"Noah, please look I'm sorry I can't help it, I just wanted to make sure you didn't cheat"
"Really Bec? Hmm not what it seemed like, you've crossed the line now and I can't deal with it! I'm going! We're THROUGH" I stormed out of my girlfriends or should I say ex-girlfriends bedroom crying, my eyes stung as if tiny bee's were piercing my waterline. I grabbed my shoes without stopping to put them on I needed to get out of there as quickly as possible. The road was so hot I felt the skin on the soles of my feet start to blister, my eyes continuing to sting and my words slurring as I swore and shouted. I ran down a hidden pathway I had never seen before in my life, it was small and very overgrown there were wild flowers growing everywhere and the smell of sweet roses enriched my nostrils but not hiding the pain I was feeling. Thorns were slitting the blisters that had created on my feet, I sat down and put on my black Doc Martin boots and laced them up clumsily and loosely. My eyes were blurred as I tumbled down a hill and found myself on a small bridge that was made of light brown wood, pine I am guessing. The river it sat upon was also overgrown and very mucky there were old plastic Tesco bags floating around in the pool of algae. I sat there for an hour or more deleting photos of me and Bec and replacing them with photos of the dirty river, it pretty much captured my emotions.
I then heard footsteps behind me, loud, heavy and clumsy, I was kind of scared it was the farmer that owned the field as I had just lit three cigarettes and the butts were still lay spread across the meadow singing the green grass. But then a petite girl with long blonde curly hair and a smile that could win Britain's Next Top Model sat down next to me.
"You know that smoking is bad for the environment right?" She said almost giggling, and oh my gosh that giggle made my heart melt. Then she chucked a cigarette onto the grass which shortly after made a small fire and then burnt out leaving a black patch on the field.
"Yeah, I know, guess you do too then?" I sniffed making it apparent that I was crying, dammit I have always been bad at concealing my emotions.
"Erm...Are you ok? You look kinda upset! Should I leave? I mean I don't normally go up to totally attractive strangers and throw cigarette's about!" My mouth curled into a small grin. 'Totally attractive' well I would love to say it back but I thought it was a bit too fast.
"My girlfriend, well ex-girlfriend kept looking through my phone asking me about my friends then having a go at me for talking to my own cousin (she's a girl)" I blurted out not even realising I have never even met this girl before. "I mean it's not like I'm going to get with my cousin! So I told her it was through between us and started to cry. I'm an emotional wreck sometimes" She raised her eyebrows and did that cute giggle again and twisted her head to look out onto the stream.
"You know normal people just say yes or no" Then she giggled again but that followed by an eruption of laughter and she sprawled herself onto her stomach and rolled over staring into my eyes. "Sorry, I'm not that good at sympathy"
"It's alright" I flicked open my pack of cigarettes and lit yet another and inhaled a huge puff of the toxic waste I was happy to inhale every single day 365 days a year.
"Hey! I never even told you my name" She outstretched her arm from her awkward lying position and smiled. "I'm Nina" She giggled and stared at her hand still outstretched waiting for me to shake it her eyes telling me come on I'm not going to bite.
"I'm Noah" I curled my fingers around hers and she shook so vigorously I thought my arm would fling off right there and then. And surprise surprise she exploded into a fit of giggles.
"Well Mr.Noah how old are you? I'm 16 but you look older am I right or wrong?" She was wrong I was actually younger not by a lot my birthday was a couple days away. I hesitated but finally I said.
