While we're young

Taylor's p.o.v

I turned to Luke, he looked cute when he was concentrating. I stood up and looked at all of the boys and Katie

"we need to talk about something"

Corey laughed and Matt flicked him in the ear

"oi you thumped me"

I shook my head and frowned

"wha?" Luke said breathing out the smoke from his cigarette

"let's go on a road trip"

Katie looked up now and stopped running her hands through Dylan's hair

"you do know that means we can't smoke weed or get drunk as often?"

Dylan who was laid across the bench with his legs on the boys and his head on Katie

"Lizzy would have to come" Corey said

I sat on the floor in front of them

"I'm down"

"yeah sure"

"okay"

"yeah alri"

"why not"

"where will we get the money?" Matt said standing up too

"between us if we sell all the drugs"

"ight, i have 20 pre made spliffs thats like £70"

"i have two spare bongs and a bag of weed thats gotta be at least £100"

"i have like £200 of cocain left from the party, katie?"

"i have 10 packs of cigerettes and 16 spliffs which is what?"

"like £90"

"I wanna keep like 5 spliffs but i can sell like 10, thats £35"

i worked it all out in my head

"thats £495"

"we can take my mums car" Lizzy said walking around the corner

"yeah?" Matt said frowning

"yeah, use the money for food, petrol and shit"

she came and sat on Coreys lap

they whispered and then she turned around

"my mums left, dunno where to but shes left me £1200"

I stood up and couldn't help smiling, finally getting away from this shit hole.

that night was spent with us all selling our things to get money and we came out just short of £500 we now had nearly £2000 to last us a bit.

I woke up on the sofa with half a blanket on me

I could hear all of the other people in the house up

"get out the shower cassie"

"oi, wheres the cereal?"

"IS TAY UP YET?" I heared Matts voice call as a door slammed shut and he walked into the room

I sat up "what you doing here?"

"oh... my... my mum left early for work"

I don't think so, I got up and walked out of the door with him following close

"I don't like em" Matt nudged me

"me neither but I have nowhere else to go dude"

I don't think he does either.

I walked down the road and we met up with everyone and added up everything we have to check it over one last time

"well we should all pack, bring as little as possible for a month"

while I was getting all of my things Matt came in and walked into my room with a jacket and a spliff

"I thought we sold all of em" I frowned and folded a pair of jeans

"please, don't pretend that you didn't keep a few, let's be honest we all knew we have sold em of for grands less than what they're worth but in this neighbourhood that's all we could get of the crackheads, we buy them of Gav and Dein for hundreds less than we should, it's dirty money... where we're going there gunna sell them a real price, ain't none of us affording that"

I pulled my last 5 remaining spliffs out from under my mattress and lit one

"so, why you only got nothin?" I tugged his jacket a little bit

"wanna know why?" Matt snapped back at me now starting to get aggressive

"dude, chill. I was only asking" I zipped up my bag and laid on my bed

"sorry..." Matt piped down and scratched his head

I had never seen him like this before, he's usually so nice.
