I packed the last bits in my bag and took one final look at my room

Emma- I'm going to miss you loads! FaceTime me all the time!

Elena- of course I will! I'm going to miss you, I love you

Emma- I love you too!

I headed out the door and put the rest of my things in the boot of the car. Then I got in and waved to Emma. Then headed off.
My names Elena brookes. I'm 22 years old and I'm moving to go and live with a boyband. I graduated university just over a year ago now, I was doing graphic design and art. I'm now fully qualified. A few months ago I went to a family party where I reunited with one of my oldest friends Mikey Cobban. We were best friends in school and college but drifted when we left home to start our careers. He introduced me to road trip and a little while later had an interview for their new photographer and photo editor/ designer. It doesn't sound like much but it's a big deal for me.
Before I was living with my best friend Emma. We've known each other since we were 3 and have been inseparable since. We went to school, college and even university together. I'm sad to leave her but I know she'll be happy, now that her fiancé is moving in.
2 hours in and I'm 5 minutes away from the house. I I always forget which house is theirs but there's a weird shaped tree that tells me I'm a couple of houses away. I see the house and pull in the driveway. Im instantly greeted by mikey and Andy

Mikey- hey! Finally, been waiting ages!

Elena- sorry, was a lot of traffic!

Andy- welcome home

I got butterflies. Home... wow

Elena- thank you! Im so excited and also grateful

Andy- well we've always said your welcome to stay

I just laughed. The others came out and greeted me too. Mikey and Brooklyn helped carry my things inside. There wasn't much. Two suitcases full of clothes. A box full of shoes, accessories etc and another box for everything else. There was 6 rooms upstairs. My room was next to ryes room.

Andy- call if you need anything

Elena- thank you!

I shut the door and looked around. There was already a small double bed, a wardrobe and a tall set of draws. Mikey had said he had already hoovered and cleaned which I was very grateful for. I opened my suitcase and started hanging up my clothes in the wardrobe and folding everything else away into the draws. A little while passed and there was a knock at the door

Elena- come in!

I looked up and saw Andy, he was smiling, he had two cups of tea in his hand, he leaned down and passed me one as I was sitting on the floor.

Andy- messy aren't you

I giggled

Elena- well you've got to get messy before becoming clean

Andy- true. We're going to IKEA tomorrow, want to come?

Elena- yeah I'd love that, Oh I'm sorry about you and Courtney, I know you liked her

Andy- ah don't worry about it, guess she wasn't the right person

Elena- well there's plenty more fish in the sea

Andy- haha yeah, anyways, want some help?

Elena- actually yeah I could use your help, there's a box over there full of books, could you put them on that shelf over there, thank you

Andy- anytime

Andys POV

Plenty more fish in the sea, of course. I met a girl a few months ago called Courtney. We spoke for a month and then decided to date. Which is strange for me because I like to leave it a good couple of months before making things official. But I guess I have girlfriend fever. But she lived in Manchester and long distance wasn't really my thing. I kept thinking she would cheat on my but I was mostly worried about being alone again. We broke things off last week after a week of arguing. It didn't hurt at all, well it only hurt me being alone again...
