Torn Apart (Lawson fanfic)

Chapter 2

Walking home from university was no effort at all really, it was only a couple of minutes away from my house.

When I got onto my driveway, I pulled out my keys from my bag and unlocked the door. As soon as took a step in, Ella came rushing towards me with her arms held out, begging for a hug.

Ella is my little sister.

"Hey!" I said with a smile

"Grace!" She shouted cheerfully.

"How has your day been?" I asked as she led me into the kitchen.

"Great now." She replied.

"And how's that?" I said.

"Because...WERE MAKING CAKES!" Ella shouted excitedly.

"Are you sure? Have you asked Mum or Dad?" I wondered.

"Erm..."

"I thought so. I'll just go check."

I walked out of the kitchen to the bottom of the stairs and shouted "MUM? IS IT OKAY IF ME AND ELLA MAKE CAKES? SHE REALLY WANTS TO."

"YEAH." She called back.

Cool. Back to the kitchen to measure out the ingredients for cup cakes.

So 150g of flour...75g of butter...1 egg...

I checked the fridge for the egg.

"Oh shoot."

"What's wrong?" Ella stood up off the kitchen stool.

"We haven't got any eggs."

"Oh." Ella looked down and looked disappointed.

"Don't worry! I'll just ask next door. They'll bound to have some."

I quickly put my shoes on and shut the door, not completely because I was coming in, in a couple of seconds. I went and knocked on our neighbours door and almost straight away the door opened and a cute looking boy answered. He looked young, maybe a couple of years younger than me. He ran his hand through his short brown fluffy hair and then showed a straight row of white teeth.

"Hi, can I help you?"

"Oh erm yeah, hey, I live in the house next to you and I was wondering if I could borrow an egg? Because me and my sister was making cakes and I discovered we don't have any eggs and I thought you might have some?"

"Oh yeah, hey! Erm I think we might have some...one sec...yep I got one! Here you go!" And he handed me the egg.

"Ah thankyou! Sorry for looking a little startled when you opened the door, I didn't know you lived here, haven't seen you around before."

"Haha thats alright! And yeah I don't come home much because I'm part of a band and we go and tour a lot all over the world, so I now have a couple weeks off to spend with my family. My names Joel by the way." He said holding out his hand.

"Ohh, sounds awesome! My names Grace. Well hopefully I'll see you around sometime, Joel." I replied shaking my hand with his.

"You too!" Joel smiled.

"Oh and thanks for the egg again."

"Your welcome!"

"Bye!" I shouted as I came out of his driveway and into mine.

"Bye!" Joel said as he shut the door.

Well, that was nice.

I hope I do get to see Joel sometime soon.

Quick side note: Joel will be the only one of Lawson in the story for at least about 3 or 5 chapters, and then I will introduce the rest of the boys, just thought id say :)
