I had never realized just how lonely New York City, especially at night. The nights had been the worst; I was used to wandering around during the day, but since leaving the comfort of Alex's bedroom, night had become the scariest part of the day, sometimes leaving me wondering if I will live.
Scary right? I missed Alex; I missed her voice, her smile, her laugh and her eyes. I could still feel the sensation on my lips from when I kissed her head, lame right?
My eye still hurt but the bruising had subsided and people had stopped looking at me weird. I hadn't seen those guys since they beat me up the first time, I hadn't seen anybody I knew since running away 7 days ago.
The hardest part about running away was finding food, thank god for hot dog vendors who didn't leave their stands very well guarded, and finding places to sleep, thank god for park benches that were on streets where if a beat down took place people would notice.
The only problem, I was getting sick of hot dogs and park benches, all I really wanted was a sandwich from Waverly Sub Station and I sleeping bag with Alex's pillow that smelt like her lavender shampoo, I'm no creep I just like the smell of her hair.
Tonight I found a bench on Park Street about 100 yards from a street lamp, 40 yards from a hot dog vendor and surrounded by streets and apartment buildings on all sides, the perfect candidate, I started setting up camp, my stomach growling with hunger for an Italian Sub.
As though somebody had read my mind, I was suddenly hit in the back with something that felt like a sandwich, I turned around 2 seconds too late, unable to grab the sandwich and it fell to the ground.
I heard a laugh in the blackness of the night. The laugh I missed so damn much, I smiled to myself, searching the darkness for her.
"I always knew you had horrible hand-eye coordination." She stepped out from a store front about 30 feet from where I was standing, her brown eyes twinkling, and her smile dazzling. I smiled wide and she approached me, before I could say anything her arms had engulfed me in a hug.
The hug was warm and invited and I pulled her tighter against me. She giggled in my ear. I could help myself for smiling even wider.
She pulled away, hesitated slightly when our faces were face to face. I was unsure of what to do; all I wanted to do was stay here in her arms forever. She smiled sheepishly at me, I felt her breath on my face and then on I moment of passion I kissed her.
That's right, kissed her, on the lips, and I liked her. At first she was taken aback but she shared the same feelings I did and after a moment she was just as into it as I was. No, it didn't go any farther than that, we didn't even open out mouths! But I still felt as though it was too much for us to handle.
I pulled away, slowly and she caught on to what Justin was doing. It took them both a minute to look at each other again.
Her face was slightly flushed, and I could guarantee that so was mine.
"It's good to see you Alex, but is there a reason you're here?" I asked and she looked ashamed, looking down at her shoes in embarrassment.
"I wanted you to come back." She mumbled and I only barely heard her. I noticed her face turn a crimson color and I went over to rub her shoulder. She started crying.
"Shh, Alex its ok don't cry, but you know I can't come back."
"But…the people…they don't know…where you are…you'll be safe…I promise." She barely got all the words out, due to the sobbing that had started.
She had a very good point; they didn't know I was staying with Alex, maybe I could give it another try.
"Alex, I will make you a deal," she nodded and lifted her head, her gaze meeting mine, "I'll come and stay with you, but if something happens again, I will have to leave." She nodded and started crying again, only this time it was much lighter and happy. I smiled. I loved seeing her happy.
"Sounds like a deal." Her eyes twinkled. Instead of shaking hands, we hugged, knowing that we would not be separated for a while.
We walked back to Alex's apartment, and I knew I had to be thankful for her.
