New Perspective [A Jessie J Fanfiction]

Chapter 2 - Undeniable Connections

It's been a little less than a month since we've been in London and I have to say things were going greater than I expected, well all but the weather which was fucking freezing. Luckily, with the extra money my Dad has been making, I was able to splurge and spoil myself with a nice coat.

I had also gotten my college stuff sorted out within the second week and now I'm back to studying accounting. I was done with my diploma and now about to start my degree program.

According to Lily, she was loving school as well. She always came home after school, rambling on about how much fun she had and how many friends she made. I think it's safe to say she's way more social than I am, considering I made zero friends in the time I was here.

The park up the road where I had seen that weird girl had become one of my favorite places. I would go there for long walks alone almost everyday or whenever I could. Much to my disappointment though, I never saw her again. I would find myself unconsciously glancing at the swings where id first seen her, almost longing for another glance of her...until one afternoon.

It was a cold, windy Friday afternoon and I had just finished my last class. Thank god. I usually walked home seeing it wasn't so far from where we lived. I couldn't wait to get home and have a long, hot shower then cuddle up in my blankets. I pulled my coat as tight as I could and braced myself as the cold air hit my face, becoming worse with every step I took.

However, as I was passing the park on my way home, something caught my attention...her. I stared in disbelief as I couldn't believe she was there after so long. She must've noticed me staring because her eyes trailed in my direction, locking mine to hers, as though she was holding me captive and there was no way I could escape.

She looked as gorgeous as she had the first day I'd seen her. Her short hair enveloped her face and her clothes hugged every curve and crevice on her body. She flashed me the widest smile and waved, just as she had the first time. I felt a smile tugging at my lips and I couldn't help from returning a smile just as wide as hers. I quickly waved back before continuing towards my house.

Later that evening, I was sat around the dining table with my parents and Lily as we all enjoyed the great food my mom had made us. My parents were rambling on about how they couldn't wait until I was married so they could have grand kids. My mind however, was too busy to focus and honestly, as much as I loved spending time with my family, I just needed to be alone. I finished my meal hurriedly and politely asked to be excused, polishing it off with one of those "I had a really long day and I'm really tired" excuses.

Why had she not left my mind? Why did I not talk to her? She seemed friendly..So many questions clouded my mind as I laid in bed. I had never met someone who had such an effect on me, hell I didn't even know this girl. Why did every part of me feel so drawn to her? Why did I feel like no one else existed around me in the moment our eyes locked? I couldn't be gay right? No of course not. Of course I didn't like girls. I was supposed to marry a boy and give my parents grand kids just like they said at dinner. Right?

A/N: I have to say, I'm not happy with this chapter at all. It's super short as well. I know I'm rushing it through right now but it's just so the real story actually begins. I also hate writing fillers. Anyways, I hope you guys like it better than I do :)
