I ran and kept running until I was at the park, the rain mixing with the tears fast falling from my eyes, I fished my phone out of my pocket.

*******
"Where are you taking me " I asked Vic, he had his hands covering my eyes and was guiding me were to go
"Em's if i was to tell you, that would ruin the suprise, that I put a lot of thought into..." He chuckled"... anyway open your eyes" he removed his hands from in front of my face.
We were in a park, he'd laid out a picnic on the dry grass.
"What's the special occassion?" I asked sitting down and getting comfortable.
"Does it have to be a special ocassion for me to show my best friend how awesome she is..." He smiled ".... But actually there is actually something I need to tell you Em's"
"And what would that be?"
"Well you know how I wanted to put a band together and stuff, and that I've written some songs..." I nodded "... well they got noticed, we got signed and we've been asked to record them and put out an album" He beamed
"Oh that's amazing...." I smiled hugging him tightly."...when do you start recording?"
"We leave for Seattle, in 2 weeks" His smile still etched on his face, mine fading fast, In all the time we'd been friends we'd very rarely been apart, and if we were we'd misss each other too much and come home from wherever we were sooner.
"How long for?" I asked my eyes glued to the floor below me.
" A month and a half" He answered the happiness finally fading from his voice.
"Great" I uttered sacastically
"Em aren't you happy for me?" He asked tilting my chin up so my hazel eyes met with his brown ones.
"Vic, I am, I really am, this is an amazing oppourtuinty for you, but I'm scared that I'm gonna miss you too much" I sighed looking away from him, as tears formed in my eyes and threatened to fall.
"Em, we can talk on the phone everyday, we can make an arrangment for you to come and visit one weekend, please Em be as happy about this as I am" He begged, the sadness of his voice breaking though his tough outer shell.
"I'm trying to be happy about this, but phone calls, visits, it's just not enough. I need you in my life, don't you realise that? And if you just up an go I'll be lost without you" I blinked as the tears fell from my eyes now.
"Oh, Em, please don't cry, you know I hate it when you cry, look it's not long it'll be over soon enough and I'll be home before you even notice I'm gone." He wrapped his arms around my shoulders, pulling me tightly into his chest.
I nod against his warmth.
***************
I scrolled through my phone in search of my best friends phone number, we hadn't spoken in weeks but right now I needed him, I found the number and pressed the green dial button, It rang a few times.
Hey it's Vic, I cant get to my phone right now leave a message and i'll get back to you when I can.
I got his voicemail, I began to cry harder, I had begun to miss the sound of his voice.
I scrolled through my phone looking for someone else, anyone, I just needed someone right now. I found the next number I was subconsiously searching for without realisng and pressed call.
"Hey little one?" He asked on the end other end of the phone, a loud sob escaped my lips.
"Little one what's wrong?"
"Turtle, Can you come get me? I'm at the park" I managed to choke out between sobs.
"Of course, I'll there in a few minutes" He said and hung up the phone

Within a few minutes Tony had arrived and I was within the comfort of his car, and he was driving me back to his place.
"Thank you, for getting me" I said my eyes fixed outside the window watching the city I knew and loved go by.
"It's no problem little one, you know I will always be there for you. Though I do have to ask, why did you phone me not Vic"
"Oh I tried, got his answer phone." I sighed another tear rolling down my cheek, just when I thougt they'd stopped.
"He was most probally busy with Ashleigh" Tony said his eyes not leaving the road.

We arrived at Tony's house, he parked his car on the driveway. He got out and ran around and opened my door.
"Oh someone's learning to actually use the manners there mother tried to teach them , and be a gentlemen" I laughed.
"I try" He smilled bounding up the steps ahead of me and opening the front door.
I got into the house and he darted off somewhere into the house.
A minute or so later he returned holding one of shirts and a pair of shorts.
"Put these on, you're wet through" He said handing me the clothes.

I walked off towards the bathroom and changed coming out holding my wet jeans and t-shirt.
Tony had made hot chocolate, and was sitting on the couch obviously waiting for me.
"Thankyou" I said stting beside him, pulling my knees into my chest and taking a sip of the hot drink.
"Some say, it's customary 'when a friend is upset to offer them a hot beverage'." Tony smiled quoting The Big Bang Theory
"Your such a nerd, I hope you realise that" I laughed
"But you wouldn't have me any other way...."

"... So what was it that had you so upset" He asked after a few minutes.
"I was with Bryden, he wanted sex, and...and I didn't...so I said 'no'... but he forced himself on me...and forced me to do it... afterwards we had a big fight...and he ended it with me" I said as tears fell fast from my eyes now and sobs racked through my body.
"Oh, Em I'm sorry. Look you don't need twats like Bryden. Your amazing Em and one day you'll find the right guy who thinks that, and treats you like that. But I swear to god if I see that fuckhead again. I will punch him right into the middle on the next century, and I won't be the last to do it either..." Tony said bringing me into a tight hug. I found such comfort in his arms and it calmed me almost instantly.
"...Now Em, let's put on Mean Girls and laugh at how bitchy the girls are" Tony smiled standing up and walking over to the dvd racks
"I'm starting to worry about you Turtle..." He shot me a confused look "... reason 1 your choice of movie isn't Star Wars, and reason 2 your a guy with fuck loads of tatoos and you own Mean Girls" I smiled
"You know my movie collection isn't entirely made up of Star Wars, and I do ocassionally enjoy a bit of variety" He said as he placed the dvd in the player and sat back down beside me, I snuggled into his side as the movie started.

Before the movie had ended I had fallen asleep, Tony as my pillow.
