I wake up during the night with a really sore and dry throat. Must of been from the concert I thought. I shuffle out of bed trying not to wake the sleeping body next to me. I unlock my phone to check the time and see that it was only half three. I also see that I have a text, a missed call and a tweet. I leave it and leave a mental note to check them in the morning.
I tiptoe out of the room and into the hallway. Breathing a sigh of relief because I can now walk normally, I go downstairs to get a drink of water. After returning to our room I plug my headphones back in, replaying the play list so I can fall asleep. At home I just play the music out loud but here I plug my headphones in, I don't know why but I always listen to a play list before bed, just routine i guess.

I get woken up in the morning by Charlotte tapping my arm.
I moan in frustration. "What is it?" I ask.
"Come on its ten o'clock, we're supposed to be going out today." She is far to happy for it to be morning. I hate mornings, I prefer to wake naturally.
I attempt to open my eyes, instantly regretting it. Charlotte had opened the curtains, letting the August sun light shine through the window.
After letting my eyes adjust underneath the duvet I take my head out leaving my eyes completely vulnerable to the light. I see Charlotte sitting at her mirror applying her mascara. She was wearing a pair of white shorts and grey sleeveless top that has 'music=my life' written on it.
I stagger out of bed and grab some of my clothes from my drawer. I choose my blue denim shorts and my white top with a cross on it.
After I get changed I take my hair out of its messy bun and let it fall loosely down into little curls. I decide that it looks somewhat presentable and leave it. I apply my normal light make-up, mascara, eyeliner and foundation and then I'm ready to go. I grab my phone and slip it into my pocket.
Me and Charlotte don't talk much while we're getting ready, but it's not uncomfortable. We both go downstairs for breakfast. I follow her into her kitchen. It has grey granite tiles with matching worktops and a big family table in the middle of the room. Her younger sister was sat at the table reading a magazine.
"Hey Izzy." I say poking her in her back whilst walking over to the kettle and boiling it.
"Hey." she replies not looking up from what she was reading.
Charlotte goes into the cereal cupboard and pours two bowls of rice crispies. She places them at the table and sits down. I grab the two cups of tea and sit down beside her.
"So where are we going today?" I break the silence.
"I was thinking the park or something, we could sunbathe cause it looks pretty hot outside."
"Yea ok! Sounds relaxing! A day in the sun on twitter." I clap my hands in approval.
We clear away our plates and cups and head out. Charlotte's parents are out so we leave a note. We walk the small distance to the park. We walk through the trees until we reach the opening that takes us onto a grassy field right next to the lake. We pick a spot and lay on the soft grass.
I lay on my front and pull out my phone, remembering that I had a few messages during the night.
"Your always on that damn phone." Charlotte complains.
"Pfft, your no much better you hypocrite." I reply unlocking my phone.
I open the twitter notifications. I see that I have one new follower from some one direction fan account and a re-tweet from Charlotte. Seems legit.
Next I look at the missed call. It was an unknown number. I ignore it thinking it's just some pathetic prank call.
I open the first message to see that it's from my dad:
Hey, did you have a good night? xxx
I reply:
Yea it was amazing, the best night in a while. Tell you about it later xxx
I press send and then open the final message:
Hello, is this Lauryn?
It was a number that I didn't recognize.
" Charlotte do you know who's number this is?"
"Nope, no idea."
"Should I text back?"
"Yea" she bluntly replies.
I hesitantly reply:
Yea who's this?
I lay down and feel the hot sun on my back and on the back of my legs. Charlotte puts music on, while we lay here in complete relaxation. I feel my phone buzz and I quickly unlock it and open the message.
"Before I tell you, you must not give this number out to anyone else, ok?"
I re-read the message a couple of times. What? Why?
"Hey Charlotte look at this." I pass her the phone.
"I think we should call this person." She replies confidently.
"Alright but your speaking."
I press the call button. It rings a couple of times before I hear a low, raspy familiar voice.
"Hello?"
"Hello who's this?" Charlotte ask down the phone.
"Is this Lauryn?"
"Is this someone from school, because it's really pathetic, I recognize your voice you know, I just dont know who's it is." Charlotte starts ranting down the phone.
"Whoah love, calm down." It was right then that I recognized the voice. I tried to speak but I couldn't, my voice had been stolen. "Its Harry, Harry styles..."
