Changing tides

I woke up still in my pjs and super dry jacket I looked to the right Eddie was lying wide awake his face staring into mine. I laughed and turned to my left Nathan was lying on the floor his hands covering his face And his hair was sprawled across the floor he must have read my mind as he sat up, still asleep, and flicked his hair into place. I rolled my eyes and opened my drawer. I picked up my phone. I put it down. I wasn't going to make my self homesick by checking messages so I took out my clothes my favourite top, it's was red with spiderman on it, and a pair of black jeans.

I went to the bathroom to get changed. I put on my clothes brushed my teeth and washed my face , I sprayed my wrist with a little bit of Eddies after shave so that I would smell like him and put on my makeup. I swiped along my eyes with liquid eyeliner and dusted my cheeks with blusher. I picked up my pjs from the floor an opened the door.

To my surprise Eddie was standing at the door with his legs crossed and his hand at his groin "Nada hurry up and get out of the way I need a piss!" he smiled and pushed me out of the way.

I stepped out into the bedroom and saw Nathan sitting on the bed looking through my phone. He looked up from what ever he was doing and winked at me. "Were you texting someone ?" I asked

"nope" he said smirking as he did

"what were you doing?"

"watching a .... a movie !" he said the smirk turning to a grin

" I love movies ! What one ?"

His grin turned to a laugh "One for big boys to watch " I grimaced. I didn't want to know anymore. My face must have shown I was in disgust because Nathan was rolling about the floor. "What's going on ? What's so funny ? " Eddie said as he stepped out of the bathroom.

" Nathan was watching porn on my phone" I whined. Eddie joined in laughing "And you asked him what he was he was doing didn't you ?" he said between laughter. I nodded.

We sat at the breakfast table in silence. Not one word was spoken between any of us until I noticed that Sophie was absent from the table. Nathan must have read my mind .... Again because he broke the silence "Where's Sophie ?" that exact moment the blonde bimbo entered the hall of awkward silence and sat next to Nathan. He put his arm around her and began snogging her fake, makeup caked face off.

Eddie looked at me and laughed and we scraped back our chairs and left the house. "Where would you like to go ?" asked Eddie as he entwined his fingers in mine and I swear my heart skipped a beat. I shrugged my shoulders "I don't know anything about Glasgow how should I know where to go ?" I laughed.

"How's about some shopping ?" , "we have some nice shops here !" I nodded and followed his lead.

We went into loads of shops even one called Hollister and it was dark loud and smelly but the clothes were nice.

We then walked into a shop called Jack Wills Eddie leaned in close "This is my favourite shop" He whispered into my ears sending shivers down my spine. Then he picked up a pink hoodie which made me laugh "What you laughing at ?" he said

"Is pink your favourite colour then Eddie? " I laughed

"Actually I'm thinking about buying it for my girlfriend ! What do you think?" That stopped my laughter. He had a girl friend !? Then what was all the hand holding about earlier ?

"Hello earth to Nada ?" he said waving a hand in front of my face "do you think I should by it for her ?"

"yeah of course, it's lovely" I said trying not to cry "let's go home now. "

Eddie nodded in agreement "But first let me buy this yeah ?" he handed the cash to the girl behind the counter who was flirting with him big time.

I have to admit he was gorgeous his dirty blonde hair was curly and messy and his greeny brown eyes sparkle in the light and his tight t-shirts show off his obvious Abs. I mentally slapped myself and reminded myself that he was taken and at that moment he walked over to me "Okay let's go !"

When we returned home the door to our dorm was wide open. Eddie gave me a strange look and looked back at him with a 'don't ask me' look. We walked in and Sophie and Nathan were making out on ... ew... My bed.

"wow guys ! Get a room !" Eddie stammered

"This is out room" said a rather breathless Nathan

Sophie walked over to where we were, still trying to catch her breath she began to wave a finger at me "Now Nada we wouldn't be jewous would we ? " Her breath stank and it was obvious she was drunk as she slurred her words.

"Ew have you been drinking ?" asked Eddie

Nathan put a finger to his mouth "Shhhh we don't want anyone to know okly ?" He tripped as he tried to walk over to us and his face smacked against the frame of the bunk bed. He sat up and blood trickled down from his forehead and I began to feel sick so I ran out of the room and straight down to the lobby area. An old lady stopped me and offered me sweets, although I'm not sure that it wasn't crack. I kept running. I ran for the front door and kept going, I ran all the way to the park before I had to stop. My heart was pounding out of my chest and I could feel the McDonalds that we had at lunch come back up.

I stood there on the grass not bothering to move a muscle. The sky started to spin around my head and the floor spun the opposite way. Suddenly I felt my knees give way and I feel to the ground.

I woke up to a familiar smell. It was the smell of my mums homemade Povitica's. But it couldn't be. Could it?

I felt something cold on my head

"Njegova mama He ovdje ok" my mums voice is so easy to recognise. I sat up and looked at her, she hadnt changed a bit, her pure blonde hair was scraped back in a bun and her make up was light and hardly noticeable. She smiled at me and stroked my face "Do you remember how to speak Croatian ?" she asked

"Yes of course !" I said with a grin. Then I remembered why I was angry with my mum , two young girls about five or six years old walked into the kitchen their dirty blonde hair swishing below their hips. The we're identical the same eyes and the same confused look "Mummy why is there someone lying on the kitchen table?" asked one who was slightly taller than the other.

"Jenna that's not nice be polite ! Carly, Jenna this is Nada, your sister !" my mum said gripping my hand and digging her nails into my wrist. Carly and Jenna both tilted their heads like confused dogs but shrugged and came over to where I lay.

"I'm Jenna" said the taller one "your name is lovely !" she exclaimed clapping her hands together in a seal like manner.

The other came over and took my hand, she shook it violently and said "And I am Carly very nice to meet you !" I nodded my head in approval with a fake grin spread across my face. How could they take this so well ? I thought to my self for a while and realised that I had to deal with the fact that my mum still loved me but she couldn't cope with all the children she was about to have. I turned to my mum who looked concerned "Nada are you still staying with your father ?"

"Yes. . . Eh no ... Ehm I'm staying with a friend at the moment just for a couple of days and .. Oh would you look at that it's time for me to go ! Love you bye. " I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek waved to the twins and ran back to the home.

I put the key in the door lock and stepped in side the room "Hello?" my voice echoed round the empty room. I sauntered over to my bed and dropped my body on to it. I heard a crackling noise and sat up to check it out. Sat on my bed was a tesco bag with something in it. On the front was a sticker with my name on it. I looked inside the bag and picked out a pink jumper, the same jumper that Eddie bought earlier. I unfolded it and it smelt like really strongly of his aftershave. A note floated onto my lap it's said 'Nada will you be my girlfriend ? Love Eddie'

I threw on the jumper and looked in the mirror it fitted perfectly! I quickly wrote yes on the back of the paper and put it under Eddie's pillow.
