Home for the Unwanted

Chapter 15

I covered my ears with a pillow in the hopes to block out their...voices. Yeah, I'll go with that.

 "It's Lauren who's to blame." Peter sung, or screeched. Depends on how you look at it though my dreary perspective. It was an understatement to say that I was so confused right now.

 Lauren went red, "All I did was sit in it. It was already breaking."

"Yeah they all say that." Rose grinned.

Then Bella clapped her massive hands together, "Well! I think we all know what this means." Peter gasped, "Oh my God it seems like yesterday we went dumpster diving."

"Oooh I wish I broke the chair sooner!" Squealed Lauren, jumping on the balls of her feet and clapping her hands.

I took a deep breath, "Ok, this is all well and good but I just have one small thing to ask: Could someone be kind enough to tell me what the flying fuck is happening right now?"

The group smiled.

"I don't think he's ever done it before." Rose smirked.

"No I don't think he has." Bella said smugly.

"Oh this will be fun." Quipped Peter.

"You'd better come with us." Smiled Lauren.

Ok.

So at this very moment I am walking down what I assume is one of the dodgiest towns in this city. And as for my friends who are leading me down this place and encouraging me to walk further. Oh yeah, they're just swell with all this.

I have one question to ask: should I be scared? Or maybe concerned?

Hey, maybe they were murders all along. Funny  how life can turn out. Or maybe I'm just so ducking hungover right now I'm probably having hallucinations.

Then everyone stopped and Rose announced, "Ah, here we are." I looked up my eyes meet a sign at read:
The City Dump

To be honest with the amount of things we've done together I wouldn't be surprised if this was the place I ended up at. Bella turned to smile at me,

"Thomas welcome to your first ever dumpster diving."

I asked them what the hell that meant and everyone said to come with us. Then they started going over the fence. Bella, with a huge thump as her spiked boots hit the ground. Lauren, taking careful steps as she climbed. Rose, hopping over making the fence chime. Peter gave me a leg up then he came over, falling off and stumbling then complaining about how it ripped his clothes.

Then they all let loose, like children in a playground. This was their playground, and we were the kids. Each different ways of playing, like the kids on the swings and the others on the slide.

Bella boomed in her loud carrying voice. We had our little group huddle like a sports team. She instructed us to find a new chair and to watch out. Remember to be quiet because we don't want to get caught. Get caught? That worried me slightly but also made me a bit more excited.

We broke off to go look for this chair. I went with Peter since I didn't want to lose everyone in this massive place. He was slow. My god, and when I told him to hurry the hell up all he replied with was, "Sorry, your with a browser." As if we were in some kind of shop. What was he even doing anyway? He just kept picking up pieces of trash and looking at them. Peter also stepped so cautiously and every now and then he grimaced at some of the sights he saw. Granted some things you could see there were quite disgusting.

I had climbed up a little mountain of trash to see better and caught sight of Lauren. I called out her name and yelled to her. She jumped when she saw me then waved in a sort of tumbled kind of way. She walked over to me and in the process tripped over into a puddle and ruined her ballet flat shoe. I went to go help her. Despite her face going as red as chilli, she just laughed as she took the shoe from me and joked about how maybe she could change to the mouldy shoes hung up on the telephone wire. I swear, her face was always going red when she was around me. Guess she was just a nervous person. Her appeal was always quite mousey.

Rose went with Lauren like I had gone with Peter. I laughed inside myself when I saw her.

A.N
I've been procrasting with my writing so much, I've just been writing in little bits. It actually feels quite good to go on and do some writing after not been doing it for weeks. Sorry this one was a bit slow. I had written it, edited it, then forgot to actually publish it. Oops. I've also been doing a lot more planning for this story and another one which is why I haven't been writing.
