The bodyguard's niece

Chapter 1

"Your going to stay with you uncle Paul this summer." Says my mom.

"I'm sorry did I hear you right? Your shipping me off to a guy I barley know and thousands of miles away from my best friend?" I say

"Alison stop being dramatic its barley two months and Nicole and you can still video chat and every thing it won't be that bad." My mom say as if its nothing because it doesn't even effect her really she barley sees me now and me being thousands of miles away in Ireland won't be much different for her.

"NO!!! I refuse to go and you can't make me." I say more liked yelled then ran up to my room, locked my door, layed on my bed and pulled out my phone and started to text Nicole to vent.

A: my mother is a pain in my ass

N: what happened now?

A: she's shipping me to my uncle Paul's for the entire summer :(

N: I don't think that it'll be that bad. I mean minus the fact you'll be with your uncle. I mean your going to IRELAND for 2 months. That's not bad

Typical Nicole trying to make even the worst situations sound even slightest bit good. That's why I love her.

A: I guess but thats still 2 months away from my bff :( ;)

N: O come on I mean I love you but we can still video chat and the thing we are doing right now TEXTING. I may not be beside you but I'll still be there for you. I'm coming over now c u in 5 to help u pack <3

How does she do that? I mean 2 minutes ago I wasn't even considering going on this trip but now I'm apparently packing in 5 minutes like wtf

After Nicole sent that text I hear a knock on my door there's only one person it could be ... My mother. So I get off my bed unlock the door and open it for her to come in. She then comes and sits next to me on my bed. This will be fun. ( please note the sarcasm)

"Alison, I promise you will have the best summer of your life and you may even see how great Paul really is. I mean you barely know him how can you judge him." She says this and I know she has a point. I don't know paul , mom moved us here when I was three I don't even slightly remember Ireland. "... Honey, I'm not trying to get away from you I wish I could spend more time with you but I want you to know Paul he's the closest person to me and I want you to have a similar relationship with him. Please, just give home a chance that's all I ask." She just looks at me with such hope in her eyes. She didn't even have to come up and talk to me Nicole already did that but what she said got to me and makes me want to go for her.

I now have a small smile on my face looking at my mom who seems a little worried and say " okay I'll do this for you. I'll give him a chance. " her worried expression disappears and is replaced with a huge smile and then she gives me a bone crushing hug.

Lately mom and I have been drifting apart. She's been so busy between working and visiting her boyfriend we don't get time like this. Maybe going to Ireland might bring is closer together finger crossed.

After mom let me breath again Nicole made her way to my house and came straight up to my room like she owned the place and helps me pack for my two month trip doing god knows what.

While in the middle of packing Nicole begins to speak. "You know I will miss you right? Just because I told you to go doesn't mean a part of me wants you to stay and be lazy with me." We both start laughing. I'm going to miss her like crazy but we both know I need to do this. "I'll miss you too but I promise to text, email,call or video chat everyday." I told her, now both of us start tear up.

After that heart to heart sappy moment Nicole helped me finish packing considering my mom booked my flight for tomorrow. Classic mom tell me I'm leaving the day before I have to leave.

Before Nicole leaves we hug for 15 minutes straight and just sobbed into each others arms. I wish she could come to the airport with me but of course she has to work.

When she walks out the door I break down I won't see this girl in weeks. We have barley spent two days apart. I have no idea how we will survive this but I know we will.
