Something Exciting

New Life

**Noahs' Point Of View**

We drive to the west end of London and through to the end where a street leads down to a house; is this it!?

"Noah, welcome home" Alex says to me turning around

"This house is massive" I exclaim

"It's really not"

The car stops and I get out, Joshua gurgles in his chair whilst Alex comes around to get him. I open the boot and grab my bag, Travis appears next to me and takes it.

"Let me show you around" Travis says dumping my bag at the bottom of the staircase as we walk through the door.

He shows me the lounge which was complete with a playstation and surround sound with a kitchen behind it, an island and breakfast bar rested in the middle, glass doors from the kitchen leading out into the patio and from what I could see, a outdoor bar set in the corner.
We walk up the two flights of stairs and Travis shows me my room, a double bed with a window that overlooks the town, a desk and some bookshelves; I quite like it.

"This is your space. Through here is your ensuite. Opposite is a room that were not sure what to do with it but Adam mentioned that you like you're own space? So we can turn it into your own chill out room.Then if you walk downstairs and to the left is Joshua's room which has a playroom attached to it. Alex and I have a room in the corner, it's separated by the bathroom and a games room that we sometimes use when the boys come around but you're welcome to join us and use it if you bring any friends over" Travis explains

"This is so awesome, like compared to the hostel this is a hotel" I reply mesmerised by my surroundings.

"You start school on Monday, it's easier than starting midweek; plus it will give you chance to take in London and your new surroundings."

I smile, this was awesome

"Noah!?" Alex shouts "are you hungry? D'you want anything to eat?"

"I'm fine, thanks" I shout back

"Well, I'll leave you to unpack and no doubt you want a shower and stuff so I'll just leave you to it," Travis says then walks down stairs

Wow, this entire house is just amazing! My room was great, it had its own bathroom!

I take a shower as I feel grimy and sweaty, it was hot in London which made a change because Oxford was usually quite cold. The pressure in the shower was 10x as better than the hostel, they actually worked.

Once I'd showered I got into some shorts and an old tee, I did not have many clothes because when my dad was at home, he never brought me clothes nor did I have any money to buy any and at the hostel I could just about afford boxers. Tomorrow I might go shopping but I'm not sure, is it something I should do?

"Heeeeey Dude" Alex says from the garden as I walk into the kitchen

"Hey" I mumble

"We were thinking Pizza Hut for tea, you in?"

"Yeah, sure"

"Come join us" Alex says ushering me outside

I walk out onto the patio, the hot sun beating down on my neck.

"Ever been to west end?" Travis asks

"No..."

"Ever seen west end?"

"I've seen Oliver! But that's only because my English teacher was in it"

"Did you enjoy it?"

"Loved it"

"Joshua, what are you doing?" Alex asks him

He giggles and shifts on Alex's knee, he was quite cute. He makes a noise that sounds like the word dad but without the last d he was trying and it was cute. He puts his arms out towards me and I go to pick him up, and he lets me without any hassle.

"How old is he?" I ask sitting down with him

"9 months old" Travis says getting up and walking into the kitchen.

"You're adorable" I say to him as he holds my thumb in his entire hand

"He likes you" Alex points out

"Makes a change" I joke

"Noah your tshirt has a hole in it" Travis points out giving me a baby bottle of milk

"Uh, thanks?" I say taking the bottle "and I know, it's all I really have"

"It's to feed your brother" he says back "did you not bring a bag of clothes?"

"It's mostly jeans and jumpers"

"Tomorrow we shall go shopping" Travis says, "we could do with a stroll in the town"

Awesome! We're going shopping in town. This is going to be so different.

**Taylors Point Of View**

"I miss him" I say as we leave the train station

"How about we all go out for pizza?" Adam suggests "my treat"

"I could eat pizza" Ollie mumbles,

"You do not care as long as it's food" Toby says shoving him softly

"Charlie?" Adam asks "D'you wanna join us?"

"Yeah, sure" she says

"Tay, you in?" Ollie asks me

"Yeah, let's do it" I reply as Adam comes over and puts his arm around me

"We can do this, we just got to stick together" he says cheering me up

We end up at Robbs Pizzeria which did the best pizza in Oxford. It did not feel the same without Noah but hey, what can you do? Once we had finished eating pizza Adam dropped us back home and wished us all good luck. Ollie gave me a hug and his number in case I felt sad. He was sweet. Toby was a lucky boy.

I walk into my house and see my dad asleep on the sofa, he also had pizza for tea; it was practically all we had. Sneaking upstairs to my bedroom I see that Noah had left one of his hoodies to which I quickly put on and hugged like he was in the room. My phone buzzed
