I could feel my heart beating; beating so fast that I felt it would rip my chest. In a single moment, I knew; I knew that my life was about change forever. Again.
She was back.
I was in the academic block of the university; on my way to the changing rooms to hit the field when my iPhone pinged with a message from Seth.
Kiera is back.
That is all it took for me to feel my heart beating again. Just the news of her being back here is all it took for me to slowly descent back into the madness.
Or out of it for the first time in three years.
All I wanted right now was to see her but I knew that seeing me would be the last thing she ever wanted.
How can one ever move on from a history like ours?
So, I waited and tried to stick to my routine knowing all too well that my life is about to be hit with a storm soon.
I could feel my heart beating; beating so fast that I felt it would rip my chest.
It was like reading an old book after losing your memory, like a strong sense of familiarity to something that is lost in memory. Like a new beginning on an old path. It's been three years since I have been to Oxford. But I had to come back because even after everything, it is home.
I wish I could say that I was excited to meet Mum again, I was excited to see Seth and Sharon but I know I will be lying because since I got my acceptance letter, I know I have had only one person on my mind.
I entered the academic block walking directly through the familiar corridors right towards administration department to submit my application forms. I still have a week before college starts but being back here has already started to hit me.
I wish I could delay my life for a week.
I messaged Seth telling him I was back and to meet me at 'The Bistro' in two hours. As soon as I hit send, I knew that Liam is going to know in a minute and with that thought lingering in my mind, no matter how hard I tried, my heart was not ready to calm down.
