Miss Him. Miss Him Not.

Chaptor 2

Laura and George are coming round my house, we're on our way there from school now. It's a good thing i live close! I don't know what we'll do but I know it's going to be great fun!
George is on his skateboard, racing ahead, me and Laura are a few meters behind him.
"Do you think George likes me?" I was shocked as Laura asked me this question. What did she mean by that?!
"Of coarse he does! How can you ask that? You're one of his best friends!"
"No no, i mean, ya know..." i didn't know... "LIKE like..." Her voice had faded by the end of her sentence. Her tomato red face was almost as bright as her blond hair. i don't know how to answer this. I think he just likes her as a friend but if I say that it might hurt her feelings. WHAT DO I SAY?!
"Ermm... I'm not sure... he might"
Laura just shrugged and change the subject, asking me what I wanted to do when we reached my house. Before i could answer, i reached into my blazer pocket and pulled out my front door key. i fitted it into the lol of y front door and it gave way with a push. We all dump our bags at the bottom of the staircase, George put his skateboard in the garden and we all rush up to my room. Me and george raced up (i won!). Mums in her bedroom, painting probably, i don't think my dads home yet. Sarah's in her room, across the hall, either reading a magizene or tidying up.
"So... this is an awesome conversation!" George broke the awkward silence that was between the 3 of us, making a sarcastic comment.
"I know right!" i agree.
"Ill race you to the garden!" before i can argue and say i can't b bothered, George is already up and running! i jump up and sprint as fast as I can down the stairs, jump over all our bags and nearly bash into the glass door! I get to the garden, George is already here! suddenly, i feel something freezing cold go over my head, my cloths are sticking to me, my hair is soaked and I'm drenched from head to toe!
"IM GONNA KILL YOU!" George drops the bucket of water, and runs for his life! He better! He is going to be so dead when I get my hands in him! Mum's going to kill me when he sees my uniform like this! George stacks it on the grass, i leap on top of him and pin him to the floor. He struggles but i manage I breath on him with my 'camal breath' as dad calls it! He pretends to puke but then pushes me off him. We are laying side by side on the grass, both of us having laughing fits! Even Laura is standing at the door laughing like crazy! Just as I look away from Laura, even more water manages to splash all over me and George! I didnt think Laura would do that, she's too... girly! But before I know it, George is picking Laura up and spinning her around, she's screaming but he looks like she's enjoying herself. I grab the bucket and fill it up to the rim with freezing water from the out doors tap... i throw it over the top of my best mates and they stand there soaking wet... Laura looks like she's about to go rage! We all start laughing at the same time after a moment of silence!
"I'm gonna go home and change, meet you back here in 10!" George annonced.
"OK! Laura if you want you can borrow some of my cloths so you don't have to go home and get some..." Laura doesn't live that close to me, George does though.
"Sure! Thanks so much! You're a life saver!"
I hear a slight slam coming from the door. I'm guessing dads home. He sounds a little under the weather, from the whole door slamming and stuff. Probaby just a rough day at work. He doesn't even come and say hey, even though he's seen I'm here! He walks upstairs and me and Laura follow. He walks into his and mums room, me and Laura go to my room. My messy, unorginised bedroom with navy blue walls. Laura opens the bottom draw of my wardrobe (i have a few tshirts of hers from when she's come over from a sleepover and told me to keep them just in case she needs a back up outfit for any reason). She picks out some denim short shorts and a light blue top that stops just about her belly button and has thick straps. To go with it she puts on some black high heels. I pull out just some boot cut jeans and a black v-neck holister t-shirt and blue converse. I can hear mum and dad talking about something, but I can't hear what. They're trying to be quiet i can tell. Oh well, I'll just ask them what it was about later.
John (but I like to call him Jonny) walks in just as we're about to walk out.
"Can you give me a hug? i want a hug..." he says so innocently... in fact too innocently... i don't trust him.
"NO! GO AWAY!" I shout at him a bit harsher than I intended. Laura gives me a look as if to say 'go on! dont be so mean!' So i bend down to give him a hug. Before i knew it, my pants were lodged up my butt! Why would he give me a wedgy?! "GO AWAY!" This time he walks of, looking like he's about to cry... he's trying to make me feel bad, but it's not working. Me and Laura rush down stairs and sit on the creamy sofa in front of the massive flat screen tv in the living room, waiting for George.
Mum walks in, her hand over her eyes, she's shaking. I see a tear drip off her chin. What did dad do?! I go to give her a hug and ask whats wrong, but before I can, i see exactly what's wrong... dads standing by the front door with his coat on and a suitcase in his hand...

"W... What's going on?" neither if my parants would answer me. "Tell me!" 
I could tell this was a family issue so i turned round and gave Laura the look. She picked up her school bag, gave me a look as if to say 'hope everything's ok, fill me in later', and walked out the front door. Then, Sarah came staggering cautiously down the stairs, wondering what the hell was going on. 
"I... I..." Dad started to explain, but didnt finish. 
"Well, I... errr..." 
"SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!" I was starting to get impatient. Not that I wasn't to begin with. 
"Go on tell them," mum urged him to tell us. But before he could say anything, mum blerted out, "Your fathers leaving us...
