Music Can Change Everything - Chapter 13

The next morning I woke up with an empty space beside me. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and glanced around the room, no sign of him. I sat up before putting my slippers and dressing gown on, I looked at the other side of the bed and his clothes were gone. He must have left early to go to rehearsals. I wondered downstairs, picked up the little mail I had, of which was mostly junk. 

I got myself a cup of tea - milk and 2 sugars- and a pack of digestives, No better way to start the morning! I got myself comfy on my sofa and watched the news, nothing new happening. I then decided I would watch a bit of This Morning. After about an hour of that I decided to get ready and head to work.

My Alex Clare CD was on repeat all day, thankfully it was steady but 2 customers caught my eye. They were the cutest thing, and old couple about 75 -80. They both were at the counter and just as the wife was going to speak her husband ordered for her and the look of admiration on her face made my heart all warm. They then sat down at the table in the corner. They spent 2 hours just sitting there half the time they weren't even talking but you could tell they were absolutely in love with each other. I then realised I wanted that. I wanted to grow old with someone I absolutely adore. Thing is I don't know if he wants the same.

I closed up shop and decided I would pop to the shop's to buy some food. I went to the good old co-op. I bought the essentials - milk, bread, cereal - and then the odd sweets and crisps. I bought my food and started walking back home. I put in my earphones and walked down the street when I realised that there were a gang of boys walking to me. That was one of the downsides of living in London I suppose! I walked hurriedly past them trying to avoid any contact with them. I was about to cross the street when one of them grabbed my arm and pulled me back into the middle of the circle they had formed. One of them yanked out my earphones, they all started to laugh at my fear.  

"Look at her, this bird is scared of a few boys. We just wanna play a little game with you" one of them chuckled obviously the leader. 

"Look, please just leave me alone. I haven't done anything to you. Please" I whimpered as the got closer to me and started stroking my face. 

I felt one grabbed my ass. It was like they fed off my fear. They all started feeling me up and that's when I screamed. They were all startled by this and that's when I fell to the ground. The leader of these gits had slapped with quite some force against the cheek. I didn't know what to do, I wanted to run but I was scared if they would follow me so I just stayed still. I then felt to hands pull me up by my forearms. Two of the boys had pinned me against a wall about 1ft of the ground. At this point I actually feared for my life.

"look, love do as I say and you can go, This will only take a few minutes." He growled.  

I started crying and screaming, but no one was there to help me or that was what I thought. 

"What the hell do you think you are doing! Get off her" I recognised his voice. His heavenly voice. 

"Piss off you twat, this has nothing to do with you." He yelled back at him. That's when I was dropped to the ground, I then saw that Dan and Micky were with him. Punches were being thrown everywhere. 3 of the gang ran away leaving 2 to face the boys. In the end they ran too. 

Greg knelt down in front of me; " I will always be here to save you. Promise." He whispered as he leant down and kissed my forehead. He stood up and grabbed my hand to help me up. I gave all 3 boys a massive hug and thanked them for helping me. I picked up my shopping which was scattered on the pavement and we all began to walk to my house. Dan and Micky were walking ahead of us mucking about playing tig, They are such big kids. While me and Greg walked behind, Hand in Hand. 

"Thank you for saving me. I don't know what I would have done if you weren't there to save me." I said looking down at the ground.  

"You do not need to thank me. Those twats should not have been anywhere near you. As long as they didn't hurt you in anyway and you are safe that is all that matters! As I said I will always be there to save you." He said squeezing my hand and bring me into his side.  

Me and Greg turned down my path to find Micky and Dan sitting on my doorstep, 

"You've taken long enough haven't you! We have been here for 5 minutes! 5 minutes!" Micky mock complained.  

I just laughed whilst letting them all in.  

"Anyone want a brew? A beer? Anything?" I asked while going to put the shopping away. 

There was a choruses of beers. What can I say boys will be boys! I got 3 out of the fridge and pop the lids of and wandered into the living room to give them their drinks. I went back to the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. As I was standing there waiting for the kettle to boil when what had just happened really sunk in. I was in terrible danger and Greg, Micky and Dan saved me, How was I supposed to repay them? Was I weak for not fighting back? My mind was flying everywhere when I felt to arms snake around my waist and a chin rest on my shoulder. 

"Are you alright babe? You've been here for like half an hour" Greg said into my ear. 

"To tell you the truth, No. You and the boys saved my life and all I can do is say thank you. Just thank you? That is hardly anything . I mean I feel terrible I can't do anything to repay you but sa thank you!" I started angry.  

"Becky, I love you and you needed me to help you and I did. It is nothing. Forget it. Please stop worrying about it!" he pleaded. 

He turned me around to face him, He was smiling like an idiot. He gave me w quick kiss then went to pull something out his pocket. 

"I have a surprise for you! Well you and Niamh." He cooed. 

"I don't like suprises! But ok! What is it?" I told him 

"Now don't think I am just going to give it to you that easily do you?" he laughed.  

I gave him a look and he just smiled, pulled me closer to him. I knew what he wanted and I was happy to give it to him but it was whether or not I gave it to him. He closed his eyes and leaned in but I had other plans, I slyly took the envelope from his hand. I stepped back as he looked at me disappointedly.  

"That wasn't fair." He huffed. 

I opened the envelope and found to tickets in it for this weekend X Factor show and Backstage passes. He must have gone through a lot of effort to get them. I really did love him. 

"Greg West. You are the best. I love you. Niamh will be chuffed!" I said going in to give him a cuddle. 

I them wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him what he originally wanted.
