing out of me like honey.

He grinned and laughed,"No it's just I'd remember a beautiful face, and I'm Harry Styles." His deep raspy voice ringed in my ears. I could feel my cheeks warming up and I probably was pink now.

A big smile appeared on my face,"Oh is that so. Well Harry can you tell me what the best drink is right now?" I said glancing as he was next in line.

He stepped a little closer to the counter "Well the pumpkin spice latte is the best, it taste like well "heaven." He said and brushed his long fingers through his curly hair.

He soon was called up and when the lady asked for what he wanted he replied with," I'll take 2 Pumpkin Spice Lattes please." she nodded she said it would take about five minutes.

He motioned for me to come and sit at one of the small tables," You didn't have to do that you know, but thank you." I smiled feeling grateful that he did though.

He smiled again I noticed his dimple that was really cute,"Well yeah I did, because now you owe me one." he said it like was a dare or something.

I laughed playing along,"Oh yeah and what could that be? You're not gonna make me jump off a cliff are you?" I said joking him up.

He cooed his face and nodded," Oh no, you're gonna sit with me at lunch tomorrow right?" he said coming closer.

But the lady soon yelled "Harry." I got up rushing over to the lattes. Walking back calmly and handing it to Harry as he stood up.

I smiled," Well maybe. But thanks for the latte." I said turning around. I could tell I left him speechless.

----------------------------------------------

I was still blushing from Harry as I walked into the house. I refuse to call it my home, cause it wasn't. I was soon greeted by Linda.

All she did was pat my back,"Hi Selena umm so there is not really any rules. I give you an allowance every week as long as you keep your room clean, and tidy." I nodded and she walked off.

She was the exact opposite of my mom. I soon felt empty again when I was with Harry it was like he filled that hole up. I made my way to the kitchen and I knew for a fact they didn't eat together.

I heated up some oatmeal and finished off my latte. Harry was write it was like "heaven." I laughed thinking about him. I rinsed my bowl out and set it on the counter.

Making my way back to my room I changed out of my shorts and shirt. I threw on some sweats and opened up my computer. Turning on Netflix I sat and watched an episode of The Vampire Diaries. I soon felt myself drift off, and my eyes quickly closed.
