Chapter 1

“I love you baby, see you very soon.” Harry whispered through the screen.

“I love you too Harry. I miss you.” I pressed the end call button on our Skype chat, wiping the tear that had made its way down my cheek. 

Emily Richards is the name, and yes, I am Harry Styles’ girlfriend. I love him more than life itself, but things have been difficult for the past year since he went on the x factor and joined One Direction. Having a pop star boyfriend is not all its crack up to be you know, I mean I never get to see him. I wish he had more time to spend with me and his family. We make it work though.

*3 Years Earlier*

“Em?” Harry called my name.

“Yes Haz?” I replied looking over at the beautiful boy I call my best friend sitting on my bed. I have had a crush on Harry since we were about 12, but there is no way I could tell him that. We were best friends after all, and I didn’t want to ruin that.

“Do you like me?” He asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“Of course I like you Harry.” I stated simply, trying not to let the blush to show on my cheeks.

“No I mean, like like me?” He repeated, standing up so he was towering over me.

“Um, wh-who told you that?” I stuttered, getting more and more embarrassed by the whole situation.

“No one.”

“Oh right, well um..why do you ask?”

“Just answer the question Emily.”

“I um-well I.” I struggled to get my words out. Harry moved closer towards me until I was leaning against my bedroom wall.

“Well I really like you Emily.” Harry stated before grabbing me by the waist and pulling me in for a kiss. The kiss only lasted a few seconds, but it was amazing. I didn’t hesitate to kiss him back, I let myself melt into it. Harry looked at me deep in the eyes, once I had pulled away, and smiled his gorgeous smile revealing his dimples.

“I really like you too Harry.” I replied poking one of his dimples making him chuckle.

“Will you be my girlfriend Em?” Harry asked looking at the floor.

“Course I will.” I said grabbing his chin and pecking him on the lips.

*2 Years Later*

“Emily, babe! Where are you?” Harry shouted from the bottom of my stairs.

“I’m in my room.” I shouted down waiting to hear his footsteps, and sure enough he came running into the room holding a piece of paper grinning like a 2 year old.

“Look!” He squealed throwing the piece of paper at me and waiting with anticipation. I glanced down at the page, taking everything in. On the top of the page in bold letters read the words ‘Harry Edward Styles, please attend your audition at Old Trafford Manchester on April 11th 2010’. I looked in the top corner of the page and saw the x factor logo.

“That’s great babe.” I said enthusiastically, trying to hide my real feelings inside. I know how much Harry wants to sing and how much it would mean to him to even get any type of feedback from this audition. I just can’t help feeling upset that my Harry might be taken away from me. I know how amazing he is, which makes this even harder because he will definitely make it through.

“It’s in two days Emily, will you come with me? I really want you to be there.” Harry asked with a pleading look in his eye, which I can’t say no to.

“Course I will babe.” I replied with a smile.

*2 Months Later*

“I am going to miss you so much babe.” Harry said giving me one last kiss.

“I love you so much and I am so proud of you. Promise me you will call me as soon as you get to London?” I replied with a tear filled voice.

“I promise Em.” Harry smiled and got into the car. I waved as he drove off into the distance as more and more tears ran down my face.

“It’ll be ok Emily, you will see him again in no time.” My mum, who was now standing next to me, said before pulling me into a hug and letting me sob into her chest.

*Present Day*

I shut my laptop down after my Skype call with Harry and trudged into the kitchen and opening the freezer. I grabbed the tub on Ben and Jerrys and a spoon, walked into the living room and plonked myself on the coach digging into the ice cream as I did so. I flicked on the TV and noticed a news report about One Direction.

“Is Harry cheating on Emily?” The lady on the news read out the headline catching my attention. “Harry Styles from boy band One Direction has been spotted with a mystery brunette. They have been seen spending a lot of time together and have most recently been seen in a romantic restaurant sharing a meal for two. Are things not going well between Harry and long term girlfriend Emily Richards?” I switched the TV off before waiting to hear anymore. Of course I trust Harry, I know that he would never cheat on me and I vowed to stay by his side no matter how far apart we are.

I picked myself up off the coach and put the ice cream back in the freezer. As I turned around I glanced at the clock noticing that it is 11.40pm. As if on cue I let out a massive yawn and took myself of to bed, after all I do have a long day tomorrow. I finally get to see Harry after 6 months.

Tomorrow I am going to London to meet the rest of One Direction. I can’t wait.

I’m not going to do two authors notes every week, this is just for the first chapter. I just wanted to clear something up. Basically, because I recently started college, in September, I will only be updating at weekends, and maybe the occasional Wednesday. So please don’t get too impatient, I will try my best to fit this in with my college work. Thanks everyone.

For everyone who doesn’t know me, my name is Charlotte and I am from near to Newcastle in the UK. I would love to get to know some of you.
