Hey guys! I hope you like this story. :) I've worked so hard on it! but anyways... sorry this chapter is a little bit boring, you're being introduced to everyone! enjoy. :)

Chapter 1:

"Lauren, you can't be in love with someone you don't know! That is just silly." Sarah Young, my best friend, scoffed at me. I swear, sometimes she acts like my mother.

She just doesn't understand. I may not know Harry Styles, but I do love him. Even though I've never talked to him or seen him in person, I know it's meant to be!

"What about your love for Josh Hutcherson? Isn't that the same thing?" I remembered her confessing her love for The Hunger Games star.

"No, That's completely different." Sarah giggled.

I stopped defending my love for Harry and hung up the phone. I went downstairs to grab myself a water. Just as I was walking past my parent's room, I heard my mom on the phone. Time to eavesdrop! I put my ear up to the door.

"It will only be for the summer. David and I need some time alone, away from everything, but anyway, thank you so much Tim. It means so much to us." What the hell is she talking about? Before I had time to think about it, I heard footsteps coming towards the door. I ran as fast as I could towards the living room and landed perfectly on the couch, like a boss. Score 1 for Lauren.

"Hey, Lauren..." She sing-songed as she plopped down on the couch. "We need to have a talk."

I silently made my way next to her. "Yes...?" I said, acting innocent.

"Well, your dad and I planned a trip... to Mexico! For the summer." She gave a fake smile.

"Oh! Yay! I've always wanted to go to Mexico! So when do we leave?" I smiled, not catching on.

"Uh, honey... we're going alone." She put her hand on my knee. I was silent for a while.

"So, you're telling me you and dad are leaving me here by myself? ALL summer?" I never thought my mom would allow that. She's so protective!

"No! Of course not. I just talked to your Uncle Tim. He said he would love to watch you while we are gone!" There goes my mom, treating me like I'm 5. I'm 18… almost! I don't need a babysitter. Plus, I haven't seen Tim in like 4 years. Why is he the one "watching" me?

"Oh, but, Tim lives in the UK, right? He's gonna fly all the way out here for me?" I smiled, I felt kinda honored. I hadn't seen Tim in years, ever since he moved to England. Why did he move to England anyway? I had no idea, but I did know he was my favorite uncle!

My mom cleared her throat, looking uncomfortable. "No, Lauren. You're flying out to England to live with him." She smiled, not showing her teeth.

I gasped when I heard the news. I'm moving to England?!

 I said goodbye to my parents and loaded my suitcases into Sarah's car. Sarah insisted she would be the one to take me to the airport.

I hopped in the front seat of Sarah's Range Rover. I've always been jealous of her car. I waved to my parents as we drove off. My mom wiped tears away and blew a kiss to me. I'm gonna miss them, but who cares? I'm going to London! Woop woop!

I turned up the radio and "Part Of Me" by Katy Perry came on. Sarah and I started singing like idiots and laughing. This is why I love her. We danced the whole way to the airport. When we got there, I stepped out of the car and got my 3 red suitcases.
