Rainy days

Chapter 3: Gone.

'GOTTA STAY HIGH ALL THE TIME TO KEEP YOU OFF MY MIND'

I basically screamed the lyrics writing a note to my parents that they would probably ignore.

'Dear Mom and Dad,

Sorry, my dreams are calling. Their constantly calling me actually, in fact their so loud nothing else can be heard over them. I'm taking my uni money, you said to me and I quote 'Miley, that money is for you and you're future'. So I am going to take it and travel... the world. I only had a little time left of school and loads of people drop out so it's okay. I'm alone dreaming so I am alone in the dream.

Have a nice life

Love

Mill, Don't call me, you wouldn't normally, whats so different now?

x

I looked at the paper and sighed turning my music off and putting my computer into my bag. Silence deafened me, earphones.

'I cried tears you'll never see'

I wiped my face as I felt the first tear I'd cried in years roll down my cheek. Sniffing I walked down the stairs, grabbed my board put my coat on and walked out for the last time.

I leaned up against the bus stop post tapping my foot to my music, fall out boy play lists are the best. Maybe I should just go and buy a car... I mean I have a licence and it would save getting on loads of buses, yeah a car. My phone vibrated interrupting my music, I picked it up to a message from Sam.

It was becoming more and more obvious I didn't think this through, but why would I? I just want to live in the moment, that's all, I read the text

'You home babe? I'll get a McDonalds and rent a movie if you want, see you in 20? X'

Holy shit, what can I do?
Call him.
Maybe he'll join you?
He won't throw his education away Miley you idiot!
Wait... He already has.
Should I call him?
Should I.
Yes
No
UGH FOR FUCK SAKE MILEY.
CALL HIM. WHATS THE WORST THATS GOING TO HAPPEN?! YOURE GOING ANYWAY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
He picked up after two rings.

"Princess, how's it going?" I would miss the way he says that
"Sam," I stopped and breathed, I haven't felt nervous in forever, I built a brick wall of emotions years ago when I lost all my friends.
"I- I'm not home right now" Miley, whilst you're there give yourself a pat on the back and a round of applause, because that my friend deserved it. Notice. My. Sarcasm.
"Oh, where are you?" He didn't sound concerned just curious, he's so cute.
"I'm at a bus stop" here goes
"Um... why, you have a board..." I could almost see him raising an eyebrow at me.
"I'm- I'm going somewhere quite. Um. Far away." I gulped waiting for him to reply
"Oh, where you going?" Thank god he stayed calm.
"Wait why didn't you tell me" and there goes the calmness, seriously I've been in more fights than he has and he still worries about my safety for crying out loud.
"Sam I want you to listen to me- I'm going, leaving, I'm not coming back, I'm done, I'm finished. I don't want to just... dream about it anymore, I want to go and travel like I've always wanted. I love you and I- I'm-" I sighed massively I could hear him breathing quietly waiting for me to carry on.
"I'm sorry for leaving you" I looked down even though he couldn't see me.
"Miley-" there was a long pause.
"Wait there"
"What? Here?!"
"Yes there"
"But you don't even know which bus stop I'm-"

The call went dead and I let me tell you, I was so, so, sooooo confused. Suddenly the street went quiet and I heard a board coming around the corner. How did he come that quick?!
"Sam?" I whispered to myself because he was at the other end of the street so he couldn't hear.

He came over to me, getting off his board about a metre away. His black hair was slightly curly a red bandana held it up perfectly, his hazel eyes squinted a little as he put his board in his bag, he's hands were shaking... I don't know why but they were.

"Fuck" he cursed under his breath as he dropped his board. He stood up straight and buried his head in his tank top and lifted it back up again stretching his arms behind his head, his biceps flexed showing his perfect tan skin and his little tattoo of our promise on his hand.

It was a tiny anchor, I had mine on my hand too in the exact same place. Cliché as it was we promised that if we ever happened to be part of titanic 2 we'd jump at the same time. I know what you're thinking 'what the...' But it's a long story so just don't ask.

By this point Sam was stood in front of me looking perfect as always, his lips with that charming half smile I fell in love with. I couldn't help but slip a little smile.

"Hey" I said quietly not making eye contact, he was a little taller so I didn't really want to look up to him
"Hey princess" it really got me whenever he called me princess
"Look Sam I-" he put his finger under my chin gently lifting my head up to face him and then leaning in, I shut my eyes and enjoyed the moment whilst it was there. His lips came into contact with mine, I could fell small sparks everywhere as he placed tiny little kisses onto my lips as he normally did. We never really kissed passionately because we were only dating I guess, I mean he never called me his girlfriend or even asked me to be he just says I'm his princess so I just go with that. I hugged him, he held me softly until I slowly came away to talk.

I had words, they just didn't go into order and he seemed to speak first. Wait... what no. He got down onto his knee, no SERIOUSLY no. Please no, I'm too young I want to live I don't want to settle down yet, oh my god what should I do?!
"Miley Anne Ho- Princess," he took a Tiffany box out of his pocket, shit.
"Be my-" he slowly started to open the box and not the best time but I started breathing very fast and honestly I think I was having a panic attack but I tried to conseal it.
"Girlfriend" Dear god, thank you for the food and wifi you bless us with and thank you also for your guidance and knowledge that helps us with life. Today I especially thank you for blessing me with an angle you have send, named Sam, he is, as well as you my lord, my saviour.
Amen

I laughed off my nerves and Sam just smiled with his big cheesy grin and waiting for an answer. I looked in the box to a very small anchor with a little silver ring at the top, I couldn't think what it had to go onto but I just knew it was our promise.

"Sam you idiot, get up!" He laughed and got up standing in front of me. I did one of those 'I know how cheesy it is and I really don't want to smile' smiles and looked him right in the eyes as the bus went past.
"I can't really say no can I" I sighed and then started laughing making sure he knew it was a joke I ran up to him and hugged him again this time he grabbed me by the waist and swung me around.
"So that's a yes?" He put me down but kept his hands on my waist and I kept my arms around his neck
"Sam- bubs, if you jump, I'll jump"
He smiled his face full of delight as well as mine, but then I remembered I was supposed to be gone, oh for god sakes.
