Woo next chapter here! thanks for the reviews since the last chapter i'm hearing from new people all the time which i love XD

a few of you have made comments about Robbie ruining things with Dave so I thought I'd clear that up... unlike most people, i really like Robbie's character but NOT as a love-interest for Gee. So his input in this story is more of a brotherly-type role that I think Gee needs.

I hope that puts some of your minds at ease without ruining the story plot line XD

horns out ;)

"State of Sheer Confusiosity"

Then this weird thing happened. Dave held out his hand (for me to shake?) and said, "Hi. Are you Georgia?"

He's cracked. Dave's gone crazy...

Dave's coming back over. Pleaseeee don't make me do anymore dancing.

"Georgia, are you walking to the night bus stop?"

Ok that is so weirdly familiar and déjà vu-ish. I swear he's said that to me at some point before...

"I know what he's doing!" I shouted suddenly causing Miss Jazzy to jump backwards in a slight spaz. I carried on, "He's acting out exactly what happened when we first met!!"

"That is so cute," Jas said. Excuse me? "I can't believe he remembers the first night you met. That's adorable. I bet you don't remember half of what he does. Well without be reminded that is."...

25 minutes later

In bed. I can't believe what Dave's doing. It's... weird.

Sunday January 8th

11.45am

In my room. Looking outside at Mr and Mrs Next Door trying to round up Gordy. Ha good luck. Pretty soon he'll call in reinforcements from Super Cat Angus then they'll be in real trouble.

Serves them right. It should be a crime to allow an arse to get that big. Mr Next Door's I mean, not Gordy's. Big G would be ashamed. He did not do all that creating to have people like Mr Next Door ruin his good work. But then I suppose he's allowed a few mistakes.

Just look at my Vati.

Speaking of, I think he must have painted himself to the wall right about now. He's decided to take this weekend to 'decorate' Libby's room. Mutti tried to hire a professional but Vati insisted he could do it. Ha! I sense another collapsing shed scenario coming on. Oh yes yes.

1 minute later

Libby is staying in my room for the time being. What joys unbounded. All her stuff was moved into my room yesterday and I mean all her stuff. She has tonnes! I can barely stand up it's so cramped in here. Mutti and Vati think that it's good and that I should learn to 'share'. What bollocks.

Oh and then they gave me the whole "back in my day" speech. Right, like I haven't heard that before. Did you know that when my Vati was young he was lucky if he got his own shoes? Blah blah blah...

Like I care.

30 seconds later

But I DO care about getting woken up in the middle of the night by a noisy not-so-little child who decided it would be fun to play "dress Georgia up" because she couldn't sleep. That was soooo fun. Not.

1.30pm

Eating a lovely nutritious lunch of toast. Yum. Ha.

5 minutes later

Phone rang and as usual no one could be bothered to answer it so I had to get up and walk all the way to the hall. Some people just have no considerate for others.

"Hello, you've rang the house of the not-so-handy Vati who is soon going to be destroying everything. Please put the phone down slowly and you won't be harmed."

"Georgia what are you talking about?"

"Jas?"

"NO FOOL!"

"Rosie?"

"No it's Jas."

"Huh?"

"Come outside!"

"Mabs?"

"It's Jools."

"WHATTTTT?!"

I can hear a bit... no a lot of kafuffle...

5 seconds later

"Ok it's me." Someone said.

"And who is that?" My head hurts.

"Jas." Oh fab. Not.

"Well what do you all want?"

"We're in the phone box opposite. You need to come out we're all going to Ellen's to see Liam."

I groaned. "All of us at once? Isn't that a bit of an overload... I mean I don't think he should even be allowed to see Rosie until at least a year."

"Oh and it's not just us," Jas rambled on completely ignoring me, "The lads are coming as well."

"Everyone?!" What is this - an ambush?! I feel sorry for the poor boy. "Even Sven?"

"Yep." Oh good lord.

I am so not going.

30 minutes later

Walking down to Ellen's with everyone. And I mean everyone. I can't even talk to Dave because I am sandwiched between Sven and Jas. And trust me, that is soooo not a good place to be. On one side I've got a conversation about Voles and things and on the other a conversation about... something I can't understand. Great.

2 seconds later

I may die of boredom.

Or Sven might Sweedish-me to death. Whatever that is.

2.15pm

In Ellen's lounge. She's looking rather twitchy. Like more than normal I mean, no matter how hard that is. I think she's nervous about us all meeting Liam.

Or it's just a normal day. I wouldn't be surprised.

5 seconds later

Everyone else is excited though. But in fairness we have waited ages to meet him. Not that I'm bothered. But he has become like a celebrity. I wouldn't be surprised if Mabs and Jools jumped on him as soon as he came in. They have no pride.

Although I doubt Ed and Rollo would be happy.

30 seconds later

I bet he's really shy. What with his parents kind of... well... err, not being here anymore. Ellen mentioned (I say mentioned – it took her a bloody hour to say) that he's really close to her mum – his aunt. Probably cos she was there through the whole... accident fandango.

5 minutes later

"Ellen where's Liam?" Jas asked. She's sitting up looking all perky with Tom. Probably ready to pounce on Liam and force him to join the rambling society. They like doing that – flushing people's hopes of a normal teenage life down the bog. I think their motto is "who needs friends when you can have frogs?"

Yeah... just what I was thinking...

3 seconds later

"Err well..." oh Lord Sandra here we go. Better get comfy. "He err, went out with... err, my mum."

Jas smiled her 'understanding' smile which makes you feel like she's thinking about eating your head. "Okay, will they be back soon?"

Ellen nodded and Jas said, "Wonderful."

Ooo is it wonderful Jazzy Spazzy? Spiffing and all that jazz? Hahahaha.

2 minutes later

We just all heard the door go. Everyone turned their heads at once, staring at Ellen. And after about 5 zillion seconds she took the cue and said, "Err... I'll err go get him."

5 seconds later

Jas is twiddling her thumbs in an annoying way. I said, "Stop it."

She said, "No."

I said, "Yes."

"No."

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"OWW!"

Ha I biffed her.

10 seconds later

Oh. My. Sandra. Ellen has re-entered. With him. Liam. L. I. A. M. He looks about 20!! How old did Ellen say he was? 17? She must have got it wrong. So wrong.

Or maybe he just aged after the accident etc...

Corr and phwarrr and corrrr some more! He's got longish blonde hair and electric blue eyes. There's so... so... dazzling. Oh lord I did not just say that.

He looks a bit like John Smith from Pocahontas... hmm...

1 second later

Oh my giddy god what's happened me I can't stop looking at him! It's like he's some sort of mind zapper and isn't letting me think properly.

Wait, when do I ever think properly? It's like I've got jelloid brain all over again and-

"Can I help you?" A voice said and I snapped out of my phwarrr land to see that pretty much everyone else (well all us girls) had that same expression on our faces: corrrr blimey.

"What's the matter? Are you all brain dead? That's your cue to stop staring idiots."

Huh? Did Liam just say that? That is so not the dreamy god-like voice that it should be. In fact it'ss horrible and rude and mean and-

Christ on Bike that cannot be Ellen's cousin. He's like her complete opposite!

But hell all mighty he's like bloody Draco Malfoy!

1 second later

Maybe he is Draco Malfoy. Weirder things have happened. Jas has gone into pouting mode. She sort of shook herself then stood up and held out her hand to Liam. Oh no. It's the 'welcome to the loony ramblers club' meet and greet.

"Sorry err, Liam. We're just all excited to finally meet you."

She's apologises to him?! He just called her an idiot! He called us all idiots!

2 seconds later

He sort of glared at her hand then snorted (and not in an attractive way) "Well done, you know my name. Now why don't you run along and leave my house."

I frowned. Well all did. This god of sorts isn't turning out to be very nice. This isn't even his house! Maybe if he just shuts his mouth I can get back to my dream...

1 second later

No bad red bottom!! Away! Away!

5 seconds later

Jas ha sort of slid back onto the sofa next to Tom like a scared little mouse. And Hunky's not looking too cheery himself.

Liam is still staring at us all like we're... like we're... Uncle Eddie or something. Only worse.

And then Sven spoke. Oh in the name of Miss Stamp's moustache...

He said, "Lizzzamz ve velcome you herez yaaaa."

Oh god. Breath. Everyone breath.

Liam looked around at us all then turned to Sven before saying, "You fucking kidding me mate?"

3 seconds later

I think Rosie has just bit through her tongue in order to stop herself kicking the crap out of Liam. Wow, she really does have self restraint. If only she would show some when snogging Sven in public. That would do us all a world of good.

I turned across to look at Dave.

He's grinning! Like smirking to himself! I hope Liam doesn't notice or it'll no doubt be fistcuffs again for Dave. I tried to do a bit of eyebrow wiggling and eye bobbing to give him the message to quit looking so happy.

It didn't work. He just said, "Something in your eye Georgia?"

Oh bugger shit and merde. Now Liam is looking at me. I thought about smiling but the niceness-card didn't work out too well for Jas so I just kind of looked back in a looking way.

And he just stared back.

15 seconds later

My eyes have started to water but I can't pull away first.

Ow ow and thrice ow - it stings!!!!!!

2 seconds later

Oh thank Big G he looked away onto Dave. Phew.

"What's funny?" Liam asked. Or rather sneered. Lovely. Not.

Dave shrugged casually and carried on grinning. Idiot. "Nout at all mate, just enjoying the view." He said then winked at Liam and gave a very meaningful nod towards me. Oh no oh no Dave's going to be the death of me. Liam's going to kill Dave. And me. Both of us. Dead. Deaded as a dead thing in dead land on-

1 second later

Hold on a lederhosen minute. Liam isn't moving. And not frowning anymore.

20 seconds later

The weirdest thing just happened. Liam gave Dave that little head nod thing. You know like when you're agreeing with something but are too lazy to talk so you like lift your head a bit. Well he did that! To Dave! About me! And he smirked a bit! Maybe he's alright-

5 seconds later

Oh no I was wrong; it's back to frown-town for Liam. He kind of grunted at Ellen and said, "I'm going up. Tell your little friends to clear off will you."

Hmmm I think that was more of an order myself...

10 minutes later

Walking home with everyone.

Jas said, "Well, err... that went ok."

Rosie biffed her on the head bang on cue as I said, "It was a bloody disaster Jas."

Jools said, "Yeah seems Liam's a total nut-job."

Everyone agreed except Dave. We all looked at him with eyebrows raised waiting for him to answer. He shrugged a bit and said, "He's not that bad."

I stared at him like he'd gone mad. Which clearly he has.

"It's just that..." Dave started, "Well you can hardly blame him. With what's happened and all."

We all stayed silent then for a while until Mabs piped up, "Doesn't mean he has to be so horrible though."

We all murmured in agreement quietly then Dave stopped still and went all defensive like. "Actually I think it does. It's just his way of dealing with it ok? Do any of you know what it's like? No, so why don't you lay off Liam and stop judging him alright?"

We all stared at Dave. I can't believe he just said that.

He's looking vair vair shifty and a tad angry. Maybe he's thinking about the car crash and it's his way of saying... err, that he's not over it?

Come to think of it, I don't think he's talked to anyone about that, well not that I know of. And he must remember everything now, I never realised... maybe I should offer to talk to him about it... or is that weird?

11.00pm

In bed thinking about what happened today. Dave didn't say anything else after his little outburst. He just left. I'm a wee bit afraid to ring him as well so I'll wait till he settles down a bit to call.

All the excitement over Liam has ended quickly. We didn't mention him for the rest of the walk home. I want to understand what Dave said but... but Liam was like the bummer twins at their peak. Worse even.

I never want to see him again.

Monday January 9th

Vati is destroying Libby's room and so my life. I'm surprised he hasn't knocked down a wall or something yet. He's painted one wall peach but then spilt a bit of black in the pot so the next wall is a moldy browny grimy colour.

I walked in, looked at it and burst out laughing like a loon. Vati was not impressed. He huffed and puffed and all that... which made me laugh even more.

Then Vati threw the paint brush at me.

Tuesday January 10th

8.35am

Walking to Stalag 14 with Jas. I am on time for once. Wow.

Jas didn't even notice of course. She is so self involved.

I said, "Me and Dave have a date tonight. Seven o'clock. In the park." I raised my eyebrows as Jas, "Sound familiar?!"

She looks bored. Charming. "Georgia just because I pay attention to my own relationship doesn't mean I have to remember every detail of yours."

So much for Jazzy's support. I think I shall have to ignorez-vous her for a bit to put her in her place.

6.48pm

About to meet Dave in the park. I didn't talk to Jas for the rest of the day, even when she kept asking me stuff in class. I just looked at her pointedly then turned away sighing dramatically. She got really annoyed haha. Serves her right.

I decided to amuse Dave and his little "plan" of starting again by wearing the same outfit as I did on this date last time. Otherwise known as the only other time it happened... until now.

I had to look back in my diary to check what I wore... but the intention of remembering is there so I should get points for trying right Big G?

It's not my fault I have the memory of a sieve.

1 minute later

Anyway I'm wearing my "casual glamour" outfit of a leather jacket, jeans and a leopard-skin top.

25 minutes later

When I saw Dave he said "Hi gorgeous," and I grinned like a loon. How sophis... not. We talked for what seemed like ages but not really about anything. He told me he wanted to be a stand-up comedian though. Yeah right, like I haven't heard that one before.

I said "Dave, I know you're doing all this..." I waved my arm around at us, "But it doesn't have to go exactly the same does it? I mean, I don't have to use you as a red-herring or hurt my botty playing hockey do I?" Which I thought was quite high on the hilariosity scale but Dave just looked at me like I'd spoken a foreign language. Which I didn't. I think...

He smiled and said, "This is nice."

I was rather baffled so just said, "Erm... yeah, yeah it is."

So that answers my question...

10 minutes later

Dave grabbed my hand a bit ago so now we're just walking along. But no one's talking it's kinda awkward.

I said after a bit, "Dave, maybe... do you want to talk about the...erm, the accident?"

I felt Dave's hand tense in mind but then he fake-laughed and said, "What accident? I don't know about any accident."

I frowned, "Err the car crash..."

He said, "You mean the car crash that hasn't happened because we are starting again?"

That got me. "Err... well... I guess...but..."

"But nothing." Dave said, "So do you have any brothers or sisters? Tell me about your family?"

Oh come on this is ridiculous.

I snapped then and grabbed Dave's arm pulling him round to face me. "You know about my family Dave. They are crazy and madder than Big G in a hula skirt so stop asking questions you already know the answers too."

But he just gave a small smile and said, "But I don't know. This is our first date."

I huffed and was about to argue when Dave carried on, "But I do know one thing."

I raised my eyebrows in an annoyed way. "What?"

He grinned, "I want to do this."

And then he snogged me! Right there in the middle of the park! It was sooooo good! I completely forgot that I was mad because I quickly acquired jelloid brain.

And he NIBBLED my lower lip!! It wasn't quite enough to be classed as official nip libbing but it's getting there!

5 minutes later

Phwarrrrr.

In my room

11.00pm

I'm in a state of sheer confusiosity.

On the one hand, I'm happier than a happy thing that me and Dave are back together and I guess it's good that we are "overlooking" all our... mistakes (rather a lot for me) and stuff that's happened in the past.

But talking with Dave tonight and him asking me all these questions about my life that he already knew just felt weird. It's like I can't talk to him about anything new because first we have to cover all the old stuff that apparently we don't know yet. Like I said: weird.

I would ring Jas but I am ignorez-vousing her so I can't.

I have my pride.

2 minutes later

Ringing Jas. She'd better answer.

"Hello?"

"Jas, it's me."

"Who?"

"GEORGIA!"

"Okay okay don't shout at me. What do you want? Do you know what time it is?"

Do I care?

"Jas?" I said.

"Yes?"

"Please shut up I'm in the middle of a crisis here."

Pause.

10 seconds later

"Alright Georgia make it quick."

That's nice isn't it? No "take your time Georgia your worries are my worries since you are my bestest ever pally". Just "make it quick." Charming. I should ignorez-vous her again.

"It's me and Dave." I said and Jas sighed all dramatic like.

"What have you done now Georgia?"

What?! "No!" I said, "I haven't done anything. It's Dave."

"Okay..." she said in a way that I know she doesn't actually believe me. "What did hedo?"

"He... he..." What did he do? "Well... well he... he's pretending like we've never met before."

"Yes I know. I thought you were really excited about that? Jas said.

"Err... well..." Was I?

"Georgia I haven't got all night." I think I'll ignore that vair rude comment.

"I don't think I like it anymore."

She sighed again, "You're just not getting any snogging are you? I knew you only care about that."

"No!" I shouted "I mean yes! But no!" Ok I'm confusing myself. Let me try again: "We are snogging. And it's fabbity fab thank you very much. But that's not the problem. It's the talking..."

"The talking?"

"Yes the talking ok. Not everyone is satisfied spending their day talking about worms and watching Lives of Bugs." Well not normal people anyway...

"It's Bug's Life Georgia," Jas said, "and you don't have to talk about that. I bet there's loads of things that you and Dave like."

I said, "There is. But Dave won't talk about any of that because he just keeps talking like we don't know each other. But we do..."

"So tell him that." She isn't even bothering to sound interested. I can practically hear her chewing her fringe.

"Err Jas I think he knows. He's not stupid. He's just... erm..."

"In denial?"

"Yeah!" I said.

I heard Jas yawn. Lovely. She said "So just tell him you don't like it."

Hmm... I suppose that could work. Plus, I can always blame Jazzy Spazzy then if it doesn't.

"Ok," I said, "I will."

"So we're done?"

Oh sure now she's all happy and jolly. I said "Yes."

"Great!" Jas said. "Goodnight Georgia. See you tomorrow."

I nodded. Then realised she couldn't see so said, "Right. Ok. Thanks Jazzy. Now tell me you love me." Haha.

"What? Georgia I want to go to bed."

"You can. After you tell me you love me."

"Why?"

"Because I'm your bestest pally."

"Then can I go to bed?"

"Sure."

"Fine. I... I love you."

I said, "Aww that's, that's lovely Jas but-" hmm... this is where I should say, "night lessie"... or "that's great but I don't swing that way"... but... but instead I just said, "Love you too Jas, night."

1 minute later

What the hell just happened? I'm taking my relationship with Dave by the horns and sorting it out and passing up a chance to torture Jas?

I must be growing up.

30 seconds later

Well, I suppose it had to happen sometime.

So... what do you think of Liam??

And what do you think of Gee's views concerning Dave etc. ??

And do you think it's right of Dave to stick up for Liam??

can't wait to hear from you all...

horns out ;)
