The end where I begin

Lauren's POV

I felt movements in the bed and someone kissing my forehead. Danny. I could have let him know I was awake, but I would much rather just stay in bed. It still felt like early hours, but since Danny was already up it was most likely not. I heard a door shut and then there was silence. He had probably gone to the studio or something, I didn't really know. He might have told me last night but to be honest I was so tired I didn't pay that much attention. Now I felt kinda bad about it, but he would understand. Anyways he would probably be back soon, if he wasn't in the studio. I opened my eyes and after a bit I spotted a note on the empty side of the bed.

'Going down to the studio. Didn't wanna wake u up. Be back tonight.

Love u lots X Danny'

I smiled to myself and put the note on the night stand. Well, since Danny's gonna be at the studio I could at least go out and do something by myself. I still had a few things to fix in my apartment, but I've been doing that ever since I got here and I was starting to get a bit tired of it. I decided to finish it up tonight and take the afternoon off. It was almost 1pm now, but Danny would probably not be finished until 12 at least so I had a lot of time. I got out of bed and took some clothes from the suitcases. I went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. It took a few minutes to get hot water, but I stepped in anyways and washed my hair and body quickly before stepping out again. With the towel wrapped around my head I put on some face cream to soften my skin. I got dressed and dried my hair with the towel before applying some simple make up. I grabbed my wallet and put on some shoes. Since I hadn't had anything to eat yet today I decided to go to a small cafe nearby and get some food and something to drink to start with. I wasn't very used to this city after only a few days here so I found a small cosy cafe a few hundred meters from my apartment, maybe this could be a good place to go, my local place. I walked up and ordered a sandwich and some tea to start with.

'That'll be 3€ please.' The woman said. I gave her the money and she accepted telling me she would come to my table with the food when it was ready. I took my cup of tea and sat down at a small table by the window so I could look out at the people walking in the streets. When I sat down like this watching people pass by I would always create stories about them and imagine their families, their work and all that. It probably sounds a bit crazy, but it's something I've always done since I was little. Then the door opened and 2 girls about my age walked in. They looked around a bit and I caught their eye. I really hate doing that cause then people always look at me not knowing whether to smile or ignore. The girls looked at me and went on with their order. They sat down at the table in front of me while looking over at me from time to time. Eventually they started talking about music, of course they also started talking about The Script which definitely caught my attention. I was still looking out the window trying not to be so obvious about the fact that I was listening. Of course I was listening. Ever since Danny and I got to know each other I've always paid attention to when people start talking about music just in case they mention The Script. I guess I just kept my eyes and ears open for anything related to them these days.

'Are you waiting for someone?' One of the girls asked. She had long brown hair. Not very dark brown, but not blonde either.

'Uhm no I'm not.' I answered awkwardly. For girls my age sitting alone in a cafe is not exactly normal so I get why they asked.

'So you're here all by yourself then, that's unusual.' The other girl said. She also had long brown hair, only darker, almost the same colour as Danny's.

'Yeah I moved here for studies only a few days ago and I don't know that many people around here, all my friends and family are back home in England.' I said taking a sip from my tea.
