Chapter 27 /arms\

I never thought you would be the one to hold my heart
But you came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start

"What's the point of life?" I said from the floor and listening to my friend Kaitlyn walk from her room across the hall into my room and sitting down next to me
And rubbing my back
"Come on let's go" she says pulling me off the floor, I crack my back making her cringe even though she left my room, I know it made her cringe
"You can't keep moping on the floor because I'm leaving for a whole week" she says throwing me my jacket to me and I catch it before shoving my foot into my brown boots, and throwing on my black jacket and scarf.
"Am not Moping" I say emphasizing on moping as we step outside our apartment in the brisk London night air
Kaitlyn laughs and locks the door behind us
"Sure" she says dropping her keys into the pocket of her green jacket
I smile at her
"Hey you'll be fine I think this fresh air will help clear your mind a little bit" she says linking her arm with mine
" I guess but than I have to interact with people "I whine
"Not all the time" she says nudging me
"If you even go outside while I'm gone" she adds on jokingly

You put your arms around me And I believe that it's easier for you to let me go You put your arms around me and I'm home.

I nudge her and smile, as she drags me through the town... Even though we've gone through the town a million times I still love to just walk through the town... Kaitlyn knows me well, she knows when I'm having an existential crisis that it's probably time to go outside and do something, she knows that I'm such a klutz and will most likely hurt myself while she's gone.
We continue to walk around town and then grab some hot chocolate before heading home.
"Thanks for getting rid of my existential crisis" I say jokingly and she gives me a smile
Once she unlocks the door she hugs me
"Goodnight and I'll see you next week okay? You probably won't be awake when I leave" she says and laughs and I nod before yawning and she walks into her room and I to my room.
I wake up
"Come on Kaitlyn said I can't just stay inside the house all while she's gone" I say to myself
"But maybe I'll wait for a while" I say rolling literally rolling out of my bed standing up and pulling my blanket over my head picking out clothes for another brisk autumn day in London.
I take a shower, feed myself, accidentally prick my finger on my cactus, stub my foot on the door to my room while grabbing my coat, and when I finally get to my coat and shoes it's noon.
"Oh well at least I'm getting out" I say trying to imitate Kaitlyn's cheerful tone and mood
It doesn't work... You can't be someone other than yourself... That's going down in 'sarah and kaitlyns quotes' made by us
I smile and put it in my notes so I don't forget it

How many times will you let me change my mind and turn around?

"Haha, I'm half genius when I'm not in an existential crisis " I say out loud earning a weird glance from a man on the phone walking past 
Piss off man
I keep walking until I come across the old piano studio that is just being shut down, they couldn't afford to stay open but so many kids are so unhappy about it shutting down that some have tried to enter contests and win money to save the studio but it wasn't enough, I remember taking a few years of piano and than singing along with it... I suddenly realize how close to the studio doors I am...I slowly push the doors open and my thoughts are interrupted by a song I would recognize anywhere
"It's all of me by John legend" I whisper
I turn the corner and into the music hall and sitting on the bench is a boy with brown hair and only dressed in black
"All of me loves all of you" I start
"All your curves and all your edges" a male voice joins me and I turn around to a pair of BRIGHT brilliant BLUE eyes.
The piano stops, and the boy has spun around, I immediately cover my mouth, he looks upset.
"Oh-oh my goodness I-I'm so sorry" I say stuttering like an idiot
"I-i j-just- buh!" I say falling on my butt and pulling my knees to my chest feeling embarrassed as I pull my hood over my head
"Dan look she has the same sweater as you" the voice behind me says, and I hear footsteps approaching, and suddenly a presence next to me, I look up slowly to see those bright blue eyes which pierce the darkness
