Short chapter. Thank you for your lovely reviews. :)
The three of them had spent for an hour looking for her. The streets were quiet as everybody was in bed just a few people walking down the street of Brighton.
"Where the hell is she? I don't know where else to look? Maybe she don't want be found maybe we should go home?" Jen asking her friends. She was tired and upset that she couldn't find her & even if she did would she want to speak to her?
"Jen you can't give up now?" said David
"He's right, you can't. You need to find her" turning towards Jen.
"Your right I do. I just wish we could find her & know that she is safe.
"Look you try this street" which was the road opposite to where David was pointing to.
And me & Sian looks this way" pointing the other direction.
Jen made her way up the high street which was leading to some shops where a few people were. Walking past the café where Tilly was. Not noticing that she was there.
Tilly had been chatting to this mysterious guy with him mainly doing the talking. After a while he said his goodbyes to Tilly leaving her on her own.
Jen was beginning to think that Tilly didn't want to be found but she couldn't give up, she needed to find her.
Jen made her way back to where Sian & David were. Walking back past the café noticing Tilly sat inside. Making her way inside, taking a deep breath.
"I've been looking for you everywhere!" said a worried Jen.
Tilly made eye contact with her for a brief second then looking anywhere but Jen. Jen took a seat next to her, noticing that she was going to have to start the conversation.
Taking a deep breath. "What you heard earlier about me…. Which made Tilly look up.
"Well…..that was the old me. Who didn't do relationships. I was young. I'm not that person anymore Tilly."
"If you say that you are not that person anymore, then what about you're ex Hannah. You cheated on her."
"I didn't cheat on her, we broke up. Okay we didn't officially tell each other but we both knew in our hearts that relationship was dead." Jen defending herself.
"I would never do that to you if that's what your worried about. NEVER! What we have been through so much."
Tilly listened to what Jen was saying taking it all in, she felt such a fool for not listening to Jen.
"I'm sorry for the way I acted. I should have let you explain."
"Yeah you should of but I'm glad that I have found you. All sorts have been running through my head."
Jen, I'm not child I can look after myself."
I didn't say you couldn't but I care about you. To me it will always where you are?"
Tilly smiled. "Your friends must think I'm a right idiot? Walking out like that"
"Who cares what they think" Jen shrugging her shoulders.
"Well I care." Said Tilly. Jen smiled at her grabbing her hand across the table.
"Look, don't worry about it. They are just as much as concerned where you were as I was."
"So are you coming back with me?"
"Do you want me to?"
Jen nodded of course I do. All I want to do is crawl into bed & sleep." Getting up from her seat. With Tilly following.
Tilly went to the ladies while Jen waited outside calling Sian & David to let them know she had found Tilly.
As Tilly came out the ladies she saw the mysterious guy waiting for her.
"Hey!" said the tall dark hair guy.
"Hey" smiled Tilly
"I thought you'd left? When I came out you were gone."
"No, just been to the ladies. I'm gonna make a move now my girlfriend is here."
"Made up then?"
"yep." Smiled Tilly.
"So where is she then?" looking around to see where she was.
"Oh she's outside" pointing to where she was.
The mysterious guy face dropped. The face was familiar to him but how did he know Jen?
"Right, well now that you're going I'm might as well make a move too." Making his way out of the café along with Tilly.
Jen had her back to Tilly ending the conversation she was having on the phone.
"Jen, we ready"
"Sian & David are just about 5 minutes away from us, so I we shall meet….." turning to face Tilly.
Mouth wide open Jen stood there in shock lost for words. Starring at the mysterious guy.
"Hi Jen, been a long time."
"Joe" was all Jen could muster out.
