Chapter 3: Is this happiness?

   I drag all my bags out of the train. It took about 4 hours to get here. So, it's about 7 P.M. I hailed a cab. It takes about 20 minutes to get to my new flat. 

        " Thank you sir," I smile and hand him his money. He grunts and pulls away.  " Well, someone's on there man period." I roll my eyes. I walk up the stairs to  my apartment.  About halfway up , I hear footsteps rushing down the stairs. It  checks me causing me to fly backwards down the stairs. 

      " OH MY GOD!" A British voice cries. " I'm so stupid! Are you alright?"

      " Fine," I grunt.  I see a boy with bright blue eyes and coal black hair crouch down next to me. He helps me up. " Shit, you're really strong." I sit up, dazed.

     " I'm so sorry," He runs his hands through his hair.

     " It's fine, really." I smile and hold out my hand. He helps me up. He grabs my bags.

     " Let me," He smiles.

     " Why the hell not," I shrug and continue up the stairs with him. " So, What's your name?"

     " Phil." He smiles. " What's yours?'

     " Elizabeth." I smile." You can call me Ellie."

     " Ok, Ellie," He drops my bags and stretches. He picks the bags back up and we continue. " Why did you move?"

    " Well," I sigh. " I just graduated high school today. I came out here because I want to be a professional photographer." 

   " Nice!" He giggles a bit. " Why so soon?"

   " That's a story for another day," I stop him. " This is my stop." It couldn't have came at a better time.

   " Oh, Okay! Well, I live on the sixth floor with my roommate. We're flat number 4F. Stop by if you need anything. I mean I practically almost just killed you."

    " It's fine! It happens daily." I joke. Little does he know it use to happen frequently at my house. " Thank you Phil." 

     " Oh! No problem. Bye Ellie!" He waves and runs down the stairs.

    " SLOW IT DOWN!" I laugh as I scream down the stairs. I hear a loud laugh in return. I smile as I walk into my apartment. " It's so big!" I whisper. I unpack all of my stuff. My whole house basically consists of purple, Turtles, and technology. I brought my TV, phone, and laptop. Re arranging has made me hungry. It's like 9 P.M.  I grab my coat and walk down to the sixth floor. I knock on the door. Phil opens it.

    " Hey," He smiles. 

    " Hi." I look at my feet. " I was wondering if you'd like to go get something to eat? I mean if you already ate I can leave or-"

     " Sure. Let me grab my jacket. You can step in if you'd like." He walks into a hall as I step into the apartment. " Don't worry my roommate is out. So you don't have to be intimidated." Phil laughs. I chuckle at the joke. The front door bursts open, hitting me. A girl with her legs wrapped around a boy are snogging each others face off. Phil walks out. " Jesus Dan!" The boy separates from the girl. My stomach drops.  Phil soon catches on. " You two know each other?"

    " We did." I hiss. " I don't know him now." I walk out the door. Phil follows behind.

    " You ok?" Phil whispers from behind me. I turn around a bit to fast, causing Phil to smash into me. I wince.  

    ^Flashback*

       " YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH!" He snaps. " YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE FOR YOU!" He yells over my cries, hitting me again.
