Let Me Fix You (Hayes Grier)

chapter 1

Laurens POV

"Lauren, come down here we need to talk to u for a second." I heard my mom call me from the kitchen.

I could feel my stomach tighten up because my parents never needed to talk to me unless something bad happened. Dispite what i felt i did what they said and went down stairs. As i took my seat in the kitchen i saw my sister down here too, that was a good sign because it meant i wasnt going to be the only one in trouble. My sister and i sat there silently as my dad began to speak.

"Rachel, Lauren we need to tell you something important." My dad said in a shaky tone.

"We are moving to moorseville North Carolina on friday and we need you to start packing."

"You can't just tell us 3 days before we are moving to just pack up and leave. Do we even have a choice in this!" I didnt even realize i was yelling till i saw my parents face, they looked startled by my anger

Without even waiting for and answer i ran up to my room and started crying. I could barley breath when i heard my sister come into my room.

"Lou, maybe this isnt such a bad thing, we get to have a new start at a new school new friends maybe u wont be getting mobbed by crazy fans where ever you go now."

A Lot of times when i wasnt in school i was getting acouple people come up to me and ask for my autograph or a picture... I was a big hit on youtube... I have 2.9 million subscibers on youtube 2.4 million on instagram 1.8 million on twitter and 5.5 million on vine. I was mostly known for singing vines and covers on youtube.

"Maybe your right, i get to be a diffrent person in NC. I dont have to be 'The Lauren Jonstone From YouTube'  i could just be me Lauren Jonstone an averadge everyday 16 year old."

She gave me a smile and walked out. She was right this could be a good thing so i started to pack up my stuff when i realized it was wendsday and i have to make a new video. So i quickly grabbed my ipad an phone and ran into my filming room. I did the video i had been working on all week. A cover of counting stars by one republic. Playing guitar for myself, and singing.

As i started to sing i forgot all about the move and everything going on all that i was thinking about was the notes on the gutair and the next lyrics to sing. When the song was finished i said thank you and turned off the camera. I finished and posted the video and tweeted about it to go look it up.... Within 5 min i got 600 likes and 500 new subscribers.

I continued on social media for another half an hour or so before getting called upstairs to eat dinner. As soon as I sat down my dad asked me  "are you excited about the move?" And so on i tryed to answer with just a simple ya but my dad could see right through me.

"Lauren i know that you dont want to leave New York i understand thats a long way to go. But im asking you to make the best of it for me. Please?" My dad said sternly

"Okay.."

My mom tried to get us off the subject.

"So lauren i heard you playing your guitar... Were you making another video?" She asked even though she probably already knew the answer.

"Huh, uh ya. In 5 minutes i got 600 likes."

"Thats great lou!!" My sister said. She accually sounded happy for me, whats weird is she hated hearing about my videos and all the fame and stuff bc now shes being dragged into it also.

"Wait your accually happy for me. You hate all my youtube fame you think its stupid."

"Well it has grown on me okay. A person can change." She explain getting a annoyed look on her face.

I put my hands up in surrender and went back to eating. When we were all finished we put our plates in the sink and i ran upstairs to pack. I only had today and tomorrow, and friday we were moving. So i got most of my packing done that night. When i finally was to tired to pack anymore i looked at the time and it was 10:28 PM. I ran into the bathroom and changed into my pjs, brushed my teeth and ran into my bed. Before i knew it sleep took over my body.

*********************

"Lauren wake up its already 7:10!" My mom yelled

"Okay okay im up im up!"

I jumped out of bed and ran to my closet and picked out a black crop top and white ripped jeans. I put my hair in half up half down and curled it then put on my black bandanna. I ran downstairs grabbed the half a bagel my mom made me and some black vans and ran out the door to my bus stop.

I saw my best friend gia standing there. She waved and ran up to me to ask if i had the science project we did together. I did i have it in my bag i told her. She smiled. I figured now would be a good time to tell her considering she was one of my only REAL friends.

"Gi i gotta tell you something."

"Plz tell you didnt lie about having our science project in your bag."

I laughed "No no i really have it but tomarrow im moving to NC. My parents told me last night."

She looked at me in disbelief and started crying.

"Shh shh its okay.. Its okay. Ill call txt and facetime you everyday dont worry."

She just nodded. Then the bus came and we rode to school in silence. It was awkward kind of.

When we got there we went diffrent ways to our lockers and then reunited to go to science.

"I can do the talking if u want?" She told me because she knows i hate speaking in front of crowds.

"Thanks."

We walked in just as the bell rang. We took our seats and mr lang started to take voluteers for presenting. Gia raised her hand because we just wanted to get it over with. We were the first ones to go. We built a replica of newton balls to represent Isaac newtons 1st law of motion.

The class went pretty quick and i met up with connor,kyle, and alex for 2nd period chorus. That went quick too. Before i knew it the 9th period bell was ringing and everyone was rushing to either extra help or their bus.

I met back up with gia and i could tell she was trying not to bring up the move not just for my sake but for hers also. I just gave her a hug and we walked onto the bus.

The bus ride was quick too. Me and gia lived right down the block from eachother so we were at the same bus stop. We didnt talk much though we kinda just processed what its gonna be like when friday comes.
