(Jamie's POV)
I woke up on Ellie's floor, she offered me her bed but I insisted I took the floor it was only fair seeming as she let me stay here. I pulled my phone out of the charger which was placed on the drawer next to Ellie. Four missed calls and two messages from Michael.
From: Mike x
Can you please pick up, I want to know you are alright! X
From: Mike x
Jamie, get your sleepy arse up and get dressed we're going out, to try and take your mind of things,x
I let out the biggest sigh remembering everything that happened over the past couple of days, when I was younger I would never of imagined my life to be this way. I always imagined it as a fairytale, I'd grow up finish school get married and have my dream job.
What they fail to tell you when you're younger is, none of it happens like that.
I get up and neatly fold Ellie's covers and place them on the chair next to her bed. Last night I told Ellie everything the look on her face explained exactly what she was thinking. What the hell. I thought the same when I was speaking to her, how did my life get this bad? I knew that my life would never be smooth but, I didn't think that my brother would get involved with drugs...
"Morning, hunny." Ellie mumbles from her bed. I smile, Ellie is always overly nice always calling me cute things I want to say them back but I feel like they'll sound weird, I'm gonna give it a go.
"Did you have a good sleep, beautiful?" I asked placing the pillows on top of the covers. I turned to face her, she was now sitting at the edge of her bed.
"Someone is in a better mood." She said making her bed. That's what I liked about Ellie, she was clean and she'll tidy up. "I told you Ben and Jerry's work!" She winked, I carried on pulling all my stuff together. I grabbed a pair of ripped black jeans, and a red checkered to top and headed to Ellie's bathroom. After getting ready, I grabbed all my things and said thanks and goodbye to Ellie and left.
I hadn't text Michael yet to tell him I had left Ellie's, after all he isn't my dad. I walked past the local shop, I decided to pop in and get myself a drink. After choosing my drink, I walked up to the counter.
"Didn't realise you worked here?" I said to Aiden. He looked embarrassed standing behind the counter. He scanned the drink effortlessly. He gave me the dirtiest look ever, which soon changed into a smirk.
"Heard you were homeless?" He smirked. I hate his stupid smirk, I want to slap it straight of his face. I throw the money at him, and grab the drink and walk out. I wait outside the shop, just to hear his footsteps from behind me.
"What are you doing?" I said as he pulled out a cigarette and a lighter. He chuckled while putting it in his mouth and lighting it.
"You mate, need to lighten up." He said poking my shoulder. "I got told that I have to be nice to you, so I'm gonna try and be nice to you but you make it awfully hard you know when you throw your money at me." He smirked, putting the cigarette in his mouth once again taking a drag from it.
"Well, I'm meant to be staying away from Michael and the rest of you right?" I huff, folding my arms over one another.
"Look, I was angry." He said trying to calm me down. "This isn't why I want to be your friend all of the sudden but, you seem like you need all the friends you can get at the moment and maybe I want to be one of them. I heard what happened with Charlie, and your house must be terrible right now.." He shook his head I agreed with him, my house is a mess right now well my parents may have got home and called the police.
"There you are!" Michael called from the street opposite Aiden and I. I walk to the other side of the street as Aiden and mike just stare at each other, had something happened, an argument?
"Why was you with him?" Michael said wrapping his arm around me. I look up at him, and he is still staring at Aiden. Aiden has that stupid smirk on his face.
"I went to the shop." I said bluntly. What is with him today? He seems so off. If Michael doesn't like him, how does he know about my house and that it must be terrible or that I'm homeless at the moment,
"Michael, did you tell Aiden about my house and how it got robbed and things?" I ask. He shakes his head almost instantly. "How does he know then?"
All I saw was Michael's jaw clench, them Michael ran back to Aiden as fast as he could.
