“Hannah?” My little sister walked in the garage

“Yes sweetie” I turned around. I was helping everyone set up for band practise.

The only people in the room at the time were Matt Nicholls and Lee.

Oli and Jona went to get Matt Kean.

“I need to ask you something”

I turned back around to keep setting up

“Sure” She paused for a second

“What does it mean when someone is dead fit?”

I stopped and heard Lee and Matt laughing a lot.

I tried to act normal “Erm why?” I glared across to them to try and make them stop laughing but they wouldn’t.

“Oh I heard Oli and Jona talking last night and they were talking about you”

Matt and Lee both shouted OOHHHHH. I threw the wires down

“What did they say?”

 “Well. Oli said Hannah is a bit of a radge and Jona said try living with it and he laughed then Oli said she’s dead fit and really quite beautiful then he said I don’t know then laughed and Jona said Yeah she is pretty but my god such a radge”

I smiled. “Well dead fit just means….Erm it means you know what? I’d rather not say because well it’s a grown up term for good looking”

“Oh” Mary nodded.

She walked out

I turned to Matt and Lee “Don’t even say anything”

They both put their hands up as if they surrendered.

After setting up I shoved past Oli Matt and Jona.

“Wow rude” Oli was trying to joke

“Shut it Sykes”

Jona grabbed my arm and I pulled away

“Whoa simmer down your mum needs to talk to you”

I looked at him

“Is it about?”

He nodded

I sighed running up the stairs

“What’s up with her?”

Oli asked

“Hm I dunno but we will hear shouting in about 5 minutes”

I ran up to the sitting room

I was out of breath by the time I got there

“Yo you needed to see me”

My mothers eyes were red from tears. As soon as she saw me the water works started again.

James looked at her.

“I can’t you do it please”

My mum buried her head in her hands

“Hannah sit down this will be a shock”

I fucking doubt it.

“Your dad’s memorial Is on Saturday the-“

“17th of November yes I know”

Of course I could finish the sentence I planned it, I have done every year since he died. I like to remember him in a nice way. We have live music and his pictures up. It’s really quite beautiful.
