Jack pov 

A/N: By the way I am American so its going to be in the American version of English. 

It was a nice winter day when I joined the British boyband Roadtrip. I was moving from Ireland to England to live with Andy,Rye,Mikey, and Brook today and we are already almost there. I can't wait to meet the rest of the boys since I only met Andy. We got to the apartment building and I began to grab my things. It wasn't much since I lived in poverty all of my life. I only had a bag with two pairs of clothes, a pillow, and a picture of me and my little sister. It was only my little sister and I growing up. My mom died during child birth and my dad got arrested for child abuse. My dad always hated me he started the abuse when I was 5 because I looked to much like my mom. So it was just me and my sister I got a job that allowed me to at least fed ourselves.My sister hates me because I found out that we have family over in America and I knew that they would give her a better life so I sent her to America. But I also had my moms guitar with me because it was the only thing besides my old home that was left in my name. 

I walked inside the building and up a couple flights of stairs to my new home. I knocked on the door and some kid was standing there. 

"Who are you and how can I help you?" the kid asked. 

"Hi um Im Jack Duff and I am your new bandmate." I replied.

" Ok and can I help you with your stuff?"

" No this is it." I said holding up a ripped backpack and my moms guitar. 

"Ok and by the way my names brook come on in." 

I followed him in and he should me the way to I guess was my room. 

"Ok this is your room but its also mine, why don't you get settled in and when you are ready you can come and meet the other boys." 

"Ok" I said in a mellow tone

I sat down on the bottom bunk and just took a deep breath. I just realized my sister is over 5,000 miles away from me. I pulled out my phone and called her. The operator said the call heading to America is going to cost $5. I accepted the charges. 

The line rang over to America and someone picked up. 

"Hi I was wondering if Elizabeth Duff landed yet and was ok. By the way this is Jack Duff her older brother."

"She will be right with you." 

"Jack hi, I can't stay here all the other people have  weird accent in New York."

"Elizabeth you have to stay there until I'm old enough to adopt you which is going to be three more years just give me time and Im going to be living my dream here in England." 

"Ok just can you come and visit once in awhile." 

"Of course I will Im going to be flying out there for your birthday in 8 months." 

"Ok, I love you even though I hate you." 

"I love you too." 

She hangs up. 

I get up and head out too the living room and see all the boys and they just stare right at me and its nerve wrecking because what if they decide not to like me and kick me out of the band. Andy walks over to me and announces to everyone that I'm the new band member. Rye told me to sit down on the couch so I sat down next to Brook and he put his arm around me like we were best friends for years. They are watching Twilight and I hate this movie because my dad said it reminded him of my late mom. I walked out of the living room and into my room. Brook decided to follow me who know why I'm just a depressed 17 year old boy who had a shitty life so far. I slammed the door behind me and Brook walked right in.

"hey are you ok?" Brook asks

I said nothing because tears are rolling down my face because of my past. He walks right up to me and laid down right next too me while I face the wall. Brook rubs my back and trys to calm me down and it works because I fall fast asleep. He got out of the bed and kissed my head and said goodnight.
