Matty and me stood on the corner, eyes peeled for the flashing blue lights that meant it was time to get out of there. this wasn't how my dad brought brought me up, but who cares, selfish dick went and killed himself didn't he! leaving me, my mum and my little sister to rise from the ruins. No money, no home, no car and no skills to get a job, the estate loomed as our only option. As my mind started to wander Matty shook me back to Earth, my vision was blurred by the bright, hazy blue lights and the piercing sound of a siren.

'Oi Danny! Danny! Move, let's get Ryan and Kyle and fucking bolt man!'

Almost without thinking about it I threw my hood over my head and started running

'This is becoming too normal'

I thought to myself as I ran in the small, sliding door of the newsagents.

'Ryan, police are here!'

Matty shouted in his stong, Glasgow accent, that never showed fear or pity...just hate. I never talked in situations like this, my english voive didn't fit in with threats. But the lads knew I was just as brutal as them, I had nothing to lose.

We got out of there just as the police got out their car. Running down the street I could feel the cold, Scottish air pinch at my skin, while my heart pounded in my chest, despite being by far the biggest of the group, upwards and outwards, I was the fastest and one of the strongest, altough we stopped fighting among ourselves a while back, after Keanu put ryan in Hospital with a bust nose, popped shoulder and three broken fingers on his right hand...that must have left Ryan a 'lonely' boy for 6 weeks, teenage boy, broken hand, he was moody as hell with that splint on.

We ran all the way down to Keanu's place, he was waiting for us at the stairwell door, as we all walked up the stairs, half the lads panting, I felt ready for more. but as we walked in, all the agro and testosterone fuelled rage seemed to pour out of me as I saw her, standing in her red Adidas hoody and Canterbury trackies, but she seemed to not like wearing them, like she was made to...she seemed to be like a magnet to my eyes...Keanu must have caught me looking, he introduced her as his sister, Sally. And thats when everything started to change.
