Try make an Effort

CLARA'S POV

Its now Christmas Eve. I walked downstairs to get some breakfast. My dad was out working so it was just me and my Aunt Moira. "You should be well up before this time", said Aunt Moira. I moaned and sat at the table and she sat across from me. "Anyways you are coming with me today to watch the cricket", said Aunt Moira. "No I am not", I demanded. "You will do as I say young lady", she said. "No your not my mother", I said and ran upstairs then my gran came in.

'What happened?, asked Clara's gran.
'Dave needs to sort that lassie out, sais Aunt Moira.
'Moira she's a teenager she is going to be stroppy and shes not a from a posh family like yours, said gran.
'I don't care she needs to be sorted out, said Aunt Moira.
'I'll go see her, said gran.

"Clara?", said my gran. "Yeah?", I asked as she walked in the door. "You alright?", asked my gran she sat on the bed next to me. "Not really no, not with her staying for a week", I moaned. "Clara I know the pair of you don't get along very well but she is your aunt and your going to have to try and make an effort, I don't particulary get along with her myself but I try and thats what you should do", she smiled. I smiled back. "Thanks gran but it won't work", I said.

Instead of me going to cricket with my Aunt my gran went with her instead. So I was home alone but my dad would be home soon anyway. I am 16 but none of them trust me anymore to be in the house alone. I decided I would facetime Lily and ask her how manchester is.

She picked up after the first ring.
"Clara!", she squeaked.
"Hey Lil", I said smiling.
"I'm missing you so much it is so borig here", said Lily.
"I miss you too and guess who is staying at mine for a week", I said with a frown.
"Who?", she asked.
"Aunt Moira", I rolled my eyes.
"Aw Clara I really do feel for you right now", she said.
"Yep already argued with her", I said.
Lily laughed. "So you heard from John?", she asked.
"He took me to the Star Wars convention yesterday", I said with a huge grin on my face.
"Your such a nerd Clara", laughed Lily.
"Nothing wrong with that, and oh he took me to that italian restuarant", I said.
Lily looked shocked. "Oh my gosh really that restuarant is super dear", said Lily.
"I know", I said.
"Anyways Clara I have to go now I'll call you later bye", said Lily.
"Bye Lil", I said hanging up then my dad arrived home.

"Clara you in?", he shouted. "I'm in my room dad", I shouted. He shouted me down so I shuved my dressing gown on and went downstairs.

He was standing in the living room with his arms crossed. Ugh here we go. "Your Aunt told me that you were getting bold with her Clara", he said sternly. She such a liar I only said I didn't want to go to a cricket match. "No she was trying to make me go to a cricket match when I didn't want to", I moaned. "Clara I know you don't like her but atleast try to make an effort", Said my dad. I really couldn't be bothered with this, so I went upstairs and got changed and decided to go for a walk. It was winter and I didn't even bother putting a coat on I just wanted to get away from my family.

I decided to go to the park and at that moment when I reached the gate I spotted John with a small blonde haired girl they were playing on the swings. I went in and sat on the bench and he spotted me and came over. "Babysitting are you", I said smiling. "Yeah this is my cousin Kayleigh", Said John. She was hiding behind John's leg. "Right you little munchkin why don't you go play on the slide while I talk", Said John. "Okay John but then can we go get some hot chocolate?", she asked very innocently. "Of course we can", Said John and she skipped over to the slide.

"Clara you should have a coat on you will get unwell out here", said John. "I'm not going home right now", I moaned. "Are you alright?", asked John rapping his arm round me. "No my Aunt Moira is staying for a week and shes put me in such a mood and my dad keeps taking her side", I said. "and they keep telling me to try make an effort". "Well do you want to come to mine just now my mum and Kayleigh's mum is out shopping and then you could go home later? Because you are going to get unwell out here", said John. Then I started coughing. "Yeah thanks ", I said coughing again. "You alright?", he asked. "Yeah I guess I should of put my coat on", I said. "Here", he said giving me his jacket. I liked it because it was warm and smelt of him. "Kayleigh come on we are going for Hot Chocolate", shouted John. The small blonde girl who was Kayleigh obsvousily came running towards John and we made our way to John's house.

"Here you go munchkin", said John handing Kayleigh a sippy cup of Hot Chocolate. "Is that your girlfriend John?", asked Kayleigh. "Yes Kayleigh this is Clara Oswald , Clara this my little cousin Kayleigh Tyler", John said. "Hello there", I said. "Hi Clara", she smiled.

Then two women came in the door and Brunette woman and a blonde woman. "Mummy", screamed Kayleigh and she ran towards the blonde woman. "Hello sweetie were you good for John", she asked. "Yes", Kayleigh said innocently. "Was she good for you John?", asked the blonde woman. "Yes great as always", John smiled. The blonde woman came in the living room. "Oh hello there you a friend of John's?", asked the blonde woman. "Yes I'm Clara, Clara Oswald", I said shaking her hand. "Well nice to meet you I'm Rose John's aunt", she said smiling. Then John's mum came in.
"Nice to see you again Clara", she said smiling. "You too", I said.

"Right Linda we better be off got to go pick up David see you soon, say goodbye Kayleigh",Said Rose. "Bye", said Kayleigh.

When Rose and Kayleigh left John's mum went in the kitchen and started unpacking bags.

Me and John went upstairs. I sat on the edge of his bed. I started to feel quite light headed and sick and I started coughing again.
"Clara that doesn't sound too good", said John and to be honest what ever it was it was getting worse.
