stay away

Miles

It was only half 5 and the new house was already filled with people. I recognised most of them. Some were mum and dads close friends, others I didn't know but recognised from the bands they were in. I saw Zack from all time low and although I had met him a few times before, I internally fangirled as Atl are one of my favourite bands. I am lucky that my dad is in a band who's genre is one that I like because I often get to meet members of bands that I love. However I can never show that I am a big fan so I don't make myself look like an idiot or embarrass my dad.

One person I am definately hoping to see tonight is Tony from pierce the veil. Sleeping with sirens are touring with them next year and I am very excited. I am going to go to a show and go backstage where I will see Tony again. Some people probably think it is weird that I have a slight obsession with one of my dads best friends but I don't care. Tony is perfection and that's the end of it.

I was looking around the new house when I found a room I hadn't explored yet. I pressed my ear against it to hear for voices inside. Nothing. I slowly pushed down on the door handle and leaned against it. The door quickly fell open. The room was enormous. It was completely empty except from about 5 or 6 boxes in the corner that were labelled 'SWS stuff'. I assumed it was full of awards and CDs. My footsteps echoed around the room at each step I took and I quickly paced over to the other side where there was another door. It was a pure white colour with a jet black handle. I clasped the handle and stepped into the hallway on the other side. There was nobody around and the music I could previously hear had become suddenly very faint. I walked along the hallway and turned a small corner. I was faced with a boy dressed in all black. His hair was rugged and long and just reached his eyes. He had a lip piercing and was looking down at the floor. Uninterested and bored. When he heard me walking towards him he looked up at me.

"hi" I said joyfully

"alright" he replied with an uncaring tone.

"I'm Effie"

"Miles"

"oh you're Franks son right?"

"yeah, that's me"

"I'm Kellin and Katelynne's daughter"

he didn't say anything and we stood in silence for about a minute until I finally said something.

"so, what school do you go to?"

"I'm not going to school at the moment" he hesitantly replied

"really, why?" I questioned him

"I mean you don't have to tell me if u don't want". I quickly exclaimed.

"no, no it's fine. I was caught carrying some legal highs".

"Were you trying to sell them?"

"Yeah I guess, I do a bit of dealing sometimes".

This is perfect! I have been worried that I wouldn't be able to find a dealer after I moved but I've already found one. I know my dad told me that he was bad news but he doesn't know what I'm like.

"oh okay. erm do you think maybe you could deal for me sometime?"

"well err, it depends what you want. I've already been caught once so I'm keeping my head down for a bit. But if we did them together then it's kind of like I'm not really dealing, just sort of sharing in return for money".

"well that would be alright I guess" I smirked at him.

Miles is very attractive, he has a sort of emo look about him yet it isn't obvious. He looks exactly like a younger version of his dad. I wonder if he's into the same kind of music as me? or maybe he is bored of all of that music now because his dad is in a band. That didn't stop me though and he definately looked the part for liking that genre. He was wearing tight black jeans and black boots. I couldn't see his top that well as he was wearing a jacket but I think it was a suicide silence t-shirt.

"are you wearing a band shirt?"

"yeah suicide silence. They are one of my favourite bands."

"I wouldn't call them one of my favourites but they are an amazing band for sure."

"yeah, such a shame Mitch died".

"poor Kenadee, loosing her dad at such a young age".

"I've met her a few times, she's a great girl. So brave" he told me with a sad expression on his face

"rest in peace Mitch" I quietly said.

"so anyways, what school are you joining?" he asked me

"Sutton Heath High" I relied

"that's where my dad wants me to go when I'm allowed back at school"

"oh where did you go before?"

"Monroe west carter. It was such a shit hole seriously be glad you are not going there".

"well hopefully you will be joining soon. It will be nice to know someone".

"well I can show you around the town if you want and maybe introduce you to some of my friends who go to Sutton if you want?"

"yeah that would be awesome thanks. although my dad told me I should stay away from you. I guess he heard about what you did".

"really because you are little miss follow the rules aren't you?"

"yeah well he doesn't know about all that and I would prefer it to stay that way".

"okay calm down I won't tell" he gave me a quick wink and turned away. He proceeded to walk down the hall and into another room.

I was just about to follow him when I heard my mum calling me to come and get something to eat.
