A/N please do not be afraid to tell me what you honestly think of this story. I signed up so people would give me their honest opinion. Also I do not own R5 or Steinhardt, I only own the OC and plot (plus names that you may not recognize)

Hi my name is Lauren Jae Elizabeth Clark and I'm 18 years old. Two months ago i moved out of where I used to live, and into a smallish apartment in New York City. The apartment is a good size for one, and a small dog named Gunther! I am attending the musical school of Steinhardt. After school I work at a cafe named, well Cafe, ironically.

I figured I should start at the beginning of everything. My life has always been normal, but lately I've had to cope with a new normal. Let's go to the first day it started.

Today has been a pretty normal day. RIght now I'm on my way home from school. I have a little bit of homework to do before I go to work. I switched shifts today so me and a few of my friends could go to a concert tonight in Madison Square Garden. R5 is playing! I'm so excited! Besides One Direction they're my favorite band. So we got tickets to tonight's concert. So when I get off work I'll have plenty of time to get ready! I can't wait!

"Hello, Lauren! How's your day been?"

"Oh its been good so far, Mrs. Brown. What about you?"

"Oh its been fine. So you excited about your big night tonight?"

"Yes, very! Well it was nice talking to you I'll see you later! Oh and I'm not sure when I'll get home tonight so if I'm not back by 11 would you mind to let Gunther out?"

"No, that'll be fine. I'll talk to you later. Good day!"

"Bi!"

Oh home sweet home. Its not much, and definitely not as lmuch as where i used to live with mom and dad. But I love it.

"Hi Gunther! Hey boy!" I bent down to pet Gunther, my miniature Yorkshire terrier. He's a pretty smart puppy, but is pretty protective of things that he thinks are his.

I turned on the radio and started on my homework. I had most of it done in about two hours and then had 30 minutes to get ready before I had to go to work. "Yea...okay...Sure!...See ya later." I got off the phone since I was about to start work. I was talking to deborah about tonight. She was asking if I cared if her and our friend Anna could bring dates! But I told her I didnt care. Me, Deboraha, Anna, and our friend Carson have been planning to go to this concert for a while. I guess if they get kinda occupied with their dates I still have Carson to hang out with. I've been friends with Carson since I was a sophmore in high school, but I've been friends with Deborah and Anna since birth! We're like sisters, actually Deborah and Anna are sisters, and they treat me like one.

"Good afternoon. May I take your order sir?" I asked a tall, bald man. He was wearing boot cut jeans, a black short sleeved shirt with a black suit jacket, and black work type boots. He also had dark shades on, and that made him look like some kind of a security guy.

"Yea. I need two twelve packs, one of your croissants and one of your crapes. Also I need six medium regular lattes. And one regular coffee. To go."

"Okay that'll be $28.50" He handed me a fifty and fifty cents. "Here's your change, and I need a name for the ticket."

"Morrison."

"Okay! We'll call your name when its done."

"Thanks."

I went to work on the order. Then came back out to get the next order. In about 15 minutes the order ws done.

"Morrison!" I called the name and saw the bald headed man walk up. "WOuld you like some help to carry all that out sir?" There was too much for one person to make in one trip.

"Um...sure." I got half and he got half. We started out to his car. We walked towards a big, black Escalade.

"Um...nice car."

"Thanks." Well he wasn't very talkative that was for sure.

I went back in and finished work for the day. When I got home I had three hours till I had to meet the guys. We were going somewhere to eat vefore the concert and maybe a snack or something on the way back. We're supposed to meet at 7 because the concer is at 9. I'm not sure how long the concert will be, but I'm guessing a couple of hours.

I lied down on the couch for about an hour and a half. Then my alarm went off and I jumped up. I got out my outfit then I jumped in and took a five minute shower. I didnt have time to waste. I decided to wear a skirt. I haven't worn a skirt in a while so I decided to this time.

I went back to the bathroom and did my hair. I decided to blow dry it which took about 15 minutes and then curled it which took 30 minutes. So now I only have 45 minutes till I'm late. I did my make up and went to put my clothes on. I wore a black, short skirt that I made out of skinny jeans, a black tank top with a sparkly red tank top over it. I also wore my red jacket that's almost like leather, black and white canvas tops, black flower head band, and a British flag necklace.

Before I left I took Guntehr out and let him back in. Grabbed my wallet, keys and iPhone and left.

"Yea, I'm on my way...Okay see ya in a few." They were already there and called to see how long I'd be. I guess next time I should drice instead of walk.

We decided to go to the Outback. Once I was there I walked inside and saw Deborah waiting for me at the door. I will say I was pretty shocked when she has a date she usually gets pretty distracted.

"Hey why aren't you at the table? I couldve found it. Don't you have a date?"

"Yes, but I came out here to call you so I decided to just wait. Come on its over here."
