“hey Matt you coming to the beach” Phil poked his head round my door

I looked up at him and blinked my head was killing me “what the fuck did you give me last night?”

He put his hands up in mock retreat “I gave you nothing voluntarily you took it away from me declaring it was bad for my Health” he laughed “looks like it’s not to good for yours”

“I need caffeine. now.” I said glaring at him

“all ready sorted” he chucked a can of monster at me “knew you would” I’d been hanging around them enough for then to know the way to my heart was through caffeine “so you coming?”

“what? Where? When? Now?” he lent over my bed and yanked open the curtains “ERG THE SUNLIGHT IT BURNS MY EYEBALLS OUT AH GODDAMMIT MAN”

“Matt's awake then?” I heard Austin call from downstairs

“fuck off squid-face” I yelled “what time is it?” I asked Phil

“3”

“in the afternoon?” I asked my eyes widening

“yes in the afternoon get up lazy arse” Alan said walking past my door “or do you need me to wake you up” I thought back to when we were younger and he used to tickle me to wake me up

“get lost Ashby” he took a step into my room “you take one more step and I’ll-” he took another step “NO ASHBY FECK OFF” I said leaping out of bed just as he dived for me. Phil who had just been watching innocently from the side lines was now thrown into the midst of it all when I stood behind him for protection.

“Hey don’t take me as hostage!” he said

so I pulled an old light-saber out of a pile of junk and held it up to Phil's throat “get out of my room or the guitarist gets it” I said with an evil grin and a fake pirate accent

“what are you? A space pirate?” Tino asked from the doorway

“aye I am! Aye Luke I am your father!” I said

just as Austin burst in the room in his storm trooper helmet “have no fear Ginger princess I'm here to save you” he yelled sweeping Alan off his feet and carrying him out of the room. Tino just shrugged before following them out. I was still holding onto Phil “you coming to the beach then?” he asked hopefully

“well I’m freaking awake now so I suppose I have to” I looked at my bag that I hadn’t bothered to unpack and was rather living out of it trying to remember if I had actually pack a swim suit “right shoo shoo get out of my room stoner. I’m not stripping for you” Phil jokingly looked disappointed and left.

“come on Matt you’re not a normal girl you’re not meant to take as long as them getting ready” Austin called

“fuck off squid-face” I called back. Squid-face had become my new name for him since he won a stuffed squid called squidgy [wow try saying that after a few beers down the pub on a Friday night].

I finally walled down stairs to the 4 guys sat around the table drinking a monster each Tino chucked one at me and I caught it skillfully.

“so what’s the agenda?” I asked

“beach. Surf. Tats” Phil said grinning at me

“tats?” I said with a weary smile “I have a really bad feeling that I agreed to this last night”

“yup! You agreed to come an get a tat with us!” Austin said grinning

“another one?! Where can I put it?” indicating at my tattoo covered body “and what will I have? I only get Tats with meanings”

“well we found your sketch book last night while carting you to bed” Tino said “so Alan and Austin have their tats figured out”

“wait what you mean?” I exclaimed

“that Ginger kitty with the crown on is so adorable!” Alan squealed

“omg noooo!” I put my head in to my hands. Austin and Alan just grinned at me with mischief

twinkling in their eyes. “why are you doing this to me Ashby?” I yelled

“what you really thought you could leave without a tattoo?” Austin mocked shock

“that’s not what I mean squid-face! I mean- well I don’t know what I mean!” they all laughed at me

“why do you want my drawings anyway?” I questioned

“well I said id get a squidgy tattoo and your drawing of him is amazing! An it will always mean something to me” he grinned as I remembered the squidgy I drew a few days back with vampire teeth and a little grin. Alan pulled a bit o f paper out of his back pocket and opened it out so I could see my drawing of the squidgy and a quick doodle I had done of Alan as anime in his little tiger onesie with a little crown falling over the one eye.

“really guys really?” I asked

“THEY’RE AMAZING” Austin and Alan both yelled

“what was your first tattoo Matt?” Phil asked

“these” I said pointing at my wrists where I had the of mice and men sign on my right one and an anchor on the left one.

“what do they mean?” Austin asked

“they are for the two most important people to me, this one” I pointed at the right wrist with the of mice and men & sign “is because of Alan cause hes my best friend and he’s always been there and the anchors for my partner” I said smiling “Lex”
