My heart was pounding against my ribs, my legs moving faster than they ever have before, my breath was shallow. My bare feet where hitting the hard, sometimes sharp sidewalk. I knew where my destination was, it was obvious. I must have been running for a few miles because soon enough I saw the familiar park. The swings now rusted, the monkey bars where falling off, the slides where dirty, the sand pit had grass growing out of it.
I sat down on the swing resting my legs and trying to get air in my lungs. Surprisingly I didn't fall once running here, I thought about everything that has happened. One they read my journal, two I spazzed out at them for it, three I just ran away from them; four they treated me with probably a few thousand dollars’ worth of wardrobe. So I guess, I DID more harm but they need to realize is I was going to tell them I just wasn't ready. I started humming then singing softly, Lights by Ellie Goulding,
"I had a way then losing it all on my own
I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now; the dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping now, the strength I need to push me
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
Home
Noises, I play within my head"
I wasn't aware that a small crowd had begun to form; I just kept belting the lyrics out with my eyes shut.
"Lights, lights, lights, lights
Lights, lights, lights, lights
(Home, home)
Lights, lights, lights, lights
Lights, lights
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home"
I finished and I opened my eyes, I saw around 20 or 30 people around me, I then heard clapping and cheering, begging for one more song. I saw a few girls around my age; I got off the swing and went up to them.
"Hey girls! What song do you want me to sing?" They thought about it before one was mentioning me closer, I came closer and she whispered it into my ear. I smiled, and nodded.
"Does anyone play guitar and have it with them?" I asked, someone raised their hand and I walked over to them. I whispered the song into his ear and he nodded.
"You’re insecure, don't know what for. You’re turning heads when you walk through the door...."
I finished the song and I saw even more people had gathered a man approached me. He was wearing a suit, and holding a briefcase.
"May I help you?" I asked him, "Are you currently signed to any record companies?" He said to me holding a professional looking business card.
"No, I'm only 13!" I said, he handed me the card saying, "Meet me here," He pointed to an address on the card.
"At one o'clock on Tuesday. With a guardian of course." And with that he walked off. I smiled, least my day started to get a little better. I walked back to the flat to see a fuming Louis, Liam, Harry, Zayn and Niall.
"Where have you been?!" Louis said, his eyes filled to the brim with anger.
"I went to a park." I stated simply, Louis walked over to me and grabbed my wrists clutching them so hard there was pain. At this moment he reminded me so much of my past I could bear it.
