When I came to live here, I didn't suspect it was so... empty.

I've always dreamed of living in London, however, now I'm not so sure anymore. I got a job at the local club two streets down my house, it's nice but there's always a little bit of tension.

I've always thought London would be bright, lovely, full of people. Not dark, cold and so empty. And than there's the feeling that i'm being followed constantly.

To sum it up, I thought I would enjoy it here, though, I do but I'm scared to walk alone on the street. Afraid something bad will happen.

That's why I'm calling my best friend, Charlotte to see how she's doing. She's still in Cheschire, however, she is coming to London next week. I hopefully won't feel so alone then.

"Hazzy!! How are you baby?!" She screams through the phone making me pull back with a wince.

"I'm fine, Lotte. What's up?" I ask as I turn in another street. It's like a maze here, you can can lost pretty easily.

Charlotte starts rambling about how she and Eloise went shopping and all that stuff. Charlotte, Eloise and I are like 'the three musketeers'. My mum gave us that name.

The relationship between us three is very... weird. Well, it's a cliché story on how we became friends. I was being bullied by a couple of guys and Charlotte saw and made a huge scene, she started screaming and she even bitch slapped one of them. We have been friends since then. She was already friends with Eloise, but i've always been leaning towards Lotte more.

But those girls are the best thing I've ever had.

"Harry? Are you listening?" Charlotte's voice snaps me out of my thoughts and I hum.

"Oh really? What was I talking about then?" She asks smugly because she knows that I wasn't.

"Euhm...boys?" I guess.

"Nope." She states and I already know that she's smirking.

"I'm sorry, Lotte. It's just that I'm not really to talk about shopping and all that stuff." I mumble while looking around and see that I'm just at front of my appartement.

"Oh, are you okay? Are you eating alright? Did you take your medication? How's London? Any new friends?" She quickly fires questions but I can hear her worried tone.

"Yes, yes, of course, it's okay and no." I mumble while walking through the hall past the receptionist who nods and walk towards the elevator quickly. I hope there will be no other people around because they terrifie me.

Charlotte hums not seeming to believe me but doesn't push it with I'm glad for. "You said it's okay. Why? London's one of your biggest dreams." She probes.

I sigh for what felt like the one hundred time this day and unlock my front door, while explaining, "well, it's quite dark, and I feel so alone, it's like there are many people but no one at all... I don't know it feels empty. And there's also the thing that I've got the feeling that I'm being followed all the time." I trail off not knowing how to explain it all.

Lotte stays quiet for a few minutes and by the time that she finally says something I'm already on the couch with petunia (my cat) on my lap purring softly.

"I'm sure it will be okay if I'm there with you, Haz. It's just 'cause you're alone and not used to it." She answers softly but there's something about the way she says it is makes me wonder if she knows something I don't.

"Yeah, you're probably right. But I have to go now, I have to get ready for work now." I make up a quick lie and hang up after she says goobye.

I sigh and look around my small appartement. It's quite decent for the price limit that I have. I hreally have to start getting more money because with the income that I have now, I will be having problems soon.

I get up and go to the little kitchen and open the mini fridge, but seeing nothing inside. I groan and close it. I have to go out and go shopping. Goddamit.

I know it's short but I don't want anything big happening so soon so.... I hope you enjoyed it! I know it took long but I'm sick and I don't have wifi on the camping so that's a little hard.

I will probably update next weekend so look out for that!
