December. It's close to the end of December; Christmas is coming soon and everybody is decorating. I've never been too fond of Christmas, considering Christmas is about spending time with family and friends and I don't have much of either. Most of my family is either dead or hates me. But that doesn't bother me too much. They kicked me out when I told them I was pregnant. Even my boyfriend left me. I knew I shouldn't have told them. After all I'm only 18. I have my whole life ahead of me. I just dont have the heart to get an abortion. So I decided I'm going to keep the baby and get a job. Just.. Not here.
I packed all my clothes and stuffed them into my trunk and just started driving. I didn't know where I was going but I couldnt go back home. I thought maybe I should drive up north and give the big city life a try. Maybe New York would be a nice change of events. Growing up in Kissimmee, Florida I've never really been to a big city like New York. Then I remembered I have an old friend that's in New York all the time. Shawn Mendes; well technically he's my step cousin on my uncle's wife's side of the family. But we're really close. I could barely even see where I was driving because my eyes where puffy from crying. Soon enough the Low Fuel light in my car started blinking. I stopped at a gas station, to get gas obviously.
I walked inside the gas station to get a sandwhich and chips or something and I noticed a tall boy starring at me. He had black skinny jeans with rips at the knees, a black hoodie and black sunglasses. From what I could see he was pretty cute. Not that I need to be looking at boys, considering the fact that i'm currently pregnant and running away from home.
"Hey." The boy says almost whispering.
"Did you say something?" I reply laughing a little.
"um, who? me?" He questioned obviously knowing I was talking to him since he's the only other person here besides the cashier.
"Yes you. You're the only other person here right?" There was a long awkward pause.
"Oh. Yeah. Right.. um, my name is Luke.. Hemmings." He introduced taking his sunglasses off. He had beautiful blue eyes.
"Alana Grace" I replied extending my hand for him to shake.
"So.. Would you mind if I take your number?" He asked shifting awkwardly.
"Uh, I guess that's alright. I could use a friend or two." I said grabbing his phone to put my number in.
