It's cold. In fact, it's not cold, it's freezing. God, look at me, I'm an absolute mess. I mean, it's pitch black, snowing and I'm dressed in shorts, a crop top and 6 inch high heels. I sat on the park bench with my head hung low letting a few tears escape my eyes. After a while, someone came and sat next to me. Their voice was soft and gentle as they spoke to me,
"Erm, hello, are you alright?"
I slowly lifted up my head to see who was speaking. A tall boy with deep blue eyes came into my view. Just the sight of him made my heart flutter.
"Oh, yeah, I'll be fine. Just got some stuff going on," I quietly reply.
"Aw, like what?" He questioned, sounding genuinely concerned.
"Everything." I sighed, and several more tears rolled down my cheeks.
"I know we just met, but maybe if you tell me what happened, you might feel a bit better about it," he told me with genuine worry in his eyes.

I don't think you should be alone in a hotel or anything right now..." he said while gently placing his hand onto my back. I couldn't believe that someone could be so kind, we only just met, but I feel like I've known him most of my life. I just looked up at him and nodded slowly but sure. We stood up from the park bench in unison and he picked up my bag for me.
"I only just realised, I never caught your name?"
"I'm Amelia," I replied shyly.
"Aw, that's beautiful. I'm Charlie by the way" he said while putting his arm protectively around me. We carried on walking down the road with his arm still around my shoulders,
