I was sat in the after party but I was by myself because everybody else was up dancing.
"Hi" said Leo as he sat in the chair next to me.
"Hey" I said quietly.
"I heared that you broke up with Caleb" he said looking down.
"Yeah , it wasn't working for me" I said.
"Can I talk to you?" he asked.
"Sure , why don't we go outside?" I asked. We walked out and stood in the garden. It was snowing and I was freezing. Leo noticed me shivering and took off his jacket and put it around me.
"Thank you" I said.
"I'm going home in 9 days" he said "And I really like you Sarah. I think we could get back together again , will you think about it?"
"Leo , I don't know" I said "It will be too hard because we're too far apart"
"Please just think about it , I might be going home in nine days but I could stick around for a while" said Leo. I didn't know what he was talking about. How could he stick around? He has to go back to the UK.
"I don't know Leo. I'll think about it but , this is just going to get messed up like last time , sorry" I said and then I walked back inside so that he wouldn't see me cry. Obviously I still love him. I didn't feel like staying at the party after that so I said my goodbyes to everybody and then I got in a cab and went home. It would have been too hard to walk home because I was in heels and it was snowing.
When I got to my house I payed the cab driver and got out of the cab. When I walked up to the front door I remembered that I didn't have my keys with me. I was fed up at this point. I realised that I was still wrapped up in Leo's jacket. I quickly took off the jacket and ran into my back yard , leaving the jacket on the front step being slowly covered in fresh falling snow.
I stood at the bottom of the tree in my garden and looked up at my old tree house. I had helped my dad build the treehouse when I was just five years old. I took off my heels and left them on the ground while I climbed up the wooden ladder to the treehouse. In there I found it just how I had left it the last time I had used it. A pillow and a blanket on the floor in the corner , a flashlight on the window ledge and my guitar leaning against the wall. I grabbed the flashlight because it was pitch black and sat down in the corner and wrapped myself up in the blanket while I cried my eyes out. When I had cried out every possible tear I turned on the flashlight and started shining it around the treehouse taking in every detail of it. I began to think - I love Leo but I'm turning him down because it's difficult , am I being unreasonable? Could this actually work? - I don't know.
When I was shining my flashlight around the room I noticed that one of the planks of wood that made up the floor was loose. I crawled over to it and noticed that there was something hidden beneath. I moved the wood and picked up a quite big wooden box. Then I moved the wood back and went back to the corner with the box.
I opened the box and saw a note attatched to the lid.
Dear future self ,
You're probobly still in Tennessee right now , where you belong. You never really come up to the tree house , I never really come up to the tree house either. Because I'm you , I probobly know what you're going through. You're only here because Leondre Devries is back in your life and you need to think , I know you because I am you and I know that you're probobly feeling very weakened right now and you just want to hide away and you probobly want to do something very stupid right now but before you do , look inside this box and then ask yourself "is it still too hard for you?"
From your younger self - you're going to grow up and be an amazing person.
I smiled to myself. How did I know that this was going to happen yet I didn't see it coming? I began looking through everything in the box. Some of them were pictures of me and Leo , Charlie was in some too. Then I came across a small diary. I opened it and read it. It was the diary that I kept before , during and just after I went to Wales. This is what the very first page said:
Dear Diary ,
Tomorrow I'm moving to somewhere called Port Talbolt. It's in Wales which is right next to England! Will I drink lots of tea? (How stereotypical of me). I wonder if people will like me? I hope they do. Taylor keeps going on about me maybe meeting a boy but I think she's cray cray but I love her and I'll miss her. I'll miss Josh aswell. Maisy got flown over on a plane full of animals yesterday so hopefully she'll be meeting us there. I have to stop writing now because I have to finish packing.
A/n - The next chapter is the diary
If you don't want to read the diary then go to chapter sixteen but chapter fifteen will give you an inside on what Sarah was feeling like
