Intro:

I was sitting on the bench in my backyard trying to think of lyrics. I love to write songs. That is one thing me and Harry had in common. I am Gabi Karmin, an old friend of Harry Styles. I am eighteen now but when me and Harry met, I was only five. I know, you probably wouldn't call it friendship since it was thirteen years ago, but I do. We used to be the so close. We did everything together-bowling, biking, movie theaters, EVERYTHING. Then I had to move to the States because my mum got a new job. I moved when I was twelve years old.

I always try to come up with new lyrics. I have written a lot of songs. Most of them were based on Harry and me. When I started writing I was only seven. Harry always supported me and my dream is to form a band with my best friends Carly and Hayley. They know about Harry but they accept that I don't like to talk about him. I just can't talk about him. I will tear up. I miss him so much. I have to sing about him. It's not like the kind of miss when you miss your parents when you are off to camp, or your favorite teddy bear. It's the kind where all you want to do is see that person again. I would die to see him again. Carly and Hayley are the only ones that know about him. My mum knows that I miss him too. But I was the happiest eighteen year old girl in the world when my mum said we are moving again...but there's a twist. My mum didn't say where we are moving and apparently Hayley and Carly's family are in on it too. Even if we were moving back to England, what if Harry doesn't want to meet back up with me? What if he forgot about me? All of our parents are split up and we only live with our mums'. I have two older sisters and one older brother. I also have a little sister.

This is my family:

Gabriella Marie Karmin- 18(me)

Chase James Karmin- 21(older brother)

Skylar Sian Karmin- 23(older sister)

Catrina Ruth Karmin- 19(older sister)

Maylie Alice Karmin- 12 (younger sister)

Jamie Karmin- 41(Mum)

Gordon Paskle- 43(Dad)

Chapter 1:

"Mum! Just tell me already!" I begged. "No. Now that is the end of that." My mum stated sternly. I sighed. We were at the airport and they called a flight. "Is that us, mum?" I asked after they announced something that I couldn't understand due to my headphones blasting music in my ear. All I heard was a voice on the loud speaker. "Yes. Now let's go before we miss it." She replied, smiling. I walked over to Carly and Hayley, taking out my headphones and putting them in my pocket along with my iPhone. "My mum is bothering me so much! I can't get anything out of her! What about you guys?" I asked. "Nope." "Nothing." They replied, shaking their heads. "Hopeless." I stated, climbing the steps of the plane and plopping into the empty seat next to Hayley and Carly.

The plane ride seemed to go fairly fast as the girls and I talked and looked at magazines, and before I knew it, the lady on the loud speaker was announcing that the flight was ending in 10 minutes.

After we landed, I raced to the exit with Carly and Hayley and once I stepped outside the plane, I screamed and Carly covered my mouth. "OMG! Mum! Mum, where are you?!" I shrieked through Carly's hand. "I'm right here Gabi." I turned around and hugged her tight. "I can't believe you let us move back to England!" I grinned. But she looked confused. "I only came here to pick up your brother. We are moving to California." I started to cry. My mum looked at me and smiled. At that moment I realized that she was joking and I dried my tears quickly. "Gotcha." She said. I hit her playfully on the arm and ran ahead with the girls towards the baggage place.

As soon as we got to our new home, I started unpacking. We got there around 11:00am and I finished unpacking around 1:00pm. I decided to take a walk with Hayl and Carles. We walked for a while, getting them used to England. After a while, we stopped into Nando's for some food. "Best restaurant in town, ladies." I smiled before stepping inside. We sat down and ordered our food. We ate and chatted about where to go next, when the door opened and five guys walked in. One had blond hair with gorgeous blue eyes, one with brown hair and eyes to match. The one standing next to the blond one had black hair with brown eyes. Another had brown hair with cute blue eyes. As I placed my eyes on the last one, I covered my mouth and pointed towards the boys. Carly and Hayley turned around, and their eyes got really big. "That's One Direction, Gabi. What's your prob-" Carly started to say but Hayley nudged her. "It's okay guys. Maybe he won't notice me." I half hoped this was true, and half hoped it wasn't. I am a little scared that if he notices me, that he won't want to hang out like old times. But then I want him to remember me so that we can hang out and catch up on what has been going on for the past six years.

Before I knew what was happening, I saw Harry's eyes get wide and him come running towards me. "Gabi? Gabriella Marie Karmin is that you?" he asked, rather happy. "Harry?" I questioned, "you still remember me?" I wrapped my arms around him and he held me tight. I pulled away and smiled. "When did you get here?" he asked. "Today, actually." I replied. "Cool. So who are your friends?" Harry asked, looking at the two girls positioned across the table from me. "These are my best friends Hayley and Carly." I said, motioning toward them as I said their names. "Well hello there." He said, hugging each of them. "I'm Harry." "Yeah. Gabi talks about you-" I cut her off. "Yeah. So these are my friends." Harry laughed. His friends came over. "Hey Harry. Who's the beautiful lady you got yourself here?" the blonde one asked. "Back off, Blondie." Harry said playfully.

"I'm Gabriella. But you can call me Gabi." I said, turning to the blonde boy. "That's a really pretty name, Gabi. I am Niall, by the way." He smiled. "Nice to meet you, Niall." I outstretched my hand, but he just stared at it. "Something wrong?" I asked. "Well, normally we give hugs and not hand-"He was cut off by the boy with the matching hair and eyes. "Oh give the girl a break, Niall-" but I cut him off. "It's okay, really. I don't mind." I stood up and hugged Niall, followed by the rest of the boys.

"I'm Liam" said the boy with the matching hair and eyes.

"I'm Zayn" said the quiet boy with black hair.

"AND I'M LOU!!!!" shouted the boy with brown hair and blue eyes. I chuckled. But the lady at the counter didn't find it too amusing. She glared at us and I laughed again.

Harry asked me if I wanted to go to their house, and I looked at the girls', and they nodded. "I would love to." I looked at Harry and then back at Hayley and Carly. They smiled and I said, "Will you guys tell my mum where I am please? I don't want her blowing up my phone." "No problem." They started to walk out of the door when Liam spoke up. "Hey, Hayley, Carly! Do you want to come too?" he asked. Their faces lit up like the sky on the Fourth of July. "Sure." Hayley said casually. Her back-up job is being an actress. "Alright girls, we best be going. Do you want us to stop so that you can tell you mums'?" asked Harry. "Yes please Styles." I fluttered my eyelashes innocently. Niall and Harry laughed hysterically. "C'mon." I said, leading Harry towards the door. "TO YOUR HOUSE!" I yelled, attracting some attention. "YOUR'S FIRST!!" he yelled in response. I laughed and looked back to see if the rest of the group was still behind us. They were running after us, laughing too.

The next thing I knew, I was being picked up bridal-style and lifted up into an open-hooded Jeep. "Harry Edward Styles!" I said in between breaths. "Yes, Gabriella Marie Karmin?" He asked with that cheeky smile that I loved so much. I looked into his eyes and he put me down. Harry leaned in for a hug. We hugged and then Louie interrupted. "Hey! Out the way, love birds!" I released and Harry just smirked and grabbed my hand. We arrived at my house and Harry went in with Hayley, Carly, and I. "Mum?" I called as we walked through the living room, still not used to the new house yet. "In here!" I heard my mum reply from in the kitchen. "There you are. I wanted to know if it was okay if us girls hung out at Harry's place for a while?" I asked, half scared of what she would say. "Yes. Go ahead. Be home before 10:00pm." My mum smiled. She glanced at Harry and then went back to putting things away in cupboard. "Thanks! See ya!" I skipped out the door.

But when I got there, the boys were gone and so were Hayley and Carly. "Hayley? Carly? Harry?" I asked, but there was no answer. I ran back in the house and found all 7 of them in the kitchen talking to our mum's. Harry was talking. "...at Nando's and saw her. We talked, introduced the boys, then came here." He finished. "Oh yeah. This is Niall, Liam, Zayn, and Louie." He pointed out the boys. "Do you have any carrots?" Louie asked, and I cracked up. Louie spun around and looked at me. He raised his eyebrows. "What?" I asked. "Do you have any carrots?" he repeated. "They are in the fridge." I replied. As he walked across the kitchen to do so, my mum looked at me and said, "giving away our carrots now, aye?" I giggled and walked out.
