The sun shone down on my hair making it look lighter than it was. I sat on the swing in the park. I could feel the cool metal chain link of the swing part on my fingers and the roughness of the rubber seat part on my legs. Where it was hot my legs were getting kind of stuck to it.
"Jessica" I heard someone call as a light breeze blew through the air, causing someone's wind chimes to ping. I ignored it and listened to the birds. "Jessica, darling, what are you doing". It was my mother, she was stood right infront of me. Trying to sound like she was scolding me but her smile said otherwise.
My god, she was so beautiful. Her blonde hair blew solfly in the breeze, her bright blue eyes had a glint that only said that she loved me and her other two children dearly. I looked up at her and smiled.

"Come swing with me mammy" I reply. She sat on the swing next to me.

"You need to wake up little Jess" She says with a giggle "someone's at the door".

As soon as my mother said that I shot up in my bed and sure enough someone was banging on my door and ringing the buzzer like there had been a murder.
"HANG ON" I shout, Pulling my dressing-gown on. I walk down the hall and pull the door open.
He just stands there staring at me. He still looked exactly the same except he had a really, really shit hair cut.

"It's you" he exclaims "It's really you. I don't fuckin' believe it".

I sigh "yes it's me, Liam, in the flesh. How did yer find me?".

"Hired a private investigator like" he repies.

I roll my eyes "I guess you best come in then. Tea?".

"Yeah g'on then love" he rubs his hands as he walks in, in the typical Liam Gallagher way.

"Same as always?" I ask as we walk into the kitchen. He nods then sits at the island. "Keep it down yeah, El's still asleep".

"I weren't goin' a be loud anyway" he replies.

"What yer doing here?" I ask as the kettle boils.

"Like at yer house or in Margate in general" he asks.

"Margate" I reply.

"Well we jus' released an album in february, so we're tourin', playin' about an hour away. I brought yer a copy actually" he reaches into his parka coat pocket and slides a CD actross the island as I put the teas down and sit opposite him.
I pick it up. Its a picture of new york on the cover.... you can see the hotel we stayed at when I was writing that NME article. I wondered if that was on purpose.

"Standing on the shoulders of giants?" I ask "weird name".

"Yeah.... theres a few songs im sure were about yer in there" he replies "I wont say which".

"Well, thanks Li. I'll urh. Give that a listen" I reply and put it in the fruitbowl. Where it'll probably live for all eternity.

"What are yer doing in margate anyway? Yer brother said yer moved to California".

"We did. I've got a beachhouse out there. Its lovely. But I wanted to be home in england. So we moved back after a year.... we go on holiday there though and I rent it out sometimes".

"Thats nice" he replies.

Just then eliza comes walking in. Her hair had turnt a dirty blonde colour and she had these big blue eyes like noel. She definitely had the Gallagher eyebrows. She rubs her eyes with the sleeves of her pink pjamas. They had Fizz from the childrens show The Tweenies on. "Mornin' sunshine" I smile at her.

"Good morning mummy" she replies and then points at Liam "who's that?".
I reach over and pick her up so that she is sitting on my lap.

"This here is yer Uncle Liam" I say "he's a singer in a band".
