It was an early November morning, the cold, crisp air was surrounding London, and Bex, Bee and Clo were running around like a bunch of bloody lunatics, I on the other hand, was still worried about Megan and my grandad wanting me to go on that fucking wretched holiday with them at Christmas time, yes I didn't have to go, but Megan would still push me to go with her, regardless of if I even wanted to go with her or not.

"Come on Ro!, come join us in our quest for warmth!"
"Bex!, what the fuck are you on?!"
"I rewatched Quest for Camelot last night Bee!!, it was fucking awesome!!"
"You fucking Weirdo!"
"Oi!, what's your fucking problem though Bee?!"
"That movie is shit Becca!"
"(Gasps!!!), Bianca Jessica Bennet!, you take that back right now young lady!"
"Never!"
"Mum!, tell her to take it back!"

It wasn't the first time that I was called 'Mum' by these bunch of bloody idiots, however, it was the first time that I was called 'Mum' as a serious notion rather than a joke by them.

"Bee, you know that you shouldn't set Bex off like that, she's sensitive about her movies, also you ain't even watched it yet, so stop saying shit about one of my childhood jams, because I'll fucking slap ya silly"
"Sorry Mum, I take it back Bex"
"Thanks Mum"
"Your welcome Bex"
"Mum!, do you have any spare gloves?"
"Yes Clo, I have spare gloves, open my school bag and they should be in the smaller zip part because apparently none of you can bring your own fucking gloves when you go out in the bloody winter time"

Chloe then opened my rucksack, found the pair of bloody gloves that she was looking for and put them on, because apparently she couldn't bring her own pair of gloves.

"Thanks Mum"
"Wait why am I the fucking Mum here?"
"Because you just are"
"No, Jesus Christ, that's not why Clo"
"Enlighten me why don't you Bee"
"Well the reason why you're the Mum Ro is because you make everything better like a Mum would, also you carry all the stupid shit that nobody else thinks of for 'just in case somebody does something stupid', like if that doesn't scream Mum energy then I don't know what does Ro, also can you carry me?"
"Sure Bee, ya big fucking Baby"

So Bee jumped on my back, (which by the way she was fucking heavy to carry as she was a good foot taller than I am), and we continued to walk home from the train station, as we don't live next to it.

"Ro"
"Yeah Clo?"
"I just thought of something"
"Go on then"
"How's the situation with the holiday?"
"Wait what holiday?"
"The holiday that Ro's birth giver and her homophobic Grandad want her to go on Becca"
"I don't remember that though Bee"
"Of course you don't remember Becca"
"Moving on from wether Becca remembers me telling her or not, Dad and Papa know that I heard the phone call-"
"Shit dude, were they mad?"
"Nah Clo, they just said to me that I didn't have to go on the holiday with Birth giver and homophobic the dickhead if I didn't want to go, so I'm not going on the wrecked holiday, so I'm quite happy about that"
"I'm glad that it got sorted out for you"
"Me too Clo, me too"

Bee then decided that she had enough of me carrying her as she jump down from my back, she instead decided that I should get carried, I don't know why but I was not happy.

"Bee put me down"
"Never Addams, never"
"Why are you so mean?"
"Most people would think that I'm nice Ro"
"Yeah well firstly I'm not most people-"
"No shit Mum"
"Oh piss off, secondly I feel like people are patronising me when they pick me up my dudes"
"Now I feel bad, that was not my intention"
"I know, I was just letting you know how I felt, you know"

Bee then put me down again, which I was thankful for, because I hated it when people would pick me up as I had no control over if they drop me or not, which scares me, you know.

It was near the building of flats that I lived in, which the road by it is very busy, so I said my goodbyes there so that my friends would be a least a little bit more safe, not that they necessarily believe that but regardless it made me feel better.

"This is me now ladies and gentlemen"
"(Snorts), say hi to both of your Dads for me Ro"
"I will do Clo"
"Good, see ya tomorrow"
"See ya Clo"
