The Letter

I've been staying in this hotel for 5 days now, I really need to start looking for places to live and getting a job but that means actually facing new people and that scares the heck out of me. I stubbornly sat up and searched the internet for jobs. I don't desperately need a job right now, my not-around-much dad has this crazy successful business back home and clearly felt sorry for me at the only birthday party he attended of mine (my 18th), gave me £20,000 and bought me my own flat. He wanted me to go out and buy a car and do productive things with the money but so far all i've done is buy plane tickets. 

The job search was unsuccessful so I decided it was time to venture into the city centre. It was summer here in Australia, So I put on a some faded blue shorts, a loose white tshirt and a pair of blue sandals. It was exciting being alone in a new city and starting a new life for myself but my old life constantly kept creeping back in. 

Adam: DAMN IT LILLY, reply to my texts! I need to know if you got my letter! 

It didn't shock me that the letter was from him, I could tell by his scruffy handwriting but to come to think of it... I'd emptied my hand luggage bag a few days ago and I didn't see the letter in there.

"You do know that staring at it isn't gonna make it open itself" Jai mocked. "Just open it if its bothering you that much, she clearly didn't want by the looks of it"

"Do you think I should?" I asked him.

"Why the hell not... maybe you should DM her on Twitter that you have it though?" Jai replied, as he walked out of the room engrossed in his phone.

Surely it can't be anything that important if its so crumpled, but the way she forced it back into her bag on the plane was like her pushing away bad memories. I can't open it. I don't even know how to tell her that I have it, what if she gets mad and thinks I stole it? Or maybe she's forgotten all about it...

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket...

Anna: Lukey, how come you haven't spoke to me since you've been back? Did you miss me? ;)

Oh, Anna. Anna and I have this on and off fling, we'll see eachother for a few months then break it off and be back together again a few months after. It's just this constant cycle that I can't seem to escape from. There's feelings there, but Anna has feelings for everything that moves. 

Luke: Been so busy, babe!

I can't find that stupid letter anywhere! It must have gotten out of my bag again on the plane or something. I guess that's a good thing though, reading it would only bring my bad memories back again. However, to really get rid of the bad memories I need to start creating good ones - but with the lack of friends that is becoming difficult, all I seem to do is tweet, eat and sleep.

@Lilly-May9: So bored :( any suggestions of what to do in Melbourne guys?

I seemed to get a lot of tweets from 'Janoskianators' saying things like...

@sarahjanoskian5: ER HOW ARE YOU BORED IF YOU KNOW THE BOYS

@brooksbaby78: go see the boys duh

Then I noticed Jai had retweeted some of their tweets and tweeted me back saying...

@JaiBrooks1:@Lilly-May9 jeeeez yeah Lilly come and see us!!

Maybe I should take up Jai's offer, but what if he was just messing around and didn't mean it? Uggghhh why am I being such an idiot. MAN UP MAN UP.
