Gang fights

Chapter 20

Lee's POV

"Mum, I'm going out a walk!" I called, then walked out, not giving her time to object

It was around five in the evening, still light and quite warm.

I walked around the small town had grown to love over the past months.

I smiled, memories filling my mind as I continued to walk. I stopped outside of the tattoo shop

I pushed open the door then stepped in

"Hey Lee, are you looking for Harry?" The tattoo guy, Ian, asked

"No, I don't know why I'm here to be honest......I just..." I stuttered

"Oh, today is your last day isn't it?" he asked

"Yeah, how did..."

"Harry told me." he cut me off

"Oh." I nodded

"He's going to miss you." he said, writing in his appointment book

"I'm going to miss him." I admitted

Ian just looked at me with a almost sad smile

"Give me a hug kid," he grinned, engulfing me in his tattooed arms "Good luck in London."

"Thanks Ian." I smiled

"See you later." he patted my shoulder gently as I walked out

Will you? Will I ever come back here?

I kept walking, then I came to the football pitches. I smiled, memories again attacking me

"Lee!" a male voice yelled

I turned to see Mark, jogging across the pitch towards me

"You're going?" he asked

"Yeah, I leave tomorrow morning." I sighed

"I didn't think you were going so soon, you're going to be visiting a lot, right?" he smiled as we walked along the grass, then sat on a bench

"I don't know, probably not." I shrugged

"What? You can't just go Lee, not this quick." he said

"Mark, if I go it all stops. The gang stuff, you can all move on with your life's." I said

"We can sort it, you don't have to leave." he tried

"I belong in London,  I grew up there." I said

"Just because you grew up there doesn't mean you belong there. You belong where you feel at home. I thought you loved it here." he said

"I do love it, just trust me Mark. If I go things will stop, I couldn't live with myself if any of you got hurt because of me." I spoke

We were both silent for a minute

"Just.... Look out for Harry for me, please." I asked

"Of course I will Lee, stay safe. Yeah?" he hugged me

"I think it's you guys that should be trying to stay safe." I chuckled to stop my tears from falling

"See you later." he smiled then ran back to his friends

"Yeah." I sighed, getting up and continuing my last walk around this small town

************

I looked in the full length mirror in my room for the last time.

I was wearing black leggings and an oversized grey t-shirt along with white converse. My hair was in natural waves and my face was clear of make-up.

I let out a sigh and picked up my travelling bag

"Mum? Are you ready to go?" I asked, walking down the stairs

"Go where?" she asked

"You said you would drive me to the train station." I reminded her

"Can't you just get a taxi?" she sighed

"But I..." I started then the door rang

"Get the door Lee." she said

I rolled my eyes and walked to the front door pulling it open.

"H..Harry. What are you doing here?" I stuttered

"You think I'd let you go without a goodbye?" he smiled showing off one dimple

I smiled, then looked over my shoulder

"Who is it?" Mum asked, coming beside me

"Oh great, Harry can take you to the train station!" she exclaimed

She may not like Harry but she obviously wanted out of this. I didn't tell her about us not really being together any more, why would she care?

"I'm sure Harry has better things to do..." I began

"Nope, I'd love to." he cut me off with a wide grin

He took my bag off my shoulder and carried it to his car, he got in leaving me to say goodbye to my Mum.

"Be careful in London, too many people know our family. I don't want you to embarrass us." she said

I rolled my eyes "Whatever, bye Mum."

I walked down the path to her yelling at me for being rude to her

I got into Harry's car and slammed the door closed.

"That's the door shut, eh?" he asked

"Sorry." I apologized

"Don't worry about it." he said then started his engine and started driving towards the train station

"I found your photo's when I was clearing my room out." I said leaning over to reach my bag

"What photo's?" he asked, keeping his eyes on the road

"From my Dad's." I answered, grabbing them

"I was looking for them." he smiled

"Well, here you go." I sat them on the front of his car

"You can keep them, I don't want you to forget." he said

"Forget what?" I asked

"Me. Us. The holiday. I know how forgetful you are." he teased

I smiled, a blush on my cheeks

"Thank you Harry." I smiled as we pulled up at the train station

"Now, don't freak out." he said, grabbing my bag as we got out of his car

"Freak out?" I asked following him

"I tried to tell them not to." he smiled as we turned the corner

"Oh my God." I laughed

Everyone from the gang was there and a few of their girls who I had become friends with, all of them helping to hold up a huge 'Good-bye Lee' banner

Harry's POV

I looked behind me to see Kieron duck down behind a wall, thinking I hadn't seen him. Good, he'll tell Jason Lee's leaving.

I smiled as she was engulfed in a huge group hug from everyone

After about ten minutes of her saying goodbye to everyone, her train was announced that it would be here in a minute.

She turned to me with tears in her eyes

I smiled, handing her her bag and pulling her into my arms

"Promise me you'll never forget me?" I asked into her hair

"I promise." she said, tears slipping out of her eyes

"Promise me you won't do anything stupid?" she asked

"I'll try not to." I chuckled

Her train came to a stop and she pulled away

"Goodbye Harry." she said softly

"Bye Lee." I said with a sad smile
