Thank you Cookie05 for reviewing

Slightly disappointed by lack of reviews for the last chapter but hey, it's the summer you are all busy away on holiday. I literally only just got back home from holiday (which was brilliant) and now I will write you a chapter.

BTW anyway interested about my future story Born To Run, yeah well it kinda died, so RIP Born To Run but don't worry I now have a new idea.

I stared around my new room, it had been painted black and was plastered with various band posters. "This is your half of the room," Echo growled at me, pointing at the left side of a wooden screen. "I constructed this screen to mark boundaries and privacy. You will not come into my half of the room without my permission and you will not watch me," she commanded.

"Can I put up my own posters?" I asked, Echo sighed and walked over and pulled her posters off my wall. "Fine." I smiled slightly, she turned away disgusted. I walked over to the wardrobe, it was split in half by the screen and started hanging up my clothes while Echo watched.

After a few minutes there was a knock at the door, "piss off," Echo yelled, they knocked again,

"come in," I called, Bryn stuck her head round the door,

"we are going Christmas shopping, we were wondering if you would like to come?" she asked,

"do I look like I care?" Echo asked,

"oi, cutter!" I yelled, "shut your oversized gob, which is like a waterfall but instead of water it is shit, because all you do is put people down and be completely fucking rude and I've been a few days and I've had enough. The way you treat people is disgusting and if you don't shut up I will sort you out," I threatened, after this comment Echo fell strangely silent.

"Yes I would love to come," I told Bryn, she smiled at me and I ran to the wardrobe and pulled out a coat and scarf.

I ran downstairs to be met by Jody, Fort, Jemima, Olly, Georgia, Silas... basically everyone apart from Echo. "Ok kids you have to go round with at least one other person, Tracy will be around and I will be in Costa," Faye, (the head care worker) informed us, we all nodded.

"Now go and have lots of fun and buy lots of presents!"

We ran down to the shops and I ended up with Bryn, Alfie and Silas. "So where first?" Alfie asked,

"well I need to go to Mothercare," I told them,

"are you knocked Immy?" Silas asked jokingly, putting his hand on my stomach.

"Nah but my friend Tee is, she's due in March," I told them,

"Awwh that's nice," Bryn said, "what's her boyfriend like?"

"he died in November," I told them, everyone was silent.

"I also need presents for Johnny and Elektra, but they will be fine. I will buy something for their flat. Something creative for Kitty. Something nice for Shay and Harry, will buy something for Ellie too. I guess I will buy something for everyone else here, except the dickheads," I told them all,

"ok cool," Alfie said.

First of all we visited Mothercare where I bought a packet containing two newborn sleep suits but I left as quickly as possible because Bryn, Alfie and Silas were pretending Bryn was pregnant and they both believed they were the father and they were getting quite angry (both the staff and Alfie and Silas in the acting roles) so we left.

"Charity shops!" Alfie exclaimed,

"what?" Bryn asked,

"cheap presents," he shouted, then he sprinted off and yelled over his shoulder, "come on."

Surprisingly Alfie was correct, in that charity shop I bought Johnny and Elektra a book on marriage, I also found some cheap dresses made out of nice material for Kitty. I knew she would study them then remake them and make them nice. I bought Harry some books and Shay a small beauty set. I bought Ellie a few CDs. I grabbed a magazine with pages on how to be a good boyfriend for Olly, I bought Georgia a notebook for her stories, a few books for Lauren, I bought Jemima a few more notebooks and I bought Gus a notebook and a book titled "how to tell when a girl likes you and romantic ideas."

The next shop we went into was the corned shop and I bought Jody a box of biscuits meanwhile Alfie and Bryn purchased sweets and Bryn flicked through a magazine before putting it back on the shelf. I walked over and picked up the magazine he had put down, "I've read it all," he told me,

"is it good?" I asked, he nodded, it was a guitar magazine. I quickly bought it.

Much to the boys annoyance Bryn and I wanted to go into the makeup store and we had to drag them in, in their I found Carla some eyeliner that wound compliment her unique eyes and I bought Fort some hair gel and Lynx because he was wanting to be all grown up and have a manly odour. Meanwhile Bryn wandered off to the hair dye section, Silas examined hair gel and guyliner and while complaining to Alfie how they were all now more expensive. Verus and Beta I suddenly thought. I quickly grabbed a few small items, I would get them quite a few small items from various shops I decided.

"So what would you girls like for Christmas?" Alfie asked us, Bryn looked at me, I nodded slightly.

"Well I personally want some good tampons, because the ones they buy at home are a bit cheap," Bryn told him, Alfie blushed beetroot red. Silas looked away awkwardly.

"I would like a new bra," I told him, both boys looked so awkward it was hilarious.

"Ok..." Silas said, trying to make it less awkward.

"Size 34C," I told him, pointing at a posh underwear shop.

"WHAT?!" Alfie exclaimed,

"I want a new bra, size 34C, preferably lacy, red or black or both is fine," I told him, Bryn's jaw dropped when she realised what I was going to do.

"But..."

"No buts, just boobs. I want a size 34C bra prompto, bye Alfie,"

"but I can't afford..."

"ok Silas give him money, it can be a joint present," I commanded, Silas handed him the money and Alfie awkwardly approached it and came out bright red 5 minutes clutching a pink bag with the words "bras and thongs for all," on the side,

"there you go," he said, trying to hand me the bag.

"No Alfie, it's not Christmas, you have to carry it for me," I told him, Bryn and Silas were dying of laughter at this point. Alfie sighed and picked the bag up sheepishly, "and Silas you haven't been let off easily, Bryn still wants tampons..."

Silas wasn't laughing any more when he walked out of the shop clutching numerous packets of tampons because they had run out of plastic bags.

"This is not funny," he growled,

"it is though," Bryn told him, he scowled, we laughed.

As time went by many people stopped to stare at Alfie and Silas so Bryn and I walked ahead, "ok Immy and Bryn your turn," Alfie said,

"ok, bring it on like Donkey Kong," I said,

"I want you two to buy me condoms," he told us,

"ok," I said grinning, he looked stunned expecting me to back down or be humiliated, "let's do this shit."

We walked into the shop, "Immy do we have to do this?" Bryn asked,

"relax kid, this is easy," I told her, I walked over to the stand and picked up some of the more embarrassing condoms and bought them for Alfie. "See easy," I told her.

When we emerged grinning from the shop Alfie didn't look pleased but Silas was grinning maliciously, "ok girls I want; a mankini, boxer shorts and one of those calendars," he said pointing at a stand selling calendars which were mainly porn ones, Bryn looked a bit worried.

"Game on."

We went straight down to the market and managed to buy a mankini and pants without too much difficulties so all we had left was a calendar.

"Excuse me can I buy this calendar?" I asked the man behind the counter, he looked me up and down.

"You want this?" he asked incredulously,

"yeah she's a lesbian," Bryn said, I turned to glare at her, the man was giving me evils at this point.

"It's for my friend, he's a guy," I told him,

"ok," he said warily and let me buy it, as soon as we paid for it we ran off back to Alfie and Silas we were triumphant. We had won.

Please review and also I need to start thinking about Tee's baby whether it's a girl/boy/somewhere in between and names. So please tell me in the comments. Thank you please review etc.
