Chapter 4

Note : this is a short chapter but it has some very important details! I hope you all enjoy it.

Chapter 4

    I wake up to my alarm clock buzzing right by my ear, I slowly move my arm out of the piles of various sheets and try to find the clock in the dark. Once I reached the clock and hit snooze, I got out of bed realizing that its 4 am. I had almost forgotten that today was the day I would be leaving to London.

    I started to brush my teeth hoping that the minty taste would help wake me up, but it didn't do much. As i’m still brushing my teeth I make my way back to my bedroom slowly putting my final things into a backpack, a book, phone charger, the regular necessities, you get it.

    Once I was all dressed I was ready to go. I had to move quickly and quietly because I hadn't told anyone in my family that i was leaving. I had written a note last night, so when my mother wakes up she knows that I am safe.

   

Dear Mother.

        I know you are probably worried right now, because

        you have realized that I am gone. I cannot really explain

        where I am, but I am safe. I will call you once I arrive

        at my destination.

                    Love,

                        Tao

    I was crossing my fingers as I set the letter on the kitchen counter, hoping that she wouldn’t freak out, and just trust that I can take care of myself.

    I had purposely parked further away than usual, because I didn't want the car engine starting to make anyone wake up.

    Once I was out of the neighborhood and made my way onto the freeway, I finally let myself turn the music on.

    The radio started blasting a song, making my heart jump out of my throat for a split second.

    My favorite station was 101.3 KDWB, the station where it plays all the hit songs, and the song Night Changes by One Direction comes on.

    The beginning of the song where Zayns soft voice come on always gives me goosebumps, and made me almost melt into the drivers seat.

    The song began to make my body slowly sway side to side, I didn't even notice until the song had ended, I was a little embarrassed, but frankly I didn’t give a shit.

    I always got made fun of by my closest friends, because I listen to One Direction, but I mean it’s not my fault that they are fucking talented and attractive, I mean what's not to like about them?

   

                        ----

    Once I had arrived and parked in the airport, I grabbed my bags and headed inside. The security line where they check all your bags was long, and I mean stretching all the way to the entrance door long.

    “well, shit!” I mouthed, making a few parents turn their heads in a rude manner, and pulling their children closer to them, and just then I found out that the security line was no longer the worst thing in this airport.

    In the corner of my eye I catch a glimpse of some long blonde curly hair, and an ever so familiar body. It was Victor.

    Just as I saw him, he had seen me, and I have never seen him smile that big in his whole life.

    He starting running… no scratch that, he started fuking galloping over towards me in the line, and at the same time I was trying to duck behind people hoping that he would lose me in the crowd of people.

    My overall plan that took me 2 seconds to come up with had failed. I was no longer the Queen of running away from my problems.

    “ Ta-o-o-o”, panted Victor as he had finally arrived by my side. He grabbed my hand and before he could even try to interlock his fingers with mine, I ripped my hand away, wiping his sweat off my hands and onto my jeans and replied with,

    “ What the fuck are you doing here? You’re so goddamn selfish, did you know that Vic?” I screamed in his face pushing his chest back with my right arm. He looked utterly shocked, like he was expecting me to be happy to see him and be like “ Oh! Vic! You’ve come to save me from this offley dreaded place! Please Vic! Take me home and let me make love to you!”. That would be the last thing I would say in this moment.

    “Please…” Vic barely breathed out.

    “ Please what Vic?” I struck back at him.

    “ Please, just stay” He got out. “ stay for me, stay for your friends, stay for your family. You’re making a big mistake and I needed to stop you before you actually went through with this, I…” He paused to breath, “ I never thought you were serious about this.” He dropped his shoulders from their tense state and slowly moved his head so his eyes could meet mine, he grabbed my chin ever so gently and smiled, “ please”, he said one last time.

    I looked him in the eye, telling that he truly needed me to stay, but I couldn't let this opportunity go. I needed to find Violet more than anything right now, and that is the only thing my minds wants to focus on right now.

    “ I can’t”, I quietly speak dragging my attention to the ground, and he just gives up. His hand was slowly slipping past me.

    “ I thought I meant more to you than 2 words”, He choked out. I could tell he was holding back his tears, but as soon as he was out of sight, he would let them show, he would let the tears run down his soft, pale face.
