4 days later.
New York surprised me.
I was twenty one and i needed something, or someone like Emily to keep everything off my mind.
It's good to spent time in New York for a bit since i got to meet new people and it's not like the same shit back in England where everyone knows everyone's business.
"Van, you there?" Emily asked while we were on the phone "yes, love?" I said looking outside "you have time to stop by and have a smoke on my couch?" She asked i imagined that smile of hers she always drove me crazy with
I stood up "I'll be there in twenty" I said grabbing my jacket
"Hi." She whispered smiling looking at me
I picked her up and kissed her pink lips
"What's up with you?" She teased smirking
"Happy to see you that's all" I said kissing her cheek putting her down "oh?" She joked sitting down on her couch
I lighted a cigarette and looked at her
"How are you?" She asked me
I looked at her but didn't answer
"You seem to lose your way a bit" she sighed lighting her fag i chuckled lightly cause Larry asked me the same question a couple days ago
"I've been known to lose my way a bit" i whispered
She didn't talk after that but looked outside
"Van?" She asked me "yes, darling?"
"I mean, i like you and we are great together i think" she started finishing her cigarette
I swallowed, me and Emily seemed to get well with each other and that fucked with my head cause we've only been six days in and things were getting serious right now and i realised that i was losing Lexi more and more
I decided to avoid what she said and changed the concept "i have a question" I said lighting another fag "yes?" She whispered "the old guitarist of our band, it's his birthday in two days and we're flying back to England i was wondering if you would come with me?" I asked her standing up she smiled "yeah, i think i can have a few days off i suppose" she whispered smiling "class."
- Larry's pov
My phone broke and i got this old one of van
He bought a new one a couple of weeks ago. I grabbed my phone and looked through the old voicemails just cause' i was bored
I knitted my eyebrows when i saw a voicemail van didn't see, it was of Lexi
I couldn't help but listened to it.
She sighed and started talking
"I- uh I know that it is 3 am and you are probably asleep right now but I wanted you to know that I still think about you." She whispered, there with a short break to take a deep breath "I wonder how you are doing and if you are happy. Please, tell me if you are, so a part of me can be happy too." She whispered
I noticed her softly crying, she hang up
There was no goodbye of anything
I felt my heart breaking
Did i have to tell van? Or would it fuck him over again?
- Lexi's pov
"So me' mate is having a party, well kind of and he invited us, it's in two days." Brian said playing with the ends of my hair
"Where is it again?" I whispered looking at him
"In London." He said "since when did you have friends from London?" I asked smiling
"I don't, he was in a band and he dropped out of it, he lived in wales but got a girlfriend over 'ere that's when i met him and that" he said with a nod "right, i have to look for a job today cause' I'm running out of money" I sighed standing up "you'll be back tonight right?" He whispered smiling i nodded "of course" I whispered kissing his lips
"Good lock!" He yelled
"I really like it here also" I said
"Good, your hired" he said finishing some paper work "thank you very much, when do i start?" I asked "next week on Monday." He said with a small smile shaking my hand
"Great, see you then!" I said walking out of the cafe i bumped into someone "ello' stranger" Becky chuckled "hey, how're you?" I asked with a unsure smile on my face "I'm good, much better do you have- you wanna have a drink?" She asked me i looked at my phone reading it was 11pm "yeah sure" I said smiling
I walked in with her and ordered two beers
"Haven't seen you in a bit" she said with a weak smile "I know, i know" I sighed "how are you since i last spoke you?" She whispered
I sighed "good." I lied "class, have you spoken to van?" She said
Oh.
It hurt hearing his name "no, i haven't, i met someone actually." I whispered remembering the voicemail i send him a couple weeks ago
"He fit?" She asked smirking i nodded "he is." I laughed "I want to meet him sometime yeah?" She smiled i nodded "now back to you, you got a new lover?" I asked her "nah mate, still single" she smiled "I know what that means, on the shag again?" I chuckled "sssst" she laughed
I missed this, I missed her too much
