Today I was moving back to London. For the past year I had been living with my aunt and uncle on the outskirts of America seen as my parents died in a car crash about one year ago. I was moving back into London seen as I could get a place of my own now I'm 21. I have always loved London and told myself I would always come back and reunite with my sisters and friends. I suffer from anxiety which made me suffer in college with stress. I studied photography before moving to America and I am launching my business in London on the day I move. I also have had youtube as a job for about 2 years my channel is called 'Laurensgap' and I know it sounds a lot like 'Jacksgap' but Jack let me have it. I know what you are now thinking. How does she know Jack Harries? Well I was at my friend Laura's 18th and I had my first panic attack there. Everyone just looked at me weirdly and moved on but I caught Jack's eye and he came and helped me. He explained what was happening and why. Shortly after we became bestfriends and that was when I started my YouTube channel. We would text every night and that's when my parents died and I moved to America and then we lost contact. My sisters both stayed here now that Tara had Liam Payne as her boyfriend and Robyn had Niall as her boyfriend but about 3 weeks ago they got engaged. This was also a reason I was moving back to London because I couldn't miss my own sisters wedding and I missed then so much. I hadn't seen them at all in one year.

From finding my house to packing to just getting my self here it has taken around 9 months. Thank god, I was finally here. I had to meet Laura in town in just over an hour so I headed to the underground. I had to barge my way on as you do because if you don't you could probably end up lying on the platform half dead with one broken and and one broken leg. Ok, maybe I am exaggerating a bit but I am not for off. The passengers were so different than they were in America on the subway. You'd get all kinds of creeps there. Here people would actually talk to you and sacrifice their seat for you. I literally had to kill to get a seat on the subway.

The tube stopped and I got off. It was all a blur and all I saw was people heading towards me. I finally got off and as I turned around I collided with someone. I fell to the floor and random people would just say sorry and walk off. But this person was different. He stopped and helped me up apologising and I sounded like he actually meant it. I looked up at the strangers face and all I can say was he was no stranger. He was standing right in front of me. Jack Harries. "Jack?" I asked "Lauren?" He asked. I nodded and hugged him. "Look I have to go I am meeting Laura but if you give me your number we can schedule something and I'll explain there" he took my phone and out his number in it and I did the same. I rushed off after leaving him to get on the tube. I arrived at the coffee shop 20 minutes late and there sat an infuriated Laura. "Sorry, the underground was hectic and I bumped into Jack" she forgave me. We sat there catching up and talking rubbish just like we would when we were at school and college. Laura went to school with me and took photography course with me. Laura left to meet her boyfriend but we are meeting up next week so it didn't bother me.

I met Tara and Robyn in Topshop and we caught up. They invited me back for a movie marathon night and agreed since I didn't even have a bed to sleep in. We walked through the doors of their massive house to see Liam and Niall sat on the sofa. "LIAM, NIALL" I shouted running over to them and giving them a hug. I go upstairs and give my sisters some space with their lovers. I start to text Jack and within seconds I get a reply 'wanna come to Starbucks tommorow in town?' I smile and agree to meet him.
