Chapter 11 part 1 Matthew to Gavin Name Change
As the day before events was still on Matthew's mind that his mum came to the village he and Nathan was busy re paint and decorating the Dog In The Pond after the fire
The both lads were having a natter whilst paint then Ellie later came in
"Haven't you two lads done yet" Ellie asked
"No we need to finish the bar area, the kitchen is finished as well as upstairs so this is the last painting we need to do" Matthew and Nathan both replied
"Babe can I have a word with you upstairs please" Ellie asked again
"Ermm sure babe" Matthew answered
"Nath you can do a bit on your own for a bit can't you" Matthew asked
"Yeah sure, don't keep my sister waiting you know what she's like" Nathan said
As Matthew followed Ellie upstairs Nathan carries on painting
"What's up then babe" Matthew questioned
"Sit down babe, it's about yesterday" Ellie answered
"Oh about my mother turning up, I'm sorry babe" Matthew replied
"Yeah part of that, your middle name is Matthew so why do you answer to Matthew" Ellie also questioned
"I know, it was when I was back at college my friends started to call me Matthew and it kind of stuck" Matthew replied
"Oh I see, I kind of like the name Gavin though" Ellie said
"Well called me Gavin then babe" Matthew replied
Author's Mini Note: This is now when Matthew will be called his real name Gavin from now on
Later down stairs Nathan was still painting and Holly came in to the Dog and cuddled Nathan
"Hey Nath" Holly said
"Hey Holly, what are you doing here" Nathan replied
Nathan and Holly kissed unknowingly still it was in fact Holly that was driving the car that killed Rachel not Cleo plus he still believes that Rachel had cheated on him due to Marnie's lies
A couple of minutes later Gavin and Ellie came back downstairs and saw Nathan and Holly kissing but Gavin was shocked to see
"I thought Nathan was still grieving over Rachel babe" whispered Gavin
Ellie didn't reply because she is still feeling guilty due to the lie about Rachel
Holly then later left, shortly after Ellie kissed Gavin and left the Dog so Gavin and Nathan carried on painting for a while
At the time Nathan and Gavin were painting for over 2 hours now, they were both starving so Gavin suggested that he will go to the tug boat to get 2 burger and chips for the both them
"Here that Gav" Nathan asked due to his stomach rumbled
"Yes Nath, how about I go and get 2 burgers and chips from the tug boat" suggested Gavin
"Great idea mate" Nathan replied
Gavin left to go to the tug boat.
At the tug boat he repeated there order to Zack
"Yeah Gav, what would you like" Zack asked now that the whole village has heard that Matthew is Gavin's middle name
"2 burgers and 2 chips please Zack" ordered Gavin
"Coming up mate" Zack added
Gavin took a seat waiting for the order when he saw Jade and Alfie on their date
"Hey Gavin" Alfie and Jade both said
"Oh hey you two, you on a date then" Gavin asked
"Yes we are, but please Gavin if you see Frankie please don't say that you saw us together" Jade asked in a scared way
"Jade, you know me if I see her I'll say that I haven't saw you, now enjoy your cute date" Gavin added
After about 15 minutes Gavin's order was ready
"2 burgers, 2 chips" Zack shouted out the order
"That's me" Gavin said
Gavin went to collect his order then walked back to the Dog but later had a text from Nathan
From Nathan...
To Gavin...
Gav please go to Price Slice and get a couple of beers if you can.
Gavin later replied
From Gavin...
To Nathan...
Sure Nath
After putting his phone back into his pocket Gavin walked into the village to Price Slice to get a couple of beers for himself and Nathan as The Dog has no alcohol yet
Gavin goes the th shelf with all the alcohol on and picks up to 2 of 4 cans of beers and goes to pay
"That will be £5.40 please Gavin" Simone asked
"There you go Simone" Gavin said and handing Simone the money
"Thank you" Simone said
Gavin picks up the beers and heads back to the Dog
The later bumps into his two sisters Maya and Alice both coming home from work and school
"Hey you two" Gavin asked
"Hey bro, we hear mother's in town" Alice and Maya reply
"Yeah sadly, you both know I don't get on with mother" Gavin said
"Matty why do you hate mum" Maya asked
"It's not Matthew or Matty now you both know it's my middle name, it's Gavin from now on and Maya you don't know what mum is actually like" Gavin added
"Well tell me then" Maya asked
"Alice you tell her please" Gavin replied
"Ok bro" Alice added
"I really should be getting back to the Dog these burgers and chips will get cold" Gavin said
"Ok bye bro" Alice and Maya replied
"Bye sis and bye sis" Gavin added
Gavin and Alice went there separate ways with Maya following Alice so she could tell Maya what their mum Elizabeth is actually like
While Gavin arrived back at the Dog Nathan was sitting on a tool waiting for his burger and chips
And the lads sat down and ate their burgers and chips
