Day 1

Emily's P.O.V

"Emily that's it!" Mom shouted out side my locked door. "First you drop out of school, then you go get tattoos and piercings and now you sit locked in your bedroom 24/7 and I'm just sick of it! It's time you got out for a bit of air!"

Wow this is the first time she's acted like she even gives a shit.

"What do you care!?" I shout back my voice cracking as my throat is sore from crying.

"She doesn't care. You're just a worthless piece of shit." The voice inside my head tells me.

"Emily for heavens sake just take a walk!" God my mother can be a bitch at times fighting with me over stupid things.

"FINE FOR FUCKS SAKE I'LL GO!" I run out of my room slamming the door behind me, down the stairs and out the door. I keep running until I get to the corner of the street, then I stop to put my earphones in.

From there I walk to the park, keeping my head down. I sit next to a tree facing a duck pond. It was a Wednesday morning so it was quiet enough. I sat there alone for a while until I was joined by a boy, aged around 17 or 18. He had a mix of blue and purple hair like a galaxy of swirls and stars. He was gorgeous. He sat down beside me and sighed.

"Hey I'm Michael" He greeted me with a smile, he had a thick Australian accent.

"Emily" I reply taking out my earphones forcing a smile back at him.

"I like your tattoo" he puts his hand on my shoulder and pulls down the strap of my tank top so you could fully see my tattoo. "Run, run lost boy they say to me away from all of reality " He sang the words sweetly and in perfect tune, his voice was one of an Angels.

"You're a good singer" I whisper awkwardly, looking away from him and pulling back up the strap"

"Thank you, but I'm not really compared to my friends"

"You are by the sounds of it"

He smiles and stands up. "Want to come on a walk with me?"

"May as well, mum doesn't want me back for another while anyways" I stand up and put my earphones in my pocket. We walked along the path around the park for a few minutes in silence. Until Michael speaks.

"It really is a beautiful world."

"Not really. There's a lot of bad things out there"

"Like what?"

"Not every person is nice and smiley. Not every flower is bright and colourful. Not every building is done up and modern. Nothing is as amazing as it seems or it's given credit for. It's the horrible people, the dark and dead flowers, the run down old buildings and the fucked up society that is killing people by making them feel like if they only see these things, it's all they deserve and making them give up their hopes for a new life with the colours and light." I ramble on but regret it immediately. "That probably makes no sense I'm sorry"

"No , no. That was pretty accurate." Michael stops me and turns me to face him. "You're not very happy in this place are you?" I just look down and shake my head. "It's horrible and sometimes I just want to leave" tears are almost escaping my eyes at this point.

Michael pulls me in for a hug and I hug back. It's amazing how much of an influence one stranger can be in just one day.

"Give me your phone" knowing what he wanted it for I unlocked my phone and handed it to him. He put in his number and saved it. "Call me once you get home okay?" I nod and he hugs me again. He kisses the top of my head gently.

"See you around Emily" Michael waves at me walking away.

"Bye Michael" and I walk back home.
