Crashed in love//Levi Jones

Six

It was late at night and I couldn't sleep. I decided to get up and sit outside on the balcony on Levi's flat. He was in the room next door so I had to be quiet. I got outside and it was cold. I stayed out any way, letting my feet dangle down the edge. I took a big breath of the cold, night air and took a look around. Considering it was like 1am in the morning, there were still lots of cars about. I looked up into the sky. Not a cloud in sight. Just stars brightly shining.  As I took another look out into the town, I started to think. My parents are out there back at what was once my home. They haven't even checked to see if I'm okay. They don't even care. And Isabel, I don't know why she left me. She was the one who decided to get in the car, even though she knew she'd had a few drinks. I then stood up, walking back to my room to get a photo I had in my bag. A picture of me and Isabel hugging with text by the side saying "best friends forever. No matter what happens." Well that was a load of lies wasn't it, I thought, holding it and walking back outside. I sat down again, beginning to rip up the photo. I ripped it to shreds. I then felt a few tears brim my eyes, and I let go of the photo, letting the breeze take it. After watching it float away, I heard footsteps. I turned around and saw Levi standing there. "Emelia what are you doing?" He asked, coming to sit beside me. I just looked down, swinging my legs and replied "couldn't sleep."  Levi looked at me sympathetically. "But It's really cold." He said, shivering slightly. I just shrugged. To be honest, I didn't really care about it being cold. "You can just go back to bed. It's fine." I told Levi. He shook his head. "I'm not leaving you out here alone." He said, putting his arm around me. We stayed silent for a little while, just listening to the night sounds. I then spoke. "Levi, I want to run away."  He looked at me, and said "what? Why?" I sighed. "Because, I don't remember this town anymore. I don't fit in here anymore. I want to go somewhere else." I said, wondering if I actually meant it or not, because it was night and I think of some pretty crazy stuff at this time. "You need to give yourself a chance Emelia. You've only been out of hospital for a few weeks, of course you won't remember everything yet." Levi said. "I don't care. There's not much point staying, is there? I doubt I'll ever see my parents again, and also, there is absolutely no way I'm facing people back at school. I want to just start again. Somewhere new." I told him, hoping he understood. Levi just sighed "Emelia..." But I cut him short and said "Let's move to America!! Where you used to live. And then I can meet Austin, Drew and Nate!" I said, thinking of how amazing it would be to live there. "Um, really? You're actually willing to move that far from the UK?" He asked, his curls blowing in the soft wind. I nodded. "Yes. I really want to go."  Levi smiled slightly. "Well...you know it'll take a little while to sort out? But to be honest, I would love to live back in my hometown." He said. I grabbed his hands and said "then let's do it!"  It was quite an extreme thing to do, but right now anything sounded better than staying here.
