CHAPTER 4:
He'd watched Alison leave in the car from the window. She had come upstairs to let him know that she was going to the supermarket. She'd asked if there was anything he wanted before she realised he couldn't answer. She had blushed when she'd realised her error. He'd shaken his head and she'd left the room still blushing.
He was staying up here in his room for now. He didn't want to frighten Cat
He heard a timid knock at the door. There was a pause before she opened it slightly and peered round.
"Sorry, for barging in."
He shrugged to let her know it was OK.
"Mum was really embarrassed about before. She's sorry. I thought these would help." She came into the room, dressed in loose-fitting jeans with a silver buckled belt at her waist, a fitted t-shirt and an unfastened, checked, flannel men's shirt. She held out a pad of lined A4 paper and a couple of black biros. "You can write down what you want to say."
He nearly smiled, but the pain stopped him. He stepped forward and took the pad and the pens from her. He sat down on the bed and opened the pad. He drew a smiley face and wrote –Thanks- before turning the pad round to show her.
"No problem. Would you like a brew?"
-Yes please-
"How'd you take it?"
-Milk. Two sugars. Your mum brings a straw.-
"Yeah, I've seen it. I'll be right back." She smiled and left. Five minutes later she was back with two steaming mugs and a straw. He hadn't moved.
"Here we go." She put one of the mugs on the nightstand next to the bed. She looked around, still holding her mug of tea. "You must be really bored. There's nowt to do in here."
-I like the view-
"It is pretty wicked. You should see it when it snows." She wandered over to the window and looked out.
-How old are you?-
"Fifteen. I'm in the fourth year at school. I've got my GCSE's next year. Mum's already nagging about revision." She sighed.
-Aren't you scared of me?- He thought twice before he turned the pad round. He wasn't sure he wanted the answer.
She shrugged. "You're not an axe murderer right? You're hurt. I don't think you're going to try and jump me or anything. I've never met Uncle Danny so it doesn't mean much to me that you know him, but if Mum thinks it's OK for you to be here then you must be alright."
-Are those the Pennines I can see out of the window?-
She glanced back out of the window. "Sort of. We're on the edge of the Pennines here. That hill facing us is Alphin. There's a legend that there were two giants, Alphin and Alderman. Alderman is over there." She pointed out of the window, to the left. "They both fell in love with the same woman, a nymph called Rimmon. They had a fight, chucked boulders at each other. You can see some of the boulders on the slopes from here. Alphin died in the fight and was buried in that hill. Rimmon threw herself to her death from that ridge over there, where Dovestones Reservoir is."
He walked over to join her out of the window so he could see what she was pointing out to him. She took a step away when he got close.
"Sorry." Another shrug.
He went back for the pad. – I won't hurt you.-
"No offence, but it's just a bit ….. weird." She looked out of the window again before turning back. "I don't mean that you're weird. It's just, it's been just me and mum for years now. It's weird having you in the house." She paused searching for a way to explain. "I'm not used to a man being here."
-Your mum doesn't have a fella?-
"No, thank God! The idea of mum going on dates is creepy." She shuddered. "Don't forget your brew." She gave him a small smile and left him to his tea and the window.
