***ONE MONTH LATER***
Never in a million years I'd thought I would be living in a completely different city. New York felt like a whole world away from home. I never felt a vibe like this before. One month in and it was slowly starting to feel like my new home.
No matter the time, the streets were filled with an overwhelming amount of people. It had a life of its own and often I found myself drowning in the array of people.
The city was bursting with life. Vibrant colours mixed with the morning light, lit up the streets. Cars constantly zooming down the roads with the endless chatter of people around me.
I found myself perched against the large window of my tiny flat, which looked out on to the lively streets below me. My eyes slowly moved from side to side, as I watched the world go by, like I was watching a movie.
The dark night sky clouded the entire city. The mixture of hues emitted from the cars, street lights and building made up for the loss of stars. After retrieving my phone, I proceeded to go into my camera and take photos of the sights below me.
I couldn't help but drift my mind to Zac, thinking about how he would enjoy taking photos of the landscape of this breathtaking city. One month had floated and I still found myself thinking about him. Part of me wished I had never told him to go that night, but I also felt like it needed to be done. The incident from the party made me feel numb.
A sharp ring startled me out of my thoughts. My face flashed with happiness at the sight of my phone coming to life. I balanced my phone against the windowsill and proceeded to accept the three way video call from Ava and Ruby.
"Hey!" Both Ava and Ruby chimed in unison.
"Hi guys! How are you?" I excitedly replied back, as I adjusted myself in my chair.
"Missing you." Ruby pouted in a jokingly way, with Ava rolling her eyes.
"I'm missing you all too, how is everything there? How's mum and dad?" I asked, as a pang of sadness hit me at the thought of missing my parents.
As Ava began to respond to my question, I found myself thinking about Zac. I felt the need to ask about him, but I knew I couldn't. The big move to New York was my opportunity to put everything behind me, but for some reason I found my thoughts ricocheting back to him.
"What about you? How's New York?" Ruby asked as Ava fell silent.
"New York is amazing!" I rejoiced snapping out of my thoughts. "You guys have to come visit one day, it's so hectic and busy, but I love it-"
