"Oi! Mate, give us a kiss." Simon was seriously out of it tonight. He was... How do I put this? Away with the fairies.
"You alright Si, you need to take a nap?" I told him in a sarcastic mothers tone of voice. To this he just rolled his eyes and leant up from the sofa and grabbed onto my lower t'shirt.

"What d'yah think your doing mate? Not tempted in are we?" I swear this was a threat. "Right now calm down, I don't want to clear up any bloody mess off of the carpet again." I took a breathe of whatever Dylan handed me from behind. I could tell it was Dylan's hand as he was the pottiest out of them all. He had the most yellow fingers you'll ever see. Discussing, I know.

I woke up about 6:40am, ready to start work. I let out a yell and shut the door
Behind me. No one would of been awake yet to hear me leave anyway. Plus, they'd still all be nutted up from the night, so when they wake they won't even ask where I've gone.

I knocked on the door of Mia's flat. Mia is Dylan's sister and she hates the drugs. Like seriously she finds them disgusting, just like me. I hear her unlocking the door, to open with a "Heeya Andy!" She pulls me in for a awkward hug. She's the only person I feel comfortable with calling me that name.
"Hey Mia" I pause as we loosen our awkward hold on each other. "You alight then?" I come to see her every morning just to check how she is doing. It started off with a threat that Dylan made me do as he was always worried about her. He could do it if he wasn't so nutted in the head every morning to even find the strength to remove himself from that same darn sofa! Oh it gets me so angry just thinking about it. As it began with a threat I didn't like it so much. But she's a lovely girl so now it's my pleasure to check on her. I'm sure I'm like more of a brother to her than Dylan will ever be.

" I'm fine Andy, thanks for asking." She smiled up at me. "Dill still puffing away at it again?" I smirked a little. I looked up at her and she shook her head, she looked truly disappointed. But as if! I don't think Dylan will ever stop. He's been doing it since he was 16 and he's not gonna stop now. "It's a shame, he was such a lovely guy. Everyone saw a talent there he would've been big in the world. And now he sits around in his flat with his potty mates..." She stopped and winked at me as if I already knew. "Excluding you of corse." I smiled a little, "well thanks" I said with a much bigger smile on my face. "Your welcome, would you like some coffee? It's warm I've just made some"

She took a step back, this was an invitation to come inside I gathered. I've never been inside her flat before. For mainly reasons most concerning Dylan. But he wasn't here and I should know he's too lazy to have eyes put everywhere.
"Nice place!" I looked around the small attire. I felt quite uncomfortable though. It was small but cosy and really clean! She must have OCD it was spotless! however I did live In a drugs den full of Pott heads. So any place is cleaner compared to it. "Well thanks.
Oh god yeah, you haven't been in here before, I wonder why it's taken me this long to let you in." She thought out loud as she handed me the steadily stirred coffee. I smiled up at her. "Oh and don't tell Dylan." She turned around. I couldn't take it, every time, every where his threats followed me.
" Dylan's not here though Mia! It's just me and you." I shook my head just thinking again about Dylan and all the stuff he's told me about restricting myself to Mia. It's not like I fancy her. It would never happen anyway. More about that later.
Mia span herself around and took out her phone that had just vibrated in her jean front right pocket. She let out a noticeable gasp. "I don't want you to leave, I really don't, but I need you to go. Now please Andy. I'm sorry"
This is what she says every morning before I leave standing by her front door. There's always a message or call on her mobile and a gasp. Which always leads to me having to leave. Today I was lucky to be let in, so I didn't act too disappointed. I hugged her again. Awkwardly. And we both said goodbye to each other.

I know what your thinking, well we get on so well and are acting pretty close. She's also a girl who isn't in it for the drugs. I did see her as a very attractive young lady, the first time I was introduced to her.
