Dan. That's the name I've been stuck with on my wrist for years. Everyone's already found their 'partner', everyone's already gotten married, had kids, gotten good jobs. But then there's me.
My mum always said, 'If you can't find love, it will find you' But, I find that to be really dumb. I've been looking for FOUR YEARS! "Carrie! You need to hurry up!" I said, standing at the bottom of the stairs.
"Alright, alright!" She said, running down the stairs and grabbing her rucksack. "The train is literally leaving in ten minutes and Chris and Pj are waiting for us!" I said as we headed out the door, getting in my car to leave for the train station.
***********************************
We luckily made it to the train station and made it down to Brighton. "Pj! Chris! It's so nice to see you again!" I said, running up to them and hugging them both. But my smile soon faltered as I looked down at the white lacy letters on their wrists. (A/N: KickTheStickz for life m8)
"Don't worry, Amelia. You'll find this 'Dan person' at some point, whether it's when you're 22 or 50." Chris said, but I did NOT want to find my love when I'm 50. "Why is my life so difficult! I mean you, Pj, and Carrie have already found your partners!" I said looking at the names in white on their wrists.
"Maybe you aren't looking hard enough, Amelia..." Carrie said quietly, not waning to anger me anymore. "I just want to be happy..." I said in a barely audible whisper. But, Pj clearly heard it as he said, "Come on guys! We met up so we could have fun!" Carrie grabbed my hand and we quickly ran to a taxi, going back to Chris and Pj's place.
***********************************
"Alright! Welcome to the KickTheStickz flat!" Chris said as we entered the flat. The house was very colorful, but had One Direction posters everywhere which covered the blue walls. "You know, I like One Direction too, but not enough to put posters of them everywhere in my house!" I said, laughing. Chris defended himself by saying, "Are you saying you don't like waking up to Harry's face every morning?" I shook my head and chuckled, after our argument we decided to just sit around and watch Netflix.
"You know guys, I can't remember the last time we ever just hung out like this..." Carrie said, it was currently 8 PM and we were just sitting around eating greasy pizza watching Netflix without planning to stop anytime soon.
"Guys, I think I'm gonna go get changed..." I said as I picked up my rucksack and went into the bathroom, trying to take out my clothes without spilling the other contents of my bag out seeing as I packed all my clothes first. I quickly changed and took out my contact lenses and putting on my glasses, going back into the lounge.

Dan' POV
Amelia. That name has been going through my mind for years, I've been searching everywhere for her but no luck. "Dan! Dan!" Someone said, shaking my shoulder lightly. It was Phil, "Come on, Dan. You have to stop thinking about her all the time..." I know that I was being ridiculous. But literally everyone else has found their 'true love' and I'm so close to giving up....
"You'll find her some day, Dan. So just stop worrying all the time..." Phil said, leaving the flat. I quickly followed behind him, "But what if I don't, Phil! What if I just grow sad and alone!" Phil turned around and showed me the black ink on his pale wrist.
"You don't think I don't know how you feel. I haven't found my 'true love' yet but you don't see me moping around all the time..." I nodded and shut my mouth, following behind him into the taxi. Some day.
But how soon is someday? Is it tommorow? Next month? Next year? "Dan, stop talking to yourself..." Phil said, looking out the window. I just sighed and rested my head against the window on my side of the taxi.

Carrie's POV
Amelia came back from the bathroom, still looking at her wrist. I felt bad for her, she's been waiting all her life to find this guy and she still hasn't. She sat back down next to me and sighed, signaling that she was fine. But I knew her too well and I knew she wasn't okay, not one bit.
(Teeny Weeny Time Skip)
Everyone was passed out on the couch. Everyone except Amelia. I searched through the house until I heard quiet sobs coming from the bathroom, I opened the door to find a tear-faced Amelia on the floor. She saw me and just sobbed harder.
"Listen Amelia, I know you're upset but you will find him at some point! So just stop worrying about him and go spend some time with your friends!" I said, making her smile. She just nodded and wiped her remaining years away, following me out of the bathroom. I wasn't going to let one boy ruin our trip.
I watched as Amelia got under the blanket that Chris and Pj provided as she slowly drifted off to sleep. I soon fell asleep after her, starting to think about this 'Dan' character myself. Why wouldn't he come looking for her? Why wouldn't he want to come and find her?
I couldn't stop thinking about this, so I decided to go outside to clear my head from all of this. I quietly opened the door and went outside, just walking around the building. I was about to go into the building when someone bumped into me.
He was very tall and had a haircut that any stereotypical emo guy would have. He also had very cool brown eyes. "Oh, sorry." He said, walking past me. I decided to just shake it off and go back inside. But there was something interesting about him, his wrist still had the black ink on it but I couldn't see the name. Oh well.

A/N:
Hello Guys! Yes, I know I haven't updated my other story in a while. But, I really haven't been feeling very happy about the whole story its self. I wrote it before I got the basic grasp on how to write a story that I was proud of. So basically what I might do is unpublish(is that a word?)it and just redo all of it👌🏻. Anyways I hope you enjoyed the first chapter, I actually had a lot of fun writing it! Also, this idea came from an imagine I read and I would really like to credit the author but I can't find them. If you are the author or know who it is please let me know so I can credit them, because It definitely didn't come up with this myself.
~Em✌🏻️😜
