Beastie Boys and Beanie Hats

by FishFingeresAndCustard11

When a car breaks down outside Haley's flat in Leicester, she goes out to help the poor guy. But what Haley doesn't realise is that he's sort of famous. And she sort of knows who he is.

Preface

How do you find the implacable moment when your life changes? Lives are fluid, and in a permanent state of constance; the moment you live in, in every single detail, seems from your perspective to have always been how things are, even if you know this is definitely not the case. There are, however, two things that show it when reminiscing: one is events, like changing a school year, starting or graduating university, a break up, moving out or moving out, and the other is the people.

People will move in and out of your life, growing closer or apart, tied together by circumstance or emotion and then severed when the bonds break. They change nearly everything about you - they mark your physique, your personality, your mentality and leave things behind in a way nothing else can.

Going, then, by the rules that people and events change your life and show them to you with clarity, I can tell you exactly when my life was thrown around, turned inside-out, upside-down and super glued that way for good measure.

And all if this has to do with a certain car with a certain man inside choosing to break down in front of a certain block of flats in Leicester...
