Okay, so just a disclaimer, I do not own Niall or any of the members of One Direction. Anything that happens in this story is purely made up and anything that happens in real life close to the story is completely coincidental.
Also, I am nowhere near done with my Jacksgap fanfic, it just got interesting, I'll be writing both. Don't get panicky if I don't update on one or the other, I have a busy life :) (lol, probs just writing more chapters) So without further ado, I present The Direction I Never Knew!
"I've never done anything so exhilarating before. This was just incredible. I looked back at the glass behind me. 'I can't believe it' I whisper to myself." I read from a story.
"Miss, what's 'exmilitating'?" I heard a childish voice ask.
"Sorry?" I said, snapping out of my daydream.
"Exmilitating!" The voice yelped.
"Exmilitating?" I question before realising most of these kids were less than 9 years old. "Oh, Tommy, you mean 'exhilarating'. It's like... when something you do or a place where you are is just so awesome, it takes your breath away." I explain.
"Wow." The group chorused.
Yep, this was my life. 20 year old me. I'd spent the last 4 years volunteering at the children's group in town. Today was story day. I also work at an arts and crafts store helping paint and generally, just to help out.
"Myla. Your friend Matthew called. He's picking you up at Starbucks." I was told. I thanked the lady and grabbed my coat.
Dear... Well, you,
Hi, my name's Myla Anderson. I'm 20 years old, my twin brother's name is Mack, he's a pain sometimes. My best friend was a boy who'd gone through everything with me, his name is Matthew Mason, the one previously mentioned. I'd known him since like, forever... Our mums were besties, even before we were born. It was kinda inevitable. Matt lived next door with his two sisters, dad and mum. I used to live with my twin and dad, but Mack and I moved out.
Our dad tried to look after us since mum died, but anyone could see it was too stressful for him. So, Mack and I moved out and dad went back to Friday nights at the pub eating steak and playing pool.
He's less stressed now.
I made my way over to the Starbucks across the street where Matt was holding out a hot chocolate for me.
"Luke warm, just how you like it." He says. I hug him and take the warm drink from him. Hey, it's a cold night okay? I needed to warm up somehow. Matt was the kind of guy all the girls like. He had wavy black hair that wasn't short, but wasn't long. And big blue eyes that, not to be cheesy or anything, pierced through your soul and literally made your heart melt. He's what most girls would say is 'hot' but he's like a brother to me, like more of a brother than my own brother. He's currently dating Abby Millard, I don't like her.
Oh, by the way, Mack is a lil' shit. I know he had friends over last night, even after I told him not to. My room out the back isn't soundproof. I wish it was, but it's not. Unfortunately, I was too tired after cleaning up at work to go and yell at him.
At least Mack, Matt and I were getting away for a while. We'd all been saving up to go for a trip to England. One week away, that's all.
One week later, the three of us stood outside the airport in England, our hair scruffed and our eyes drooping and crusty with sleep.
Unfortunately it wasn't just the 3 of us. Abby tagged along, although I don't think she liked the idea either, since she was trapped between Mack and Matt the entire flight. I think she gave up on sleep after the 2nd time Mack asked her how to spell his name... Idiot.
Hey, at least we got here.
Thank you for reading this beginning, I swear it won't be long before the boys come into it. I hope you like it so far, it won't be all from Myla's point of view btw. I kind of imagine Matthew to look like Joshua Anthony Brand cause he's goddamn beautiful. So yeah, I haven't decided on how Myla or Mack look but I'll get there! Please give me some feedback, it would really help. Thank you! :D
