It had been a long time since I had last seen Helenka. Over five years in fact. She had been one of my best friends in the whole world. My parents were divorced and I lived with my mum but once a month I'd go and stay with my dad for a few days. Even though this was supposed to my dad's time with me, I usually spent at least half the time at Helenka's house. Her parents had been good friends with my dad for years and treated me like their own son. Everything was great. Helenka and I had been getting closer and closer. The last time I had seen her she had come to meet me just before I left to go back home.
I remember it as if it was yesterday. She had chased after me down the street and caught me just as I had reached the Tube station. It was raining heavily and I spun round when I heard her sweet voice calling my name. She stopped in front of me, wrapped her arms around me and looked up at me with her big hazel eyes. "Please don't go" she had said "Stay here with me" she had said. "I can't, I wish I could but I can't. I have school tomorrow, and so do you." I squeezed her in my arms and she buried her head in my shoulder. "I don't want you to go" She sobbed. "Hey" I said, lifting her chin to look at me again and I wiped a tear from here eye. "I'll be back in a few weeks and I promise I'll come and see you straight away." A small smile spread across her face at those words and I moved a strand of wet brown hair out of her face. "I love you Mikey" She whispered as she leaned closer to my face. "I love you too" I whispered back and then our lips met for the first time. Tiny shockwaves ran through my body as her tongue slipped into my mouth and met own one. Then it was over and I we were parting ways. Life is great I had thought.
Then it happened. That fateful day when Helenka's dad had come home early from work to find my dad fucking his wife. After that Helenka's parents got divorced and her dad moved away, taking her with him. It all happened between one of my monthly visits and the next time I went there I was devastated to find out that I was never going to see Helenka again. When I found out why I had wanted to kill my dad. I hated him more than I had ever hated anybody in my entire life and I didn't speak to him for months. He had taken from me he person I had loved the most and I never forgave him for it.
That was a long time ago. I was now19, and she was now 18. It had been over five years and not a single day had gone by that I hadn't thought of her. I had been in many relationships since then but none of them had lasted longer than a few weeks. About a month ago I had found her again online and started chatting to her again. It turned out that she missed me as much as I missed her and that she'd been trying to find me as well. Now I was on my way to meet her. She had got two tickets to see Killswitch Engage, one of my favourite bands, one for her and one for a friend but her friend couldn't go so she had given it to me. I reached Brixton Academy and waited for about five minutes before she arrived.
"Mikey! Over here!" She called and I turned to see her walking down the street towards me. As I laid my eyes on her my heart skipped a beat. She was absolutely stunning. Her huge breasts bulged underneath a tight purple Killswitch t-shirt, her tanned legs showing in between a lacy black and red skirt and thigh high black boots. On her small right hand she wore a fingerless woolen glove, striped in black and purple and each of her tiny fingernails was painted black. As she reached me we embraced briefly and then she said "It's so good to see you again. You're a lot taller than you used to be"
"You've grown a lot yourself" I answered with a grin. I'm sure she was still the same height as when we'd last seen each other.
"How do I look?" she asked and gave me a little twirl
"You look..." I struggled to find the right word and instead found myself staring into those beautiful hazel eyes again.
"That good, huh?" she said with a sexy little smile, breaking my trance.
Just then the doors opened and people started making their way inside so we joined the crowd and filed into the building.

Three hours later we left the gig both sweaty and slightly drunk with ringing ears. "That was awesome!" she shouted and I nodded in agreement. They had played all their best songs finishing with 'My Last Serenade' then coming back for an encore with our favourite song 'The End of Heartache'. "So where are you staying tonight?" I asked as we reached the tube station nearby "A friend's house Croydon" she answered.
"Croydon?" I exclaimed "but that's miles away, it'll take ages to get there. Come crash at mine, it's only a five minute walk from here"
"Really? Are you sure it's ok?" she asked, slurring her words slightly
