The Story Of My Life

Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The Lie

Amber's POV:

        Just another day. Sigh. Like any other Monday... School. Why is there even a place called 'school'? All we do is learn. Which, in my opinion, is BORING!
        Let me introduce myself... My name is Amber. Amber Renee Styles. My brother, Harry Styles, is on the Xfactor. I don't get to see him that much. Louis, my sexy boyfriend, sees him more than I do because Louis' on the XFactor too.        
        Every other week Louis comes to school, so I get to spend time with him. Harry, on the other hand, hasn't been home in 4 years straight!
        I'm 16 now, I was 12 when he left. I miss him so much, but I know he'll be home someday... Someday soon.

        "Amber! It's almost 7! Louis will be here any minute! Hurry up!" My mother exclaims snapping me out of my thoughts. I turn to the clock to see that it is, indeed, almost 7 am!
        "Okay, mom! I'll be right there!" I run to the bathroom and put my hair in a messy bun.

        The door bell rang...

        "Amber! Louis' here!!! What's takin' so long?!?!!!"
        "Sorry, mom!" I put my phone in my bag and run downstairs to find Louis standing there with a rose in his hands. "Hey, sexy." I run into his arms.
        "Hey, beautiful!" He hugs me back, then hands me the rose.
        I do only one thing. Kiss him. I forgot where I was until my mom had to ruin the moment! Ugh.
        "Amber! Louis! EARTH TO THE COUPLE EATING EACH OTHER'S FACES OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM!"
        Louis and I suddenly pull away. "Sorry, mom.." I feel so embarrassed.
        "We should.. Probably go..." Louis says shyly. A blush creeps up on his face.
        "Aw. Is wittle Louis blushing?" I say in a baby voice.
        "Whaaaaaat? No! Let's just go!" He says.
        "Not until you admit you were blushing!" I give him a look and cross my arms.
        "We're going to be late!" He gets closer to my face.
        "Since when do you care about school?"
        "Since now. Let's go!" He leaves the house without saying another word.

        I wonder what happened to him. There's only one way to find out... I walk outside to find Louis already in his car. I open the door and get inside. "Is there something bothering you?" I ask concerned.
        "No. Why would you think that?"
        "You caring about school, you blushing when we kissed... What happened last week?"
        "Uh, nothing... Oh, look! We're here! Well, I'll see you later! Gotta talk to one of my teachers! Bye!" And just like that... He's gone...
        Something happened... But what? ... .... ......... I don't know. But I'm going to find out what happened to Louis...

        I walk to my locker paying no attention to everyone staring straight at me... Wait a minute... I turn around to see everyone and I mean EVERYONE, including some of the teachers, staring at me. Uh oh. This can't be good, but what did I do?
        Someone yells, "Hey! Amber!" in a cheerful voice. That voice sounds very familar... I turn around and see the one person I thought I would NEVER see again...
        Harry Styles was leaning against my locker. I run into his arms and hug him tightly. "Harry!!! You're home! You're home!"
        He chuckles, "Technically, I'm at school..."
        "Yeah, yeah... I don't care! I just care that you're here! I've missed you SO much! I have SO much to tell you after 4 years"
        "Yeah, um, Amber... I have something to tell you... Something important..." He turns serious.
        "Yeah, sure, anything." Uh oh.
        He takes a long pause and finally says, "Louis and I... Well..." His frown turns into a smile. "WE WON! ON THE XFACTOR! They want us both to come back next season!"
        "OMG! Harry, that's amazing!"
        "Yeah, I know!"
        My smile fades. "Wait, that means you're gonna be gone again?" Tears start to form in my eyes.
        "No, no. Don't. Don't cry. Please don't cry." He tries to hug me.
        I push him away. "NO!" I run. As fast as I can. I run...
        "Amber! Wait!"
        I ignore him and keep running. I run out the front door of the school. I keep running until I bump into someone.
        "Oh, sorry." I didn't look up at him.
        "It's okay." The boy says in a soft voice.
        I do the stupidest thing EVER! I look at him... The boy has blonde hair, bright blue eyes, a cute smile, and he's very tall. And... He's kinda hot...
        Wait... Did I just say?...
        "Yeah... Ya did..."
        I feel a blush creeping up on my face.
        He chuckles, "Hey, it's okay."
        Damn! I thought out loud again!
        "You still are." He says.
        "Damn it!" I look up into his blue eyes. "Sorry..."
        "Don't worry 'bout it." He smiles a charming smile.

        Finally, I think INSIDE my head... 'Damn, he's hot! But he can't be mine. I have Louis... Great! What am I gonna do?'
        I get snapped back to reality when he waves his hand in front of my face. I blink. "Uh... Sorry..." I say shyly. Great. Now he'll ask... Or not. Who knows..?
        "No. It's cool. My name's Niall. Niall James Horan."
        "Hey, weren't you on..-?"
        "The XFactor? Yep! That's me!"
        "My brother and/ or my boyfriend might know you."
        "Oh, really? What's your full name?"
        "Amber Renee Styles."
        "Is Harry your brother?"
        "Yeah."
        "Yeah, I know him. Who's your boyfriend?"
        "Louis Tomlinson..."
        "Oh, ya! I competed against him. He and Harry were pretty upset when my buddies and I won."
        "Wait... What?" I get concerned.
        "Oh, Harry didn't tell you? Yeah. They lost the XFactor. That's why Harry came back."
