~~The Next Morning~~

I get up and go downstairs. I get out a bowl and put some coco pops in it. I walk into the sitting room and see Thom. I sit down and eat my coco pops. "Are we going to talk about this?" he says to me. I shake my head. "There's nothing to talk about." He turns to me. "There is." I shake my head, he finishes his coco pops and I take the bowl from him. "No, there isn't" I say and walk into the kitchen. I clean the bowls and walk back in. "I better go get ready." He nods. "Yeah, I'm sure A&E is on a slow when it comes to teenage boys today." I turn back round to him and sit down beside him. "You want to talk about this, fine, we'll talk."

"This is the closest I've been to a relationship since I was 13 years old, so I am sorry, if I am not prepared to put a label on something that will probably fizzle out within a few weeks." He nods. "The last relationship I was in, got me hooked on heroin. Even thinking about a relationship scares the hell out of me." I nod. "Then why did you say that to me last night?" He shakes his head. "As much as it might scare me, it doesn't mean I don't want to be in one." I nod at him. "I don't like labels." He nods at me. I hold his hand. "I don't want arguing to result in you drinking. I don't care if you have one every night, but as soon as I moved away from you last night, you took a beer from Jaidan." He nods at me. I move towards him and he smiles at me, the closer I go to him, the more he lies back. I kiss him and he puts his hand on my back.

I smile at him and we start making out. I put my hand on his side and he raises his to my cheek. Nobody has ever done that before, it's like he sees me for me, instead of just some girl that by next week, he will have forgotten about. He lets go of me and we move back upright again. He kisses me, properly, like in the movies, he puts his hand on my cheek and doesn't try to swallow me; No intended innuendo. His phone bleeps and he lets go of me. "Jaidan is upstairs dying of a hangover and wants us to bring her coffee." I smile at him and get up.

I put on the kettle and wait on it to boil. I text Courtney

TO: Courtney

Hey How Are You Feeling After Last Night? Ax

Send. I pour it in the cup and walk upstairs. I hand it to her. "Morning." She looks at me. "I am so sick." I nod at her and walk back downstairs to Thom. "Get changed." I stare at him. He doesn't look me in the eye. I walk back out and put on my clothes, I walk out my door and see Thom in a suit. "What's going on?" he walks downstairs and I follow him. We get in the car. "Where are we going?" he hands me a pair of slim line sunglasses. "We have to surround the senator's house." I stare at him. "Why?" He looks at me. "Someone tried to break in." I nod at him and we get out. We put on the sunglasses and walk towards Michael. "Who was it?" Thom stares at Michael, he hands over photographs to Thom, and to me. I stare at the face. "Do you have a name?" Michael shakes his head. A tear rolls down my cheek. "Vladimir, Vladimir Putschfinktch." Thom and Michael stare at me. "Are you sure?" I nod at Michael. Thom looks at me through his glasses.
