till the end of time

Chapter 1:anything is possible

AUTUMN POV

The harsh December winds sent a chill down my spine. new York is nothing like Alabama. I pulled my shorts down as far as I could and wrapped the blanket mama gave me tightly around my shoulders. Her last words echoing through my head I'll come back for you. a tear escapes my eye and I wipe it and keep walking. I wish this was a dream but its not so I keep walking even though my toes are numb and every part of me aches. I see a coffee store and hurry in. Everyone glances my way then goes back to their buisness. I hurry into the bathroom and lock the door. What will I do I have 20 dollars left and nowhere to go. I drop the blanket and look in the mirror. My long brown hair falls down to my butt

I have tan skin and freckles my green eyes my shorts tank top and flip flops I am not prepared. I sigh and take out a hair Tie and braid my hair. Hopefully 20 dollars will be enough to get me to Maine where my uncle lives. I doubt it but I have to try Manhattan is horribly dirty and cold. I at least need to use a pay phone to let my uncle know what happened. I scoop up my blanket and head back out into the cold. I push my way through crowds and find my way back to the train station. I walk up to the man selling the tickets. "exuse me but how much does a trip to maine cost" I ask. The man young has on a t shirt and jeans he looks annoyed and bored. "the farthest this train goes is new hampshire and its 20 dollars per ticket" he replied staring at me. "oh thank you" I said heading back out to the busy streets of Manhattan, there was no way of me gettin to maine. So instead I decided to at least buy myself some snacks. I pushed my way into a tiny store. It was filled with snacks my stomached growled. I grabbed 4 bags of chips and went to the cash register. "that all" the old man croaked fiddiling with the cash register. "yessiree" I replied placing the bags on the counter. "16 dollars 45 cents" he said grabing my twenty and handing me my change. "thank you" I shouted rushing out of the store. I ran and ran till I found a pay phone I inserted 3 quarters and dialed my uncles number. It rang and rang but he never picked up. I left him a message " hey uncle tim its autumn emilys daughter I'm in new York and I need a place to stay.." I started sobbing "please call back I don't know what to do I can explain.." I sobbed into the phone for two minutes before I pulled my self together. "bye" I mumbled and hung up the phone. I shut the glass door to the pay phone and sat on the floor my blanket draped around Me. I'm hopeless I thought its 12:00 o'clock in the morning where am I gonna sleep. I decided to just sleep there so I laid my blanket down and wrapped one part of it around me closed my eyes and fell asleep. I woke to loud honks and shouts. I sat up and grabbed my blanket. I rubbed my throbbing head and opened one of my bags of chips. I ate them slowly wondering what I was going to do. Then,I saw it a homeless man with a can that said need money for food. I grabbed a bag of chips and races towards him. "hey sir I'll trade you this bag of chips for that can" I said holding out the bag of chips. "deal" he replied taking the chips and handing me his can. I quickly hurried back to my phone booth opened the door and set the can outside of it. I went in and sat by the door. All though the day people passed not even bothering to look at me. Then he came he had black hair perfect white teeth blue eyes and he was muscular tall had on a navy blue coat jeans and sneakers he smiled at me and dropped a twenty dollar bill in my can. finally a decent person I shoved the money in my pocket. Then when he passed again he dropped another twenty and a card that had an address on it. I tucked it in my pocket got up and tapped a lady on the shoulder. "hi do you know where the cheapest clothing shop is" I asked. She looked at me disgusted "there's a thrift shop around the corner" she snapped turning back around and walking away. I ran to the thrift shop as fast,as I could. I swung open the door and the smell of air freshener filled my nose. I searched the whole store till I found a pair of,black skinny jeans white vans and a dark blue hoodie that had an infinity sign on it. Everything only cost me 10 dollars. I sprinted back out and towards the street the address said. It was an alley way and there he was waiting for me.

DAMIONS POV

I watched her  slowly make her way towards me. She was so beautiful how could she be living on the streets. For some reason I couldn't keep my eyes off her. from the moment I saw,her at that phone booth she was all I could think about. "hi" she said her southern accent. "hi my names Damion" I replied extending my hand to shake hers. She shook it and said "I'm autumn". "listen I noticed you needed a place to stay and I have an extra room in my apartment" I said hoping she wouldn't think I'm a creep. She just smiled tears glistening in her eyes. "thank you you have no idea how much that means to me" she replied. I ran my hand through my hair "hey what are friends for" I replied smiling. "this way to the apartment" I said gesturing to the stairs ahead of us. "ok but first I need to go get my things" she replied. "ok meet me in the apartment when your done I'll leave it unlocked for you" I replied and I watches her walk back the way she came. I climbed up the stairs and unlocked the door. I went inside and sat on the couch turned on the tv. after about 10 minutes autumn came in carrying a blanket a can and 2 bags of chips. "the room on the left next to the bathroom" I said. "ok thanks" she replied going into my guest room. She set her stuff on the floor. "I really need a shower" she said looking at me. "ok I'll get it ready for you" I said walking into the bathroom. She followed and I showed her how to work everything I handed her a towel soap and hair products. "thanks for everything" she whispered. "no problem" I replied walking out of the bathroom. just as I sat back down my phone rang it was my dad. I grabbed it and answered. "hey dad what's up" I said flipping through the channels. "damion I had a dream" he whispered. "about" I said a little annoyed. "Emily crimson somethings wrong damion I know it" my dad replied. My dad had been warning me about the crimsons my whole life. Stay away from them they will be your down fall he would always,say. "dad what's wrong" I asked. "I don't know but I feel it change is coming Damion and you better prepare for a war of the relms" he whispered. there are only 2 relms the human one and the crimson one. My dad warned me that dark forces took over the crimson realm. But what is this magical realm my dad would never tell me. "dad what are the crimsons" i asked sternley. "you will know in time son I have to go I'll call you tomorrow" he said then hung up the phone. I threw the phone at the couch and sighed. Then autumn came out of the shower her long hair wet wearing a tank top and skinny jeans. "watcha watching" she asked sitting on the couch next to me. "I don't know just kinda searching through the channels" I replied. "cool my favorite show is keeping up with the Kardashians me,and my mom used to watch it and make fun of them" she said smiling at the memory. "mine is the walking dead" I said looking into her eyes. "nice never seen it" she said. "next time its on you have to.watch it with me" I said our hands were just inches apart. " I guess I will" she said moving her hand a little closer to.mine. I moved mine closer and our hands were touching. Neither of us said anything we just sat there for a while until she broke the silence. "we should go to bed its late" she said still not moving her hand away from mine. "yeah we probably should" I replied. Finally she stood up and I did too. She hugged me and I wanted to kiss,her so bad but it was too soon we barely knew each other. When we broke away from the hug I said goodnight and she did too and we went to our rooms.

AUTUMNS POV

every second I was away from Damion there was a constant ache in my chest. This has never happened before I tried hard to fall asleep but I had no luck. I decided a midnight snack might do I always had late night snacks in Alabama it always did the trick. I crept out  into.the kitchen and opened the fridge. I scanned it and decided on pudding. I grabbed the vanilla pudding and found a spoon. I carefully opened it and began eating. I climbed up on the counter top and sat in the dark eating my pudding. Soon camions door opened and,he came out. "Hey couldn't sleep either" he asked looking at me. "nope so I thought I would get a snack and try to go to sleep" I said scooping more pudding into My mouth. "mind If I join you in eating pudding" he asked opening the fridge. "not at all" I replied scootching over to make room for him. he grabs a pudding and sits next to me our arms are touching and the ache goes away. we sat there for awhile eating pudding enjoying eachothers company. Then I finally spoke "hey Damion" I whispered. "yeah" he whispered. "I know we barley know eachother but your the closest friend I've ever had" I whispered throwing out my pudding. "same" he replied biting his,lip. Its so sexy when he does that. "wanna watch a movie" I asked looking at him. "sure how does a comedy sound" he asked getting up. "great" I replied I need to laugh its been months since I had laughed or even enjoyed myself. Since my fathers death and those people attacking my.mother I haven't really had a reason to be happy. I got up and followed Damion into the living room he popped in a movie. I sat on the couch and he sat next to me. I leaned into him never would I have thought I would be here. That just shows how anything is possible.
