Beautiful Boy (Book1)

John's Home 5

His home was a nice small house, it wasn't as big as our's but i like this house. He said its called Mendips, sounds nice. We had a usual British dinner and the adults went into the livingroom and John took me up to his room. It looked out on the street and was just above the front door.

"I can see who it is before me Auntie." John giggled.

"Nice." i smiled.

He pulled out a book and handed it to me.

"Want to read, or would you want to draw, or play, or what?"

"Um, want to read me a chapter and then we can play!" I smiled.

"Sure." He took and book and hoped on his bed and leaned against the pillows.

"Come ed." He said. I got onto the bed and sat next to him. 

The first chapter was great. I could see why this was his favorite book. 

"Lets go outside, huh?"

"Okay." i said. We ran outside. He was different then other boys i played with, and other girls. We had things in common and i understood him. But i didn't under stand why he lived with his aunts. Maybe his parents are on vacation. I could tell he was lying when he said they were dead. 

"Watch out!" John yelled as i lost my train of thought.

"Whaa." i said John pushed me to the ground.

"It was coming to get you."

"What was?"

"That bird."

"What bird?"

"Oh silly, it aint a real one." He laughed.

"Oh, okay ill look out next time." I laughed.

----------------------------

We played outside for about an hour then went inside for desert. It was Lemon Meringue pie.  It was so good. 

After desert me and John went to his room to draw. He showed me some drawings of his. They were very good, different then my 7 year old cousin, who you couldn't tell what he was drawing.

"What do you like to draw?" 

"What ever comes to me head." He said taking a pencil from the box.

I took a pencil and watched what he was drawing, it was a dog then he drew a cat.

"What animal is your favuorite?" I asked.

"A cat." He said and continued to draw the dog and cat.

"Me too!"

His drawing looked like they were chasing each other. Then he drew a circle and wrote 'WOOF' in one. Then another he wrote 'BARK'.

"See cat chasing a dog." He paused and made a funny face, "I mean a dog chasing a cat." He grinned and chuckled.

I laughed and nodded. He put it down and got another piece of paper.

"What are you drawing?" He asked.

"I don't know, something."

"Draw something you seen."

"Yeah, can i see your dog and cat?" I asked.

"Sure, you can copy them if you want."

"Thanks."

We drew until it was time to leave. John taught me how to draw funny animals and people. He let me barrow the book and then we said good bye. 

I got home and laid down in my bed and fell asleep.
