New Years Eve

8 hours to go

Emily walked through the town of Rosewood watching the passing figures and something inside of her began to rise as she watched over these people. Everybody had a significant other and with all this years gone by she was still in the same town with nobody. It made her feel embarrassed and slightly saddened as she rubbed her hands together quickly trying to get back to her apartment. This thought had never bothered her before and it wasn't even that much of a big deal but it must be the special occasion, seeing everybody so happy that made her feel sick to the core. Taking a quick stop from her trip she headed inside The Brew needing to grab a coffee to clear her mind. This was not behaviour she usually involved herself in.

As the cup was placed in her hand, her mind began to slow down and she felt slightly better about herself. She began to find peace with the thoughts.

As the steam from the coffee clouded her eyes she felt as if she was beginning to hallucinate because in front of her stood the most beautiful girl on this planet. In front of her stood -
"Alison?"

"Have you decided what you're going to do now?" Caleb asked as Hanna took the seat beside him. The girl had not thought about her future plans but did she really have time? Everybody wished for a time you could just leave your job and express the rage you'd have built up inside yourself for years but nobody really thinks that it would happen. With the opportunity there Hanna just couldn't miss it.
"I'd like to get out of this town. A girl can dream right?"

Caleb's mind was filled with the wonder of this girl, this girl he had seen for so long now but yet still had no idea who she was. This girl who was so beautiful but was so mysterious. Hanna was a powerful combination and if there was any Caleb was going to be the one to work her out.
"What's stopping you?" The man asked the sudden gusts of wind causing him to begin to shiver slightly.
"I don't know-" The girl confessed crossing over her legs and looking to the surrounding area. What was keeping her here? What was so brilliant about this town that had caused her to put her dreams on hold?
"I feel like this is my home I guess. It's like there's an invisible rope tying me down here."

Caleb looked at this girl once more and just couldn't understand her. For the past two years his conclusion of the girl was very different to the actual true person she was. Maybe it was because he finally had the opportunity to speak to her or just because he wanted to show some courage he finally spoke up.
"Let's leave then."
