My lips tremble as I see the walkers march by.

They all have a destination. Somewhere to go. Somewhere to be.

Where's my destination? Where do I have to be?

Will I ever be wanted anywhere?

My cheeks flare as a single tear rolls down my cheek but is wiped away quickly.

"Excuse me?" A male voice speaks behind me and scares me in my moment of sadness.

Wiping my nose quickly and smiring the lasting makeup on my face down my cheek I turn around to see the stranger.

His hazel eyes widen with the unexpected shock of my crying. His hair is ruffled with streaks of blond in the chestnut mess sitting on his head. His plump lips are pale. But the eyes... They just shine out to me. So very recognisable.

"Yes?" My voice is strong compared to my outer appearance.

"Sorry.. Um I just was going to ask if I could have this seat?" His hand sits on the top of the wooden chair opposite me indicating that one.

But there was empty seats everywhere why mine?

"Um yeah sure go ahead." I turn back around to the street but interrupted yet again.

"Miss?" The same voice, "are you okay?"

"No." I sniff.

"Okay.."

Turning around again I notice the male had sitten down and set out a number of newspapers.

"Um. I'm.. Sitting here.." This is so confusing.
