NOTE: This is my first story Ive written so it may not, probably won't be as good as other stories you have read. Please don't be too harsh, I know I probably need to improve. By the way if you do end up enjoying it tell me so I know if its worth putting in a second chapter, which I will make better from the reviews...if I get any. Thanks : )!

Chapter 1

Polly ran home. Rain streaking down her face despite the fact she wore a hat. It wasn't particularly her favorite but it would have to do.

"I am NOT in the mood for this." she muttered under her breath as a bright flash, presumably car headlights, blinded her momentarily. Her day had been nothing but... there was no other way to state it...hell. Sales had gone down, thanks to the last two shots she wasted on the ground and lens cap Joe's fault of course, he could have at least said something about the lens cap. The article had not been all that good either, You try cramming all that in one article, its impossible. and she knew what awaited her at home. It was her birthday. Sadly she was getting a year older. She shivered, not only from the thought but from the cold too. Polly didn't think it would do her much good ifJoe was there trying to surprise her either. It most likely was a mistake to give the keys after he had pestered her the past week, or so. Then again... She hoped the weather would clear up. Like some, she didn't mind a bit of rain, but two weeks of it could make a person sick, Plus, the weather-men are getting fed up. Glaring at the pavement Polly carried on. Her skin was damp and it wasn't making life much better. Her high-heeled shoes made their classic 'clip-clop' noise.

"Polly!"

She looked up to see...Joe.

"Oh great."

"Where have you been?"

"Work, and then for a walk back home, which just happens to past this street..." she trailed off, spotting Frankie in the distant gloom.

"Cheer up."

Like that's going to happen, she thought, Maybe it would be more interesting if Frankie didn't have to come...EVRYWHERE! And I might 'cheer up' too. Keeping her thoughts to herself, Polly smiled bitterly. Stalking past Joe, and almost bumping into (...you guessed it) Frankie. She carried on trying to keep and look calmer than she felt.

"Polly!"

She carried on, biting her lip. He never understands people. Sometimes he just needs to get things into perspective. Joe says things but never kept his word. Too often in the past two weeks this happens. For once I want to be alone, or just with him. But he always ruins it by saying something stupid, or bringing Dex or Frankie, to where-ever we are. Her throat became uncomfortably tight. Then suddenly Joe caught her arm, panting. Looking down Polly struggled to get out of his grip but he was being stubborn.

"Polly!" he said in an urgent whisper, "What is the matter?"

"Leave me alone Joe. I have more important things to do than to stand on pavement, in the rain, at about 9 on a Friday night, on my birthday, with you."

He stood their silently.

"Can I at least come celebrate your birthday with you?"

"If you want to." She shifted her gaze to the soaking cement on her right. Grinning, Joe held her shoulders at arms length.

"Thanks Polly. Now can you please tell me why you are upset?"

"Never mind."

"Never mind?!" Joe said as though he had never heard something so stupid in his whole life. Despite how she was feeling Polly allowed herself to grin.

"Yes. Now can we please get inside, I think it might be better not to freeze."

"But what is the matter?"

"Joseph," Frankie interjected, before Polly could protest to Joe, "Polly is right."

Stunned Polly walked along trying appear like nothing was on her mind.

Ok...So I know this is terribly short. Im trying to make it longer. Please review if you have the time. It'll really help...trust me Im not being sarcastic.
