She's Not Afraid!
A Blast From The Past
Lacey’s POV
As I walk off the plane and catch a cab to Northampton, I turn my phone on and am immediately bombarded with messages and missed calls. 30 from Liam, 45 from El, 38 from Niall, 60 from Zayn and Perrie, 97 from Louis, 89 from Alyssa, 109 from Bri, and 100 from Harry. I sigh and delete all of them. It’s better for right now to not respond. I need to clear my head. The cab stops at my old house and I hand the cab driver a 20. Grabbing all my stuff I knock on the door and my mum answers the door. As soon as it’s open she smiles and cries, “Lacey!” she hugs me and I hug her back crying as well. We stand there with sniffles and silence surrounding us. I got my mum back.
My mom helps me get everything inside and we unpack smiling and talking about what has happened in our lives. As I finish unpacking, mum goes downstairs and prepares dinner. I glance around my room and notice nothing has changed. I had my stuffed animal collection in order from tallest to smallest. Posters of NSYNC were covering my walls and my closet was empty with little drawings surrounding everything. I laugh as I see my pink diary from when I was 13. I open it and immediately see my warning, if you are not Lacey Jack Daniels then please close the diary and leave 20 pounds in my piggy bank. Thank You. I chuckle and slide 20 pounds in my pink piggy bank and continue to read.

Today was a great day! Jared smiled at me! An actual smile! This so awesome!
I laugh and sit the diary down. I walk over to my old chest of drawers and see my ‘goals’ list.
1.Marry a hot guy
2.Get a dog
3.Sing at a concert
4.Buy Bri a new sweater
5.Burn Bri’s ugly sweater
6.Date a star
7.Get a pretty car
8.Get a job
9.Watch Star Wars without puking
I grab a pen and cross off date a star and burn Bri’s ugly sweater. I laugh as I read the last one. I really haven’t changed much have I? I grab my phone and decide to call Bri. She answers on the first ring and I can hear someone yelling. “SHUT UP GUYS LACEY IS CALLING!” Bri screams. I laugh and then say hi. Bri scoffs, “Hi? Did you just fucking say hi?” I smile, “Yup! That’s normally what you say when you call someone.” I hear everyone groan. Well looks like I’m on speaker. “Lace when are you coming back?” I hear El’s soft voice say. “Umm I’m not going back.” I say while choking on the last word. “What? Lace please come back! I’m sorry I didn’t listen! I’m and idiot. I don’t deserve you at all I just want you back please come back. We all miss you. I miss you.” Harry speaks into the phone. I shake my head even though they cant see me, “No Harry. Go out and live your life. Don’t worry about me. I miss you too and I forgive you, but I just finally got my mom back. I’m not going to leave that. I’m sorry guys. But hey! If you want to talk to me just give me a call!” I hear footsteps and a door slam. “Did Harry just?” “Yup.” Alyssa and Perrie answer before I could finish. “Well did you guys go to your interview?” I ask trying to distract myself as to where Harry could’ve gone. “Umm no. we canceled.” Zayn says quietly. I sigh, “Because of me? Really guys!?” they all mutter yes’s and then my mom walks in, “Honey, it’s time for dinner.” I nod and say bye to everyone. Hanging up I walk downstairs and I run into something. Or rather someone. “Oh I’m sor-” I freeze and see my father and Chase standing side by side with smirks on their faces. “Hello Lacey.”
