Chapter 1- Ain't It Fun

Perry's POV

I sat down at my table next to my best friend,Emma, today was our last day at the sixth form we go to in Ossett. Today seemed to end up being boring,like normal and we ended up just making up a story, since we were in English. I slipped my earphones in and allowed Green Day to flow into my head. Emma seemed to have the same idea.

I decided to make a horror story, as I love them. I just got to the end and started reading it over......

Laying there, next to me, my cold dead mother. The creature who killed her ran away. I got up and stumbled to the door. The smell of rotting flesh hit my nose....

..... he was close....

I stepped through the threshold to the room stained with blood, where he had slaughtered the rest of my family. I had no emotion, I was too scared. I heard footsteps, the horrid sound of a knife being sharpened. I looked round the corner into the kitchen. There stood the figure of the cold-blooded killer. My eyes caught the sight of the door to get out of this putrid house. I cautiously walked to the door ,grabbing the handle, slowly turning it. The door creaked open. I heard the sound from the kitchen go silent. He heard me.

I ran full speed to the street........

I was nudged by Emma letting me know the bell had rang. We got up and walked out the door to Art.

" What was your story about... wait I know it was a horror wasn't it?" She said. I nodded and she rolled her eyes.

" What was yours about then?" I replied. "Mine was about a girl who lost everything to then regain it by stop asking God to help and got off her arse and did sommat useful herself." She replied in a cheerful tone, Emma is Atheist and has a very strong feeling about this subjective. "Really???" I smirked and she replied all-too-knowingly with "Really!"

***************

The day went on quite boringly with Art, Maths, then lunch (spent on the steps we took after Emma's sister and her friend left), which was followed by Science and History. Yawn!!!

We walked out the gates happy to be free and walked into the car park, into my car. A few minutes of waiting for my little sister and singing along to Panic! At The Disco, because me and Emma had a liking for them. Well, Emma loves them really , I'm more metal too be honest, my sister got in and we drove off.

I turned on Black Veil Brides on the way home and sang along. Emma rolled her eyes and chuckled, whereas Tammie, my sister, moaned for me to turn on her music, pop music, instead I turned up Fallen Angels and me and Emma sang along as that's the only song Emma likes of them. I dropped off Emma and drove off home. I turned off the music, to Tammie's relief, and locked the car. We walked into the house, throwing our bags on the table, Tammie went to go get dressed out her uniform, while I went to lock myself in my bedroom, as I do everyday. Just before I could get to my room, my mum called me. I turned on my heels and walked into the living room where she sat with her knitting.

"Yeh?" I asked

" I've got something very important to tell you.. sit down" She smiled. I obeyed and sat down.

" Me and your dad have thought about this for sometime and..... well... you know your cousin Josh?"

"Yeh?" I replied confused. I had never really met Josh as he lived in America. He was a couple years older than me and we sent Christmas presents to each other as that's what you do, but I've never really though much about it.

"Well in two days he will be coming here to stay for a bit while...." she trailed off.. "while what?" I edged her on.

" While you pack." She looked down at the floor. "Where am I going?!" I replied shocked.

"To America with him" I stared at her. Ive always wanted to go to America.

"It's a present for finishing sixth form." She smiled.

" OH MY GOD!!!! Thankyouuuuuuuuu!!!!!" I shouted while diving onto her, giving her a hug. She laughed and got back to her knitting.

***************

I woke up, rubbing my eyes and stretching. There was the faint sound of talking coming from the kitchen. I turned to look at the clock. 10:30 am. I groggily got out of bed and made my way through to the kitchen murmuring a "morning" to whoever were talking. I turned on the kettle and got my cup ready.

" Ermm Perry,sweety, do you want to get dressed" My mum says calmly. I turn around to see my mum and Josh Balz,from motionless in white, sat at the kitchen table. My eyes widened as I stared at Josh. He chuckled and said " Hi Perry."

" uhh.... Hi.. Urm... Your Josh Ballz....from motionless in white" I stuttered. I was really fan girling inside now.

" This is your cousin, Perry." I drew my attention away from Balz and put it on my mum.

I didn't know how to act. To find that a member of your favourite band is any relation to you is pretty massive and got me by surprise.

I then realised that I was still in my pjs. "Ugh..I'll go get changed" I said quickly and rushed to go get changed. I put on my black ripped jeans and Asking Alexandria skull top. I applied my makeup and walked back into the kitchen.

Josh looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back.

"So urmm... What are we doing today,then?" I asked my mum.

" Well you need to pack for a start."

" Ok" I turned to walk to my bedroom and heard someone get off their seats. I shrugged and continued to walk into my bedroom. As I was shutting the door, Balz stuck his foot in. I let go of the door handle and let him walk in. He sat down on my bed and I looked down at him in confusion.

"I want to help you pack" He said simply and smiled.

" Mostly to get to know you." He added quickly. I nodded and pulled out my suitcase from under my bed.

"I'll pass you clothes and you put them in" I told him. He nodded and I opened the wardrobe and started picking out clothes.

"So, how old are you?" He smiled.

" 17 " I replied.

We carried on talking like this, him asking me questions, while we packed. We were finished in an hour.

I pulled my suit case out and we walked into the living room. We were greeted by my puppy, Memphis, and sat down.
