Michael's P.O.V

"What was it you wanted to tell me?" she asked.

I couldn't do it to her. I'm all she has. She's been through enough.

Suddenly, my phone starts to buzzing my pocket. I check the caller I.D. Ashton.

"Ave, I'm so sorry, I've got to go. I'll talk to you later okay?"

The words fall out of my mouth instantly, as I quickly walk to the front door.

"Oh, okay. Get home safe..." she looked so disappointed.

I slowly shut the door and walk home.

Avery's P.O.V

Not long after Michael left, I fell asleep across the two beanbags.

The next morning, the sound of my doorbell had awakened me. To my disappointment, it was just the rest of my furniture arriving.

After quickly changing and eating some breakfast, I left the house to explore London. There were so many places I wanted to go, so many places I wanted to see. But knowing me, I'd get lost in no time.

I decide to take a walk around the local area. I spot a cute bookstore and decide to take a look inside.

If vintage had a specific smell, this would be it. It was perfect. The store was quiet, I begin to walk down an aisle of books with no covers.

"Can I help you at all?"

A sweet girl, around my age stood behind me. She was the complete opposite to me. Beautiful curly brown hair, a caramel-like completion, and gorgeous green eyes.

"Erm hi, I'm Avery, I'm kinda new to the area. I saw this place and decided to take a look around."

I stuck my hand out, and she shook it in return.

"I'm Rhiannon, I work here sadly. I'm guessing you're from Australia? It's a beautiful accent you have there. I finish my shift in 10 minutes, I can take you on a little tour and we can grab some lunch if you like?"

Wow, I like this girl already.

"That sounds really great thank you so much."

"Okay, I'll meet you in the little café across the road. And here, this is on me. I think you'll enjoy it."

This did have have a cover, it was called 'The Secret Life Of Bees'.

"Thank you, I guess I'll see you in a few?"

"See ya"

I walk over to the café and get a table. I take out my phone and notice a missed call and a text from Michael.

From: This dude named Michael

Hey, sorry I had to leave last night, do you want to go and watch a movie later?x

To: This dude named Michael

Yeah sure. Pick me up at 6?x

From: This dude named Michael

Will do sweet cheeks ;) x

To: This dude named Michael

Don't call me that weirdo x

I had almost forgotten, he was meant to tell me something last night. I guess he can tell me later.

I look up and see Rhiannon come through the door.

"Hey there stranger, let's eat!"

"Let's!"

I guess I've finally made a friend in England, besides Michael.

-

After sharing a Hawaiian pizza, I had found out quite a lot about Rhi (that's what I call her now), she was studying Economics at University, she's actually from Africa, and was currently looking for somewhere to live so that she can move out of her parents.

This was perfect, she could come and live with me while she found her own place, unless of course she wanted to stay, which I probably wouldn't mind. I felt like I had a sister rather than a friend.

I told her about Michael and why I moved here (vaguely), she was very sympathetic, but I didn't get emotional this time. I'm grateful I've found her.
We take a walk around and I now know where to find a bus, or train, where to go shopping. I really like it here.

It was 4:30, so we took a bus to Rhiannon's house so should could pack a few things and come and stay with me for a bit, to see if she liked it.

When we finally got to mine, it was starting to get dark.

"Michael's coming to pick me up soon, so I'm going to get ready, make yourself at home. The spare room is at the top of the stairs on the right, the bathroom is at the end of the hall."

"Thank you again Ave, this is so generous of you." She hugs me tightly.

"No problem, I was pretty lonely here anyways."

Authors note

Okay so, this took forever to write, it's just a filler. But I promise the next chapter is full of drama!

Also, I know Luke hasn't been introduced yet, but it will happen soon, I promise it will be worth the wait.

Love you all x
