Chapter 3. Madonna.

A/N:- If you wish to read how Mads came to the HeartBreak, Please read my story 'Let's Go Home'. Thankyou.

Around a year later, my dad told us all that a family were coming to join us from the east somewhere. There were four of them. A couple and two kids. Meat had just turned 17 a week before the new arrivals were due to arrive. I wasn't there when they were found. But at 8, I was old enough to know that it wasn't good news when only one of the four turned up, being carried by Charlotte. They were covered in a black substance that Meat explained to me to be soot from a fire. She told us her name was Madonna.

As Charlotte had told Madonna we had to switch Heartbreaks. The attack on Madonna's family that got them killed, we were not safe where we were.

On the way to the new Heartbreak, I tried to get to know Madonna along with Meat, but the fact she'd just lost her family, made her very withdrawn. We did get through eventually, but she didn't talk very much. She also tended to stick close to Charlotte for comfort. The way I did Brit, but somehow different.

After a few weeks at the new Heartbreak, Madonna started to come out of her shell. She seemed to have an eye for Charlotte. Both Meat and me noticed this. For example, if someone moved something and she couldn't find it. She was kinda pissed off. But if that someone happened to be Charlotte, she just brushed it off. And quite often it was Charlotte, due to the fact she had allowed Madonna to share a room with her.

They were in most ways complete oposites.

Charlotte was loud and a pain in the arse when she wanted to be, but Madonna was quiet and kind whenever she wasn't pissed off. Charlotte was in no way a lightwieght when it came to drinking and could drink many of the guys under the table, Madonna, was tipsy after a couple of pints.

Being the youngest bohemian in the Heartbreak had it's advantages. I was quite small aswell, so that meant I was able to fit in the larger airvents, and was quite good at spying on people. That's how I found out Madds liked Charlotte. As in like liked. All of the Heartbreak residents knew that Charlotte herself was a lesbian but recovering from an break-up, quite a while back.

A few years ago there was a new-comer to the Heartbreak. She was a confused Ga Ga girl. Charlotte fell head over heels for her. Ofcourse, when she brooke up with her to go back to her family, it meant we had to move and Charlotte had a broken heart. She still hadn't fully gotten over Lucy. Or she had changed her name to LuLu. But that was past.

But when I was crawling past their bedroom, the pair were arguing, well I think they were. I never really decided whether they were or not.

"What is it Madonna? Why are you acting wierdly around me all the time?" Charlotte had shouted.

"I don't think I wanna talk about it." Came the reply. Madonna didn't shout.

"Well I wnat to know!" Charlotte was getting pretty pissed off now.

"I like you OK?" Madonna cried aloud. "I like you, not just some crush either. I like you like you."

Charlotte was silent for a while. And Madds made no atempt to talk. Madonna sank to her matress and started crying. I felt sorry for her, she was only 14.

Charlotte went to comfort her, but Madds shrugged her off. "I don't want your pity." She mumbled.

"Madds, i'm sorry. It's just, i'm not fully over my ex. She broke my heart. She was a confused Ga Ga. But it still hurt. Please understand."

"I understand. I'm sorry. I can change rooms if you want."

"No, please stay. Maybe in time."

"Thanks Char."

"It's OK kid." The pair hugged and I stopped watching.

Pretty soon after that Char had gotten pretty drunk, and around that time Madonna's flirting was kinda, alot. She really pissed her off and Charlotte told her, she would "'I'll ram them feeling up ya arse'" meaning Madonna's.

They did eventually get together though. But they still went carefully, so they didn't hurt one and other emotionally or physically. Me and Meat were really pleased when they did. We even won a bet against Brit over it. He wasn't pleased. The bet was that whoever lost, wasn't allowed to drink for a week. Out of the pair of them ofcourse. I was still too young for alcohol. Although I still had a sneaky sip every now and then.

Hope you enjoyed that chapter. If you wish to read my fic on how they got together, please read, 'Threat or Promise'. Thankyou. xx
