The next thing i knew, i was running to the elevator to stop Simon. But he was gone. I HAD to stop him.
I got into the elevator and waited for it to reach the first floor.
'Come on, come on!', i said.
Eventually it reached the ground floor. I ran to the front desk.
'You have to get me a taxi!', i said.
'It will be 10 minutes', said the woman behind the desk, in a snooty voice.
'You don't understand!', i said, 'it's an emergency!'
'It will still be 10 minutes!', said the woman.
'Right!', i said, 'you get on that phone and tell him to drive faster or i will scream this place down you fucking posh bitch!'
I hated swearing, but this was an emergency!
Not surprisingly, the taxi came pretty soon.
Eventually i got in and asked the driver to drive me home.
'I can't drive you that fair 'luv', said the taxi driver.
'Here!' i said, tossing a few twenty pound notes at him, 'that enough!'
'Sure!', said the taxi driver.
I was on tenderhooks the whole way home.
Eventuallly the taxi arrived outside my house. I ran and dumped my bags in the front door.
I ran to Jay's house. The door was open, and i went inside. 'Jay?', i called, 'Simon?'
I went into the kitchen. The whole place was a mess. I was starting to get panicky. 'Jay? Simon?'
Then i heard a sound from upstairs. It sounded like someone choking.
'JAY?!', i cried as i ran up the stairs.
When i opened the door, i couldn't believe it. Simon was there with his arm around Jay, and he was crying hysterically.
'Simon?', i whispered.
'Lauren!', said Simon, 'i'm so sorry. I didn't know why i left you there like that.'
'It's ok', i said, 'everything is fine.'
'Lauren?', said Jay.
'Hello', i said, smiling shyly at him.
'I'm going home', said Simon, 'but i hope you will be happy Lauren.'
'Thank you Simon', i said.
After Simon left, Jay and i talked for a while. We were going to take things slowly.
That all happened two years ago now. Jay and I are still together, and we're still friends with Will, Neil, and Simon. Simon even has a new girlfriend, Tara.
We're so happy. Everything's perfect!
