I had just finished school for Christmas and instead of going home, I went to the betting shop as I needed to speak with my dad immediately

"Dad" I yelled as I swung the door open and ran over to him.

"Johns not here mate" my uncle Arthur informed me

"Where is he?" I asked impatiently

"He's just gone to sort some business. Wait here. He will be back any minute now" aunt pol said. I huffed but went and sat on a chair bored already

"So whats so important that it couldn't wait till work was finished?" Michael asked

"I wanna invite a friend over for Christmas. And I have to ask now because then i can go tell her straight away" I explained

"Her? Ladies man are ya?" Uncle Arthur asked in his booming voice as his rough hands ruffled my hair

"It's not like that. And besides, I've already got a wife" I said proud

"Oh ye? Wow. Even younger than ya dad" Uncle Arthur said as he teased me

"Well I'm doing better than you" I said to him making his face drop in realisation

"Got that right" I heard the voice of my father say. I spun around on the chair and ran to my father. He lifted my up and I gave him a hug. Hopefully this puts him in a good mood

"What ya doing here Jack?" My dad asked

"I wanted to see you to tell you how much I love you. Because I do. Alot" I explained as he set me on my feet

"What do you want and how much will it cost me?" He said as he sat in his chair.

"I gotta get on ya knee so ya say yes. That's why santa always gets me the presents I want" I explained causing everyone to chuckle as my dad lifted me on his lap

"So I have this friend. Her name is Rose. And she's really nice but I don't want her spending Christmas with her family so can she spend the holidays with us?" I asked nicely ad I kissed his cheek and hugged his body tightly.

"Mate, we can't just take a child away from her family at Christmas. What will her parents say?" He told me

"But she doesn't know her mum and her dad is hardly ever in. They only just moved to Birmingham from London so she doesn't have other family near. Pretty please with a cherry on top" I begged.

"How can ya say no to that face?" Uncle Arthur boomed as I nodded my head in agreement

"But it is Christmas so her dad will be in" he told me

"Dad. Please. There's something going on and I don't know what. But rose doesn't seem to like her dad and she won't say why. I'm scared for her" I said. I truly was worried. Rose would come in with marks on her hands like a cane but she always hand an excuse. Like she burnt in or trapped it in a door. Sometimes she has bruises on her arms or her face and she just says she fell over. But I don't believe her.

"I will speak to her parents about it. Where does she live?" My fave beemed with joy as i told him the address. He wrote it down and then said

"I just have to finish this. You go home and do your homework or whatever. Your mum will be worrying about ya" he said. I hopped off his knee and hugged him before running out and back home which granted wasn't far.

I had only been going the school for a week so didn't know many people. My best friend is Jack. And I know we are best friends because he said so himself. I hang out with his group at school but I'm not allowed out afterwards. I am grounded for 2 weeks after I got in trouble at my old school.
