Avery's P.O.V

We were now off of the plane and in the airport, waiting to collect our luggage. Not once had I let go of Mikey's hand, I'm guessing he doesn't mind, because he hadn't attempted to let go either.

People probably think we're a couple, holding hands, giggling uncontrollably, it's obvious that we love each other, just not in the way you expect. This friendship has formed so easily between us, I can tell that everyday it will go stronger. Good friends are hard to find, they're precious like diamonds. Diamonds are like stones, rocks even. Michael's my rock, he keeps me grounded.

He seems so happy just walking aimlessly around an airport with a girl he met less than 24 hours ago. What we have is special.

This whole friendship thing is new for me. Am I even doing this right? Am I moving too fast? Does he think I'm leading him on?! I hope not.

His sweet voice broke my thoughts, "Avery, are you okay? you seem a bit off?"

This boy can read me like a book.

"Yes, I just need to go use the bathroom." I smiled at him.

"Oh okay, they're just over there" he pointed in the general direction of the bathroom, then brought his focus back to our hands.

"Michael, you're going to have to let go, unless of course you'd like to visit the girls bathroom?" I smirked at him.

"No, no that's okay," he laughed nervously and let go of my hand, he quickly pulled his flannel sleeves over his hands. It was cute. Maybe a nervous habit?

"I'll wait for you here" he smiled and took my luggage from me like a true gentleman.

I don't need the bathroom. I just need to clear my mind and have a minute to myself.

I wash my hands, letting to cool water run between my fingers, before collecting a small pool and splashing it over my face.

Michael's P.O.V

I wonder what she was thinking about, does she think I'm weird?

My phone started to buzz in my pocket, I checked the caller I.D. Calum. I guess I better answer this.

"Calum?"

"Hey, we were just calling to make sure you landed okay?"

"Yes I'm fine, I met someone on the plane, I probably won't get home for a while"

"Oh a friend ayy?" I didn't appreciate his suggestive tone. He's such a dick.

"Yes a friend. I'll be home soon, I've got to go."

"Okay just don't get her pregnant"

"Fuck off Calum"

I held up before he could say anything else. A familiar red head started coming my way.

"Hey Avery"

"Hey Mikey"

"Do you want to go get some coffee?"

"Sure" she smiled.

I took her hand in mine again. We sat at a small table inside a cute little café. Our coffee's were brought over almost immediately.

"Tell me, what brings you to London?" I ask her taking a sip of my drink.

"A fresh start in a new city I guess. I really want to make something of myself. What about you?"

"I have a house here with my friends for business purposes. Tell me, what do you want to do? What's the big dream Ave?"

"Ave? That's new. Music maybe, I'm not really good at anything else. I'm not too great at music either but it makes me happy"

"You should come to band practise with me one day."

"Sure I'd love that" she blushes at the idea. She's such a dork.

I let out a short laugh. " here pass me your phone" I typed in my number and texted myself. "Come on, we better get you home"

I grabbed my coffee, and left a tip on the table.

Avery's P.O.V

This is weird. A good kind of weird. Mikey makes me happy. I can't remember the last time I laughed like this, or had gone this long without crying. I hadn't even reached my new home and I already love England. I'm so far away from Australia, I've left all of my worries and troubles behind.

The ride home was sweet, we talked about music and his band. They don't actually live too far from me. I couldn't wait to meet the other boys, if they were anything like Michael, I'm sure we'd get along just fine.

Mikey grabbed my bags from the boot and helped me get inside. The house was bigger than I remember, the walls were white and bare, the rooms empty.

"Thanks for the coffee and the ride home, it was nice meeting you Mikey" I smiled sheepishly.

"Don't go all formal on me Ave. It's been my pleasure." He laughed and pulled me in for a bear hug. He smelt so good!

I kissed his cheek and wished him a goodnight before closing the door.

As I hear the car speed down the street, I sit behind the door not knowing what to do. The rest of my belongings and furniture won't arrive until next week. Eurgh. I have no food and no furniture. Great.

I feel so lonely in this house, maybe I could get a room mate? That would be a good way to make a new friend right? I'll put an ad out soon.

I was about to unpack when I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.
