~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

For some odd reason I can't sleep. I'm too excited and I don't even know what about. I have this weird feeling in my stomach, like a feeling you get before something massive happens or something great.

Like something's going to happen, that will change everything. I doubt anything will, it only feels that way. Maybe I'm just excited about not working for such a long period of time.

Thinking of that, what am I going to do tomorrow? Naomi and Chase have school from 9 am to 3 pm, so I'll be alone then. I COULD sleep in late, then go out to eat and go shopping. I've not been out for so long and I need new clothing. Yes, that's what I'll do.

Satisfied, I snuggle into the blankets and finally fall asleep, a smile spread across my face.

~*~

The next day I wake up at 11:30 as planned. It feels so good to have extra sleep.

I go into the washroom and brush my teeth, then strip of my clothes. I step under the hot water and take a quick shower. Afterwards, I blow dry my hair then curl it.

I never used to do my hair or worry about using makeup but now I don't go anywhere without it. It's strange how people can change so easily and quickly. I think of my mother and how she went from a sweet caring person, to a drug addict which ended her life. Some mother she was.

Thinking about it, I guess I changed a while after my ex-boyfriend Liam moved away during schooling. We always used to dress the same; jeans, sweatshirts, jumpers, graphic tees, and sneakers. I guess I didn't want anything to do with him anymore, so I changed myself.

I think the main reason was that I was trying to forget about him, as he forgot about me. But it obviously never worked. I still remember everything to this day, and I still think about it often.

Although I've changed, I still have my old clothing packed away in a box. I might some day decide to bring 2010 Destiney back.

Once I was ready, I look back at my reflection in the mirror. Curled hair, a light layer of makeup, blue skinny jeans, a large trench coat with black boots. I smile back at myself before grabbing my bag off the chair and walking downstairs.

I take my keys from the counter, leave through the back door, locking it behind me. Time to start my first day of freedom.

~*~

I walk into a small restaurant and sit by the window. Only a few people were in, and they were already eating their lunches. A woman that seemed to be between the age of 40 and 50, comes up to me with a large note pad.

"Hello, what can I get you?"

"Could I get a salad with water, please?" I ask, and hand her the menu -that was already laid out on the table when I came- to take. She nods her head and takes the menu back to the front counter.

After finishing lunch, I check my mobile for any messages to kill time. I've got at least 3 hours until Naomi is home, so I need to waste as much time as possible.

With no messages, I sigh and stand up from the table. The closest shopping centre is 6 blocks away, so I'll have a short walk while getting there.

I thank the lady behind the counter before exiting the restaurant. I watch the people and cars go by as I walk along the streets of London, just taking everything in. I haven't been on and outing like this in so long..

Halfway to the shopping centre as I'm crossing a street, someone bumps into me, causing me to fall to the ground. Without saying anything, I pick myself up from the ground and continue walking. "Are you alright?" The person jogs up beside me.

"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks." I say, keeping my eyes on the ground.

"Are you sure? That looked like it hurt." He says. I watch his feet walking beside mine. White Converse. Just like I used to wear.

"I'm fine, I promise." I laugh a bit, and turn to look at the guy for once. My mouth drops, and I feel as if the world around me slows down. I quickly blink twice, because there is no way that's him. "L-Liam?"

"How did you- Destiney? Oh my god is that really you?" He almost shouts, eyes wide with shock. "Liam!" I pull him in for a hug, not caring who sees.

People bump into us, shoving past as we hold onto each other. Is this even happening right now? Is this all even possible? "Destiney, Destiney. How long has it been?"

That kind of hurts me. He doesn't remember the last time we saw each other? The last day I held on to him, and told him I loved him and would never stop?

Everything comes rushing back. The nights spent alone, the kisses we shared, the ditching of school to have days to ourselves, the 'I love yous'. All of the moments before he left.

"I've missed you so much. So, so much." I whisper in his ear, not letting go of him. The tears that I've been bottling up inside me flow from my eyes as Liam and I hold each other.

This all seems too good to be true. I knew I would never see him again. There was no way we would ever be together again. But I was wrong. We are together, and I couldn't be more happier than in this moment.

Caressing my hair, Liam says, "Didn't I tell you we'd meet up again."
