Chapter 1

Cover credits go to excusemeliamm she made it for me 👍

It was a normal rainy day in Manchester, Dara Albarn was running down the road trying to tie her long brown hair up simultaneously. She was incredibly late for work and her boss was going to be more than annoyed. Trying to run in heels had actually gone a lot better than she thought it would've, until she turned the corner going faster than she should've been, on the slippery busy Pavement. As she rounded the corner she ran straight into something and fell to the ground.

"Ah fuck I'm so sorry, I- 'm late I didn't see you I-" Dara stumbled over her words.

"Love ya nearly fucking killed us both fucken 'ell"

Dara looked up to see a man with dark brown and a bowl cut, he had a long face and wore blacked-out sunglasses. The man looked pretty angry, she felt herself shrink under his judgemental gaze.

"I'm so sorry, I'm just having a bit of a morning" Dara muttered timidly.

The man's hard face softened as he looked down at her still sitting on the floor.

"No no it's no problem, I shouldn't 'ave yelled like that, uh I seem to be having a bit of a morning too." he chuckled as he finished the sentence.

" 'Ere" he stuck out his hand to help Dara up.

Dara hesitantly took the man's hand, his hand was warm and soft.

He lifted her up off the wet pavement, "Noel" he bluntly stated.

"Excuse me?" Dara questioned not being able to understand his thick accent and the loud cars driving past didn't help either.

"My name Noel" he spoke loudly a hint of annoyance tainted his speech.

"Oh sorry, I'm Dara nice to meet you" she went to shake his hand but realized she was still holding it, Noel realized what was happening too and pulled his hand away feeling slightly disappointed loss of contact, he stopped and looked into Dara's eyes, they were a greenish colour with brown around the outside. Noel thought she was very pretty and wanted to tell her that but she interrupted his thoughts.

"I- should really get going then" Dara spoke after she realized that they were staring into each other's eyes.

"Where are you going?" Noel realized this sounded creepy after he had finished the sentence.

"Just to work" she nervously chuckled "I'm quite late actually"

"Should I walk with you, ya know in case you fall over again or sommat."

"I mean yeah if you really want to" Dara was slightly confused as to why this stranger had taken so much interest in her.

"Alrigh, led the way" Noel smiled and motioned her to start walking"

Noel walked next to Dara in silence, they walked like this for a couple of minutes before Noel spoke he really wanted to get along with Dara, even though they had just met he thought she seemed really cool.

"Where are u from then? You don't sound like you're from around 'ere." Noel asked after noticing her unusual accent.

"Uh yeah, I was born in Wales but my parents are from London, so my accent is a bit of a mix-up guess" Dara got asked about her accent quite a bit.

"Ah, right makes sense. What are you doin 'ere then? In Manchester that is" Noel pressed on trying to find out as much about this girl.

"Uhh I moved here to live with a friend, I wanted to get out of London you know" hesitant to share all her information with some random man, but she got a weird sense of safety from him.

"Yeah I get ya London's hectic, I couldn't live there"

They walked for about 10 minutes, conversing in basic small talk about what Dara likes about Manchester and football. Dara was halfway through explaining what she did for her job working in a record store when Noel's phone rang.

" Ah fuck it's our kid, I need to take this sorry" Noel gave Dara a guilty look he was enjoying the pleasant conversation he was having with her.

"Oi Noel did you fucking take my light?" Dara overheard an angry northern accent demand.

"Ah no mate I haven't touched your light, I thought u had spares anyway" Noel spoke into the phone.

"Bonehead has fucking nicked em I was down to one, I'm pretty fucking sure you've got it" the man almost shouted.

"Fuck off Liam I haven't got it fucking leave me alrigh" Noel spat his voice filled with anger.

Dara felt bad for eavesdropping on their conversation but to be fair they were shouting, this Liam guy which she assumed was Noel's brother seemed pretty angry.

"Alrigh fine can ya at least get me a couple while your out, I'm going to go fucking mad if I don't have a smoke soon" Liam demanded. "Oh and don't forget the shit eh" he added in a hushed so no one around could hear.

"Yeah yeah, Alright fuck off now go do some singing or sommat you could use the practice," Noel said trying to aggravate the already angry man, and with that Noel hung up.

Noel shoved his phone back in his pocket shaking his head slightly, "Sorry about that my brothers a twat"

Dara laughed quietly; she didn't understand siblings that always fought her and her brother Damon always got along really well.

"He seemed pretty angry," Dara said carefully, trying not to hit a nerve.

"He's gonna be even angrier when he sees that I have this" Noel laughed and pulled out a cigarette followed by a lighter, he wiggled the lighter in the air and smiled at Dara.

"No you didn't, is that his light?" Dara let a laugh slip out of her mouth.

Noel nodded and smiled cheekily while he casually lit a cigarette, after they turned the corner Dara stopped.

"Well this is me only, 20 minutes late," she said and checked her watch.

"I'm sorry about that eh. Slowing you down and all" Noel said as he scratched the back of his neck.

"Eh it's alright I was quite late anyway it was really lovely to have some company, thanks for walking with me." She smiled brightly at Noel, slightly sad that she had to say goodbye to him, and she probably would never see him again.

"Anytime",  he winked

Dara turned around to start walking into the building but a voice stopped her.

"Um, Dara," Noel asked, sounding slightly nervous.

"Yeah?" she hummed.

"Could I get your number? I'd love to talk to you again."
