Jubilee Line

Chapter 2: I hate to see you leaving

TW// Death, Homophobia/Transphobia, Divorce

My 17th Birthday and I was spending it by myself for the first time. I had come out as asexual and non-binary to my mum and my father a few weeks after the accident and they had also told me that they were divorcing and with that news, both of them didn't want me to stay with them until I was old enough. Phil was in America and was moving back in a few weeks but I didn't have enough money to support the rent in a flat near him. I thought of moving to Brighton but I thought it would be best to move to London with the education that they upheld. I was in college, about to take my biology A-Level and I was studying in the middle of Trafalgar Square when I saw the time. 11:50, 30 minutes until I sit the exam. My birthday and doing an exam, never saw it coming. I ran down the stairs to the Jubilee Line as I saw the time ticking away. I saw a message show up on my apple watch that my parents gave me before my 16th Birthday. It was from Phil wishing me good luck and that he wants to see me soon. The time was 12:15 and I had just come off the train. I sprinted through the heavy smoke, cleaning my glasses as I ran.

I got to the college with a minute to spare, my lungs coughing up smoke from the midday rush of cars. My tutor ushered me into the exam area and I was shocked to see who was stood there, my father glanced a look at me, then looked away his face moulded into a disgusted look. The exam had started and my dad walked around, coming straight to my desk. I felt this sudden drop in my stomach, his emotions clearly projecting through his facial expressions. I fell sick and I was trying to ignore that this was happening by completing my exam questions. An hour later, I heard the invigilator shout that the time was up and if we left our papers on our desk, she will come and collect them. I ran straight out and went to look for apartments in Brighton as that is the only true thing surrounding the job that I am going for. 

Oh Yeah, I forgot to introduce myself. My names Eli and I'm 17 years old and I live down in London and Brighton. I am a student working at the London College of Veterinary Medicine. I use They/Them Pronouns and is a literal confused person as a whole. I also Twitch stream quite often with my friends.

I was going to move in with Phil but in reality, he does live in an apartment in Brighton and it's a one -bedded apartment as well so I looked around and saw this two-bedded apartment with a whole office next door. I looked at how much it would be per month and it was £100 per month with rent from the office which was £20 so I booked to go and have a look round over tomorrow.

I had noticed Phil said about hotels and as he isn't back from the USA, I could stay over at his apartment overnight and that his landlord knows that so I can go get the keys
