omg hey, lol
haven't wrote a chapter in literal years and I do apologise. this story has been strange to write but I feel like it's had to grow w me. I was 13-14 when I started this and now I'm 18 so I couldn't write from a 13 year olds point of view anymore hehe.... ANYWAY if there's anyone still reading thanks heaps and I'll try be a better updater (no promises)

"This is literally crazy." Rose said as they walked out of the gates.
"I can't believe we're never going back." she sighed.

It was the last day of school. Rose didn't graduate at the top of her class. Quiet honestly she barely made it through. But she did somehow, and now it was all over.

"Tell me about it, now I actually have to deal with the real world!" Summer laughed as she held Roses hand.

"Buuutttt we can still have a little fun before we have to start university" Said Summer.

"Before you start University"

"Yeah, yeah. You get me."

Rose and Summer had been saving up since 10th grade to go to America as a celebration for graduating high school. They left on December 11th and weren't coming home til February 3rd.
A White Christmas, that's something you don't get in Australia.

But when they got back Summer would be starting University and Rose well, she didn't quite know what she would be doing yet. But it scared her to think about it.

The girls flight to LAX left at 5:45 in the morning which meant they had to be at the airport at 2:30am. Roses mum dropped them off and cried when they walked through the gates.

"Mum I'll be back before you know it," Rose laughed, "I'll miss you but you're being silly."

"I know, I know! Now go before I change my mind!" She said as she wiped her eyes.

Rose was still 17 whereas Summer was a year older making her an adult. It was the only reason they could travel, just them two. But Rose had to have parental permission. Of course.

They got through customs with no hassles and sat down on the chairs just outside their terminal.

"Harry Styles is in LA..." Summer said out of the blue.

"Oh my god, I thought we weren't going to bring this up" Rose sighed.

After Harry said all those things when she was fourteen, she was left with a aching heart; knowing that her celebrity crush kinda, maybe liked her back. And naturally, it was all she could think about. She started failing classes because she couldn't focus. Too excited about growing up and seeing him again.

But, despite having her number. He never called, he never texted. And young Rose was left to pick up the strange, broken pieces.

It was a weird situation. She knew it then, and she sure knows it now. She pulled through and picked up her act and tried to forget those fleeting moments she shared with Harry.

"I know but wouldn't it be the cutest love story ever" Summer smiles, nudging Rose lightly with her shoulder. Rose go's into her backpack and grabs her earphones out.

"No, it would be weird and creepy, like it was three years ago. Anyway, I'm going to ignore you til I'm less mad." Rose finished untangling her earphones and put them in her ears and connected them to her phone, pressing play.

Summer just laughed, she doesn't mention Harry often but she does get similar reactions every time. She's grown used to it.

The girls boarded not long after and Rose went back to her normal carefree self, laughing with Summer on the plane and annoying everyone when they tried to sleep. And many many hours and one layover later. They were in LA.
