Chapter One-Best friend

{ Hello there! This is my second fan fic and i hope you enjoy it! Vote and Comment thankyou! i love you all!}

It was a bitter Autumn evening in October. I was waiting for the bus to go and meet my dearest friend. The aura of orange and yellow leaves mix together and twirl to the floor. There was only a couple of people around, a tall young woman walking her golden retriver down the street into the park, an elderly couple all wrapped up in scarves and coats hobbling towards the little corner shop. The sun was just about setting this was my favourite time of the evening where the sun was still giving light just enough to see where you was going, a few stars appearing in the sky. When the bus i was patiently waiting for arrived, the usual late evening driver opened the doors allowing me to hop in. I handed the driver my pass. "Thankyou Amber" George said he was a nice man in his mid 50's with brushed back grey hair and always had a smile on his face.I gave him a nod and made my way towards the back of the bus. There was a young woman on the bus she was quite short with pale skin and long blonde hair she had a baby with her in a push chair, i walked past her and we exchanged smiles. I sat down and rummaged around my bag for my ipod it was black with a pink case i had bought i put my headphones in and scanned through my music selection. I was humming along to the tune of Passenger's let her go, his deep voice the flow of the melody mixed together perfectly.

The bus was slowly approaching my stop so i stood up and pressed the red 'stop' and made my way towards the front of the bus. George stopped the bus and i hopped off. "Thankyou, goodbye George!" I waved. "Good bye Amber, you take care of yourself now" He smiled, he was so sweet. "I will!" I smiled back and left the bus. I made my way to a small restaurant where my bestfriend asked me to meet them. The restaurant was only petite it was cosy with vintage decor it had a brown old wooden sign above the door and tall windows all around. I strolled around the corner the wind was blowing towards me which made my face scrunch up, I pulled my grey knitted scarf tigher around my neck. I approached the small restaurant greeted by a mop of messy ginger hair. 

"Amber!" Ed shouted

"Ed!" I replied as he strangled me in a hug. Ed loosed his arms from my neck and flashed me a smile as we walked in the restaurant. Ed and I had been best friends since we was about four, our parents met at a wedding they were sat at the same table and got on like a house on fire! Ever since then they have all been best friends. I don't remember it because i was only young but it was a story that my parents loved to tell at social family events.

A tall waitor with black spikey hair took us to our table and handed us two menu's.

So what brings us to this special restaurant?" I asked.

"W..well theres something i have to tell you" Ed said nervous looking down at his hands he didn't look happy.

"What's wrong?"I asked worried. Ed just sat there silent for a minute he looked up and exhaled deeply.

"I've been offered a job uh recording new music"

"What? Oh my god Ed thats great!"

"It's in America.."

i sat there for a second of two thinking about it.

" I mean thats still an amazing opportunity Ed!" I exclaimed 

The waitor came back over to take our orders, i had a slice of pizza with a salad and Ed ordered a chicen and bbq pizza, the waitor gave us a nod and went back to the chef with our orders. Ed looked unhappy and i didn't understand why? I mean America that was a great opportunity it has always been my dream to visit America if i had the chance i would jump to it! 

"Edward don't be so glum i don't understand why you aren't happy about this?!"

"Its for a year Amber, i have to go out there for a year thats a long time!"

I thought about it and it is along time, i wouldnt like to be away for that amount of time away from my family and friends. Ed hadn't been to America before either maybe he was scared because it would be so different? But i couldn't blame him it couldn't be easy making a decision like that. Our food arived and it looked delicious, i was so hungry i handn't ate scince breakfast the smell of pizza was delicious! Ed and I both munched on or meals and spoke about this whole America thing.

"When do you leave?" I asked

"2 days" Ed explained

"Wow really? That soon?!" 

"Yeah.." Ed said with a great sigh

"Don't you wan't to go? Have you made a final decision?" I asked

" No its not final but it has to be by tomorrow, i don't know you are right it is a great opportunity but it's just a long time!" Ed said.

I knew Ed really well but i couldn't figure out why he was holding back on this? Was he scared? I stopped asking questions and talked about something else trying to take his mind off it cheering him up a bit.

"What you doing tonight?" I asked still eating away at my salad

"I haven't really planned anything, i might go for a drink?" Ed said finishing his last slice of bbq pizza

"Do you want to go for a drink then watch game of thrones?" I asked, his face lit up like a five year old's in a sweet shop it made me laugh.

"Yes! I dont even have to think about that offer!" We both laughed. We finished our meal Ed payed the waitor for both of our meals.

"Aww Ed you didn't have to do that!" I exclaimed

"I didn't have to but i did because youre my bestfriend!" Ed was so sweet. I grabbed my bag and we took a stroll down the street towards the small friendly pub. It was colder out now it was later i grabbed both sides of my coat and wrapped them around me, Ed held out his hand offering me to hold it so i did.
