I have been out exploring Melbourne for a good few hours. Let's just say exploring because I don't want to admit that I was lost and had no idea on how to get back home. I actually love Australia; I feel like this will be the beginning of my happiness. I felt so fr- oh crap, I just bumped into a really hot guy.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry," I say looking down at my shoes fiddling with my hands. My face starts burning and my heart beat slows down. I lose track of my breath. Oh no, not now. Why now. I began to run. I ended up being down an alley sat in a corner with my hands on my head, trying to control my breathing. Panic attacks are actually horrible. Who am I kidding? Australia won't stop my anxiety nor make my depression leave. I'll never be happy.
"Erm, excuse me, are you ok?" I hear a boy's voice which made me jump. I looked up and realised it was the boy I bumped into. I feel my cheeks burn, oh no. I bet I look like a tomato.
"Yeh thank you" I reply bluntly.
"Oh ok, it's just that your kind of crying and you don't seem to be breathing properly" He looked puzzled.
"I hurt my ankle, I'm fine," I say as I stand up and run away, I can hear him laughing. Why am I so awkward? He was so hot and I decide to run away, wow.
"IM HOME!" I shout as I enter the house, I loved the vibe of this house. There was no respond. I looked at the clock and realised that it was 2 in the morning, I have been gone for 5 hours, wtf?! I pop my head through my parent's room and realise they were asleep. Ghee, thanks for the concern.
"Your welcome." Lucy says popping her head out of her room making me jump.
"For what?" I answer.
"Saving your ass, mum was going to call the police and send out a search party for you. Count yourself lucky that you've got an amazing sister." I laugh slightly not knowing how to respond to what she just said.
"Thanks".
