Run To You

Chapter 7 - The Hard Decision

Only a few hours after Josh left there was a knock at the door, it was Josh. Before I could say anything he asked me "you know what kind of car I was planning on buying?" I shook my head "it costs around $20,000, you know what that means?" He said, I shook my head again, "it means I have enough money to buy the both of us tickets back to Australia, if you get your old job back, you can afford to rent that apartment up the road from my house" I looked down.

This was the hardest decision of my life. Do I go back to my favourite country, back to my old life, with the boy I've loved for 2 years, but leave my parents and the new boy whom I really like, or do I stay here? A new start.
"Josh... I don't know what to do" I said, my voice cracked. He wrapped his arms around me. "I have a hotel" he told me "think about it. I'll come back tomorrow. I love you" he said, as he walked down the path.

I collapsed onto the couch. I've never cried harder in my life. I screamed into the pillows. How was I meant to choose?
I heard Danny running down he stairs, I got up and threw myself into his arms, he walked me back to the couch and lay there with me for a while, holding me in his arms. I felt like dying.

When I'd calmed down a bit I lifted my head. Danny's white shirt was soaked, and stained with my makeup, "I'm so sorry!" I said, he laughed and wiped away my tears "don't worry about it, all I care about is that you're okay"
"I'm not so sure I am" I mumbled, quiet enough so that he couldn't hear me.

"Danny, I need to think" I said "is it okay if you go home? I'll call you okay. I just need to be alone right now"

He looked worried, but nodded. I walked him to the door. He hugged me tight, kissed me and left.
I shut the door, then slid onto the ground.

"WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?" I yelled.
