But I'm Winning.... (Ricky Wilson Fanfic)

Chapter One

~New Beginnings~

Another late night. Work has been killing me lately, having to do double shifts is not the happiest of things. I need the money though, I'm trying to move back home to Leeds my home town. I moved to London when i did a course in film and media, but never did i think i would get a job as soon as i left! I started working for film company and had a good position but when i was told that i would have to stay in London i couldn't make the move. Leeds is home and i feel comfortable near home.

*DING*

I turned to my phone which was charging on the bed side table, i had a text from my friend back in Leeds, Lilla.

FROM-Lilla✌️

Helloo, got my apartment! You need to come stay with me now, gives you an excuse to job hunt!

She was right, it would be a great chance to look for jobs and start again. But more importantly, it was home.

TO-Lilla✌️

So happy for you! I'll take you up on that offer, when shall i come down? The sooner i start looking for jobs the better...

Leeds had some places i knew i could hunt for jobs, so i wouldn't be lost for opening.

FROM-Lilla✌️

AS SOON AS YOU CAN! When ever is best for you, i saw some job openings for that venue we are going to in two weeks time, they need a technical manager and Social media manger so why not go check it out?

The venue she was talking about was an old favorite of ours, we loved that place since we were teenagers. We saw every gig we could and had so many memories there.

TO-Lilla✌️

I'll give notice to the company but they will need a weeks notice at least so i'll be with you for the weekend we are seeing Jake Bugg? How long shall i stay with you?

FROM-Lilla✌️

You can stay with me till you need to leave! We can split rent and all that! It will be like old times!

I cant believe this was happening? I hadn't even got out of bed and i'm already planning leaving London!

I couldn't wait to leave, this week had better go quickly...

~2 Weeks Later~

I'd done it..

The week was over and thats it. No more London. These thoughts buzzed round my head as i packed the last of the boxes into my car. Only three hours stood between me and a new life, i couldn't help but think whether this was a good idea. I wouldn't be able to get another job like this at all, i'd start from the bottom and work up again. I filled up the car and set off, no more London..

"Now we have a new song by the band Kaiser Chiefs its called My Place Is Here playing now on BBC Radio 1"

The radio boomed out a song which startled me, i'd had the radio turned up by the last song and forgot i'd left it turned up high.

I'd listened to their other stuff and really liked it, i wasnt one of those crazy fan girls but i did really like their music. I sang away to the lyrics and before long i passed a sign welcoming you to leeds. Lilla's was only five or ten minuets away now. She had flat near the city, only a walk away. It was amazing from what she had showed me on text, it had a balcony which looked over the city.

I pulled up in the parking lot and gave Lilla a call, she could come help with the boxes, theres way to many for me to do all at once.

"Hello, i'm outside, fancy helping me with these boxes?" I asked and before long a girl stepped out onto a balcony and scanned the parking. When her gaze fell on my she started to wave, a lot.

"Be down in a min!" She shouted through the phone even though i could faintly hear her from the balcony.

She ran out the door and towards me with her arms wide open. She pulled me into a hug and I couldn't tell if she laughing or crying. I'd missed her so much.

"I've missed you so much!" Lilla said into the hug.

"I'm back bitches!" I jokingly said which caused us to burst out laughing.

"We are going out tonight as we, well I" she flicked her hair back sarcastically "need to go shopping, I want you're first proper day to be amazing!" She grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.

"Lilla!" I called and stopped "boxes?" I giggled.

"Oh god, forgot about that" she laughed and went to grab a box.

Once we moved all the boxes into the flat I decided to have a look around. There were two bedrooms, one of which was now mine, a bathroom and kitchen which was connected to a living room. The living room had a large window which looked onto the balcony and the city of Leeds.

"This place is amazing!" I walked back into living room after putting my bag in my new room.

"It's nice isn't it! Can believe I got it to be honest" she leaned on the counter in the kitchen and smiled.

"It's so big and the spot is just great, we could walk into town when ever we want" I sat on one of the sofas and stared out the window.

"Which is what we are going to do now! We need to look good if we want to pull at the gig tomorrow!" She pushed off the counter and grabbed her keys from the side.

"Who you looking to pull? Any thing i should know?" I raised an eyebrow at her sarcastically.

"No, its just you never know who you might meet!" She gave a cheeky smile and opened the door, "also, you need a house key!" She said while walking out the door.

"You've had a week! Why didn't you get it then?" Lilla is the type of person who forgets everything and leaves it till last minuet.

"I know i just forgot i guess!" She laughed and locked the door.

Leeds was as busy as always, people shuffled through the streets trying to get to where ever they were heading.

We looked through all high street and even some high end stores until we found the perfect outfits. Lilla had picked a pair of worn out style denim shorts with a cream top with cut out shoulders all pulled together with a pair of brown ankle boots. She looked so cute!

I chose a black mini skater skirt with a long sleeve jumper style cropped top, under the skirt i wore black tights with a pattern at the very top just before the end of the skirt. I wore a small heel as i'm not a tall person, plus they make my legs look longer and thinner.

I'm getting better i can feel it!

Sorry for any spelling or gramma mistakes i'm not good at picking them out

Enjoy!
