"Louis you must come here as quick as possible! We have some great news!" My mum says over the phone and I huff in annoyance. Just when I was starting to make tea. I tell her that I'll come soon and I hang up the phone, throwing on my shoes and just leaving the tea there.

I quickly run to the car and get in, before driving off, knowing that if I don't hurry up, my mum is going to start yelling at me.

Of course, I am somewhat interested in what she has to say because she did seem very excited and it's not often that that happens.

I eventually make it to the driveway of our house, pulling in before leaving the car and walking to the front door.

I knock on the door as it swings open almost immediately, revealing my very happy looking mum. She pulls me into a big hug.

"I'm so proud of you!" She says and I step back away from her in confusion. I mean, she should state what happened before she says something like that. "We got a letter from UCL. They said you got into medicine there."

My mouth drops at what she said. I got into medicine? Of all people? I didn't even think that I did any good in Biology this year and I got into medicine in one of the best universities in London.

There has to be some mix up in the mail.

I take the paper from my mum's hand and read who it's addressed to, but my name is plastered on the top so this is obviously my invitation.

Truth is, it's always been my parent's dream that I become a doctor. I've never hated the idea but I didn't think I would particularly keep it as first priority because, 1, it's too hard to get into a course, and 2, I've always wanted to be a drama teacher.

"Well, we decided we'd confirm with you before accepting the invitation. You do want to go right?" Mum asks and I nod. "Ok it's settled! I can't believe this! Last year we didn't even think you'd go to college and now this!" My mum says and I don't have the heart to tell her that I'd rather be a teacher.

She looks so happy and proud. I've never seen her like this for at least 3 or 4 years now.

I smile at her, before turning around to leave.

"Where are you going?" She asks.

"Uh, back home. Need to settle in I guess." I lie. Truth is, I just need to sit down and process all this new information before coming back. Also, I'm not prepared to face Dad again after what he did last time we met.

"Uh ok. You should come over soon though. Your sisters didn't even get to greet you a proper goodbye before you left. Call me when you have then time." Mum says and I nod.

"See ya mum."

"Bye Darling!" I say before I shut the door and leave to go back home.

I am awoken from my afternoon nap by the ringing of my phone. I rub my eyes before answering it.

"Hello?"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!" A squeal rings through my ear into the phone. "Louis! Louis! Louis! Guess what?!" I now recognise it as Harry.

I hang up the phone because I cannot listen to him squealing in my ear.

You: Harry how the fuck do you make your voice that high if you talk so deep?
