Take Me Home (A One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 1

Aly's  POV

Chapter 1

I am so excited!! i cant believe i am here in London! Here for most of the summer, i already have this planned out.  I just got off my plane, i'll grab my luggage and wait for Chrissy to pick me up. My mom was very unsure about letting me do this, but im very gald she did.  Chrissy is much younger than my mom. My moms 47, and Chrissy is only 33. My moms parents had my mom at a very young age, and they wanted to make sure my mom grew up with lots of attention. Thats why they waited until she was 13 to have Chrissy. My mom says Chrissy was never really very responsible, never had a solid goal. But Chrissy always loved fashion, and the only thing she loved more than fashion was London.  This is why after high school Chrissy studies abroad in London, ended up eventually becoming a citizen, and just recently opened up her own small boutique in London. 

Thats probably why im so excited tpo have this time on my own.  Wether my mom realized it or not, Chrissy just opened this business, and she called once and said she has been very busy. This means i can work my own schedule, and not have to worry about her watching me every minute. Here she comes.

"Hey Aly! God its been ages since ive seen you!'. wow, she looks great, doesnt look older than 25, but looks exhausted. and she has a slight aceent.  Good for her.

"hey" i say as i giver her and hug and a kiss, 'im so glad to see you too!  im so excited to be here!'

In the next few hours she gave me a little tour of London, we went back to her house (which was HUGE, house, no it was a freaking mansion) i settled my stuff in a cute little  blue and green bright room, and then she brought me to her boutique to look around.

"you can have the family discount" she says as i wander the store. wow, this stuff ia actuallly really cute! i dont know what i was expecting, but Chrissy sure knows her fashion. 

"If you wanna comeover and hangout, or even help out by organizing or helping shoppers, i can pay you through stiff you buy here. Just comeover whenever you want." 

I Nod. "ok sounds great!' This was a quaint little place, and Chrissy described earlier it was only about a 25 minute walk from her house, and if i used her old bike, it only took about 10 minutes. 

"There is also some other great places around here" she says, her boutique is located in a little strip mall in her town. "theres a jewelry store, a couplke cafes, smoothie shop, toy store (thanks but im not 6) and...umm... well theres other stuff but i cant seem to recall them. You'll just have to go check it out yourself."

"Alright" i say as i let out a yawn.

"oh my gosh! im sorry Aly, its 9:00 and your probably jet lagged, im so sorry! Lets head home, we can grab a pizza on the way if your hungry."

I smile, i am exhausted. And hungry too. "sounds like a plan! Lets go."

We then left her shop as she yelled to the young girl behind her to lock up at 11, and i didnt know which i was more excited for.  The pizza and going to bed, or the adventure that came tomorrow.       

Chrissy left this morning at about 5:30 to go to the boutique.  I didn't wake up til about 10:30, so i must have been pretty tired. Not that i wake up early, i guess i just dont really like to sleep in.  I went to the kitchen and looked around finding a note on the counter, which said

Morning Sunshine!  Sorry i had to leave so early, but i had some paper work to do at the shop.  Theres coffee in the pot, some bagels, poptarts, and cereal in the pantry, along with frozen waffels in the freezer. I'll be at the shop pretty much all day, but i thought we could go to dinner later if your up for it.    With Love- chrissy

Aww, she's so sweet. I cant understand how her and my mom could be so different, my moms uptight, always watching over you, controlling, and think of consequences and what tomorrow might bring. Chrissy's all do what you enjoy (but be careful), have fun, live while were young type attitude.

I grab a poptart out of the pantry and read my magazine. One direction is on the cover. God, they're beautiful. What i'd give to see them.

Suddenly i hear my ringtone go off as i look at my phone, which is playing "Little Things". I look at it, seeing my mothers face and i hit Answer.

" hey mom" i say. I hope she's not mad i forgot to call her last night.

"hey sweety how are you doing? i didnt hear from you last night."

alright, she doesnt seem mad.

"great. And sorry i didnt call, i was soo tired!  But ya im all settled in and really enjoying myself. It is really nice to see Aunt Chrissy."

"how is hse doing by the way? you know with her business and all." Maybe mom is trying to cover it, but i can tell she really cares about Chrissy.

"She's doing good, mom. The boutique is doing great, and she reallly loves it.  She's busy, but she says its well worth it."

"Good, good. So i have a question for you sweetheart."

"Yeah?" uh oh, what did i do

"well see, you know you were adopted from Balby, you know, kina by Doncaster?"

"yeah?"

"well, i still have the contact information from the family which we adopted you from.  Well, i taked to the family, now i know this is very personal, but if you want, and you dont have to, they said they would drive down to london and meet you.  They said just a little dinner, but they would like to see how youve grown. I mean i would understand if you dont, but if you do they can do it 3 weeks from Friday if that works.  Aly, are you still there?"

oh my god. i would love to see them!!! but wait, they didnt want me, maybe i dont. but then i will spend my whole life wondering..... ughhhhhh!........

I think i'll do it

"Yeah hey mom sorry....umm... yeah i'll do it. Tell them that day will work. what time?"

"oh well i will get back to you with the time and plave, they werent sure if you'd agree so we didnt get into details. so i need to bring your sister to a friends but have fun, be safe, and i'll talk to you later! love you"

"byee love you too" i say over the phone as i hear it click off on the other end. 

I dont know wether its vecause im 17 and only have 1 more year of high school to go, or its because im in London, but i feel great! Young and free, i am ready to go explore London.

I grabbed my phone,wallet and shoulder bag as i run out of the house, down the street to explore the city infront of me.  

I hope you guys liked Chapter 1! Chapter 2 will be here soon!
