The Little Things ✔️

Wise words and songbirds

I take a deep breath and answer the call.
"Hello?" I say. The line goes silent and then my mum says
"Hi Alice, can we talk?" It sounded like she had or was crying.
"About what?" I say bitterly
"You going to live with your father."
"What is there to say? I'm moving out because your not capable of looking after me and Pat." I say bluntly looking back at Mat
"Yes but-"
"No mum, there isn't a but ok." I say cutting into her. I take my ear away from the phone and exit the call. I stand up and walk to the railing surrounding the roof. Mat comes and puts his arms around me and kisses my cheek.
"What was all that about?" He says against my ear.
"Ugh nothing. She was just asking about why I moved out."
"Aha don't worry about her........you know what you need?"
"What?" I say turning around to look at him.
"A girls night. You know your girls or whatever you call them. You need to let your hair down Al, you haven't ever stopped." He says smiling at me with those gorgeous eyes.
"Oh um ok."
"Go on for me." He says standing back
"Haha ok."

Sunday, the day of rest. Not for me, today was going to be one of the best I'd had in a long time. I was going to meet up with my best friends Nat and Lily. We were incredibly close. We haven't know each other for a long time but in that short time we had grown very close. I had know Nat half my life we had gone to school together and collage but she had a boyfriend (Jason) and had moved on. She had met lily over the Internet but when lily came to England they had got a flat together with Jason and Jean-Pierre Lily's boyfriend. Both the girls had always been there for me. They were goddesses on the outside and on the inside. Nat was a very sarcastic person and was obsessed with the Internet and drama but was very kind at heart. And lily was a very funny, helpful and awkward human. She had never really grasped the fact of meeting new people when she came to England but it was quite funny watching her talk to others but once again she was beautiful through and through. I was finally going to meet up with them and have a sleepover. I arrived at there flat and didn't even have to ring the bell before Nat was squeezing ms to tight
"Nat.......can't........breath!"
"Oh sorry! I was just really excited."
"Haha I can tell." I say coming inside.
"Where's Lily?" I ask
"Oh Jean-Pierre took her on a date to celebrate 5 years together so it's just me and Jay for a few hours.
"Omg! Is it already 5 years! It's only like yesterday that he came and looked after her at that club!"
"I know right! Anyways I thought we would order some pizza and just have a chat. "
"Amazing! How's you and Jay?"
"Oh we are good!" She says jumping up and down. She seems so excited to see me it's adorable.
"What about you and what's his name?"
"Haha you mean me and Mat! We are good." I say even though all the situations spin wildly through my head.
"Do you want to come into the lounge?"
"Yeah sure!" I walk into their white and mint themed lounge and see Jason watching TV. He turns around when he hears us enter. He has similar hair to Mat which makes my heart do summersaults. He has gorgeous lime eyes and sharp cheeks bones.
"Hey!" He says then he turns back around towards the TV.  Nat goes and turns off the TV and runs out of the room as Jason gets up and chases her through the house
"HEY! Why'd you do that?" I can hear him shout. I can hear Nat giggling and screaming as Jason and her come back in the room Nat in Jason's arms. He puts her down and she walks and sits next to me.
"Your being vey rude to our guest." She says pointing to me with a smile spread across her face.
"Like your never unsocial to mine!" He says as he picks her up again and sits her down on his lap. I'm giggling throughout this it's so cute to see Nat be so happy and cute. She used to be so down about her life and would only talk to me in class so this is the first time I've really seen Nat come out her shell.
We end up talking until 3am just about life and jobs until we hear the door open and Jean-Pierre and lily come through the door holding hands. They give us a quick hi and go to their bedroom. I say it's quite late and head off to bed to. It's amazing to know I have some great friends there for me no matter what. Even though Lily wasn't able to spend the evening with us she has been there for me for years. They listen to my problems and try and help or solve them. That's why I love them. They will drop anything for me and be there. Even though they can't change what's happening with my mum i spent a whole month here when it got to much at home but when their boyfriends moved in there wasn't enough room at the time for me. I lay down in bed thinking about all of this. I let out a little laugh when I remember what we used to call ourselves the Songbirds. All these good thoughts fill my head. How they fangirl over "malice" as they call me and mat, how they forgot about my birthday but then took me away on holiday as a sorry. They are just the best friends I could ever have.

A/N: Lily this is for you for being so supportive of my story and me in general! I'll always love you and I hope one day you do come to England X
