Just Friends

I held my acceptance letter in my hands and tried my hardest not to scream out loud. All my friends already got their letters and we would all be spread out all over the world. Tess had already left for college in the US, Holly was going to study in Paris and David and William were headed to Uni in Manchester. It all made me both sad and happy at the same time. Sad because I would miss my friends like crazy, and happy because this was what I wanted all along, to leave Holmes Chapel. For me it looked like I was moving to London. 'Queen Mary University of London welcomes Miss Lucy Wellington..' I read over and over. I picked up my phone from my pocket and dialled Harry's number, as I'd done so many times since he moved from Holmes Chapel two years ago when his bands career took speed. Exited as I was I waited anxiously for him to pick up. I heard his breathing on the other line and before he said something I cut him off. ''Guess what!?'' he laughed ''no, what?'' I could almost see his smile over the phone. ''I got in, I got in, I got in'' I screamed trough the telephone to my best friend who gave away a sound which did not sound human at all. ''Are you freaking kidding me? We're gonna live in the same town again'' he screamed back at me. The overwhelming feeling of happiness spread to my body as he said that last sentence. We would finally live in the same town again. And I was more than up for spontaneous movie nights, late night walks and best of all? I didn't have to miss my best friend anymore.


''Sure you've got everything now, ey?'' my dad joked and pointed towards my car that was filled til' every last space. I nodded and gave him a big smile before I hugged both of my parents where the were standing outside our white house. ''I'll miss you guys'' I sighed. ''Honey, we will miss you too. So, so much'' mom said with tears threatening to escape her eyes. ''Mom, please don't cry. You will make me cry'' my mom laughed, as she was trying to not cry. I jumped in my black Range Rover and waved to my parents before I started the car. I left Holmes Chapel and my thoughts took over my head. How was my new life gonna be? Will I feel lonely in my new apartment? What if I don't make friends at uni? And would I make it by my own in the capital? I was only eighteen but with this move I suddenly, for the first time, felt independent.

I parked my car outside my new flat which from the outside looked to good to be true. It was only 3pm and I wondered if the moving company already moved all my furniture inside when I saw the company car outside the house. I quickly got out of my car and took a few deep breaths. Feeling the London air inside of me. ''Smells like shit, huh?'' I jumped at the voice behind me and turned around to see my best friend Harry. He smirked at me and opened his arms inviting a hug. I flew into his arms and wrapped my hands around his neck while I let out a loud scream. His hands were placed around my waist and he hugged me tightly while lifting me up for a second. He let me down and placed a quick kiss on my forehead. ''You're here'' he said and let go of my waist. ''And you're here, I thought you were on the european tour?'' ''We got home yesterday'' I hugged him again just to make sure it was real. Because it sure felt like a dream. ''So, does the lady want help with her belongings up to her new flat?'' he said firmly. ''Why yes, thank you, my lord'' I joked back.

The door to my flat closed behind us as the moving company people left. After me bossing them around the last two hours they probably were pretty satisfied with finally being done placing the furniture. I sighed and opened the balcony door, in the livingroom, which had a great view over Hyde Park. I stood there for a few minutes just taking it all in. The flat was great. With a joint kitchen and livingroom, two bedrooms and a big bathroom. One of the bedrooms I'd decided to make my own office, as grown up as that sounds. I planned on studying in there. ''Breath taking, huh?'' Harry interrupted my thoughts. ''Uh-huh'' was all I could say due to being completely speechless.

The clock was almost midnight when we were done. Harry had decided to stay and help unpacking everything and install my tv, which I would have struggled with if I'd have to do it myself. Me and technical things, not the best combo if I planned to stay alive long enough to live my life. Busy packing up we'd forgot to eat dinner, which my tummy nicely reminded me of. Loud and clear. Harry chuckled lightly ''pizza?'' ''pizza!'' I confirmed.
