Song: Shirtsleeves - Ed Sheeran.
"Yeah. Im okay." She sniffles.
"You don't seem really okay to me." I try to keep my excitement for finding her here down. It's not the right timing I suppose.
"I better not trouble you with my problems," she gets up to leave but I grab her wrist. She turns her head in my direction and I give her a small smile.
"Shall we go for a walk? And you can say what has happened to you."
"I suppose, I can use some help." She smiles at me and I get up as we start to walk into the dark alleys.
"So, what's wrong?"
"Life." She sighs.
"Life is always a pain in the ass. So sorry to break you the news." I joke.
"Jeez...thanks" She giggles.
"So?"
"I like that certain someone, or maybe love him." She exhales. "Ugh...it's so complicated." She buries her face in her palms.
My heart sinks at her confession and my gaze diverts down to my moving feet. "And?"
"And he doesn't like me back. I mean- I saw him snogging another girl and...it hurt you know. " A tear rolls down her cheek and a loud sob comes from her lips. I move my palm and wipe away her tears.
"Screw him." I smile.
"I should." She chuckles.
"Of course you should. You're a beautiful and very charming girl. Don't let an asshole ruin you. You're probably too good for him." I smile sympathetically at her.
"Thank you." She chuckles lightly. "Wait, what's your name?"
"Liam. Liam Payne." I extend my hand.
"Emerald Thompson." She shakes my palm. "Have I met you before?" She quizzically raises her brow.
"Yes."
"Really? When?"
"I come here since last Friday at 10:50 for tea."
"Really?" She asks bewildered.
"Yes, really."
"You know what Liam?"
"What?"
"You're cute."

I'm on a roll
