He made me sit in the back seat of his car. Prick.
"Why am I sat into he back seat?" I question him. "Because you're still a child" he says back. I open my mouth to say something but I stop myself. He's right, I am still a child but that doesn't mean I have to sit in the back seat. I'm sixteen. Not eighteen.

We pulled up in an isolated cottage. This place gives me the creeps. I've only been here 2 minutes as well. Joe casually got out of the car and opened the boot. He them knocked on my window. Signalling for me to get out. I didn't want to get out, it's quite cold.

Eventually, I got out the car and set up my math work in the boot. Joe gave me some blankets and set off thatching the roof.

30 minutes later I had finished my work so I decided to play a bit of kanye west. I absolutely love his new song 'only one'.
Quietly I started singing to myself.

As I lay me down to sleep
I hear her speak to me
Hello 'Mari, how ya doin'?
I think the storm ran out of rain, the clouds are movin'
I know you're happy, cause I can see it
So tell the voice inside ya' head to believe it
I talked to God about you, he said he sent you an angel
And look at all that he gave you
You asked for one and you got two
You know I never left you
Cause every road that leads to heaven's right...

The music turned off suddenly.
"No distractions" Joe said. "But I have finished and its 12 already" I moaned. He sat there marking it, then looked up and sighed. He gave me my paper back and set me off doing more. Bitch.

"I've finished" I shouted. He was just coming down when I realised what time it is. Its 1pm. I need to start leaving soon. He marked my papers and was just about to give me more when I said "what's it like, up on the roof. Is the view nice.". "Why don't you come up and see for yourself" he replied. "I can't I'm afraid of hights" I say. "I'll hold your hand" he smiles.

I get up and let him lead me towards the ladder, our hands intertwined. He goes up the ladder first then helps me up. We sit there looking at the view. Our hands still connected. I liked it. I looked over at him and he looked so...beautiful. He caught me staring and I quickly looked away. I checked the time and slowly got up, my legs shaking. Joe got up as well holding both my hands. He led me down the ladders. We stood there in silence for a bit. I cleared my throat, "I better go I'm meeting a friend in town". "Do you need a lift" he asked.
"No I'm gonna get the bus".
"Okay I'll see you tomorrow" he said.

Joe's POV

I watched as she left and the next thing I knew Zoe was snapping her fingers in my face. "Joe, Joe" she said, "why didn't you give that girl a lift she was cute".
"She's 16 Zoe, I'm 20" I said to her. Zoe was still talking to me but I wasn't listening. I couldn't stop thinking about her. I couldn't stop thinking about Lucy.
