Gone to soon

My name is Millie White I'm 17 years old. My hair is long, thick and down my back and the colour is chocolate brown, my eyes are the same colour. I live in a small town in Cheshire and I have just left school, I decided against college and decided I should make my own money so now I work in a local Starbucks just down the road from my house and have been working there for around 3 months. My mum and dad are happily married, my mum, Joan White , she has dark blonde hair just past her shoulders with big blue eyes, my dad , Richard White , has black hair with big brown eyes just like mine.

The alarm goes off at around 7am, "argh it's too early!" I sigh to myself, I get up and go to the bathroom, I turn on the hot and cold tap and leave them to run while I get my outfit ready. I look outside the window and decide I should wrap up warm as it looks so cold outside! I open my draw and pick out a grey top with a matching grey knitted jumper and also dark blue jeggings and obviously my underwear. I turn off the taps and get in the bath, I soak in there for a good half hour before I decide to get out incase I'm late. I dry off and get into my outfit. I then blow dry my hair and put it up into a messy bun, we have to have our hair up for work, health and safety reasons. I apply a small amount of foundation and a little mascara, "ahh I'm ready at last" I pick up my satchel and my iPhone and go down stairs. "I'm of to work now mum see you later!" I shout to my mum "have a nice day hunny " she replies. My dad is a doctor at the hospital and is mostly always there, my mum works from home. She designs and makes dresses for any attire, she even made my prom dress which by far was the best dress there.

I arrive at work and say hello to my work mates, Jess horn she has been my best friend since primary and lucky enough we now work together! Her hair is an auburn colour and she has bright blue eyes. My other work mate is Jacob Lint, he has dark brown hair and dark chocolate eyes he's also one of my close friends. The day goes on and Jess and Jacob finish their shift and leave me to tend the shop by myself, it's 7pm nearly closing time when the bell goes indicating someone has just come in. I look up to see this boy he has these eyes that are just beautiful they are a shade of green I haven't seen before and his hair was the same colour brown as mine and his hair was curly, I stood there staring at him for about a minuet, he was beautiful. "Um excuse me I would like to order something?" He says to me. I break out of my daze. "Oh god yeah sorry what would you like?" He laughs and I think I'm blushing. "Caramel frap, large" he says, His voice is beautiful. "Yeah no problem that's £3.60" he hands my a £5 pound note and I put it in the register giving him back his change. I make his drink and hand him it he takes it our fingers touch for a slight second and I feel some sort of tingly feeling in my belly, he takes his drink and begins to walk to the door. Before he exits he looks back and says "see you around" and smiles before leaving. The rest of the night I can't stop thinking about this boy, I don't even know him and he's just on my mind it turns 8pm and I close up the shop locking the door as I leave and take my normal route home.

"Mum I'm home!" I shout. "In here!" She shouts back, I walk to the kitchen and see my father sitting down at the dinner table and my mum just about to dish up dinner. "Your just in time" she says, "lasagne, your favourite" Its very rare that my dad is able to have dinner with us so I'm glad he's here. I sit down and she serves mine, my dad's and her plate. We sit there in silence eating our dinner, " so how was work?" My dad asks breaking the silence. "Oh you know, Same as usual" he just nods. I finish my food and leave the dinner table making sure to tell my mum thanks for dinner before I went upstairs.

I'm so tired but it's only 9pm and there is no way I'm going to sleep yet. It is my day of tomorrow after all, I pull out my laptop and log into Facebook. I scroll down my news feed for a while before a friend request appears, I click on it and oh my it's him! It's the boy from my work! Harry styles has sent you a friend request, I accept it almost straight away and of course start going through his photos, he looks the same as he does when I saw him. I look at the clock and it's past 11pm and I decide I really should go to sleep. I wipe of my makeup and put my hair up and out my pajamas on before getting into bed and shortly after drifting to sleep.

The next morning I wake up look over at the clock to see it's just turned 11am. I stretch and yawn and get out of bed, I put on some clothes for the day and do my normal hair and makeup routine before making my way downstairs, "morning, mum" I say as I see my mother cooking in the kitchen "would you like some beans on toast dear?" She asks me and of course I say yes because they are my favourite breakfast foods!

Me and my mum sit round the dining table and begin to tuck into our breakfast. "Any plans for the day then?" My mum asks me. "No not really" I sigh and she begins to talk, "would you like to come into town with me? We could go clothes shopping?" Well I do need to update my wardrobe so I tell her yes. Just after I finish my breakfast I tell my mum thanks as I always do and then go upstairs to get my phone and bag, then I put my white converses on. I head down stairs and my mum is waiting at the door "ready to go?" She asks, "yeah let's go". We both head out the door and get into her car and head for town. We end up parking in Asda car park seeing as everywhere is busy and we could only get a space here. We look around a few shops and so far I have bought some new foundation,eyebrow pencil, lip gloss, jeans, a top and a nice jacket. Me and mum decide to go for a coffee before heading home and of course the nearest coffee shop is Starbucks, the one I work in. We go in and I tell my mum my order while I sit down with all our bags, she brings over our drinks and we sit there for a while talking and drinking. As we are leaving someone bumps into me causing me to drop all my bags "oh for goodness sake!" I look up to see the boy from yesterday. The boy with the beautiful eyes also known as Harry styles "oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to walk into you" he says with the look of compassion in his eyes " oh don't worry it's fine" I pick up my bags and turn to walk of when he my arm and he says

"has anyone ever told you your beautiful?"
