A/N: McFan Of Dougie, Thanks for reviewing and since you think i'm rushing it, i'll try to make it up to you with this chapter.
Disclamer: You can't actually own someone, so basically I don't own McFly or anything copyrighted here. Thanks and goodnight.
Chapter 1: I Wanna Hold You
"Mummy. I love you," A young 5 year old Lorraine said as she looked into her mothers eyes.
"I love you too sweetheart," Her mum, Catherine, replied hugging her while touching her curly brown hair.
"Mummy, who's my daddy?" Her mothers eyes started to fill with tears.
Lorraine and her mother lived in a rundown apartment which they could barely keep because of the lack of money. Her mother was a college student and made a huge mistake by having an affair with a married man. Of course, she got pregnant and has to quit school. This man ran back to his wife and kids, while she had to work as some waitress just so that she could keep herself and daughter alive. She had dignity and pride then to run back to that man, or threaten him. Lorraine was occasionally bullied by her fellow school mates as she didn't have a father. It took her a lot of courage to ask her mother who her father was, but she was just an innocent curious 5 year old.
"You don't need a daddy darling. You have me," The tone in her mothers voice was obviously hurt. Even a 5 year old could tell that. Lorraine kept quiet and hugged her mother. She could feel her mothers tears running down, and they landed on Lorraine's clothes. Together they laid on the mattress, as her mother couldn't afford a proper bed. Her mother soon fell asleep crying but little Lorraine stayed awake, thinking with her little brain. She vowed to work hard and have a high flying job. That way she could impress whoever her father was and maybe he'll come back to her mother. Those were the dreams of a naïve 5 year old. That was the last time Lorraine asked her mother about who her father was.
13 years after that...
Lorraine was now a young woman, a beautiful one at that. She was 5'5, with curly brown hair which was last cut when she was 10. It was now so long, it reached her bum. She had blue eyes which mesmerized anyone who looked into it. She didn't look much like her mother as she only had her mothers little button nose. I must look like my father she thought bitterly each time she looked into the mirror.
She was sitting by the door, waiting for mail to arrive. She had applied to several universities and colleges but she hoped to get into one of the most exclusive colleges in London, and that happened to be The Imperiall College. All through school she worked hard and smart. She managed to be one of the top students in school and constantly received taunts about what a smart ass, nerd, geek she is. It wasn't hard to ignore especially with the help of her friend, Stephanie by her side. Stephanie may not be as bright as Lorraine, but she indeed smart. It was close to impossible to be as smart as Lorraine, unless you were Einstein.
A song came out from the radio while Lorraine was waiting for her mail. It was one of her favourites, I Wanna Hold You – McFly. She started singing along as McFly was one of her few favourite bands. She loved music but didn't really have time for it. She remembered a moment when she showed her mother a picture of McFly, obviously her favourite band, and pointed out each member one by one. "This one's Harry, the drummer, and this is none other than THE DANNY JONES," she excitedly told her mother.
"J-jo-nes?" Her mother was kind of surprised. She looked at the picture then looked at Lorraine, back and forth. She could easily see the similarities.
"My friends tell me I look like him, but a girl version!" McFly was her first crush. You can't blame her for being so ecstatic when she talks about them. She's always had a thing for Dougie, but she knew the difference between dreams and reality, and never let her hopes get ahead of her.
"You shouldn't be so happy about a boy band! You're just a student! Go and study!" Her mum snapped at her. It was kind of shocking, especially since her mother rarely shouts at her. She felt like bursting in tears. She felt as if she was being slapped. Ever since that incident, she has never brought up anything about McFly with her mother.
"Tell me that you need me, so much more than I need youuuuuu..." She sang loudly while dancing by the door. She was to busy singing to realise that mail has arrived. "I wanna hold you baaaddddd!" The song soon ended. She remembered how much fun it was to sit around and play air guitar. It felt like ages since the last time she had done that.
"Thank you WORLD!" She laughed by herself and walked back to the door to see if post has arrived. She went through the letters one by one, there were a few about the rent. Usually Lorraine would get all worried when she gets those letter, with her worst fears in her mind, but this time, she couldn't care less. She has more important things to think about. Shuffling through the envelopes quickly, she sorted her letters with The Imperial College letter right at them bottom.
'Rrrpppp' She tore the envelope and read the first letter from Liverpool Hope University.
Dear Lorraine Serena Powells,
Congratulations on your acceptance to the Liverpool Hope University...
"YESS! ONE DOWN! 6 MORE TO GO!" She screamed out loud to herself. The experience was exciting. She then opened the next one from Manchester Metropolitan University.
Dear Lorraine Serena Powells,
Congratulations on your acceptance to the Manchester Metropolitan University...
After ripping then envelopes of 6 letters, she had managed to be accepted in all but one college had put her on wait list. This made her nervous as it was time to open the final letter, the college which she had wanted to go to ever since she was a child of 8 years. Was there a chance of her being accepted? Her hands were shaking as ripped open the white envelopes of The Imperiall College.
Dear Lorraine Serena Powells,
Congratulations on you acceptance to The Imperiall College, London. You are now challenged with making the very important decision of selecting...
She had fucking made it! Her mother soon came home. She walked through the door and saw Lorraine cry with tears of happiness and a huge smile on her face. Lorraine ran and hugged her mother. "MUM! I got accepted!" Lorraine jumped up and down, holding the Imperiall College acceptance letter.
"I've always had faith in you sweetie!" her mother replied sincerely.
"But, I'm gonna leave you!" Lorraine suddenly thought about how awful it would be to leave her mum. They've always had a strong bond together.
"Well, the time had to come! I won't mind, as long as you visit me!" Her mum smiled at her. "So, to celebrate, where do you wanna go for dinner?"
"Suprise me!" She knew her mother didn't have much money and decided to see where her mother would take her.
"You better freshen up then," Lorraine soon went into her room. No matter how happy she was about being accepted into college. She also had to do one thing. Find her father.
Her mother brought her out to eat at a nice seafood restaurant near St. Elmers road. The prices were slightly expensive. At first Lorraine didn't want to order anything feeling sorry for her mother. Then she remembered what she was about to ask her mother and thought that she wouldn't be able to ask on an empty stomach. Dinner was a quiet affair. Catherine kept talking to Lorraine, but Lorraine was just to nervous to actually talk. When the plates were taken, Lorraine faced Catherine and it took a lot of guts to ask what she last talked about 13 years ago. She held her mums hand and breathed in.
"Mum, this is important,"
"I don't see what's more important than your acceptance but go ahead,"
"Mum, i wanna know who my father is."
Long? I know. It's to make up for the last chapter.
