18 // Harry Styles

I Got a Soul

* Our hands are intertwined as we wander through the park. I could hear birds chirping and laughter from the kids at the playground a few yards away. We were silent. Not a word was spoken. I didn't care though. The silence was comforting. These were the moment when if felt as though we were the only two people in earth. We were unstoppable. He loves me. I love him. We are in love.*

" Violet! Violet! Ugh! Are you even listening?"

"Huh? What? Sorry I've just been distracted."

"You need to forget about Harry and move on. He has."

"I know. But it's hard. I really thought he loved me. I loved him, and look where I am now. Escaping to New York and whining to my Best Friend."

"I know what you need!"

"What?"

"Alcohol."

"And where is that going to get me."

"In some strangers bed."

"No, drunk and lonely."

"Party pooper. You never know. Alcohol could be the perfect distraction."

"Are you trying to get me kidnapped and raped."

"Maybe....no but really, you have to get over him."

"Yeah. Well I have to go. Work calls. I will call you later okay Zoe?"

"Alright, bye Vi!"

Two weeks in New York and I feel at home. I have a job at a small cafe in the city and it pays good. I have an apartment that isn't too far from the cafe, and I'm taking classes online.

The first week was hard. I was living in and out of motel rooms and I barely had enough money to get by. That was until my mom gave me enough money to buy and apartment and pay the rent for my first 2 months.

My mom wasn't thrilled with the idea of me moving to New York on my own with no support but she understood that I needed a break. She agreed to help with money when I absolutely needed it.

My plan was to graduate my online classes and go into the photography business. I didn't just want to be a photographer though, I wanted to also work as a director of photography, so I would help make movies and such.

I quickly threw on a pair of black jeans and a blue t-shirt. I put in my white converse, grabbed my bag, phone, and keys. I slammed my apartment door shut ,after grabbing my coat, and locked it.

The walk to work was always my favorite part of the day. It gave me the time to relax and think about everything. I had always been a fan of the outdoors so having to walk everywhere in New York didn't bother me.

The wind blew my hair in my face but I didn't bother to push it back, it would only end up in my face again. The sidewalks were busy as people push and shoved trying to get to their destination. I took my time walking and was careful as not to bump into people.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I unlocked my apartment door and kicked my shoes off as soon as I got inside. I re-locked the door and went straight to the kitchen. Food was my number one priority. I set my bad and keys down on the table before shrugging off my coat. I decided I was in the mood for pasta.

After making my pasta and eating I settled on getting ready for bed. After all it was already 10:00. I washed my face and took my makeup off before stepping in the shower.

The warm water relaxed my tired muscles and made me even more tired than before.

After my shower I changed into my pajamas and brushed through my hair. I slipped out of my bathroom and into my bed. I wanted to get some class work done before tomorrow so I opened my laptop and got to work.
