Runaway Love

Chapter 4:

A M B E R

Bradley escorted me on my way home I'm still suspicious in his sudden kindness towards me tho we do not know each other very well but there's this side of mine that tells me to trust him and is comfortable around him.

My lil apartment that I've lived in for almost 4 years gets more and more enhanced as the years are passing by it means that I am learning to be more independent since the furnitures and the rent payment are under my responsibility, I guess we didn't have had a proper introduction huh? I've started having my job as an online translator that gave me £500 and $200 when I was still in Highschool, per successful tasks of files and that gave me an adequate amount of money to pay my own rent and such extra fees in the university I am in here's a Throwback for much more understanding.

"Dad, I wanna study in London.." I told my father while we sat and eat in the dining room with my 13 years old sister and 5 years old brother along with our step mother.

"London? Do you know how far away that place is from Boston?" He told me with much annoyance in his voice.

"Dad, I can handle myself." I said and chewed a chunk of broccoli in my mouth.

"You're a girl, how can you? You wanted to study in London where we are very far away from you yet you're still scared of Mickey mouse's hand?" He argued.

"Dad, I'm 18 I'm almost graduating I've planned this! And how many times do I have to tell you that I am not afraid of mickey mouse's hand?" I told him.

"Selfish little girl, I was just being metaphoric in that mickey mouse thing." He snorted.

"I am not selfish father, I built those goals for us not only for me you knew from the very start that I can handle myself." I sighed as I chewed another.

"Fine then, I do not want to spoil our meal with our arguement but Missy You will have to pay your bills alone in London show me that you are really independent and I will trust you well enough to study in London whenever you like, I'll pay for your tuition there but You will be the one paying your rent and other fees." He said, I've thought of this things I've planned it yes I'm stubborn so that I can reach success that I've promised my mother.

And after that meal my road to success started in a blink of an eye everyday I study hard and perform well in school and there is one year left until reality will hit me again but dramas will lessen I guess?

Okay, that's enough of my history let's proceed in the present.

Once I got home I started doing a lot of paperworks including some translating of files while looking through the folders a picture has been lying inside.

A picture of Phil and I leaning against the wall and smiling at each other.

It made me frown since memories came back rushing towards me, what happened to you Phil? Have I really moved on? I asked myself as I slowly caress the surface of the photo.

"Amber Brooks-Clyne, fits very well huh?" He said giving me his genuine smile.

"Ofcourse.." I beamed and gave him a small smile.

"I love you, Amber." He said and stared at me like I'm his only world.

"I love you too.." I tried fighting back the blush in my veins and gave him a giggle.

Too soon, too bad, so much pain.

And we stopped talking on January 17,2015

"I—I just had a cool off you know, I—I still have the banana feelings for you.." He said through text on January 12 this 2016.

"I have a problem, a very huge one.. But I promise We will have our comeback soon." He left me again on January 16,2016.. How lovely can life get?

I didn't noticed that tears are dripping off my cheeks when my phone rings. First, I just stared who's the caller it's the number I used to know even if it does not have a name, I used to recieve texts from..

"What?" I answered coldly and briefly as I can.

"Delete our pictures on facebook please and don't come near me." He said, what a fucker.

"Oh hunny I've deleted all of them already, I am too ashame to tell the whole world that I was inlove with a dick." I said and tapped the end call button.

I was about to shut my phone down since Phil might call again and I am so annoyed at the prick in the moment but a message popped up on my screen saying..

"Hey Amber, you forgot your red journal awhile ago at the café, I'll give it to you tomorrow! Btw take a rest will you? You looked so tired!
