I'm Samantha. I'm 18, and I live with my parents. They love me, but they're always away on business. My best friend is Jasmine and I have anorexia and I self harm.

Samantha's POV:

I wake up to the sun in my eyes. "What the..?" I start to say but then I see my mom standing there smiling at me. "Good morning sweetheart! Breakfast is ready!" she says. "I'm not hungry." I lie. She sighs "Well, come downstairs. Dad and I need to talk to you." Oh no. This can't be good. "Alright. Give me 15 minutes." I say and she leaves. I jump in the shower real quick and put on jeans and a black sweater. I apply some mascara and eyeshadow. I head downstairs, and walk into the kitchen. I sit down and say "So, what did you need to talk to me about?" Both of my parents look at me. "Um, well your dad and I have to go on another business trip." my mom says. I felt my heart sink. "Oh, for how long?" I ask sadly. "A couple of months....you'll be okay here alone though right?" She asks. "Yeah, sure." I mumble. "We're really sorry, hun." My dad says. "Yeah, I know. It's just you guys will miss my birthday." I say. "We know hun but we can't miss this business trip. We're really sorry, but here we got you a present to make it up to you." My mom says while leaving the room. She comes back in and hands me a pink iPhone 5c. I smile and say "Thanks." I'm really happy I got an iPhone but I'd rather have them here with me for my birthday. "When do you leave?" I ask. "Tomorrow morning." my dad answers. I nod. "We're leaving $3000 with you for food, gas, and shopping if you'd like." my moms says. "Okay, thanks." I say while heading back upstairs. Great. They're leaving....again. I decided to text Jasmine. I turned my iPhone on and programmed her number in.

Okay! See you in a bit. :)

I'm already ready so I decided to just head there now. I put on my black vans and head downstairs. "I'm going to hangout with Jas! I'll be back later! Bye." I shout to my parents. It was a very hot day, but I can't let anyone see my scars. Nobody knows...not even Jasmine...and I intend to keep it that way. I finally made it to Starbucks, and I walked in and sat down. A few minutes later I saw Jasmine come in. She spotted me and came over. "Hey! Did you already order?" She asked. "No. I don't want anything." I reply. "Are you sure?" I nod. "Okay. Well, I'll be right back." she says and goes up and orders. She came back a few minutes later. "So, how have you been girl?" She asks. "I'm good." I lie. "What's wrong, Sam?" She asks while frowning. "Nothing! I'm fine. I promise." I say while smiling. I don't think she believes me but she let it go. "Did you get a new phone?" She asks. "Yeah, it was an early birthday present I guess." I say. She nods. "I'm gonna go to the restroom I'll be right back!" I say while getting up but then I bump into someone. "Oh, I'm so sorry." I say. I looked up and stared into these adorable brown eyes. I blushed. "No, it's okay love. I wasn't paying attention." He says. Oh, so he's British? I smile. "What's your name?" He asks. "Samantha. What's yours?" I ask. "I'm Zayn. Nice to meet you." He said. I just smiled at him. "Um, can I have your number?" He asks. I blush and say "yeah, sure." Then I write my number on a piece of paper and give it to him. He waves goodbye and I wave back. Oh no, am I falling for this boy? I look at Jasmine and she's making kissy faces. "Shut up!" I say while blushing. "Well, I have to get going! But you better keep me up to date with what happens better you and brown eyes, okay?" She said. I laugh. "Nothings going to happen." I said. "Mhmmm." I heard her say. I rolled my eyes. "I'll see you later, Jasmine. Love ya!" I said. "Love you!" She said while walking out the store. I sighed. Well, today has been okay. I start to walk home and waited for Zayn to text me.
