This is the shortest add ever! But I didn't want to include what happens in the next chapter in this chapter (I think that makes sense..) so this is all you're getting for now ;)
Don't own McFly, as I've told you countless times before. You should really get the point!
The skate park was pretty amazing. It was much bigger than the one back in Essex and it was packed with people. Kelly, Jordan and Lilly introduced me to some people who were cool, and it was great just to chill. I didn't get much time to just hang out after my mother's death, with all the grieving, and coming to terms with the fact that my dad had no idea I existed, so it was nice to be normal.
"So, how're you finding London so far?" Lilly sat next to me, seated on the top of a ramp. She looked so different to Kelly, which puzzled me, because girls who were friends usually looked like clones of each other. Unlike Kelly, she wore nearly no make up at all, and had light brown, wavy hair and light blue/grey eyes and she had a small frame.
"Alright." I mumbled, shrugging.
"Look, I don't mean to pry... but why did you move here?" she asked softly. I sighed, I knew I'd have to answer that question eventually, and I might as well answer truthfully.
"My mum died." I said quietly, and the next thing you know I was being hugged.
"I'm so sorry." she murmured.
"It's ok. She had cancer for ages... and I'd rather know she feels no more pain than to see her suffer everyday." I admitted.
Lilly let me go and looked me in the eye.
"It's ok to be sad, Liam." she said.
"I know." I shrugged, "But I'm not. I mean, my mother's death is awful, but the last thing she told me was to always concentrate on the bright things, and that's what I'm doing."
"So you've moved in with your dad... Dougie Poynter?"
"Yeah, he's cool." I smiled. It was weird, the relationship I had with my dad. He was more like a mate than an authority figure.
"I'd imagine." she grinned, "You're lucky he's not the one I fancy, or I'd be very awkward right now, seeing that you're the spitting image of him."
"So you've got the hots for Judd, aye?" I smirked.
"Maybe..." she blushed a bright red.
"Ah, you've got it for a married man." I sighed dramatically.
"Shut up!" she laughed, pushing my shoulder lightly.
"Make me!" I teased and slid down the ramp.
"Oh, it's on, Sanders!" she laughed and ran after me around the skate park. Eventually I came to a dead end, and was trapped.
"Shit!" I muttered.
"Ha! Got ya now!" she laughed.
"What are you going to do to me then?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Umm..." she pretended to think, before catching me off guard and stole my beloved hat.
"Oi!" I exclaimed, and then it was my turn to run after her. Lucky to me, she wasn't very quick, and I caught up with her in no time. I grabbed her arm and yanked her to a stop and snatched the hat from her grip.
"I win." I smirked.
"No fair." she pouted.
"Oh, but it was." I laughed, letting go of her arm.
"Oi! Are you two done flirting? We're here as well, you know!" we looked over to where Kelly was leaning against a fence with Jordan, and a cigarette in her hands. I rolled my eyes.
"Come on, they'll be calling us a couple if we don't go there now." Lilly shook her head.
"What? A girl and a boy can't be friends." I laughed.
"No, not in their book. They're either couples or 'frenemies'. Bull if you ask me." Lilly rolled her eyes.
We neared Kelly and Jordan who were smirking at us.
"You guys are unbelievable." Lilly laughed.
"That's why you love us." Jordan winked.
"Love, yeah, sure." Lilly rolled her eyes.
"Want one?" Kelly offered her cigarettes.
"You know I don't smoke." Lilly frowned.
"I wasn't offering to you." Kelly stuck her tongue out at her.
"Uh... no, I don't smoke... not since my mother told me she had lung cancer." I shuffled my feet, looking at the floor.
"Oh, shit, dude. I'm sorry." Kelly apologised.
"It's alright, she's in a better place now." I shrugged.
"What, she died?" Jordan asked stupidly, and Kelly elbowed him in the ribs.
"You idiot!" she hissed at him.
"Yeah, a few weeks ago. That's why I've moved in with my dad." I explained.
"Oh," they didn't know what to say, and I didn't blame them.
"Let's go annoy Harris!" for once, Jordan was useful.
