^Janey played by Daniela Denby-Ashe^

It is the morning, I'm now sat in living room on my favourite chair reading a magazine. And enjoying the silence before it all goes to hell. Janey also here admiring her nails. Soon Dad walks in putting his work jacket on getting ready to go to work and see Janey who is meant to be at school right now.

"No school today?" Dad says.

"No you see I don't go to school anymore." I say.

"Then why don't you move out?" Dad asks.

"Just to simply annoy you," I say before going back to my magazine.

"I got the dentist," Janey answers the question earlier.

"Ah great," Dad started before realizing what Janey actually said. "Wait what. Hang on a minute I'm a dentist. I can't remember booking you in. Unless the prospect was so awful I screened you out."

"I booked her in another dentist," mum says. As she tidies the living room.

"You did what?" Dad asks.

"Janey has had a appointment with you for 6 months now. And you keep fogging her off." Mum answers.

"I do not keep fogging her off I've been fogging her forward." 

"Fine, but if we wait that long she will be able to take her teeth out and post it to you."

"Susan, paying patients come first."

"That's right your family always come second."

"Against, TV, Golf and football. That not bad going." Dad lists. "Where did you find this dentist on a card in a phone box?"

"Yellow pages," Mum answers.

"Oh yellow pages, oh I see well they don't take anyone in yellow pages." He says as mum sits down next to Janey.

"Oh calm down dad, one dentist is pretty much the same as another," Janey says.

"THEY MOST CERTAINLY ARE NOT" Dad shouts.

"No your right because some dentist aren't rude, grumpy and think a effective pain killer is shouting 'shut up'," Janey says making a voice when she says 'shut up'.

"It is effective it makes me feel better," Dad says. "The next thing I know you are booking another dentist for Maddie as well"

"No Maddie is old enough to book another dentist herself," Mum says. Soon enough, I hear dad slam the front door shut telling the whole house he gone to work. "Maddie shouldn't you be at work?" Mum asks me.

"I got fired," I says simply and carried on  reading.

"Why?" My mum asks.

"I Told them to hire Nick and then in one minute half of the shop was on fire so my boss fired Nick and me being stupid I told him 'if Nick goes I'm going to'. So i got fired to."   I say.

~~~~Time skip~~~~ 

Janey came back from the dentist and went to the mirror in the living room and admired her teeth. While me and Nick is sat on the sofa me watching him text this new girl on dads laptop. Me being there for girl advice. 

"See the problem to chatting with a girl on the internet is that they miss out the full Nick Harper experience," Nick says. "You know the piercing blue eyes, the easy smile."

"The smell," Janey says.

"The idiocy," I say.

"Yeah all the great experiences," Nick says. "It's  tricky."

"You know what really impress a girl Nick?" I ask. Making him look over at me for more info. "Is when a boy takes interest in her clothes."        

"Great thanks," He says going back to the computer.

"Why not ask her what color her nickers are," Janey says still admiring her teeth. "You know i think my teeth look wonderful." Janey says making me look over at her.

"They are yellow." Nick says.

"No they are not they are pearlescent." Janey says.

"No Isabelle nickers," Nick says.

"Oh my god," I say looking at the text to see if he was lying. "She told you," I say making Janey step away from the mirror  and leaned on the back of the sofa looking at the computer screen.

"What a slag," Janey says 

"Yeah," Nick says.

"You sure this isn't Jeff again." I say.

"No because she told me: she is French, she is called Isabelle, she is a swim wear model and her father is a chairman in a major electricity company," Nick lists.

"Does the phrase 'pull another one' mean anything to you?" Janey asks. 

"Oh you think she's got a sister." Nick says. Pointless.

"I try and I try but there is no way there is even a brain in his head," I say putting my face in my hands. Before getting up and walking in the kitchen seeing mum rip a page out of the cook book and throw it behind her. Then Micheal walks in with a rabbit in a cage.

"Hello," Micheal says as he walks pass mum laying the cage on the table i sat down next to where Micheal is standing and start stroking the bunny through its cage.

"Hello" Mum says walking over to us. "What is that?" Mum asks I was about to make a sarcastic comment but mum gave me the look and I shut my mouth and carried on stroking the rabbit letting Micheal deal with this one. 

"It is a rabbit," Micheal says.

"I can see it a rabbit but what is it?" Mum asks.

"Well I wanted a rabbit so i bought a rabbit," Micheal says.

"But you didn't ask our permission," 

"Well I'm rebelling,"

"A rebel with a rabbit,"

"You told me to take more responsibility,"

"I says a lot of things I told your father he looked good in a tank top,"

"Well this is a symbol of my independence," Micheal says as Janey walks in seeing the rabbit.

"Take it back to the shop," Mum says.

"If you make me take it back i will never listen a word you say again. I will become aimless and remote, my work will suffer," Micheal says.

"He will become another Nick," Janey says.

"Welcome to you new home," Mum says. "Just keep it away from the food." 

"Yeah we don't want to kill it on it first day." Janey says. As me, Micheal and Janey started stroking the rabbit through the cage happy we won this round.
