Chapter 1
I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating on my bed side table. I turned the alarm to snooze and went back into a deep sleep. Once I had finally gotten up I went into the bathroom and splashed my face with water when suddenly my phone rang. I quickly dried my hands and ran back into my room and picked up the phone. It was my best friend Niamh. She asked me if I wanted to go into the town for a coffee and a chitchat so I said yes even though I didn't feel like talking.
I arrived in town after a very busy train ride. I said to Niamh that I would meet her outside Starbucks. Once again I was first there but not long after, she came round the corner. She was wearing a sparkly T-shirt with black jeans, a black leather jacket and her fabulous high heel boots that I bought her for her birthday. My mouth dropped when I saw her. She looked about 22 when really she is only 16. We said hello to each other and we walked into Starbucks. Niamh doesn't like coffee so she got a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. I got a hazelnut latte and we sat down in one of the booth chairs. "So how have you been" Niamh asked. Well considering my mum and dad have just split up and my gran has just died "I'm fine" I said because I didn't like showing my true emotions but Niamh knew something wasn't right. "You do know you can tell me anything" she said. I explained what has happened over the last couple of weeks and she stood up and walked towards me and gave me a massive hug which brought on the tears.
After we spoke about all the depressing stuff about me we decided to talk about something else. "Well..." Niamh said trying not to change the subject too quickly "I have met someone and he is really hot and oh my god I just love him" she said very quickly almost so quickly that I couldn't make out what she said. "But promise you won't be mad" which made me very suspicious but I promised anyway because I am a good friend "Well... I met him online"
"What?" I said, shocked at the fact that I had told her it was dangerous.
"Well..."
"Stop saying well!" I said interrupting her.
"Okay! His name is Lucas and we have been speaking online for about 2 months. He is 16 and he lives in Glasgow, near here actually"
"Don't tell me you dragged me into town so you can meet him because that is the stupidest idea ever!!!"
"Well that was kinda the idea"
" I am NOT going" I stood up and was about to leave when she dragged me back.
"I know you are going through a hard time right now but can you just do this one thing for me, please?"
I turned round and give her a massive hug, squeezing her so hard that she can't breathe.
"I just want you to stay safe okay?" I said feeling the tears filling up my eyes.
"Awww babe are you okay?"
I nod my head, not wanting to speak because of the lump in my throat. We walk out if Starbucks and walk towards the Donald Dewar statue where she is meeting Lucas. She doesn't realise just how dangerous this could be.

Chapter 2
We link arms as we walk to meet "Lucas". As we got closer there is a young boy standing next to the statue. He has dark hair which swoops over his face and he is wearing a tshirt, a leather jacket, black trousers and vans. He looks just like Niamh except he has dark hair. The closer we get the more terrified I am. I look at Niamh in a certain way to try and say "this is not a good idea" but she has her eyes focused on him.
"Hi you must be Niamh" he say looking at me.
"Ehh no I'm Louise, she is Niamh"
"Oh my god I'm so sorry" he looks at Niamh and kisses her hand. Niamh's face is as pink as her lip stick now.
"So were do you want to go?" He asks.
I was thinking about McDonalds but I didn't want to seem fat. Niamh and Lucas walked side by side talking about what the are interested in and all that relationship shit. I tail behind and just follow them , occasionally stopping to look in shop windows and thinking how beautiful I would look in a maxi dress (That's the fashion just now) . We end up in McDonalds after all and I sit at a table all by myself because I knew Niamh would want some private chatty time.
After we had finished , and I had licked the salty goodness off of my lips, Lucas asked if we wanted to go and have a nice stroll in a park near by.
"Yeah sure brah" Niamh said in her usual, casual way. I didn't feel to comfortable about this. The only reason I decided to go was because if anything happened to Niamh I would feel guilty for not being there for her. We walked for about 1 hour and I could not see a park anywhere. This is when I began to imagine the worst.
