I wake to a loud racket from my brothers, I lean up from my bed and stretch my muscles. They ache from painting the house yesterday, I had to because Im the type of boy that takes care of his family. My mum has recently had a hip replacement and I'm caring for her at the moment, I just remember that today is my baby brothers birthday, he themes the party on the same all the time but theirs a big difference this year : my dad past away three days after Jamie's 5th birthday in Afghanistan fighting for our country and he was the general for the country, I want to be like him when I'm older, but I'm not aloud to join the army yet because I have to of left high school to join the army cadets.I will join the army to avenge my father and so I can be like my Dad. He was in a head to head fight fists only. I'm not actually meant to know how my dad died but I asked my mother to tell me and she did because she couldn't keep it from me so I don't speak about it around her.
I stare at my alarm clock can't bothered to move my eyes away from it, the clock reads 11:47 am, I'm meant to be up by 7:00 am to celebrate Jamie's birthday but doesn't sound like they need me down their. Jamie usually gets a bouncy castle and is aloud 10 friends over. Today is the first day of the summer half term I'm not going to be doing much today. I hate bouncy castles because I remember watching one of Jamie's friends bounce over one of the sides on to concrete and grass, half and half really, so today will be a boring day for me then.
After half an hour I decide to go down stairs and help, I shower, get dressed in some knew clothes me and mum got when we shopped last weekend, she got me a Nike hoodie, Adidas jogging bottoms and brand new Nike air max 95s, I love my mum for it, she owns a nation known shop called petsrus, I walk down the hallway and manage to slip down the stairs and bang my head on the wall: It hurts because it smacked straight on the shelving.
By the time I get down stairs it is 12:05, "wow that took longer than expected". To my surprise there is know bouncy castle theirs a massive football match going on, I walk over to mum to ask her why Jaime has changed his mind about the bouncy castle and she answers saying
"He said that he can feel a change in his heart and guessed that dad was in heaven, he said that if he could drive and knew how to use a navigation system he would drive their and pick dad up".
Mum starts to cry and sob so I quickly change the subject by saying.
"Is their anything I can do to help".
And she said well Jaime was asking for you to play football with them because theirs odd numbers.
I think that if that is the most I can do for her, so I decide to start playing football. Football is my favourite sport and enjoy to play it and watch it, other sports like rugby I only prefer to play instead of watch.
After about one hour we all stop for a rest, we have some lunch and a slice of cake each and get back to football we are all sweating especially me because I'm quite a big twelve year old and the running is very energetic and that's not my thing, I think that's enough because yesterday in P.E we were doing athletics and running comes under Athletics in my high school. I remember that tomorrow I have to go back into school because every one that is sent home on the last day has to go in school on the Sunday to retake a test only if they missed one, but my luck I missed the end of year test for science and if I don't complete that I will be bottom set and I need science for my future job. At school I'm a pretty bright kid and don't get picked on because I'm to smart, but my mum says you can never be too smart, (witch I agree on) so that means I need to do some revision. It I am so focused on the football match it reminds me of spring when I played for a football team the air was so soft like know and it was very hot maybe a bit to jot but that's ironic its like the air of spring as arrived very early. The day comes to an end theirs a beautiful sunset that's a hint of purple and green but mainly a mango type colour a bit like massive bruise in the sky. I go to bed thanking God for an amazing day and then drift off into a massive dream that is about something I like, I feel that I enjoy my dreamland better than real life because in my dream there's my dad sitting on a bench helping me with my homework that I would find extremely difficult but with my dad around its much easier. A bit like a dream come true for me.
