Lillie Dent isn't a popular girl nor is she a loner she is a girl who keeps to herself, when her friends persuade her to go to a summer festival her life changes in an instant when she meets Simon.
"Lillie can you stand here please?" The photographer called to me, I finished my makeup up and stood in front of a very artsy background and posed this was now my job, I was a model and a singer living in America this was now my life and I was living every single moment of it. "Okay everyone we're done here, thank you Lillie amazing as per usual." The photographer smiled at me and I smiled back, I changed into my normal clothes and grabbed my phone and walked with my assistant to the car that was taking us back to the office. "Lauren do I have any other shoots that I need to do in the next two weeks?" I asked her "Actually Lillie you are free for another three weeks why are you asking?" "Because in going home, back to England to see my friends for the holidays." I smiled at her, Lauren wasn't just my agent and assistant she was also my best friend we both started from nothing and now she had made me one of the most successful models in the world and I owe everything to her for making they happen for me. "That sounds nice." She smiled. "What are you doing for Christmas Lauren?" I asked her "Nothing, really probably just find more things for you too do." "No Christmas is for being with family and friends, I don't want you working at all on Christmas you are going to come back to England with me and relax." "Really? Thank you so much Lillie." "No problem, now let's get everything packed from my house then we can go to yours and get the first plane back to England." I smiled brightly at her. When we packed all of our things we got a taxi to the airport so we could fly back to England.
England 🇬🇧
"Where are we going to stay Lillie?" Lauren asked me "Well I still have my old flat so we can stay there, it's in the centre of London and close to all of my friends houses so after we get unpacked we can go and see them if you want to?" I asked her "Yeah that would be great." She smiled "I think it's important that you meet my friends from home." "Yeah of course." I laughed a little at Lauren because I could tell that she was so excited to be in London and meet all of my friends. We got a cab from the airport to my flat and that didn't take very long to get there luckily I still had the key so I walked straight in. "There is a spare room up the stairs and it's the second door on the left you can stay in there, it maybe a bit small but this was all I could afford two years ago." "I don't mind." She replied, we both went upstairs and I went into my old room and unpacked everything then got changed into some nicer clothes.

I wrapped up warm as I remembered how cold it got in London in the winter, "Are you ready Lauren?" I shouted "Yeah ready." She replied as she walked out of her room and came into mine "Right lets go then." I smiled as we walked out of the house, I was excited to be back home and see everyone again it had been so long. "I just want to make a quick trip to a cafe quickly before we go and see the others." I said as we walked down the street and when we came to Allisons cafe I smiled brightly and walked in the bell on top of the door rang and it bought back so many old memories of this place that I missed so much. "Sorry we're closed." Allison said "What even for me?" I asked, and then Allison raised her head and smiled at me, Allison was like a second mum to me I loved her so much I gave her a hug and we sat down and talked for ages catching up on everything that had happened over the past couple of years.
"Look at you, a model." She smiled "Yep and to think this is where it all started in this little cafe." "Oh I bet you hated working here." "No I loved it, this job was one of the best jobs I have ever had it even comes on top of modelling" I smiled and so did Lauren. "You know Lillie would always talk about you Allison every time we went out for a drink she would make a comment saying that no ones food would ever come close to yours." Lauren smiled at Allison. "So how is the cafe doing?" I asked her "Not well, we get the occasional customer but not like we used to ever since that new modern cafe opened up across the road it hasn't been the same." She sighed, it made me feel sad because this cafe meant the world to me and hearing that it wasn't doing as well as it used to broke my heart. "I'm so sorry Allison, but don't give in just yet I may be able to help you, tomorrow I'll come back and I'll work here with you again just like before." "Really?" Allison asked "Of course." I smiled at her.

"So where to now?" Lauren asked "To see my friends." I said excitedly we took a walk and I went to Alex's house to surprise her, I knocked on the door in hope that she still lived here, I then heard it unlock and Alex was shocked to see me she hugged me tightly and smiled brightly at me as she let Lauren and I inside. "What are doing here?" She asked "To come and see you all of course, and to spend the holidays with you before I forget Alex this Is Lauren my agent/ Assistant/ friend." I smiled, Alex smiled at Lauren and they shook hands "Right well I better ring everyone else." Alex said as she got out her phone. Twenty minutes passed and all the girls were here I embraced them all with a hug and a smile and introduced them to Lauren, the door opened again and in walked Ethan, JJ, Josh, Tobi, Harry and Vikk I ran up to them all and hugged them tightly JJ picked me up and spun me around as me and him were close we met up in America when he made his film with his friend Caspar and we hung out the whole time he was there.
"We can all spend the holidays together." Vikk said excitedly "Yep that's the plan, that's why I came home to see you all and spend the holidays with you." I smiled "Great." Josh smiled at me, I couldn't help but notice that there was one person missing from Alex's house and that was Simon but I didn't pay much attention to it. "So which one of the two groups are dating?" I asked "Um Harry and Alex, Tobi and Poppy and Ethan and Kara Georgie is dating a guy called Charlie who she met at work." Josh answered my question. We all stayed at Alex's till quite late then Lauren and I decided to leave and go back to my flat. We said goodbye to everyone and left the house, just as we were walking down the street I bumped into someone "Sorry." I said "It's okay." And the voice that I had heard was the very same voice that was tattooed onto my brain exactly like it was two years ago. "Simon?" I asked "Lillie?" He replied we walked closer to each other when I saw his face I laughed a little. "What?" He asked "You haven't changed one bit." "You have 'Miss model and singer''" I smiled at him, I handed Lauren the keys to the flat and she went home whereas I stayed and talked to Simon.
"How have you been?" I asked him "Good, channel is doing good." "Yeah I saw just over five and a half million subscribers, impressive." "You watch my videos?" He sounded surprised "Course I do." I smiled "So are you seeing anyone like the others are?" I asked, I couldn't help myself I needed to know If he was or not "No I'm single" he replied "Same there hasn't really been anyone, well I mean there has but nothing serious." I said slowly "Same there been people but nothing serious." He said slowly as well "Well it's been nice to see you again Simon, we should hang out during the holidays, you know if you want to that is." "Y-yeah I would love to, still the same number?" He asked "Yeah still the same." I smiled as I said goodbye and walked back to my flat to see Lauren, she was sitting on the sofa watching TV I went and sat with her "Who was that?" She asked "Just an old friend." I smiled to myself as I replied to Lauren.
