Chapter 30

My dad reversed into their drive them turned the engine off. “Come on then I thought you would be happy! You and Tom are like 2 peas in a pod; to be honest he is the only boy I like you spending time with. Remember that time when you were stuck on your maths and Spanish course work, I didn’t even have to ask him, he just offered to help you. Now that boy is a gentleman.” He smiled to himself.  He must of seen the look on my face “Come on if you and Tom have had a bust up I sure you can both sort it out” he said and rubbed my knee. “If only it was that simple” I mumbled and smiled weakly. “Come on” he said and opened his door. I sighed and opened my door and stepped out. I wonder how he’s gonna react when he sees me? I guess I will find out.

Once we reached their door I waited for my dad to knock then we waited for someone to answer. I just prayed it wasn’t Tom, let me just hope he has extra training or something. I was suddenly faced with a very smiley Ben. I smiled “May!” he shouted and hugged me. Ben and I have always been close it’s probably because I have known him pretty much all of his life. I used to go to Tom’s nearly every weekend when we were small, because my dad was working and Debby kindly offered to look after me, she said it used to keep Tom out of trouble anyway. We used to build dens, play hide and seek, football you name it we did nearly everything together ever since we first met at the diving centre aged 6 and 7. I was always welcomed into their family like I was one of them. Tom used to sometimes say ‘Ben likes your more than me’ and then I would tease him and say ‘I like him more than you’. And he would go off in a sulk. But in about 10 minutes we would be back best of friends. But then as we got older and he had exams then I got exams I guess it just kinda stopped.

“Al’right Ben” I laughed “Yeah, why aren’t you ever round anymore” he asked “Well I’ve been a bit busy boring exams and school stuff” I smiled “Aww ok” he smiled, I saw a small boy, he looked about the same age as Ben standing in the hall way. “Oh May this is James, my best mate” he smiled “Hi” I smiled “hi” he replied. Then Debby appeared “Come on Ben don’t let our guests linger in the door way” she smiled “Hi Debby” my dad said from behind me. “Hi ya” she smiled. She pulled me into a big firm hug “How are you sweetie?” she asked “Yeah alright” I smiled; she let go of me and pulled my dad into a hug. “Will’s just in the living room with his new girlfriend” she winked. I laughed. Ever since William was about 10 he had always been popular with the ladies I swear ever week he had a new girl. I popped my head around the living room door. “Al’ right Will” I said “Oh hey May…this is Bex” he said an indicated at the cute blonde girl next to him wearing bright pink lip stick, shorts with tights and a tight tank top. “Hi” I smiled. “Hi” she said quietly. I was about to walk to the kitchen “Oh and Will you might want to…” I said and rubbed my cheek. He hesitated then realised what I was talking about and rubbed the pink lipstick stain on his cheek. “Oh cheers May” he smiled “Any time” I smiled. As I walked out I heard him talking to his girlfriend “Yeah she’s the bes,t like my sister, I can tell her anything she’s pretty cool” I smiled to myself and made my way to the kitchen where my dad and Debby were. “Do you want a cuppa” Debby asked “Yes please” “A tad of milk 1 sugar?” she asked “How do you remember that?” “Well years of practise” I laughed. I sat down next to my dad at the table. So I’m guessing Tom isn’t here otherwise he would of seen me by now. “So where’s Tom” my dad asked like he read my mind. “He’s just training, he should be back soon” she said and handed me my tea. I smiled “So I bet it’s nice having a day off” Debby said “Yeah, it’s actually lovely it was nice to not waking up at 5” I laughed. Then I heard the door slam. “Mum I’m home” I heard his voice echo through the house. I hid slightly behind my dad just hoping I would somehow become invisible. He walked through to the kitchen and chucked his kit back by the washing machine then he saw me. He paused in his steps and looked at me right in the eyes, and my heart skipped a few beats just by his look. That’s when it hit me maybe I hadn’t done the right thing. He was just perfect. I am such a twat.
