Chapter 1:

Finally, after a year, I get to go back to Stratford to visit my old friends. The only person I was eager to see was Sophie Grace. I've known her since I was four and she was three. I loved her so much; I couldn't imagine my life without her so not seeing her in a year was peer torture.

When I got to the Stratford airport I saw a petite girl rushing towards me with open arms.

"JUSTIN!" screamed the petite girl.

I was so startled at first. I didn't know who was rushing towards me but then I realized who it was. It was Sophie.

"Sophie!" I said happily, a big grin appearing on my face.

She jumped into my arms, causing all my luggage to fall but I couldn't care less. I was just happy I get to see my little girl again.

"I missed you so much Justin! How are you?" asked Sophie enthusiastically. I forgot how cheery she was.

"I'm good but I missed you a lot too and by the way, you look stunning," I said, giving her a playful wink.

Sophie giggled and blushed but I wasn't lying. Sophie did look stunning from the last time I saw her. Even though she was still short, she looked more grown up. Her old jet-black curls were now dark brown and straight. Her side bangs made her look so cute. Her puppy dog brown eyes glittered happier then before. Her purple camisole and jeans really showed off her body.

"So catch me up with everyone going on in your life," I asked Sophie, making a conversation in the car ride.

Sophie started thinking and then talked for a long time about everything that's going on. She was always the talkative type of girl!

"So any girls you digging?" asked Sophie, giving me a playful punch in the arm.

I chuckled and shook my head.

"Any guys?" I asked, raising my eyebrow at her.

She laughed and shook her head too.

"I really missed you…" I heard Sophie whisper quietly, looking out the window as if she didn't want me to hear.

My heart sunk a little. When I left Stratford, I remember her saying that she's afraid I'll forget about her once I get really famous.

"Baby girl, you were on my mind every second I was away from you," I said, smiling.

Sophie looked at me, studying my expressions then giving a big smile.

We finally got back to my house in Stratford and I thanked Mrs. Grace for giving me a drive. Sophie had dance class so she had to leave. I decided to unpack and just relax. Once I entered the house, I was very surprised.

"WELCOME HOME!" yelled all my close friends and family from Stratford enthusiastically.

My two best friends Ryan and Chaz were there and many others.

"Wow thanks guys!" I said, giving everyone a hug.

I talked to my friends for a while and just caught up with everything that was going on. I was taking a drink from the kitchen when Caitlin came up to me.

"Hey Bieber," said Caitlin, standing next to me.

I didn't really know what to say. I told everyone that Caitlin and I broke up because of me travelling but that was a big lie. It was because I found out Caitlin was cheating on me with my old best friend, Connor.

"Oh hi Caitlin," I said, looking away from her.

Caitlin got closer to me and smiled.

"So how is it being famous?" she asked, trying to make small talk.

I just shrugged and finished my drink, deciding to leave. Before I could take a step, Caitlin pulled me back.

"Look, I'm sorry about what happened between us before," said Caitlin, her eyes saddening.

I sighed and ran my hand through my hair.

"It doesn't matter anymore Caitlin, I'm done with the past," I mumbled and walked away.
