Tazza's POV

We finally arrived and as soon as the car stopped, I sprung out of it quicker than you could say wait. I rushed to the door my keys already out and ready, I shoved them into the keyhole and unlocked it then walking in. I rushed up to my room, I needed to get away from him.

"Tazz!" My mom shouted as I was rushing up the stairs. 

"¿Por qué lo invitaste aquí!" I shouted down the stairs, basically asking her why she had to invite him.

----

Dinner was ready and I practically spent the entire time in my room completely ignoring Simon, I rushed down the stairs as I was absolutely starving. I walked in my hair down and covering part of my face, I sat in my chair then looked next to me to see Simon, I quickly shifted my chair away from him slightly. I put my leg up on the chair, bent and by my face then tucking into the pasta served. 

"So how is it?" My mom said making conversation.

"Brilliant thank you, I absolutely love it" Simon said like the cheery old British boy he was.

I mocked what he said by mouthing the way he acted causing my brother to laugh and me too. 

"Tazz!" My mom said causing my head to turn quickly.

"What?" I said as if I did nothing wrong.

"Stop it" She said giving me a death glare causing me and my brother to smirk.

I glanced at Simon who looked quite upset but we continued to smirk anyway. 

"So what are you doing here anyway?" I said curios as to why he was British but in California.

"My dad and my friends parents are all in the army, their head quarters are here now and have been for the past 7 years" He said finishing up his food and trailing off.

"How is he doing now?" I said curios. 

"He's missing" He said low.

"I'm sorry, I-" I noticed my Mom was giving me a look "We know how it feels to not have a parent around or parents in my case" I said looking down and holding onto my brother that went quiet too.

My mom watched me carefully, I could see the tears swelling in her eyes "Excuse me for a second" She said getting up.

"I'll be back" I said leaving Michael and Simon.

I followed my Mom to the kitchen and shut the door behind me to see the tears flood from her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up I- just- It's hard to please everyone" I said my voice going dry towards the end. 

"Its fine" she croaked.

I grabbed her some tissue and handed it to her "I just miss him sometimes, you know and that boy? He reminds me of him, his head is screw on straight and he is going to make his parents proud" She said blowing her nose.

I said nothing just nodded "Shall I take him somewhere whilst you uh- sort yourself out?" I said fiddling with my thumbs careful not to say anything harsh.

"Yeah please, thank you sweetie" She said and I nodded at her giving her a worried smile.

I headed out to my brother and Simon so see something quite extraordinary, they were sitting there laughing away playing on Simon's phone, I hadn't seen my brother look so happy in a while. 

"Uh- sorry to disturb your fun but um... I'm heading out now and my Mom said you should come with" they turned around and looked at me standing there fiddling with my thumbs whilst they had huge smiles on their faces.

"Yeah sure" He said smiling.

"Okay I'm just gonna get my shoes on" 

"Cool" He turned to my brother and they did a handshake together which made me smirk.

"Michael make sure you help Mom please with the dishes"

"Okay" he replied.

"Are you sure you don't want me to help?" He said turning around and stopping slightly.

"No it's fine" I replied

I walked to the door and shoved my huaraches on "Do you know how to ride a swegway?" I said slipping my shoes on and looking up to his overpowering height.

"Yeah, I ride them all the time" He said with a smug smirk.

"Good" I grabbed my swegway out for him and handed it over "Cos you're gonna need to" I said returning to my sharp self trying to not let him wriggle his way through my guard.

I grabbed my power longboard which was a longboard that moves with controls then headed outside into the warm air. We stood on the swegway and power board, Simon following me until we got to the hill.

"Ever been down a steep hill before?" I said slowing down and coming to a stop.

"No, why?" 

"Just lean back a little and don't let yourself go too fast, or you're fucked" I pointed to a scar on my elbow "Trust me, I know" I said showing him.

I rolled up to the hill and got into the zone, I got low to the ground picking up enough speed that it was hard for me to lose control. I whizzed around the objects in the way and made it to the bottom.

I turned around to see a Simon that looked like he shit himself.

"That was bare scary" He said in his perfect British accent.

"Bare?" I said confused.

"It means like a lot in british slang" 

"Oh makes sense... come on, I've just got something quick to do then we'll head to the pier" I said hopping on my board. 

We travelled all the way too Diego's garage, I picked up my board and walked in Simon following me.

"Muchachos ! Estoy aquí !, joven Tazza ha llegado" I shouted to everyone.

"Ayeeeeee, Tazz!" They shouted back smiling. 

"Leúgo! Where's Diego?" I said shouting slightly

"Out the back" He said with a smile.

I turned to face Simon "Stay close and don't touch anything" I said warning him and he nodded.

We headed out back to see Diego sitting there "Diego?"

"Tazz? What happened? Who's this?" He said getting up and putting his glasses on the top of his head.

"Diego, this is Simon. Simon this is Diego" They shook hands.

"Now what happened?" 

"Bunch of boys beat me up, Simon helped me out" I said like it was nothing.

"Watch when I get my hands on them" He said threateningly.

"It's fine Diego" I said looking down.

"Got anything for me to do?" I said changing subject.

"No you just chill out this week... you need it" He smiled then turned to Simon.

"And you Chico, look out for her" He said then began walking off.

"Aye Diego" I said in a sigh. 

"Vamonos" I said to Simon and headed out of the garage. 

I hopped onto my board and powered it, not saying a word to Simon. I fell deep into my thoughts.
