SWEET OCTOBER, TOM HOLLAND

PROLOGUE

0.0 prologue

It was one of the longest weekends of my life. I had just finished work. I got home and threw myself onto my bed, i didn't even have the energy to take off my shoes or my jacket..

I lay there for hours, staring at the same four walls just like i had done every night before. I dreaded every day that weekend. I knew I would have to go back in a few days and live the same day over and over again. I was so tempted to quit my job and run away with my best friend.  I finally got up and dragged myself to the kitchen for a snack, my cupboard was empty and so was the fridge. A few moments later i hear my phone ringing in my bedroom..

"ur a wee rat, why aren't you on the way yet?"

"shut up chloe, when did u even
say u wanted me to come over"

"do i have to ask? just bloody come"

"fine! i'll be there soon"

"hurry up"

end of call

i finally got there around nine o'clock. I said id be there around seven but let's be honest, when am i ever early?

We sat in silence most of the night, enjoying each other's company. it was never awkward, we were just boring and had nothing to do or talk about. we had already wasted our time swiping back and forth on tinder and taking the piss out of men in our city. There was barely any attractive men on that stupid app -well our type anyway- men here are disgusting. All they want is sex, drugs and to party every night. We didn't want a boy like that..Why couldn't we just meet someone nice and live happily ever after just like in the movies??

It was 3.00am... Chloe had already been sleeping for hours at this point. Something told me to check my spam email. I opened up my laptop and started to log into my email, I scrolled for a few minutes and sure enough! there was one there...
