despite all the events that had happened in the last four hours, my mind is swarmed with the endless thoughts that all seemed to stream from the alternating question, "what if." creating a confusion that was some what unbearable. i walk home in the brisk london air finding my way to the tiny apartment, expecting to find my best friend drowning in happiness. but what i walked into was not what i was expecting.
pacing back and forth with her face red, face stained with smeared eyeliner that rain from her dark brown eyes.
"oh my god, Sarah what happened?" i walk over to her who now was shaking
"i dont know what do kirsten."
"what happened sarah?" my mind pushing out all my earlier thoughts, filling with new worries for my friend, "no, was it louis?!" i say with my heart slightly starting to break, hoping that whatever it was wouldn't break her heart
"he found me" she says raising her head to look up at me "he called me today"
instantly realizing who she met, how did he find her? rage starts to build bringing back all the memories. memories of sarah crying her eyes out, and not leaving her room for days. memories of her 20th birthday being a disaster, but then also remembering her 21st birthday exactly one year later, watching her make a full turn around and finding the love of her life.
"why would he want to talk to you after everything?" i ask now hugging her
"i don't know." she says pulling away from the hug. "but this time i'm ending it once and for all, i can't have this torment me. it cant. and i would let it." she says with a fire of determination
light in her eyes.
"did you tell louis yet?"
"Kirsten, i never even told Louis anything about Johnny."
there it is, she said his name. i really cant believe it, yes its only been about a year since everything had happened, but so much has changed since then, it felt like years had passed. Johnny was Sarah's high school boyfriend who at the time i thought he would have been the one for Sarah. they dated for 3 years, everything was going amazing. but Johnny had a secert, a secert that would bring Sarah to her breaking point. A point i would never want to see her in again.
"Sarah, i'm telling Louis.. you can't have that freak creeping around trying to find information about you, Louis could help put a end to it."
"No! me and Louis are kind of shaky right now, and talking about something like a ex-boyfriend is the last thing i want to do right now."
knowing i should not mess with my friends relationship i dropped it, plus sarah had left to her room closing the door behind her.
i sighed leaving out some of my worry, yes i was terried for my friend but i couldnt help but think about what had happened yesterday.
sitting down on the couch, i pulled the locket out of my pocket, running my thumb over the gold heart shaped jewlery. it was beautiful, with the diamond in the center. i sighed laying back against the couch.
Yesterday, after Sarah and Louis left the coffee shop to go skiing, i picked up a newspaper and started flipping through, which was werid for me cause i never even think about reading a newspaper let alone coming near one but anyway i found a article for bus tours to towns around london. Yes, i love london but i was looking for a way to get out for a little.
looking through the article page i saw that they were taking trips 3 hours out of the city of london, being curious to see the life style around london i took off to get to the the next departure time.
