It's still quiet as most people are at school or work, following their strict schedules. I didn't say goodbye to Matthew. It's too late to turn back now, my old life has been left behind.
I didn't even think to bring anything with me, not that I have anything worth taking. How will I fight the cold? I only have my clothes on me and nothing to change into tomorrow.
As I'm walking along I bump into Will. His tall figure stands over me and I'm taken aback. "Will, I- what are you doing out here?"
"I could ask you the same thing."
"Don't go there, look I need to go, I can't talk now."
"What is it? Are you ok?"
"I'm fine but I can't stay here."
"Why not?"
"I just can't, Will."
"Well I'll come with you, you can't leave me behind."
"You're better off without me: I'm a mess."
"You're my mess Violet."
He looks down at me with his warm puppy eyes and tugs at my hand. We run together, feet pounding on the tarmac, not caring about all of the rules we are breaking. We are free. When we get to one of the few areas hidden from the CCTV cameras his warm lips gently brush mine. He puts his hands in my tangled hair; I pull my arms around his muscular back. I close my eyes and savour the delicate taste of his mouth on mine. I want this moment to last forever but it won't and it doesn't. He slowly pulls away before grinning at me. "So, where are we off to them?"
"Well, I was hoping that you would help me decide."
"Ah, so you have no plans at all?"
"Absolutely none."
"Brilliant." He slides his hand back into mine and we are off again, leaving our pasts behind.
