Leaving day came quicker than I thought it would, they stock piled me up on like a month's worth of meds and sent me on my merry way, this was only five days after my stitches broke but they said apart from that I was fine. I felt great. Noel said that Oasis were touring England and I should totally come along to get myself out of the house. I obviously agreed on the one circumstance that I didnt have to look after eliza 24/7. No offence to her and I know im her mother but I just cant with babies right now. He said it was fine and that he can either hire a nanny to tour with us and she can come along, or paul and lyla can have her, along with the dog and cats as per usual. I chose the latter as long as they were ok with it. They said they were so Noel dropped eliza off two days before we were due to go. I had been back in supernova heights for a week. It was like seeing an old friend. I felt like it had been years when in reality it had been five months at most. Noel had cleaned the place up and locked that room. But I knew where the key was.
So much had happened in this house. Doing coke with paul weller in the first floor bathroom, dancing with fake bowie, interviewing real bowie in the livingroom for NME... i could go back to work. It had in reality only been a year since I left.
"I could go back to work" I say suddenly. Noel and I were watching some garbage show on the T.V. not really saying much.

"I dont think thats a good idea" he bites his lip nervously.

"Why? I loved working for NME it was my happy place" I reply.

"I just think it would stress you out too much" he replies then he thinks for a second "I've got a better idea".

"Go on? I'm listening".

"Upstairs somewhere, I've got this portable typewriter, why dont you bring it with yer and write a book in yer spare time, less hassle and you can work at yer own pace. No fuckin' big boss givin' you an impossible deadline too" he smiles.

"A book?" I ask "what would I even call it?". I dont even know why I asked him that because deep down I knew what to call it, I knew all along.

"I dunno, you tell me" he replies with a shrug "its your book my love".

"Bad To The Bone" I reply quickly "in my weird future coma dream thing... eliza got hit by a car and I was writing a book about our lives, it was called Bad To The Bone".

"Bad To The Bone, Huh? I like that".

"THATS WHAT YOU SAID WHEN I TOLD YOU IN THE DREAM" I shout. I dont know why this was exciting to me.

"Alright, calm down" he chuckles "yer know me too well. I say do it, fuckin' make that book real".

"Really?".

"Yeah if anyone believes you can do it, its me" he smiles and hugs me. I fiddle with my cast.

"Alright then" I say after a few moments of comfortable silence "i'll do it, for you and Eliza because I fuckin Love yer".

"Forever?" He asks.

"Hey thats my line" I reply "yer cant just steal my line like that man, thats soooo uncool".

"Just say it yer nerd".

I roll my eyes and kiss him "forever and fucking ever until the world explodes like pompeii and the human race dies in an awful lava fire".

"Alright bit graphic love" noel chuckes "i only wanted three words not a whole story".

"Yer lookin for a fight Gallagher?" I ask, pretending to square him up.

"Maybe I am" he winks and tries to do a new york gangster accent "whatchu gonna do about it".

"Please never do that ever again as long as yer fuckin' live yer square" i chuckle.
