Chapter One

'Smile'

Rory's POV

I sat there on my new but actually old iMac and wondered how my life was every going to change. I sat and sat just looking at the screen, waiting impatiently for it to load. It was new to me only. Realistically it was about 3 years old and ancient compare to another computer I had used but I wasn't complaining. I had my begged father for it in the shop but he refused. Instead I landed extra babysitting jobs and saved any money I could. Only dipping into the fund for an odd album or DVD I had seen in HMV or Zavvi. After 3 months of hard resitition and a loan of 100 euros, it was mine. All I had to do now was wait for it to load. I had waited this long, another few minutes wouldn't hurt.

To occupy my mind I decided I would name my new Mac. I pondered and tried to decide was it either a girl or a boy. Unable to decide I agreed that I could only call it a unisex name. In the end I choose the name "Charlie" after Bella's dad Chief Swan in The Twilight Saga. I was obsessed with the books. I went to see the move 8 times in the cinema! A record I think. Even the guy in the cinema asked me had I seen it enough times yet. My answer was always no.

Finally it loaded and I was able to use my Charlie. I decided after I had set a background and a theme, I would download all my albums to iTunes. It was going to take awhile with 254 albums to download. Music is my life and the time spent arranging all these albums was just a small price to pay. I decided to add all my classical music first so it would calm me down when I uploaded the rest of the albums.

23 albums I decided to take a break and get a drink. I was just grabbing water from the fridge when my phone vibrated in my pocket. 'Louise' popped up on the screen. I flipped up my phone to answer.

'Hey Lou.'

'Hello Rory.'

'How are you?'

'Good you?'

'Wrecked.'

'Aw. What's up?'

'Just downloading my music onto my new iMac. That's all. You?'

'Wait! You got it? When? Why didn't you ring me?'

'Sorry, no credit. Kinda broke since I brought an new computer and all.'

'I suppose. Want me to call over?'

'Yeah sure. C'ya in a bit.'

'Bye.' And there was a click at the other end of the receiver. I shut my phone back down and shoved it back into my pocket. I picked my water up and decided to head back up to my room.

I entered my room, which was still bright, compared to the time. I suppose the white walls are the cause. They are illuminated in the dark. I sat down back on the chair located next to the desk holding "Charlie" and placed my water on the desk. I switched the disk that was currently uploading and put in my Son Of Dork album. They were fifth in my line of favourite bands, tied with Reemer. Finally my phone buzzed with a test from Lou telling me that she was at the door. Usually I would have the door on the latch already if I new she was coming but I forgot today. I was pre-occupied with "Charlie". I ran down the stairs and opened the door. Revealing Louise in a black tracksuit bottom, a blue tracksuit top and a pair of white and blue nikeys.

'Hey.' Louise screeched. Someone was after giving her coke.

'Okay who gave it to you?' I questioned.

'My mam brought a new two litre today and I haven't had it in ages, so I kinda drank it all,' She announced while kinda crouch herself for protection incase I gave out to her.

'Lou you had like ten cans yesterday here.' She kinda made a 'hehe' noise and ran up the stairs, more than likely into my room. She wasn't the greatest at hiding. I trudge up the stairs and into my room.

'I can see you under the covers you know.'

'Oh your no fun.' She moaned while untangling herself from the green sheets.

'What age are you? 5? Come on seriously grow up.'

'I am 18 and older than you. Get over yourself.' I sighed and motioned her over to "Charlie".

'What do ya think?'

'Nice. I love it. Whatcha name it?'

'Charlie.'

'Your obsessed with that name.'

'So? Your point being?' I laughed. Lou just threw her eyes up to haven.

'So what were ya up to before I called and commanded you over here?'

'Hanging with my mam. But then I had nothing better to do, so I said I give you a ring. You?'

'Uploading the mac.' I smiled.

'Put on some music. God knows you have enough of it.'

'Okay.' I clicked iTunes on shuffle and hit play. And the open cords of "Five Colours" filled my room.

'God, will I ever get to meet Doug.'

'I know how you feel. It's as if I have to meet one of them but waiting for it to happen is horrible.'

'God, the boy doesn't know how much I'm in love with him.'

'No, he doesn't.'

'So what do ya wanna do?' Louise asked as she plonked herself down on my bed.

'Wanna play my bass?' I grinned.

'Oh Douglas. How could I have forgot you?' She murmured while picking up my emerald green glitter bass.

'You know you really should get one.'

'Yeah, but my mam won't let me. I already have four guitars, a keyboard and a grand piano.'

'Yeah, I suppose.' She laughed but then started playing. I decided to text Mattie to come over.

'Mattie's on her way over.'

'Alright.' In a matter of minutes there was a knock on the door. I went down to reveal Mattie at the door wearing a batman hoodie, black skinny jeans and a pair of black cons.

'Hi.' She smiled.

'Upstairs.' She raced up the stairs. I followed in pursuit.

'Hello young grass hopper.' Lou smiled at Mattie.

'Did she have coke?'

'What made you think that?' I replied sarcastically. Mattie laughed.

'Buttheads I'm trying to practice here.' Lou gritted.

'Sorry.' I snorted.

'Oh you got it.' Mattie smiled.

'Yeah. I named it Charlie.'

'Nice.'

'Thanks.'

'I'm playing your drums.'

'Okay. Where's my magical xylophone?' I laughed. (Radio:ACTIVE DVD, when McFLY are on their way back from T4 on the beach, they are playing with these electrical instrument yokes and Danny plays 'One For The Radio' on it. Well I decided to name them 'Magical Xylophones' as I don't know the name of them. :P)

'Here.' Mattie called while throwing it in my direction.

'What do ya wanna play?' Mattie questioned.

'Smile?' Lou suggested.

'Okay.' I shrugged. We sat there for over two hours playing random songs until finally my mum came in with pizza, sprite and 'Ben And Jerrys' in hand,

'I have big news.' She announced.'

'What?' I questioned.
