I woke up and slid out of Ashton's arms, walked over to my wardrobe and got dressed and pulled on my shoes. I kissed Ashton on the cheek and walked out of my bedroom, down the stairs and out the front door.
I walked down the alley and opened the door of the coffee shop, ordered what I always get and sat at the back table. Once I'd finished drinking my coffee I decided to find the nearest bus station and catch a bus into town. It was India's birthday today so I needed to get her something. I found a bus shelter and sat under it and waited for the next bus to come.
"Hiya, Maisy right?"
I turned around to see Ella stood, leaning against the bus shelter.
"Uh yeah, hi"
"Going into town?"
"Yeah, when does the bus come?"
"Maisy, this village is so old how have you not caught on?"
"About what?"
"No buses come down here anymore, hell, not many cars do"
"Oh, how do I get into town then?"
"The nearest town is about 2 hours away"
"Shit, is there any shops round here apart from the corner shop. I don't really think milk or bread will make a good birthday present"
"There's a shop a few blocks down, it has a machine in which you print photos off. I made Luke a scrapbook for his birthday and he loved it"
"That's sounds good, where's that at?"
"I'll show you come on"
I thought about what Michael might think but it was India's birthday, surely he'd understand right?
"Coming"
We got to the little photoshop and I printed a few pictures of us off, some of her and michael, some of us all and made them into a scrapbook for her.
The time was about 4pm and it was starting to get dark so me and Ella started walking back.
"Thankyou for taking me there Ella"
"No problem chick, hope she likes her present"
"Bye"
"Bye"
I walked down the street and opened the front door with my key,
"I'm home"
I put my coat on the hanger and kicked off my shoes.
"India?"
Michael walked in instead
"Where have you been Maisy?"
"Just went to the shops"
"Bullshit, there aren't any shops around here"
"Yeah there i-"
"You were with Ella weren't you?"
"Well yeah, she showed m-"
"What have I told you about this maisy, I'm fed up of you being so irresponsible you either start doing as we ask or-"
"Or what Michael? You'll ground me? Send me to my room? You're not my dad Michael"
"I'm in charge here"
"Fuck it, whatever, tell India I said happy birthday" I threw the scrapbook on the floor and ran upstairs, knocking Ashton slightly as he was coming down.
"Maisy"
"Leave me alone ash"
I locked my door and sat on my window sill.
It was so much easier when we were back in Australia. We didn't have to worry about going out by ourselves, what people were gonna say when we got home. Nothing.
it's been a month since I last updated shit.
Happy Birthday Ind :D xx
