Run Away Boy (l.h) (Wattys 2016)

Midnight Memories

"Why am I awake at 3:08am?" I questioned myself. I am sitting here on my bed staring into the darkness until I hear my stomach grumble, I think that's a sign. I quietly get up from my bed and tip toe over to my bedroom door. I'm on the other side of my door when I start making my way down my stairs. I entered my kitchen like it was my run way but of course I nearly scream when I realise I didn't put my socks on and the coldness of the tiles hit my feet. I make my way over to my fridge when I open it and gaze carefully at all of the food. I spot some yummy looking fruit and a yoghurt pot and I smile at my healthy choice. Since I am small I have to climb what it seems like Mount Everest to get a bowl. I finally reach one and decorate my chopped up fruit with yoghurt. I clean up the mess I made and sit down on the stool in-front of the counter. I pull out my phone and see messages. Ashton. 

Ashton💘: babe are you awake?
Ashton💘: I can't sleep so I'm watching old seasons of friends.

Sometimes I wonder why I ever said yes to dating him. He's such a dork but I like him a lot . It's starting to get chilly down stairs so I make the right decision to continue this snack in the comfort of my warm bed. I quietly shut the kitchen door. I slowly start walking up the stairs when I stop on the 7th step when I turn to my right. It's the photo of 6 year old me and Luke sitting beside eachother on the park bench eating ice cream. Luke Hemmings was my bestfriend, we would do everything together and tell eachother everything until one day he didn't come to school. I knocked at his house after school that day to see what was wrong but no answer. I tried again day after day knocking , texting and ringing. But nothing. I use to blame myself for him "disappearing" but I finally came to my senses. Luke and his family disappeared 5 years ago without a trace.
I demanded my mother to take the picture down off the walls but she won't. "It's to precious" " it's a good memory" she says. I snap out of my trance to realise I was crying I quickly dried the tear that sprung from my eye and carried on my journey. I open my door trying not to wake up my mother or brother. I jump into my bed , switch on the TV settling on MTV for now and begin to dig back into my snack. After I was done eating I got comfy under my blankets and switched on my phone. Crap !! I forgot to text back Ashton.

Me: Sorry was getting food per usual, are you still awake :))

I started scrolling through Twitter. When I found myself to be getting very tired. I locked my phone and shut my eyes to moments later see my screen aluminate. I squint like a vampire to light.

Ashton💘: Yayy you are awake !! Now I can annoy you :))
Me: On second thoughts maybe I'll go to sleep ;)
Ashton💘: Okay , okay. You win this one Daisy.
Me: Sorry Ash but I am really really tired g2g to sleep.
Ashton💘: Okay gnight sleeping beauty :)
Me: You are so cringe *barf* nighty night.

I lock my phone once again as I start to drift off to sleep but the last thing that was on my mind that night was Luke Hemmings the run away boy and how much I wished I could
see his face one more time.
