Someone, Somewhere

Indroductions

How I got downstairs I will never know, but I did it. Dad and me had a catch up and a couple of fags. I told him about our first week of school and the guys, I told him about James and told him he would be coming round later. Dad was pleased that I was happy, but he was scared because of the Pete incident.

We were mid conversation when we heard a knock at the front door, dad jumped up and answered it. Danny, Cam, James and Sam all walked though the door as he shook all of their hands and asked them their names.

"So, James" my dad started looking back at me and then to James, "you and my daughte-" "dad!" I cut him off shouting, man he was embarrassing.

"Mr Bruce, I'm very sure that idiot here won't ever hurt Jay-Ann. He's far to scared of us three and Ben killing him" Danny said with a smile, this was just gonna get worse.

"Mr Bruce-" "please call me Shaun" my dad interrupted James and smiled. "Okay Shaun, I have no intentions of hurting your daughter and I'm more scared of her beating me to a pulp than I am of these guys. I promised her that I'd never hurt her an-" "dear god boy, you do ramble on don't you! I don't care what your intentions are with my daughter, as long as you make her happy that's good enough for me and Ben. And as for you three, I'd be more worried about her causing damage to him if he ever hurt her, she can pack a punch" dad cut James off and looked back at me winking.

"Shaun, Bens got some friends com-" mum stopped mid-sentence as she entered the lounge and saw the four of them standing there. "Hello, I'm Julia. Ben and Louisa's mum" she held out her hand to all of them, They all looked confused. They didn't know me as Louisa.

"If you don't mind me asking, who's Louisa?" Cam asked. This was priceless, they all looked as confused as hell. "I'm Louisa, my full names Louisa Jay-Ann Bruce. I don't go by Louisa anymore, I changed it to Jay-Ann. But some of my family still call me Louisa and so does mum" I said standing up and hobbling over to them "but if any of you call me Louisa, you will all die very slowly and painfully. Got it?" I said with a devilish grin on my face.

"Right, before this becomes any more embarrassing for me do you want to come upstairs or sit in the garden? Or do something that doesn't involve my parents telling you anything else embarrassing about me" I said glaring at my two parents who threw their hands up in defence.

"Yeah, can we sit outside Jay?" Danny asked, they all looked extremely sheepish. I was freaking nervous and I knew my parents. "Yeah let me go shout Ben and I'll come and sit with you" I said gesturing towards the back door. They walked to the back door and I shot an evil glare at both of my parents. "What?" They asked innocently, they knew what.

I shouted Ben and went to join them outside, I'd literally got to the door and Danny already had me in his arms. "So Louisa" he smirked at me, "put me down Daniel, or I'll kill you" I glared back and he put my on the ground next to James.

"Please don't call me Louisa, I freaking hate being called my proper name" I said as James moved behind me and sat me in between his legs. "We won't, don't worry. We'll probably use it if you annoy us or if you aren't listening" Cam said whilst sparking up.

Ben joined us and sparked up also, "so what's with the laughing, what've I missed now?" He said before taking a drag on his fag. "Mum told them my names Louisa, and Danny thinks its funny how I practically killed mum for saying it" I told him.

"Yeah, don't call her Louisa. You'll more than likely be stabbed with the closest thing to her" Ben said looking down at his hand.

Back in Dubai at our 14th birthday meal Ben called me Louisa and he got a steak knife put through his hand, not just stabbed, it went all the way through his hand and he was stuck to the table. Shit happens. It's like him breaking my hand when I called him Benjamin Paul.

"Are you being serious?" Sam turned to face me and looked shocked, I shrugged before saying "shit happens" and smiling.

Hours flew by and the afternoon quickly became night. Mum had told them they could stay over and me and James could stay in the same room, on the conditions that nothing 'intimate' happened.

James and me stayed up for hours talking about random things, like what we wanted in life and family. I told him about my band back in Dubai and he told me about the one he had here with Cam. We talked about kids and marriage, what we wanted, we weren't planning our own wedding or planning on having kids any time soon, we just listed the things we wanted.

As it got later, the tireder we got. James and I were lying down anyway, I had my head and hand on his bear chest and he had his arms around my waist. We eventually drifted off to dream land and waited for what the next day would bring.
