Another World - A Janoskians Fanfic

Chapter 7

I wake up alone, all tucked up into my quilt. I slowly pull away the quilt seen as though I’m still half asleep. I shuffle out of bed and out of my room into a very quiet, lonely house. I walk down the stairs and notice all of my parents and Ben’s belongings have gone. I walk into the kitchen, no one’s there. I open the door into the living room to notice Skip sat on the sofa watching some programme. I cough to grab his attention, and he looks round and stands up.

“Hey sleepy head.” He says, making his way over to me. I smile at him and wipe my eyes.

“What’s the time?” I ask. Skip pulls out his phone and turns his phone on.

“It’s quarter to eleven. Look, I was going to make us a coffee each and some toast, but I’ve never stopped over to know where these things are.” He cheekily looks at me, implying to go make us some. I let out a small chuckle and walk into the kitchen. I open the corner cupboard and pull the coffee granule tub out. I make the coffee and place it in front of Skip whose sat at the table, picking at his nails – tramp. I place some bread into the toaster and sit down, sipping my coffee. “What we doing today then?” Daniel says leaning over the table in my direction.

“Oh, I’m not too sure. It’s up to you.” I say standing up, going to check on the toast.

“Hm, well you know what I want to do?” He says, just as the toast is ready. I take it out and place it onto a plate.

“Nah, what do you want to do?” I begin spreading the butter onto our pieces of toast when I suddenly feel Daniel’s hands on my shoulders.

“Anything that involves me and you. Cinema? Bowling? Walking? Shopping? Eating? Chilling? You name it, and I’ll take you there.” A smile creeps over my face and I lean my head back to kiss Skip on the cheek. His grasp becomes stronger onto my shoulders.

“How’s about we go bowling then you take me out for a meal?” I recommended.

“Deal. I’ll take you out at about 3, then book a table somewhere for 6?” He says. I turn around and hand him his plate of toast and we both sit down again.

“That sounds rather good Skippy” I throw a smile at him, and he smiles back, shaking his head as he begins eating. I take the last bite of my toast, and finish my cuppa and take both mine and Skips stuff to the sink. As I do, Skip makes his way to the lounge.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We walk into the bowling place, and retrieve the shoes we need. We slide them onto our feet and make our way to an empty alley. I enter our names into the gaming station, whilst Skip goes and gets us some drinks.

“Right, so here’s your diet coke. Why you chose diet, I will never know because your body’s perfect the way it is, and here’s my coke.” He hands over the glass of diet coke and sits next to me. I feel myself blush, so I try to avoid the embarrassment and sip my drink looking away. He lets out a small chuckle. He’s caught me out. “Who’s first then?” I look up at the screen above our bowling alley.

“You’re first Skip!” I state, and with that he places his glass down and goes to grab a ball. He walks to the bowling alley and holds the ball to his face, ensuring he gets the perfect aim, and with one swift movement he throws his arm back and releases his fingers from the bowling ball.

“STRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!” Skips turns to me and jumps up and down due to his accomplishment. He is like a ten year old I swear. I stand up smiling and clapping, as he returns to where he was previously. “I am going to win this game, hands down.” He says eagerly.

“Oh, you seem pretty confident with that don’t you” I say, raising my eyebrows. I pick up a ball and make my way to the alley. With all my strength, I lunge the ball down the alley and to my disappointment, it falls into the gully. I watch the ball go all the way down, until I hear faint crying of laughter in the background. There he is, sat on the chair in absolute tucks, holding his stomach. I charge at him and throw myself onto his lap, hitting his tense chest.
