The dim morning light shines through the curtains, waking me up. I'm sprawled out on the brown faux leather couch which isn't very comfortable. I hate sleeping in day clothes, it doesn't feel right, I need a shower. I reach over to my bag and check my phone to see if my mom replied. It's 7am, damn that's early, everyone else is still asleep. The little text notification pops up on my screen, two new messages. The first one is from my mom thank goodness.
sweetie, the neighbour has a spare key x
Oh... well atleast I don't have to stay here another night, but how am I going to get home? It's a bit far to walk and I don't know the way back to my house anyway. I would call Chloe if I had her number to pick me up, I seriously need to make more friends. Suddenly I hear a door open followed my footsteps, is that Harry? I turn around and see Louis walk in, in a way I'm glad.
"Hey Leila" he says, the dark circles prominent under his eyes. He's wearing grey sweats and a white tee with a beanie. Why on earth is he wearing a beanie in July?
"Lilah"
"Oh right, sorry" he rubs his eyes "Why aren't you with Harry?" he gets some milk out of the refrigerator along with some coco puffs out of the cupboard.
"What do you mean?"
"I thought you were with him, ya know what I mean" I give him a confused, almost amused look.
"Er, no that's not what I'm here for" I chuckle and start putting my shoes on "I was locked out of my house and had no where else to go and it was about 1am, although now I know that the neighbour has a spare key" I finish lacing my right shoe.
"Ah I see, do you live far from here?"
"Not really, I think. But I have to wait until Harry wakes up so he can take me home" I shrug, lacing up my left shoe.
"Oh I could take you if you like"
"Really? That would be great" I smile.
"Yeah, it's fine. If you know the address I can take you there. Lemme just get my keys and we can go, I'll just tell Haz that you were kidnapped or something"
Louis and I walk down to his car, the streets are pretty quiet but then again, it is 7am on a Sunday. It's a beautiful day though, the sun shine and slight breeze is perfect. When I sit down in his car I notice it smells of weed... Louis proves himself to be quite the joker, making me laugh quite a lot on the way to my house.
"So how do you know Harry?" he asks, eyes on the road. He has such a californian vibe, I miss california so much. He's a nice breath of fresh air.
"I don't really know him, I met him yesterday. Scratch that, I don't know him at all" I stare out the window, watching the sidewalks move before my eyes.
"You met him yesterday?" he asks amusingly surprised.
"Yeah..."
"That's hilarious"
"Why?" I turn to look at him. I run my fingers through my hair, it's dirty...
"I mean, you met him yesterday, and the very same night you're drinking beer with him at his apartment"
"I met you a few hours ago and you're taking me home"
"Touché" he laughs. And before I know it, we're in front of my home. "Is this it?"
"Yeah it is" I lean across to hug him "Thanks, so much"
"No problem love" I get out and wave him goodbye. "Catch you later" he waves back and drives off. Ahh what a day, at least I can just relax today. I knock on the neighbours door and she gladly gives me the key, she's a sweet little old lady that I sometimes see gardening in the afternoon. She's pretty short too, shorter than me at least. I feel like calling Erin, maybe I will after I get out of the shower. I've spent the whole day hanging out with these people, it'll be nice to see a familiar face... well, hear.
The warm water feels nice on my back, it calms me down and gets my brain thinking. Nothing better than a thought provoking shower. The water reminds me of the beach back home, god I miss it. I miss everything, I miss my friends, I miss going out, I miss myself. It kinda feels like I've changed and become boring, I feel boring, lonely. But that's the whole reason I wanted to get this job and I know if I just keep thinking about everything back home it's not going to help, out with the old and in with the new. I sigh. I wonder what's the deal with Harry though, why doesn't he like me? Maybe he's gay... But Louis thought I was there with him so I guess not. He honestly is a puzzle, maybe he's like this with everyone or is there just something about me he doesn't like. There's always been someone who doesn't like me for no reason, all of them have been girls though. I just want to know, he thinks I'm a little bratty princess which is so not true. I'm a lot of things but I bratty little princess is not one of them. Or maybe is just the fact he's older.
Chloe and Louis are nice though, they seem like the type of people I could get on with easily and I still can't get my head around how they hang out with Harry. Louis still, because he's his roommate and you just have to put up with it, but Chloe. She's so lovely! Maybe they have history or- Jesus Christ Lilah! Stop overthinking things. Ugh. I get out of the shower and get changed. I feel like writing in my diary, it's been an eventful day, worthy of it's own hand-written page. I've been writing in this diary since I was 15 so it's pretty full, it's cool how you can see my crappy penmanship evolve in 3 years to decent. I have polaroids an I have a sketches in there too, a few are a bit artistic and random and others are of the perfect view of the beach I used to get right outside my bedroom in California. I have folded the pages that I like to read and remember the most, maybe even some that make me laugh. My first kiss is one of them and I'm excited to find out what new pages I will write in the future that will turn into my favorites. Just as I'm writing, my phone buzzes. I'm expecting it to be my mom but I see it's Erin, speak of the devil.
"Hey Er"
"Hey Johnson" her voice brings a smile to my face, I really want to see her "What's up?"
"Er nothing much I guess, I got the job"
"Oh my gosh that's great! And?"
"And what?" I give a reaction as if she was in the room.
"What's it like?"
"It's good, pretty much"
"Good?"
"Yeah good, what else do you want me to say?"
"Oh I don't know, if there's any greek gods who throw a few balls here and there" I can feel her smirk threw the phone.
"Ah, er... hm. I've met a few people, not really greek gods though" I giggle
"Roman gods, then"
"Haha, I miss you Erin"
"Miss you too Lilah, you better visit me soon or I'll kick your ass all the way back here"
(Soo what do you think of Erin and Louis? I think they're both pretty alike. Don't forget to vote and leave a comment, I love receiving em! Btw sorry for any typos or mistakes but yeah, Thanks for reading ;) )
