                                                          CHAPTER 1 - THE MOVE

 It's been 3 and a half years since the last time i seen my parents. I don't know if they left or something happened to them but they just... Disappeared. I'm Miranda and i live in an abandoned house with my brother. we got left behind by our parents after something so terrible happened. i don't talk much about my past because i have had it rough but that's why my brother is here to protect me. His name is Dylan and  He has stuck true thick and thin with me and he is like a dad to me. We use to not have much money as you heard but he got this job that he keeps hidden from me and got money but  today we are moving Today.

           I don't like the idea of moving into a real house for a long time  and trying to fit into a new school with new people it just doesn't fit me. I would much rather be hidden waiting for my parents to come back, But my Dylan just tells me that they will never come back that they don't want us no more. But i think wrong anyway ,  We are moving to A small town called  Holmes Chapel Because Dylan thinks its best if we move somewhere small and less harmful to me. I don't get why he has to be so protective all the time! ugh. *Miranda! come help me move the last of these boxes would ya!?* Oh uh sure let me get that for you.* * i picked up the box that felt like a ton and struggles to carry it to the car that was our parents and every few steps sits it on my knee to push it back into my arms* *Haha , You need to start working out on your arms Miranda * "I do not! Dylan i just am not use to lifting boxes like this" "i say as i let out a big sigh to let him know that I'm aggravated" as Dylan gets the last of the stuff in the worn down house he looks at me signaling for me to get in the car for our ride to Holmes Chapel.

             As we drive in the car with Dylan playing The music  he wants as usual and sings to it. I lean back in my seat putting in my headphones listening to my usual Cold Play music on staring out the window thinking about the "New Life" i was about to enter in a few hours. I don't wana leave but i didn't want to stay and live in my past.  I guess Dylan saw the expression on my face and tapped my shoulder as i pulled out my headphones and asked " What is is Dylan?" "Are you ok? you seem a bit down?" "Yes i am fine just thinking that's all, Is that it? " "Yea it is" After he was finally finished treating me like a baby i rolled my eyes as i put my headphones back in trying to ignore the fact that we were 2 Hours away from Holmes Chapel.  

                   

                         I must of fell asleep the rest of the way because Dylan taped me on the shoulder to let me know that we were there because my headphones were blocking out all sounds as i hoped for.  As we pulled up to this decent house that had a yard and not to big but just the perfect size for us Dylan interrupted my spacing out as he asked me to get out of the car and help move the boxes into the house.  I got out of the car as i looked the whole way around me looking at the neighbourhood that seemed to be a nice one. I moved a couple boxes before a guy with Light brown hair came up to me and seemed really nice. " Hi , nice to meet you i am Liam Payne i live right across from you." "Hey" i said in a curious tone because i felt as if he was going to do something to me or kill me or something. "You don't need to be afraid of me i won't hurt you , just trying to be friendly" as he let out a big sigh laugh.  About that time Dylan came out for more boxes and stopped to look at Liam and see if he looked like a bad person or somebody that shouldn't be around me. "Hey, who are you" Dylan said in a VERY Protective tone. " well i am Liam Payne i live across the street i was saying hello to.." he stopped and looked at me waiting for me to say my name. " Oh sorry uhm My name is Miranda" Right he said to me before turning back to meet Dylan's protective face " i was saying hello to Miranda trying to get to know my neighbours" "Well You could help by giving us some help with moving our stuff because with the rate Miranda is going  we will be here all night" Dylan said as he gave me a goofy glare before shooting a smile at me. "Hey!! not my fault to you i need to work my arms muscles out more" I teasingly said to him. "OH! sure i will help" As Dylan and Liam walked off into the house with some boxes i let out a sigh with a half smile before Entering the House.

              When i finally looked up to see where we would be living i dropped my jaw before saying "Wow  Dylan this is beautiful" "Sure is sis and it's all for us" He said as he poked me playfully. *HOURS LATER*  After we got settled down and the sky became night me and Dylan set up our rooms and got everything out of boxes which felt like forever. "Knock Knock Knock!" "Come in" "Hey Sis i just wanted to let u know that i locked the doors so nobody can get in and also I will be dropping you off at the new school tomorrow Holmes High School"  I didn't want to go to this school because of meeting new people and having to "start new" but i had to sooner or later just wished it was later. "Fine but don't expect me to meet new people as you said before in my other school" "Ha , Okay Whatever as long as you will go without arguing with me" He said carelessly as he smiled and finally left my room". I got undressed out of my clothes i was wearing today and put on a pair of sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt and pulled my hair into a messy bun before i headed off to bed and into a deep sleep.
