B pov
I could not wait Angela was having a party for Jess tonight and it has been forever, I have had so much overtime at work recently that I haven't seen any of my friends in over a month. And tonight was going to be party night.
Renee gave me a lift to Angela's house as I had lots of stuff to take and I couldn't drive, loving these rare moments of me being trapped in the car wear she can moan at me and tell me things about my life that she thinks could be improved. I know that she loves me and she only does it because she thinks I'm wasting myself but god does it ever get annoying.
"Did you cut your hair again" and the nagging begins.
"I just trimmed the ends a bit; you know I hate wasting money on a hairdresser if I'm not having something I can't do myself" This is the third time she's asked me that today.
"You know, it makes you look like a lesbian" well that's a new one.
"And what exactly do lesbians look like mother" I say this as icily as possible because I know that I've got her now. I also have to try and not look smug which is incredibly difficult.
Silence filled the car for several minutes, so I plugged my Zen into the mp3 dock on the dash board. I selected 3 daft monkeys needing their folk melodies to bring calm into the atmosphere.
"I can't believe your just wearing your jeans and a ratty old t-shirt to a party. You know you're never going to find a boyfriend dressed like that!" Like I wasn't expecting that one.
"Mom how many times do I have to tell you that I don't want a boyfriend! When I meet someone I like I'll let you know, but I'm going to settle for some guy who just happens to be at the party." She gives me a quizzical stare like she thinks that I'm desperate to find a boyfriend. I'm sick of this just because she had a child and a husband at a really young age doesn't mean we all do. It's not like i don't want to find Mr. Perfect I do, I just don't want to settle for someone who happens to be here at the current moment in time, just for convenience.
Quiet fills the car and so many fills the car and I get lost in the song. The atmosphere stays pretty much the same until we reach the arboretum.
"Bella where the hell are we going I don't know where I am" Renee shouts at me, I've forgotten that she's never actually taken me to Angela's before. Sorry mom you go straight on right, left straight on right.
We keep travelling and just when Renee is about to have a hissy fit on my arse I see Lauren run across the road.
