Chapter 2 : A Fresh Start

Casey's P.O.V

*Exactly One Year Later*

So it's a year later and I am on my way to NYU.

Let me tell you how my year was.

For six months I was hung over over Aaron. Six fucking months, I know pathetic right?

I walked into school with a smile and tried not to break down every time they asked me questions about Aaron. I went home and cried myself to sleep. Checking my phone for messages or missed calls. Every five minutes.

Eventually I didn't see the point anymore. He didn't care about me so why should I give a fuck about him, right? You get where I am coming at?

Anyway I took a week off school and visited Jasmine in North Carolina. We spent some quality time together and talked about stuff that were important to us. We talked about our problems and made jokes about them afterwards. I went back home after a lot of crying and saying goodbye and I love you.

After that I decided to go on dates to see if I could meet someone that cought my eye. Sadly that idea didn't work out as planned. I was so used to Aaron. I needed time to adjust getting use to someone else.

So now I am on my way to college to get a fresh start. Completely forget about Aaron and maybe have some luck finding someone here. Someone who has a interest in me and really, like really cares for me. Because of Aaron I have developed abandonment issues and trust issues. Thanks asshole.

I took my time to get over Aaron and I am glad I did. I don't cringe at the saying of his name or people mentioning our past relationship. I don't give a fuck about him anymore.

I stop my car in a parking spot near the dorms at NYU. I can't believe I am actually here. An art major joining the big leagues.

I get my backpack with the essentials in to survive a night and get my clothes and all the other stuff tomorrow. Well it's in the afternoon, just thought I needed to tell you.

I get registered and walk to the dorms on my way there I bump into a guy. It's my own fault because I didn't look where I was walking.

I than look up to him. Once again I am smaller and shorter. Yay! Note the sarcasm.

I than say ,"I am sorry. Uhhmmm... I was just looking for my dorm room." He smiles at me and I must say he is actually kinda cute. He than asks ,"What's your number?" I than look at the paper and say ,"47."

He than says ,"Oh. That's just through here. Follow me." As we walk to my room I say ,"My name is Casey." He smiles at me as he walks and asks ,"Well, Casey. My name is Henri Ryder. What's your last name?"

I than say ,"Blue." He than asks ,"Like the colour?" I laugh and say ,"Yeah, like the colour." He than asks ,"So what you majoring in?" I than ask ,"Art and you?" He than says ,"Archeology, I just love the history."

Just as he says that we are at my room. Seriously couldn't it be a longer walk. He than says ,"Well here is your casa." I than say ,"Thanks for helping me find my room."

He smiles and says ,"If you need help with your luggage just give me a call or something."

He than starts to walk off and I walk after him and say ,"I don't have your number." He than says ,"Give me your phone." I give him my phone and minutes later he gives it back and says ,"Here now you have it." I smile and say ,"Thanks again."

He walks off and says ,"No problem." I walk and open my door with my key that they gave me.

I take the sight in and see it's like a little apartment for the two roommates that are gonna live in the same dorm. A kitchen, an en-suite for each student and finally a living room.
