I only had one more day to decide what I was doing. Leo and Victoria knew about my choice, Charlie still didn't.
I was wearing my black leggings, an oversized turquoise jumper, black beanie and my Charlie necklace which I hardly ever took off. My long, blonde hair is simply straight.
I'm sat in my room on the windowsill looking out over the town playing my guitar to myself singing Hero from Starstruck. I sat here just thinking about life and all the quick decisions I have to make.
I'm no superman
I can't take your hand
And fly you any where you wanna go, yeahI can read your mind
Like a billboard sign
And tell you everything you wanna hear
But I'll be your heroCause I, I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me, like gravity, I'll be unstoppable
I, yeah I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy
With heart and soul
But if you're the one for me
Then I'll be a hero
Oh, I'll be a hero, yeah
I'll be a heroSo incredible
Some kind of miracle
That when it's meant to be
I'll become a hero, ohSo I'll wait, wait, wait, wait for you
Yeah I'll be a heroCause I, I can be everything you need
If you're the one for me, like gravity, I'll be unstoppable
I, yeah I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy
With heart and soul
But if you're the one for me
I'll be a hero
Yeah, yeah I'll be a hero, yeah
I'll be a hero
HeroI often just sat up here on the windowsill. Just sat here and thought about everything. The sun was setting over on the horizon. I heard a knock at my door "Come in," it was Jordi.
"You alright?" He asked.
"Yeah I suppose,"
"Have you made you mind up yet?"
"I don't know. I want to go, it's a dream come true; being a professional dancer. But then there's Charlie, Victoria, Leo, you, Mel and mum and dad,"
"Em, you need to do what makes you happy for once and don't worry about everyone else. It's your choice. It's time to stop thinking about everyone and put yourself first for a change and let everyone else adjust to your choice instead of you adjusting to theirs,"
"I suppose so, I just don't want to let anyone down,"
"Emily either way, you will never let us down,"
"Thanks Jordi,"
"What am I here for? Anyway, what where you playing a couple of minutes ago? Can you play it for me now?"
"Okay," and I played the song again for him. However this time, I listened to the lyrics of it rather than just sang it for fun. When I'd finished, Jordi clapped and I gave a blushing smile.
"Jordi?"
"Yep,"
"I've made up my mind, I'm going to New York,"
"If that what makes you happy, I'm happy,"
"Thanks Jordi but do me a favour, don't tell Charlie,"
"I won't, I promise," and with that he left. I began packing immediately. My life was about to change. For the better or not is yet to be discovered but then again, what is life without risks? If I don't like it, I can always come back. I've got nothing to lose but everything to gain and I know that if I just stay here I will always ponder over 'what if...' And I don't want to do that anymore. I knew that now, I never, ever wanted to take this necklace off...
To: Victoria👭, Leo👦
I'm really sorry guys, I'm leaving for New York tomorrow. I'm really sorry, meet me at the airport tomorrow. Love you guys xxxx
I don't know what to say to Charlie, I'm going to miss him loads. He's my everything. My world. I'm not going to say anything to him, I'll just say I'm off on holiday as he's coming around in two hours. Charlie will buy that... Won't he?
**2hours later**
Knock knock! I ran downstairs and opened the door to Charlie and leapt into his arms, weary that this maybe the last time for a matter of months.
"Whoa princess, you okay? I've only been away from you for 24hours," he smiled
"I know," then we both leaned in and kissed. I lead him upstairs and I sat back up on the windowsill.
"You really like sitting up there don't you Em," Charlie giggled putting his bag in the corner. "What's the suitcase for?"
"I'm going on my own to Grandma's for a few days,"
"That's a lot of stuff,"
"What can I say? I'm a girl!" Charlie came and pulled me down from the windowsill and sat on my bed so I was sat on his knee.
"I got you this..." And he pulled out a gorgeous Pandora charm which had C+E engraved on it.
"Charl... It's... It's amazing! It's so pretty! Thank you so much," I smiled hugging him tightly.
"I'm glad you like it," I added it to my bracelet.
We both changed into our pyjamas and cuddled.
"Our relationship isn't like a typical teens is it," I said.
"What do you mean? In what way?"
"Like we've both got our careers planned ahead for us already and I'm only 16 and your 17,"
"I know what you mean. It's like everyone else knows how my future is going to plan out before I even do,"
"Exactly,"
"Do you think that's bad?"
"I think that there's good and bad in it all. So long as we stay grounded, we'll be fine,"
"It's just scary,"
"Very scary,"
"In this past year, we've had to grow up so quickly. BGT set Leo and I on the map. That was a big responsibility from the get-go. Juggling touring and schoolwork was hard. And for you, your dance career shot up from the showcase. Offers right, left and centre. Staying focused took a lot. I'm proud of you baby girl,"
"I'm so proud of you too baby,"
We both fell asleep in each other's arms. Perfect.
**the next day**
It's the day I'm leaving. I still haven't told Charlie. Right now, I'm saying goodbye to him because he's going out for a meal with his family.
"Bye Emy, I love you lots. I'll text you later,"
"Bye Charl, I love you too and okay,"
He kissed me one final kiss.
"Bye princess," he said an blew a kiss as he walked away.
"Bye Charlie," I replied.
"For a few months," I thought...
