chapter 37

(a week later) MICHAELS POV

"Okay baby, im nearly at your dorm now." I hum into the phone as I walk through the campus towards Lauren's room.

I arrive at the door of her dorm room and knock quickly, she opens almost immediately, looking slightly unwell.
I sit down on her bed and she sits in my lap, my chin resting on the top of her head.

"im thinking of quitting uni." I sigh, almost hoping she didn't hear.

she sits up and turns around so she is making eye contact with me.

"What?! why!" she asks.

"I just hate it, I never go to lessons and im just paying to live in a shitty box room with my ex best friend."

"where are you going to live? what are you going to do?" she asks frantically.

"I've found a small flat. it's nothing special but it'll do for me. it's only a few miles away, I'll still come here and see you and sit in the cafe and stuff but I just hate uni. my parents have offered to pay my rent for me and will send me money whilst I look for a job. it'll work."

"this is just, so, sudden." she says, shocked.

"yeah, I know." I sigh. "I've been thinking about it for a long time though. what's the point of me being at uni when I don't even bother going to lessons and I don't know what I want to do. it's just stupid."

"I understand what you mean." she sighs.

there are a few minutes of silence until she chuckles.

"fuck it." she says, making me gasp. "let's leave together."

"what?!" I say, almost jumping up off the bed.

"you heard. it's pointless. I want to live in the moment. let's get out of here and make some stupid decisions that we're gonna regret one day. let's go live."

"okay." I say, feeling suddenly excited. "where shall we go?!"

"I have a plan." she chuckles, getting up and pulling her coat on. "come on!" she says, beckoning me as she opens the door.
