The broken boy

Part 1.

"Darcy!" "Darcy honey" "Darcy pizza is due to arrive in 10 minutes and you're still not down here, it's games night!" "Darcy!" My mum screeched. " I'm just coming mum, I'm trying to find my new slippers, my current ones are worn out" I lied. In fact I'm actually sat on my bed texting away to my boyfriend Aaron James, the head of the football team. I honestly do not know how I got him but I do know I'm extremely lucky. After my mum called me for like the 50th time I grabbed my new slippers and went downstairs. "What took you so long?" My brother answered "I couldn't find them, they were at the bottom of my closet" I said unconvincing.

Games night, once a month on a Sunday in the Montague house 6pm til 9pm, me (Darcy), my brother(Jacob) and both our mum and dad would gather in our living room with a chosen choice of food which was always takeaway and games, like trivia pursuit to mouse trap. Tonight was pizza and monopoly. I enjoyed spending time with my family at least once a month, we've never broke the tradition. I guess I was lucky to have both my parents and an annoying brother. He could be alright I guess.

"Mum Darcy is definitely cheating look how much money she has!" My brother scoffed. "Well maybe if you watched the game properly then you would have a lot too" my dad took the words out of my mouth. "So Jacob, finally found yourself a lass then?" My dad asked him. We often talked about school,work, relationships and that stuff too to catch up with everyone. "no, rather play PlayStation any day." "Oh please I saw you with a girl on Friday, seems pretty cosy with her on the school bench at lunch" I laughed "did you hear that rob, I think he has. Our baby boy is growing up!" She pinched his cheeks leaning over the coffee table with monopoly set out on it, "mum" he swatted her hand away, "it's complicated" I felt very nostalgic talking about this. Games night was when my parents found out about me and Aaron a year ago. "and how are you Darcy with Aaron? I hope he is still treating you the correct way. You know what I've said" he gave me the stern look "ugh yes dad he is no need to worry"

Faint music was on in the background but the weather was very bed it was messing up the signal. The wind was whistling while the rain was tapping hard against the window. "Jesus Christ I have to get up at 4am tomorrow, I hope the weather dies down" my mum looked down at her watch "I hope it carries on I love it!" My brother replies. "Just because you don't want to go to school tomorrow Jacob"

"Yes I won!" Jacob stood up throwing his Monopoly money in the air. My mum sipped her tea rolling her eyes while me and my dad ate the last slices of pizza. " first time in what like ten years." I stood up stretching. Sitting down for three hours is achy. "I hope you know you're cleaning the mess up Jacob, night mum night dad.

After making sure everything was ready for school tomorrow leaving not a lot left to do in the morning, I climbed into bed and put a movie on to fall asleep to. Within minutes I could feel myself relaxed and unconscious.

The rain and the sound of the doorbell going off had woken me up. I looked at my bedside table with my alarm clock on it.It was 1:30am and I began to get a little scared. Who the hell calls at 1:30am in the morning. People sleep. The doorbell went off again causing me to feel even more scared, why could my parents not hear it or my brother? I kept out of my room and into my brothers. "Jacob, Jacob." I shook him. "Jacob wake up! There's someone at the door." "What" he yawned, " I said there is someone at the door. " Darcy you probably just had a bad dream, go back to sleep" he rubbed his eyes then turning over. " no Jacob I'm being seri-" the doorbell went off again and Jacob sat up. "Believe me now?" "Okay let's go wake mum and dad up" we woke up our parents after what felt like forever and the doorbell was still going off. "mum I'm scared" I hugged her tight "it's okay, don't worry, it'll be fine" she kissed my forehead.

My brother and dad went downstairs to find out who was calling at stupid o'clock in the morning while me and my mum waited on the stairs. My dad looked through the peep whole then at Jacob "he looks your age" Jacob had a look through the peep whole and suddenly opened the door. "I'm really sorry Mr and Mrs Montague but do you mind if i stay the night, I have no where to go." A young boy about mine and Jacobs age was getting soaked in the rain who's identity was a mystery. "Jayden?" My parents said in sync "Jayden Carter, oh my god bro, come in." My brother said.The boy who went by the name of Jayden stepped in and my mum took his bag off him and grabbed him and towel. "Darcy go back to bed sweetie and we'll talk I'm the morning." Everyone looked at me including Jayden, "are you serious?" I stomped up stairs. After everything that just happened and my parents expected me to sleep? No way.

My mission was to find out who exactly 'Jayden Carter' is and why exactly he has turned up at my door at stupid a clock in the morning.
