'Midnight. Another night with out her. I cant believe I gave her up. I wonder if we would have made it,' the handsome young man thought as he unlocked the front door of his appartment. He went to the refigerator and grabbed the bottle of whisky. Downing half the bottle in one drink. Soon the young man slept on the couch, empty bottle on the floor;bright red hair covering his face.
The next day a major hangover struck and the red haired gentleman spent half the day by the toilet. His job was in the gutter, he knew, he would be fired for not comming in again. Three o'clock struck and he walked to the neareast store.
"Food," he muttered zombie like as he entered the the door.
After scarfing down two sandwhitchs and three bags of chips he made his way to the old english cottage at the end of the street. Three children ran out the door as he walked up the lane.
He took the thin letter out of his pocket whispering, "Now or never."
As soon as the kids disapeared around the bend, he walked up and placed it on the door step. He walked off as soon as he rang the bell, stopping just to hear the beautiful tell the door ringer she was coming. He was gone when she answered and would never return.
That very day he packed up his few belongings, grabbed his final pay check, and left the country.
'America, a fresh start with no memeories of her there,' he thought as he boarded the airplane. "So long home, good bye family, hello U.S.A.," he said taking the first step to a new world.
