Dance in the Rain

D.I.T.R. - 12

*pic of Samson

HEY GUYS SORRY IT'S BEEN SO LONG!! IT'S PRETTY SHORT BUT I HOPE IT'S ALRIGHT...

“Um, Lenny? This isn’t home…” I trailed of as we parked in front of a nice house a couple of minutes before John, Lenny and Solo’s house. We were on our way home from a movie we both wanted to watch at the cinema. Solo had come home when Nat had told Samson and him about my where-abouts. Samson told me we were moving over there to Parramatta and he said he’s already bought a house over there and was going to move there when I stuff up again, which he knew I’d do.

“It isn’t mine, but it’s your new home,” Lenny replied, getting out of the car and grabbed a key from his consol. I got out of the car as well and walked up the stepping stone path to the front porch. The house was nice but the porch was old but the house was perfect. I fell in love with it instantly, well the outside of the house. Lenny unlocked the stained glass door and opened it to reveal a hallway, on the right were stairs going up to the second story. I followed Lenny into the house but went up the stairs. The house was fully furnished and decorated with modern and expensive looking interior. I smiled when I found a room made for a small child thinking of Callum and how much I missed him. I closed the door and went to the next door, revealing the master bedroom. I went and jumped on the massive bed in the middle of the room, thinking this is totally my room.

I went back down stairs and found Lenny watching TV, typical. I shook my head at him and sat on the comfortable looking dark red leather couches. He was watching some midday news since it was only around eleven. I zoned out and started to txt Nat about the new house and she told me she already knew about it. I asked her how and she said she was on her way there now. I frowned and heard another car pull up outside. I walked into the study room at the front of the house and looked out the window. There were two taxis out front, out stepped Nat holding Callum and a little bag that was Callum’s and Jodie, Samson’s girlfriend, and Samson got out of the second one. Uh oh, I thought to myself, here comes a massive lecture from Samson. Lenny walked outside to help bring in loads of boxes and suitcases that the taxi drivers put on the porch; I guess that’s all our stuff. I sighed and went to get all my suitcases that looked like mine and brought them upstairs to my room without talking to anyone. Nat helped bring up mine and Callum’s and Jodie and Samson just sighed when they saw that I’d already occupied the master bedroom, them opting for the next best which still had an unsuit and walk-in wardrobe but was just a little smaller and had a smaller TV.

Nat and I finished unpacking my clothes in silence and when we’d finished, did the same to all Callum’s clothes while he sat on the ground playing with his ‘Cars’ figurines. Callum love the movie Cars and his bed was even shaped like Lightning McQueen. He had a Cars bedspread and cars everything, even shampoo. When we were finally done, it was around seven thirty, all we had to do was unpack clothes and Callum’s toys and my stuff. Samson had ordered pizza and we were all sitting in the large lounge room, Callum sitting on my lap playing with my fingers. We were watching some random reruns of Teletubbies that was on for Callum who wasn’t even watching. Jodie was in Samson’s arms, having a quiet conversation. Nat was watching the TV intently and I was chuckling quietly at her.

My phone rang, playing the start of Titanium by David Guetta and Sia. I sighed and pulled it out of the pocket of my tie dyed grey and white skinnies. I looked at the caller ID and it said Hayden. I got up, taking Callum with me and went to my bedroom with it.

“Hayden?” I asked once I answered it.

“Um, hey Des. I was wondering where you were. You haven’t been at school and Ryan said you’d moved or something.” He replied in a weird voice.

“Yeah,” I replied, putting Callum on the bed and he just lie down with a bottle in his hand that he hadn’t finished from earlier, “I moved up to Parramatta in New South Wales. Sorry I didn’t tell anyone, I didn’t really know I was moving here until just earlier today.” I replied, trying to make my voice sound sad because I actually wasn’t that sad to say goodbye to some people who I’d only met for one day.

“Oh, well how does that work out then if you only found out today?” He sounded quite confused,

“I ran away,” I replied bluntly, “My brother was being irrational so I just got on the first flight here the night after the mud fight at football training.” I didn’t really want to talk to him at the moment, I was hungry and tired and so was Callum, falling asleep on my bed next to me where we were laying.

“Oh, well, could you maybe call me back later?” He asked. I frowned thinking this guy is weird.

“Why would I call you back?” I asked him.

“I don’t know, I want to talk to you,” He replied, sounding strange. He’s really starting to creep me out now,

“Yeah, look Hayden I’ve got to go and I don’t know if I’ll call you back later,” I didn’t wait for him to reply, I just hung up put my phone on the charger, seeing as I only had 20% left of battery. I looked at Callum on my bed and tucked him under the covers, thinking he could just share my bed tonight. I smiled at him before kissing his forehead, “Goodnight my little angel,” I whispered to him and shut the curtains. I put my phone on silent and left the room, turning off the light and walking downstairs the same time as Samson and Jodie were going up,

“Where’s Callum?” Jodie asked on my way past her,

“He’s in my bed,” I smiled slightly and continued my way down the stairs. To be honest, Jodie and I are quite close. Her and Samson have been going out for just over a year I think and she knows all my secrets and I know I can trust her.

I got to the kitchen where two boxes of pizza were sitting. Nat was sitting at the dining table on her phone, dirty plates all around her. I sighed and picked up all the dirty plates Jodie and Samson had left me to clean up,

“What’s wrong, Nat?” I asked when I sat next to her with some pizza on my plate. I realised something was wrong when we were unpacking earlier today. This is actually the first time I’d spoken to her since she got here.

Nat sighed, “Nothing,” She said in a small, sad voice. I gave her an are-you-serious-you-did-not-just-try-to-get-out-of-it-like-that-I’m-your-best-friend-and-I-know-you look. She heaved a big sigh again and looked at me, tears forming in her eyes, “I loved him,” Was all she said before bursting into tears and started sobbing.

“Oh, Nat,” I stood up and pulled her into the lounge room, ditching my pizza, pulled her to the couch, wrapping my arms around her. She soaked my blue singlet that I was wearing and sobs shook her body. I comforted her and cooed her until she settled down a little. She pulled away from my shoulder to look at me in the eye, hers red and puffy,

“I had finally found someone I had wanted to settle down with and he was nice and caring. I actually thought that bastard loved me back until I found him in bed with that skank Bianca,” She said the last part full of hate and spat that bitches name.

“Bianca?” I asked in disbelief and disgust. I can’t believe she could just ruin my best friends life and mine. I wanted to kill that joke of a person, I mean who does that? First she takes away Ryan and now when Natalia finally settles down, she just has to take him away too.

“Yeah, I went out shopping for a while and I decide to give him a visit and I walked in on them…” Nat trailed off, a fresh wave of tears came and she started crying again. I felt tears coming to my eyes as well, feeling the pain for my best friend.

That’s when I swore to myself I am going to make Bianca’s life a living hell if I ever move back to New Zealand, starting now I am going to harass her on Facebook. I smiled evilly as a plan formed in my mind…
