I some how managed to put the other chapter in by mistake. SO SO SORRY!
Hello! Ill today, so took the advantage of being off school to write. This is sped up a little, and Tracy is on the roof protesting about the closure of Elm Tree...
Hello Missiemill, sorry it was so short, I rarely had time this week :/ and I have no idea about the Bill, I never really watched it! But now I know RW was in it, I may have to look for it too... Haha stalker :P thanks for the review!
"Oh god." Ramona grabbed Liam's arm, and pointed to where Tracy was standing. Lily was climbing onto the roof, grabbing onto the step ladder cautiously. Gina started yelling to her, and ran into the house. Mike stood at the side of the house, calling up to Lily. "Lily! Go back in!" Tracy cried out, and Lily replied, but the wind carried her voice away. She took a few shaky steps and slipped, a small tile falling to the ground. "What the hell is she doing!" said Liam, trying to see the two. Tracy had her arms reached out to Lily, and was talking to her, but Lily looked terrified and wasn't moving. "Lily!" Mike called out, and Lily glanced down. "Go back, you're alright!" Lily looked around to the stepladder, panicked. She stepped forward far too fast, and slipped, falling. "LILY!" Tracy screamed, and tried to catch her, but it was too late. Lily rolled down the roof, and tipped off the rafters, falling in front of Mike onto the gravel. Carmen and Tee started crying, trying to wake up their best friend, but Mike held them back, taking the phone that Frank held out to him. "Cheers," he said, dialling 999. Ramona pulled Tee into a hug, and looked around for Johnny. "Where is he?" she said over Tee's head to Liam. "No idea." She gave Tee a squeeze and Carmen took her hand, going back to see Lily. Carmen was speaking to her, trying to wake her up unsuccessfully. Liam and Frank started pushing away the media and interviewers, telling them in rather blunt terms, to go away. After what felt like weeks, the ambulance came, lifting Lily into the vehicle and a kindly driver attempting to calm down Carmen, Tee and Gina.
Everyone sat in the living room, anxiously waiting for Mike to return from the Hospital with news on Lily. Tracy sat with Gus, who was feverishly checking his watch and continually telling people how many minutes Mike had been away. Sapphire was sitting with Harry, who kept saying things like "She'll be okay, right?" Sapphire simply smiled and gave him a little cuddle.
The door swung open, and Mike stood there. Carmen stood up, and he said "She needs to rest. She'll be okay in around a week." Ramona could feel the tension drop in the room, and she felt Liam relax beside her. "But, this place..." He sighed, and looked around at them all. "Well, we're going to have to find you a temporary home." There was instant uproar.
"What do you mean?"
"Temporary?"
"Not Burnywood!"
"Settle down! It's only for a week or so, and then we'll be back, okay?" Gus started panicking, and Sapphire stood up, arguing with Mike. "Liam, what's Burnywood?" asked Ramona.
He winced, and gestured for Frank and her to follow him.
"Burnywood is the worst care home there is. Worse than worse." Liam rushed around his room, throwing things in a rucksack and others in the bin. "Then why are you packing so fast?"
"Cause I'm not going."
"What?" Frank said, and Ramona added "What's that meant to mean?"
"I'm running away."
"Have you lost your mind? The streets are worse than this Burnywood place," said Ramona.
"No, it's not. Trust me guys, we can't go there. And if you're not coming, then I guess I won't see you for a bit." He grabbed the bag, and put it on his back. "Cheerio!" Liam said brightly, and made for the window. Ramona took ahold of his arm. "You have lost your mind."
"You lived on the streets-"
"I'm coming too obviously." He took a double take. "But-"
"Give me two minutes and I'll have a bag packed. Wait here!" She rushed out of the room, and prayed that Sapphire was still down stairs.
Pushing the door open slightly, she peered round to check her room was empty, before going in. She put on a hoodie and placed an extra in the bag, along with her pointe shoes. She looked for anything else she needed, but to be quite honest with herself, she had very little to take. She did think briefly about looking a state, but then again, she always looked a state. Ramona picked up the bag, and as quietly as she could, she crept back along to Liam's room.
Frank looked a bit sad as he watched Liam and Ramona climb out the window. "We'll see you in a week mate. Don't worry!" Frank nodded, and grinned at the two, waving. His head disappeared from the window and Liam winked at Ramona. "Now shh, and let's go!"
"Don't lecture me about sneaking out, O'Donovan." She gave him a light kiss on the cheek before the two sprinted down the path and out the gate.
"I hate the cold." Ramona sat at the wall of a familiar alley, while Liam looked around for something to sleep on. "Moan."
"Hey, it's in my name." He threw a tin can in her general direction and it hit the wall to the right of her. "Missed by miles, pitiful."
"It's been a while since I've needed to throw a tin can at someone."
"Wow, what an explanation."
"Moanie Mona." She stuck out her tongue, and he gave her the finger. "Bingo!"
"What?"
"Look over here." Ramona stood up, and Liam pointed at an old, worn mattress. "Home sweet home..." Ramona mumbled. "Heh, this is where we first met..." He smiled. "Nice to relive the memory."
"Someone else will be using it."
"Bit of a stupid thing to do, leaving it there..."
"I did it."
"True story." He flung himself onto it, and grinned. "But I don't give a damn." She dropped her bag beside the mattress, and sat down next to him. A small rain drop fell on her head, and she sighed, pulling the hoodie out of her bag. "Double hoodie, sexy look." She elbowed him, and pulled it over her head. "Don't come whinging when you're too cold."
"Sorry Gina."
"Oi!" He put his arm around her, and gently pulled her hair out of the bobble. "I'm not gonna be too cold, I have a hot water bottle named Ramona."
"Oh yes, I forgot." She put her head on his shoulder, and he kissed the top of her head. "Do you have a watch?"
Liam nodded, and lifted his arm from her shoulder a little. "It's ten forty fifty-three."
"Huh, didn't think it was that late," said Ramona, relaxing back into Liam's arms. "Me neither to be honest." He lay down on the mattress, and she lay next to him.
There was silence, and the two faced the skies. "Okay, I admit, I'm bloody freezing." She laughed, and gave him a cuddle, resting her head on his chest, her arms around his back. Liam wrapped her in his own arms and sighed happily. "Human hot water bottle."
Ramona let herself drift in and out of sleep, only waking at Liam's small snores. She was almost fully asleep when a noise from a few feet away jolted her awake. "Liam!" she hissed. "Hm?"
"There's something there." Liam sat up, his arms still around her. The two stared into the pitch black, both waiting for another noise.
Nothing happened. Liam looked round at Ramona, who was furiously staring out into the darkness. "I heard something!"
"I believe you. But it was probably just the wind." She sighed, and had to agree. "Over reacting," she muttered to herself, and turned back over, falling back to sleep.
"Ramona, wake up. Please, up. Now!"
"Meh?" She opened her eyes, and saw Liam inches away from her. "Look! Mona!" She stretched, her back cracking uncomfortably. "What?" He handed her a piece of paper, with scrawled hand writing. "Read it!"
"Kay..." She scanned over it, and recognised the handwriting.
"Ramona and who I assume is Luke O'Donnel or something,
Sleeping together now? That's good. Luke, I'm gonna murder you.
Cole Close."
"Oh no..." She grabbed Liam's hands. "We have to leave, now."
"Why?"
"Because he's got a gang. Who will actually murder you."
"Okay. We'll leave."
"But we have to hide. Like, hide from him, because otherwise we're dead."
"Ramona." He gave her a kiss, looking straight into her eyes. "I'm not gonna let anyone hurt you, love. Never."
So... Liked it?
