*London Day*
Olivia's POV,

I can't believe it, who knew that today was the day I'd be travelling to London. I'm the happiest girl alive right now. I packed my bags ready for my long trip last night so I have a few hours to get ready. I won't be needing to travel in fancy clothes will I? No. So I decided to put on a white knitted jumper and paired it with some black ripped jeans. After all it's the uk, we don't exactly get warm weather.

My phone pinged which meant I had a message, i looked and I seen it was from JJ, it said 'leaving now, be at yours in 5

My phone pinged which meant I had a message, i looked and I seen it was from JJ, it said 'leaving now, be at yours in 5.'

I heard a knocking at my door, I knew it was JJ, I went down stairs and opened the door and welcomed him in my house.

"Hey JJ, come in."

"So you ready for the journey?" He said as he stepped into my house.

"I'm hyped. I'm genuinely so excited for this and to meet new people."

"I hope you don't mind staying with the rest of the lads, I promise you they're cool guys." JJ giggled.

"It's going to be fun, I can't wait to meet them."

"Okay, are you ready? Because I have an uber waiting outside." JJ asked.

"Oh yeah, I'm ready. My suitcase is in the hall, one second."

"Don't worry, I'll get it." JJ demanded.

"Liv, you have a picture on top of your suitcase, are you bringing that with you or leaving it here?"

"Eh, yeah I'm bringing it with me, please could you pass it here." I said quietly.

"Sure, who is it? If you don't mind me asking."

"Uh, i.." i said, trying to hold back the tears.

I turned round and headed out the door towards the uber. I got in and just sat in silence, staring out the window. I then heard a door slam shut signifying JJ had left my house, I could hear my suitcase being dragged across the floor until he put it in the boot. He got in the back of the car and just looked at me sympathetically. But i didn't want to show him I was upset so I just smiled.

JJ's POV;

When I asked her about the woman on the picture, she just walked out of the house. I felt bad for asking, really bad. I went to the uber and placed her suitcase in the boot, and got in the back of the car, I just looked at her, I felt sorry for her. She seemed really upset, but she tried to hide it with a smile, her contagious smile.

"Sup boss, Manchester train station please."

"Sure thing." The man replied.

I decided to message Olivia even though I was sat right next to her, I thought if something was wrong she wouldn't want to say it aloud.

You okay Liv?x

Livvy;) - yeah, I'm fine

I looked to her and seen a tear rolling down her cheek, she really wasn't fine. She tried to hide the fact she was crying by turning away from me and I found it very obvious, nice try, Liv. I'll just ask her on the train where it's more private.

"Here we are guys, do you need help with your bags?"

"No, I've got it boss, thanks. How much?"

"£3.50"

"Cheers."

Me and Olivia got out of the car and went to get our suitcases, we then went to collect our tickets from the booth, and we got there on time because the train had just arrived. I notified Liv that this was our train and we were in the private section at the back. We got on and thankfully no-one was in the back so I had chance to speak to her, we sat on a table seat and began to talk.

"So, please tell me what's wrong." I said as I moved to sit next to her.

"I.."

she could barely get her words out and she just started crying in my shoulder. I feel so useless. I just caressed her arm and told her it was okay and she can talk whenever she wants. After that Liv fell asleep in my arms after soothing her.
I began to think on what was wrong with her and it finally clicked, I ain't jumping to conclusions though. I looked down to her and she looked so peaceful. She's so beautiful, I've known her a few days and I'm already starting to think I may like her, or we could just become best friends.
Olivia woke up after an hour of sleeping and she looked up to me and said 'I feel as if I can trust you and I want to tell you my story." I just let her speak.

"Erm, so I forgot I left that on my case, sorry. Eh by the way it is a picture of my mum, she died when I was 15. It's been a real struggle because I haven't had my dad around, he never really bothered with me and my sister ever since we were little so we were fostered, life has been really tough and I know I probably look like someone who has the perfect life, but trust me I don't, me and my sister have gotten through it all, it still breaks my heart whenever I see a picture of her but I guess God only takes the best ones and she will always be in my heart forever, I take this picture with me everywhere and I also have a picture of her in my locket. My sister lives with me but she is on holiday with her boyfriend right now so she isn't home. So when you asked for me to come to London with you, it was a real relief, I hate staying by myself. So thankyou for that."

I was speechless, I can't imagine what she has been through, I can't imagine my life without my parents and for her to grow up without any must have been hard, bless her. I just hope she knows that once she gets to London and meets everyone, we will treat her like a real family.

"I'm so so sorry. I didn't realise. Sorry. You and your sister are so strong, just know that now you have me and I won't leave you. We're going to be amazing friends and when you meet the others they are going to love you, I promise. How long is your sister away for?"

"Thankyou, Jide. I really appreciate it, and she is away for about 3 weeks. She's in Australia. Her boyfriend lives there."

"Well, if you want you can stay with me for 3 weeks so you aren't lonely, I will make sure it's the best 3 weeks of your life."

"I would honestly love that, but what about the others?" She asked.

"Don't worry about the others, I've already told them you're coming to stay, they don't know you're a youtuber though, so this will be interesting, also fancy that collab when we get back?"

"Of course, thankyou."

Olivia's POV;

I am honestly so thankful for how JJ reacted. Usually people would think I'm not normal and leave straight away, I'm used to that. But what if he does leave? These past few days have been the best and I will never forget them, but I've told him everything, it wouldn't surprise me if he did leave and for the others to think I'm weird. Ugh why Liv, think positive please. I guess we will just have to wait and see.

"JJ, can I ask you a question?" I asked.

"Sure." He replied.

"Can you sing? I mean I know you can rap, but what about singing?"

"I sing, but I ain't very good, I prefer to rap, what about you, do you rap?"

"I rap a little, I can't freestyle though."

"Hmm, video ideas;)"

"What on earth are you planning JJ."

"I ain't telling you, yet."

"Okay, whatever you say. Are we nearly there?"

"About 20 minutes left."

I'm so nervous.
