Chapter Thirty Two
A loud annoying sound woke me up and as soon as I opened my eyes, sunlight invaded my vision and I had to close them again. I turned over, facing away from the window, only then realising the annoying noise were seagulls. The balcony d
So, I’ll be honest, I am starting to struggle a little bit with writing this book. I feel that taking that break and putting this book on hold was a big mistake. I am going to continue writing it because it's signed to Good novel, so I have to and obviously, I’m still going to put my 110% into this book, but i am really hitting a wall with it again *sigh*
Chapter Thirty Four** A few days later **I leaned up and shoved my bags in the overhead storage compartment and took my seat next to the window. I was so excited to get home and see everyone. My parents had offered to come and get me, but I already had my train tickets booked and honestly, I find riding the train strangely relaxing.We weren’t due to leave for another 15 minutes or so, but I had gone and got a Starbucks frap and a nice sandwich from the station shops before getting on, knowing I’d have some time to kill before we left. I took my phone out and sent mum a quick message saying I was on my train now and I would let her know when I was close to home so she could come and pick me up.As soon as I sent
Chapter Thirty FiveAs soon as I got into the cafe and ordered myself a coffee, mum said she was on her way. My parents lived about 15 minutes from the station, so it wouldn’t take too long for her to get here. I had more than enough time to sit down and enjoy (most) of my coffee before I had to head through the station and out into the street.Sure enough, When I came out, I looked around and saw my mum's car across the small car park. I went over and leaned down in the window, smiling. As soon as my mum saw me, she beamed a smile back and gestured for me to get in the car. I put my bag in the back seat and climbed into the passenger side.She leaned over the car and gave me a big hug and I just took a minute to really enjoy it.It
Chapter Thirty SixI woke up the next morning, naturally. It felt good to have one morning where an annoying alarm wasn’t splitting though my dreams to wake me. I had gotten off the sofa at some point last night and crawled up the stairs to my old bedroom. I stayed, laying in bed and just looked around the room. Nothing had changed. I had left a bunch of stuff here when I moved out, just things that weren’t important enough to take with me but too important to throw away.Photos of old memories lined the wall, in a teenage-style collage. I smiled, looking at them, although being across the room in bed, I couldn’t make out what half of them were.Groaning, I rolled over in bed and pulled the duvet up to my chin. Snuggling under it, not wanting to get up. I could already fee
Chapter Thirty Seven** A few days later **I was on the train home again. It seemed like only yesterday I was heading to my parents and now I had left them already. I had even stayed a day more than what I originally planned, I just didn’t want to say goodbye, I missed them so much and I definitely wasn’t going to leave it that long before I went and visited them again.I had stayed in contact regularly with James while I was on my little home-break. We spoke a lot more than we did before, infact, we chatted pretty much constantly when he wasn’t at work or busy and I wasn’t busy with my parents.We still had our little coffee date planned for this weekend and honestly... I was really excited. Like...
Chapter Thirty EightAs soon as I started to get ready, the hours seemed to fly by and before I knew it, James was texting me to tell me he was on his way. As soon as he did, I started panicking. What if he wasn’t as cute as I remembered?! What if I wasn’t as cute as HE remembered?!I found myself obsessively checking myself out in the mirror, hoping every time I did that i would look the same… of -fucking- course I’d look the same. I was driving myself crazy. Since we were staying in tonight, I was very confused about what I should wear. I wanted to look nice, but obviously NOT overdressed, I wanted to look cute but not like I was trying too hard.So, I went with some skinny jeans and a nice casual, yet slightly cleavage-revelling, top.
Chapter Thirty Nine** A Few Hours Later **The food had arrived a little while ago and we were already two episodes deep into the tv show. It seemed strange to start on season 5 of a tv show together, but with something like American Horror Story, it didn’t really seem to matter where you started it. Every season was like a completely new show anyway.Either way, I was enjoying myself. We had good entertainment, good food and I certainly had good company. After we had eaten, we got back into the position we had been in all evening, James had his arm draped effortlessly over my shoulder and I was leaning against him, comfortably. My hand on his mid-thigh.I was so comfortable… that was… until my phone started ri
Chapter FortyA few weeks had passed and I was stuck in a rut. I would just mope around, not doing anything of value, then eat dinner, mope around some more, have a bath and go to bed. I wasn’t depressed, that would be dramatic, but I was… lost, I guess you’d say. I just didn’t know what to do to make myself happy anymore.I hadn’t heard from James AT ALL and I don’t know why. Well, that's not true, it was obvious why He used me for sex. Of course, I wanted to sleep with him too, but I thought that, well... To be honest, there was something more there, but I guess not.A quick fuck and then sneak out while I was sleeping, Maybe he did this with other people too, who knows. I actually thought I had made a complete fool of myself. Of course, it was just ab
