Elysium

Chapter Seven

Time seemed to fly by as I sat with these boys, reminiscing on our stupid past experiences. I don't know what it was about us, but we seemed to click. Our personalities where nothing alike but the way we viewed things were quite similar. Mathew soon came to his senses and started opening up to me. Our love for writing and reading had bored the others so we decided to get together some other time and talk more about these things.

"I think we should start heading off soon." Ollie stated as the others and I looked around the restaurant to find that there had only been three people seated across the room, gathering their things to leave.

"Alright, yeah it's a bit late so I better start heading home." I state as I slowly get up and start wondering how I will find my way back to my cousins apartment. "You don't want us to accompany you and drop you off?" Adam asks. Although it was polite for him to ask it wouldn't be the right thing. Part of it had to do with trust and the other part with the fact that Carter wouldn't appreciate me giving out personal information to people I have met a couple hours ago.

"No it's fine, thank you for offering though. I had a nice time getting to know you guys." As I'm about to leave if feel a hand wrap around my wrist. I come to face with with Mathew, he smiles politely before he realizes what he had just done. "Sorry, I was just wondering if we could exchange numbers. So you know, we can get together and have our conversation about books and stuff?" His nervous tone makes me smile so I decide to jot down my number on to his iPhone with little to no battery.

I begging to walk my way through the cold city of London, the streets were still busy and the lights of homes seemed to illuminate the city. As I turned a corner, the street soon looked familiar and I noticed the building I was looking for was only a couple feet away. Relief flooded through me because I don't know what exactly I would of done if I wouldn't have found the apartment building. I rushed up the flight of stairs hoping that Carter wouldn't be so worried about me.

Before I could unlock the door with the spare key Carter had given me I could hear faint laughter from the other side of the door. As I unlocked the door I came to face with Liam and the strange girl sitting comfortably in the living room watching a movie.
