AUTHORS NOTE!

Hi guys! So this book has been a work in progress, please comment and point out any errors... hence, work in progress. I thought before I started writing I would introduce you to the characters, and who is playing them...

Jack Harries- Jack Harries

Finn Harries- Finn Harries

Grace Taylor- Nina Debrov

Naomi Campbell- Candice Swanepoel

Any other characters added into the story later on I will most likely leave another authors note clarifying who they are played by. I also will be using a lot of youtubers in this story, so I feel like they should be self explanitory:) And comment if you want me to include the playlists in an authors note before each chapter because I like to listen to music while I write. And if the story reminds you of any songs... please comment them and I'll check them out! Love You All!

"Hi there. I am making a rather special video for you all today. A lot of you have been asking me... Jack who is that girl on your Instagram? Jack why do you always have that girl with you in everyones vlogs? Jack do you have a girlfriend?" I planned on editing it to show all the twitter mentions like these all over the screen.

"Well youtube. The wait is over, and I brought a very cool person to Jacksgap to answer those questions for you..." I looked away from the camera and gestured towards the nervous girl to sit next to me in my office chair.

"Youtube... Grace. Grace... Youtube." I gestured between the camera and her and she shyly waved.

"Since Grace is so important I decided to interview her. So I call this Very Important Interview, staring Grace." She giggled and I grabbed a notepad off my desk and read the questions I wrote down to her.

"Whats your favorite color?"

"Yellow."

"Why?"

"Because its happy and sunny I guess..." I made a face at her and she released an adorable giggle.

"Why do you think im so funny?"

"umm, you're not?" I gave her a look like I was shocked and she giggled again.

"Whats your favorite book?"

"I dont read books."

"Why?"

"Because it takes to long to read them..."

"Why?"

"I dont know Jack!" She laughed and I pretended to write something down on my notepad.

"Favorite Band?"

"5 seconds of summer..." She smiled.

"Not One Direction!" I gasped and she shook her head.

"Get out!" I pushed the chair out of the screen.

"Wait Gray! Dont leave me!" I exagerated and pulled her back into the view of the lense.

"Your lucky I like you enough that I can sort our diffrences." She giggled and I stuck my toung out at her.

"Chocolate or Vanilla?"

"Chocolate."

"Tacos or Pizza?"

"Pizza."

"Jack or Finn?"

"Finn." I frowned at her and she smirked at me.

"You asked for it!" I began to tickle at her sides and she erupted into laughter.

"Fine! I meant to say Jack! I like Jack better!" I let her go and went back to my notepad.

"Do you like Doctor Who?"

"Who doesnt like doctor who?" She giggled and I smiled.

"Okay last and final question..." She waited for it and I put down my notepad then put my hand on my chin.

"Are you dating the very handsome, very talented, best unicycling ukelele player in the world. The one the only... Jack Harries?"

"Ummmmm..." She looked around and I started to get closer to her.

"No pressure." I smirked and she smiled.

"Yes. Yes I am." I smiled and wrapped my arm around her shoulder.

"There you have it ladies and Gentleman. I am dating the lovely Grace. Ill see you later!" With that I clicked off the camera and hooked it up to my desktop.

"Do you think that they will like me?" Grace asked, resting her head on my shoulder.

"I'm sure that they will love you."

My eyes fluttered open and I lay in my bed. Alone, in my dark room. I reached out to find nobody beside me. There was no Grace. She was just a memory now. I still couldn't get used to not being with her. Every thing reminded me of her. I couldn't even escape her in my dreams anymore. She haunted my memorys. I glanced over to my alarm clock and knew I needed to get up and get to campus.

When I pulled the covers off of my body, the cold air made my muscles stiffen. I walked slowly into the shower and let the scolding hot water burn the bitter sweet dream from my mind. I ran soap through my hair and then turned the water off and wrapped a towel around my waist. Today wasn't a day where I wanted to try. I hadn't tried to look half decent for the last two weeks. There was no point. I grabbed a beanie and some clothes then ran out the door.

When I pulled into my spot at university the sun was covered by clouds, no light was shining down and the air was bitter and cold. I got out of my car and made my way to the english building. Normally I would have stopped to talk to Marcus and Finn, but I just wasn't up for it. I hadn't really talked to anyone in weeks. It was to hard, I couldn't talk without talking about her. Losing her. I didn't want to burden my friends by talking about Grace. It was just awkward. She still talked to them, so I didn't want to seem desperate to them. But feeling desperate was probably better than feeling dead. My train of thought was interrupted as I bumped into something, actually not something... someone.

"Shit." I looked down to see a blonde haired girl laying on the ground surrounded by papers soaked in coffee that she must have spilt on them when she fell. She kept on repeating the words as she tried to save the smearing ink from the coffee.

"I'm so sorry." I bent down and started to help her gather her stuff.

"Do you know how long it took me to write that essay?" She finally had given up on trying to salvage the destroyed papers.

"I am so so so sorry." I looked at her and finally took in her beauty. Her blonde hair fell in perfect curls, framing her face. And her blue eyes were sparkling under the fluorescent lighting.

"Let me buy you a new coffee." She scoffed and took my hand that I had offered to help her up.

"Youre gonna have to buy me a lot more than just a coffee to make up for this." I chuckled and we walked twords the campus media center where they sold coffee in the mornings.

"I'm Jack by the way..." I said grabbing our coffee from the old lady at the front desk and grabbing us a table in the back corner by the non fiction novels.

"Naomi..." She mumbled grabbing her coffee and walking to the door.

"Wait Naomi, where are you going?" I asked getting up to chase after her.

"Ummm, my Marketing class?" She laughed walking to the classroom.

"You didnt even let me get your number!" I laughed and yelled after her as she made graceful yet pretentious strides to the door.

"I have a feeling you will see me again soon Jack." She winked at me, and with that she was gone. And I wouldent forget her anytime soon.
