Everyone says that love hurts, but that's not true.
Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Loosing someone hurts.
Everyone confuses these things with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us...
He didn't say anything. He just carried on hugging me. I opened my eyes and managed to just about see him. His eyes were closed and I could see tears running down them. He must be just as scared as I am.
"Are you sure about this?" I asked. He just nodded and then let go.
"There's no turning back now, right?"
I rolled my eyes and folded my arms. "Juwany Roman, are you crazy?"
He didn't reply. He just looked at me.
"If you don't want to do this then just tell me." I sighed.
Geo forced a smile and grabbed my hand. "Lucy Howells, this is my dream. My absolute dream to run away. And the fact that i'm running away with you makes this dream a complete fantasy."
I tried my best to act annoyed but I couldn't help but grin. He's such a charmer.
"Then lets go." I whispered. I couldn't believe that I actually just said that. I'm running away with the boy who I've wanted to date for what seems like my entire life. But, when I actually get want I've always wanted, I've started to not want it anymore..
Ariel did warn me about him. And I'm now starting to believe her.
Geo had already gone. I followed him, pulling my suitcase with me.
I guess this is it. I guess this is the beginning of our new life.

We were sitting on the grass eating chips, Geo went to pull me closer, but was interrupted by a girl who ran up to us, her eyes full of tears.
I smiled as I watched her and Geo hug and talk about Youtube gossip. It felt so good to see Geo happy with someone who supports him. He deserves it.
"You're Lucy right?" She asked, turning towards me after her and Geo took selfies.
I nodded and smiled, feeling shy. I didn't really know what to say.
"Oh." She said with a frown. She looked me up and down and then folded her arms. "Is she treating you well Geo?" She then turned her stern face towards my boyfriend.
When the fan wasn't looking, Geo raised his eyebrows and looked at me. I chuckled although I did feel a little awkward.
"Uh yeah." Geo murmured. She then turned to me again and Geo rolled his eyes.
"Social media hates you Lucy." She spat. She then ran away before Geo could say anything.
"What was up with her!" Geo gasped. His eyes were wide and he shuffled towards me so he could put his arm around me.
I sighed and stared at the floor. "She was just being over protective. I understand."
Geo didn't say anything. I could see on his face that he disagreed but I suppose he must have not wanted to say anything mean towards a fan.
I tried to forget about what she just said. I have too much on my mind, I shouldn't be worrying about something so small. Geo went to kiss me but I quickly hid my head in my arms. I wasn't in the mood and also my breath tasted like salt and vinegar crisps.
I jumped when my phone buzzed.
"It's Mario." Geo gasped, picking up the phone after I lifted up my head. "You gonna answer?"
"No.." I sighed, although I really wanted to.
I felt a tear trickle down my cheeks when I realized how much I miss him. Mario really does mean a lot to me, I can't believe I didn't realize it before. I just want to see him again, but the fact that that'll most defiantly not ever happen again hit me like a rock. And before I know it, he'll find another girl, maybe even Ariel, who'll make him feel happy the way I did.
Wait.. why should I care? It's not like I love him or anything, he's just a friend..
I think Geo could see how much pain I was in because he kissed my head and whispered "you have me Lucy, and I have you. That's all that matters."
I then closed my eyes and let the butterflies creep into my stomach as usual.
