“Last Call for boarding on Plane to London!”
I smiled before turning around and giving my family a tight hug. “Promise you’ll call us y/n?” said your mom as she let go of you. “Yes I promise.” I kneeled onto the ground and pulled my little sister into a hug as she leapt into my arms. “Love you.” I smiled and kissed her forehead. “Love you too my little bug.” I stood up straight my shirt out before giving my mom another tight hug. “Are you sure you’ll be ok? I know its a bit complicated between you and Tom.” my smile fell as she mentioned his name I blinked a couple times before putting on a fake smile and pulling out of the hug. “I’ll be fine, I promise. I have to go or I’ll miss the plane.” my mom gave me a reassuring smile as my family waved goodbye, I smiled and started making my way towards the gate for my plane.
I sat down on the aisle seat after stuffing my carry on into a small shelve and pulling out my laptop and headphones. I continued writing my story as memories and worry flooded over my thoughts. I haven’t seen or heard from Tom ever since I moved from London to America, and I regret many decisions i've made most of them having to do this Tom. We’ve been bestfriends since we were practically babies and we spent all our time together, but ever since I moved I tried contacting him but he never answered, after months of trying I gave up.
I just graduated high school and had no plans for what to do during the summer until you got a call from Toms parents inviting me to a beach house they house they bought in Chichester, the whole family was going to be there and the house was quite large so they wanted to invite you to spent the whole summer with them. You hesitated at first as thoughts of Tom hating you flooded your head but overall decided to go. The Hollands were like a second family and London was your home, and you missed it and them more than anything.
The Hollands were one of the richest families in the World, and as the oldest son Tom had a lot of pressure on him to not screw up. But before they were the richest family in London you knew them as the family next door. You were lost in your thoughts before a stewardess came up to you “Would you like some water?” you blinked a couple times before turning to her “Yes, please.” this was going to be a long flight.

You finally got off the plane and finally felt at home as you were in your familiar city, you took a deep breath before exhaling slowly. You started looking around the airport before you heard a familiar voice “Y/n!” “Nicola!” she wrapped her arms around you and have you a tight hug “God, you look gorgeous, we’ve missed you so much.” she let go of me and gave a big sweet smile. “I've missed you too.” “Come on we’ve got to get going, the whole family is waiting for you.” you grabbed your bags and followed her to her car, you put your bags in the car and sat down the the front seat. “I thought Tom was going to pick me up?” you said in a nervous tone “Well, he was supposed to but he backed out last second.” “Oh” you said looking down “But I bet he’s very excited to see his best friend.” “Yeah…” your heart felt heavy as your eyes drifted to the window as your childhood city sped past you.

The car stopped in front of a large modern house painted with a light sky blue and yellow, and large windows covering most of the house with a view to the ocean. There was a trail straight from to the beach from the house. The beach was so close you could feel the breeze coming from the ocean. “Its beautiful.” “Thank you honey. We wanted one that was practically on the beach.” Nicola helped you with your bags before you both walk up to the door. “Dominic is cooking dinner for all of us, I’m going to go help him. But the boys should be around they’ll show you to your room.” you smiled and nodded before she opened the door to the large house. “Boys! Y/n is here!” she gave you a smile before walking off towards the kitchen, you heard loud running before seeing Harry, Sam, and Paddy running towards you as they kept shoving each other out of the way. “Y/n!” they all shouted at once as they jumped onto you giving you a tight hug. “How are my boys?” you had a huge grin on your face as you hugged all the boys back.
“We’ve missed you so much!”
“I've missed you too. More than anything. Now any of you care to show me to my room?” you said sarcastically as you put your hand of your hip.
“Me!” they all shouted before running up the stairs all at once. You laughed kneeling down the pick up your bags, you slowly stood up before being met face to face with Tom, he was walking towards the stairs before freezing as he meet your eyes. “Hey.” you said softly not breaking eye contact, his face hardened before he walked off towards the stairs, your heart felt heavy again as you sighed looking down at the ground.
“Y/n! Your rooms over here!”
Your head jerked up as you heard yelling from upstairs, you smiled slightly before dragging your bags up the stairs.

You walked into your bedroom dropping your bags as you looked around the room. The room had white walls, beige carpet with a queen size bed in the middle of the room with a white headboard and cream bedding with a big of yellow and blue. There was a white bedside table with a glass lamp and cute green plant, blue modern art paintings over the bed, a small white cushion in the corner of the room next to the large windows covering one side of the wall leading out to a small balcony with white curtains draping over the windows.
You smiled before turning around towards the boys. “Thank you so much gentlemen.” you said bowing your head. They laughed before nodding “Toms room is right next door if you want to say hi.” you put a fake smile on before giving them another hug “I have to go unpack, I’ll see you guys downstairs.” They nodded before running off, you closed the door before sliding down to the ground, tears started forming in your eyes before you closed them. Why was he ignoring me? Did I do something wrong? I've missed him so much, I wanted to give him a tight hug more than anything. But by the look on his face that wasn’t going to happen.
You opened your eyes and slowly stood up. You grabbed your bags and started unpacking them, while unpacking you realized you forgot to pack a toothbrush. “Shit.” you groaned before unpacking the rest of your things. You decided to take a quick shower to wash away all your worries, getting out you pulled on some white shorts and strappy yellow t shirt with no back, you sighed before heading out the door stopping to look at the door of Toms bedroom, sighing you starting making your way downstairs.

Walking into kitchen you saw Nicola and Dominic were cooking Dinner while Harry, Sam, and Paddy tried to help, Tom was sitting on the couch while surfing the channels on the TV. You chuckled as you sat down at the bar counter. “Need any help?” “No, I think we’re good honey. Thank you.” said Nicola as she gave you a smile. “I um, kind of forgot to pack a toothbrush. Is there a shop nearby?” “Oh, we actually need some more eggs. Tom, honey can you take Y/n to the store, and get some eggs.” “Oh, um its fine I can go by myself.” you said laughing nervously “Nonsense. Tom will come with you. Tom honey, please?” you bit your lip nervously “Fine. Let's go.” said Tom as he got up off the couch and grabbed his keys. You got up off the chair and followed Tom out the door and into his car, none of you saying a word.
