Everything from Nothing

Chapter 8

Janet's POV  

Theo looks at me as I walk by myself to the changing rooms ready for PE. He smiles and I feel my face go hot and I just know that I'm blushing!! I smile at him back and quickly hide my face with my hair as I look away from his gorgeous, dreamy...... getting away from the point!! But I feel so bad! Every time I see him I get butterflies in my stomach. In fact, screw butterflies, I get the whole zoo for Pete's sake!! But I know that I have to push away the only friend I've ever..... well my only current friend. I just feel like crap knowing that I have to throw away the only friendship I have, knowing that we could have been great friends. But anyway, even if we were great friends, who knows how long that friendship would have lasted?

Theo's POV

Today on my way to PE, I saw Janet. I remember smiling at her just as a friendly gesture, but she blushed so hard! Her face was like a tomato! She looks so cute when she blushes! Her hair falling in front of her blushy face to hide it! I just wish that-
"THEO!!"
"AHHGG!! God Jimbo! You scared the shi-"
"Theo. No swearing in front of your brother!"
"Fine." That's Jimmy, my 10 year old brother. I call him Jimbo though, it sounds cooler! He annoys me SOOOO much-So much I just want to teeeaar my face OFF and rip it up into tiiiiiiiny pierces of Face CONFETTI! So yeah, he's a bit annoying!
He always pretends he's so 'innocent'. He ALWAYS gets his own way!! Anyway, I've heard him swear loads when he's not around mum! If I even tell him to shut the hell up I get sent to my room!! How unfair is that?
"NEH NEH!!" he says, pulling a face at me. Gosh, if mum knew how much he resembled a gremlin, she wouldn't be on his side all the time!
"Welcome back to reality, bumder!" WOW! So nobody's allowed to swear around him, but he's allowed to watch inbetweeners and make references! My mums mind is messed up!! Well, I guess I understand why.
"Come on hun, lets go. Grab the flowers..."
"Yeah mum."

-20 minutes later after a car journey that everybody wanted to be over because Jimbo insisted he must sing the telly tubbies theme the whole way. -

We're here. This is the first time we've come to visit him ever since......
I lay the flowers down on the ground, next to the grave stone...
A tear roles down my cheek, the warm water leaving a trace that sent shivers over me when the wind blew. My heart stops beating and shatters in my chest. 

"I miss you dad...."
