City Streets

Chapter VI

*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*•*
Luckily the movie took my mind off of what Tyler had said, it was nice to spend the day with the people I loved the most, I was still very tired when I got home and as soon as I got up to my room I didn't even have enough time to get into my pyjamas.
The next day I packed the rest of my stuff and cleaned out my room until there was nothing but a room filled with boxes.
Finally it came the day where I would leave for London, luckily I had plenty of time to learn English until I could speak it as well as I could.
Walking out of the house was such a struggle, I had lived here ever since I was born and now we're just leaving it all behind, in knew that looking back at the place where I once slept was going to be an emotional wreak.

*leaving the house*
Tears, it was all that could come out of me besides the faint sobs that came with them. I didn't want to let all of this go, not now, not ever!
As I packed my final bag into the car I was greeted by my friends once more.
"Hi guys" I spoke, wiping the remaining tears from my eyes.
"Hey Joseph!" They all said at once, tears building up in their eyes at once.
"We got you some presents to remember us by" spoke Lillian.
"We're really gonna miss you too" said Tyler as he took out a small Aqua bag from behind him.
"Thanks so much guys." I said to them all, wiping even more tears from my shaken eyes.
"Please don't cry or your gonna make us cry." Spoke Phillip, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"S..sorry." I replied.
"But have fun at your new school and try and make some good friends, but not as good as us ok?" Spoke Marzia.
"Ok" I replied.
As we all stood their for a few short seconds we all gathered together for one last hug. We held each other tight, especially Tyler since he had a crush on me.
Tears couldn't stop streaming down my face, same with everyone else.
"Remember to give us a call when you get to London ok?" Said Phillip.
"Ok" I replied.
After one last group hug my parents called me over to the car for us to go.
As we pulled out of the driveway my friends raced with our car, waving and shouting as their tears began to slow them down.
As we began to further apart from each other I wiped my eyes once more and turned my head down to the small bag that sat beside me. It was decorated with beautiful patterns and gems, inside lay four letters and one larger box at the bottom. As I reached in with my shaken hands a pulled out the first letter which was a beautiful shade a blue, it was from Phillip.
"Dear Josephine, I'm really gonna miss you when your gone, you've been such an amazing friend and the group will never be the same without you, you've been with us through think and thin and never will I ever forget you but Please, don't forget us. Have fun in London
- Phillip"
The next letter was decorated with beautiful henna patterns and had a slight sent of perfume, this letter was obviously from Lillian, I could recognise the perfume from anywhere.
"To Joseph, FAREWELL MY FRIEND, I hope you have a MAGNIFICENT time in London, I hope you like to perfume I sprayed on the letter, it'll bring good memories every time you smell it. Remember to give us a call every now and then, I'm really gonna miss you but I know we'll never drift apart!
P.S send us a pic of the Big Ben while your at it, oh and a red phone box too.
- Lillian."
The next letter was shaded a beautiful shimmering pink with a golden border, I knew the only person who loved shinny things was Marzia.
"To my bested friend, see you soon, I apologise for the tear stains on this letter, I was so sad that you were leaving I just kinda broke down. You were such a kind hearted person and I don't think our lives could have ever been filled if you weren't in it. Anyway we all hope you have a great time in London, we all love you so much!
- Marzia"
Finally the last letter was just a plain, white letter, and it was the last one too, this one was from Tyler.
"Hey Josephine, listen, I'm really sorry about telling you my feelings, I know I should have told you earlier but let's just leave the crap to the past ok? But know this, I'm really, REALLY going to miss your pretty face, your beautiful personality and every other little detail about you, hope you enjoy the rest of your life in London, lots of love.
- Tyler"
All these letter, they meant a lot, each one basically described their personality. Their different styled writing,the way they used different letters, it just told me how much they really meant to me.
I reached into the bag once more and pulled out the large box that laid at the bottom of the bag. As I opened the box that was covered with blue and white stripes in held inside it a small box, a photo frame and a little trinkets like key rings, crystals and small books that felt familiar each time id pick one up.
As I looked through the trinkets, each one holding a memory of my friends. Like one crystal that was a beautiful shade of purple and blue and had a small crack in the middle. As I held it in my hands the small crystal felt so smooth on my palms, but as I ran my thumb down the small crack in the middle it's smooth edges began to fade into a rough ditch. Running my finger down the crack a flood of memories can rushing through me like a crashing waterfall. As I looked through the rest of the trinkets I realised that each one reminded me of my friend and carried a pice of their personality. As I pulled out the photo frame it brought a tear to eye once more. It was a picture of as all on the first day of high school, but had it really been that long. Finally I reached in and took out the small box that laid inside. As I opened a familiar ice of jewellery sat inside, it was a beautiful shade a rose gold and silver and decorated with white diamondbacks , it was the bracelet we saw in the shops. As soon as I took it out of the box I slapped it on my wrist, vowing that I would never take it off, for this, this meant a lot to me now.
