Hey so this is my first Fanfiction ever. I hope it's ok ;)
ZOE'S POV
I run. I just run. All I want to do is get away. I never want to see her again. Never. And so I run.
It's in the middle of June and it's getting dark in Manchester. I slow down and look around. Where the fuck am I? I've never been here before. Suddenly I recognize my breath is still heavy from running. I need to calm down so I decide to look for a bench. Right in front of some fountains I spot one and walk towards it. As I sit down I can already feel my feet hurt. I've been running around for hours. I ask myself if anybody misses me already. So I take out my phone although I already know the answer. No messages. No missed calls. Which wasn't surprising because I'm new here and I have no friends. And which wasn't surprising after what happened at home.
"I can't believe you're going out again!"
"Why can't you just grant me this date?"
"Because it isn't your first one! You're going out every evening! You are completely ignoring me."
"That's not true! I always take care of you."
"OK. Where were you on my performance last Friday then?"
"You had a performance?"
"See? This is exactly what I mean! Since Dad died all you can think of are men and sex! I can't believe you actually loved Dad. Do you even remember him? Do you…
"THAT'S ENOUGH! I won't put up with your behavior. I don't care about the opinion of an 16 year old girl. Sometimes I really wish you were never born!"
"Well why don't you go and fuck another man then? Maybe you can found a new family with new kids but be careful: they may could have the 'I'm-a-bitch-and-don't-care-about-others'-syndrome!"
Then I ran away.
I open my eyes to see that it's already night in Manchester. I ran away from home and now I don't know where to go. I get tired so I decide do just lie down on the bench for a while. It was 22 o'clock after all so this was going to be a long night. As I put my head down I can feel my eyelids getting heavier until I slowly drift off.
DAN'S POV
"Today was great! I've never seen you dance like this before, Dan."
"Thanks mate. Well, I guess I'll hang up now. See you soon PJ."
"Night."
It's 1o'clock in the morning and I'm on the way home. PJ took me to the new karaoke bar but now I'm tired and all I want to do is take a shower and then jump into my bed. Phil stayed at home because he wasn't feeling well.
I just reached the fountains to see that there, on the bench right in front of the fountains, was laying someone. Now, usually I don't bother about people laying on benches but the homeless around here knew that that bench wasn't a good place to sleep. Whenever it was windy you got wet from the water of the fountains. So I decide to go over and advise the person to search a better place. While walking towards I already can see the long brown hair. Although I know that there also exist guys with such long hair I'm sure it is a women. As I get closer I see that she is only covered with a thin cardigan. Her face is turned to the other direction so that I can't see it. But she definitely needs to get away from here otherwise she will get an influence. So I turn her face around to see…
Bloody hell! She seemed so young! I need to wake her up so I toss her. She doesn't move. I toss her again. She turns on her back and slowly opens her eyes.
"Hm…? "
"Hey you, you have to go away from here. You'll get ill!"
"Oh…yeah… just another few minutes…"
Then she yawns and falls asleep again. OK. That's it. I'm going to take you home with me. I know it is June but it's fucking cold out here. And I won't be responsible for your death. I'm sure Phil is going to understand this. I push my right arm under her neck and my left arm under her legs to lift her up. She doesn't weight much. Then I turn around to walk home.
With a complete stranger.
