.x. Rach's PoV .x.
"Jess! Hurry up!"
"Jess! RUN!"
"LORRY! JESS! RUN!"
"I AM!"
Jess jumped onto the pavement and started gasping for breath
"That… red… light… was… the… shortest… EVER!"
"What do you expect when you try to moonwalk across a four lane road!"
We carried on walking down the street and Jess, having finally caught her breath started skipping beside Rk
"Where are we going?"
"Home"
"Why?"
"Because we're fed up of you"
Jess tilted her head at Rk like a confused puppy
"So why are we going home?"
…Ok maybe a stupid confused puppy
"So we can lock up in the secret cupboard under the stairs… you the one where Harry Potter hides in? And the one we don't tell anyone about?"
I shook my head… Here we go…
Jess stopped skipping suddenly and her eyes widened
"No…not the secret cupboard…"
Rk nodded slowly, smirking because she knew how the mention of the cupboard affected Jess
"Yes Jess… the… secret… cupboard"
"NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
Jess squealed and latched onto a nearby lamppost and bent her knees so her arms were holding up all her weight
"NOOOO! NOT THE SECRET CUPBOARD! ANYTHING! I'LL BE A GOOD GIRL I SWEAR! JUST DON'T PUT ME IN THE SECRET CUPBOARD!"
We were starting to get weird looks from the passer-by's, but Jack, Will and I carried on walking, leaving Rk to deal with the state she'd got Jess into
"JESS! SHUSH! NO SECRET CUPBOARD HONEST!"
"NUUUUUUUUUUU! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! IF I SHUT UP AND GO HOME… YOU'LL… YOU'LL… PUT ME IN THE SECRET CUPBOARD AND LEAVE ME IN THERE UNTILL YOU REMEMBER IM IN THERE!"
Rk was smiling at a group of old ladies who were walking past Jess giving her a disgraced look
"We're getting her help… she hasn't taken her pills, you know… she's a few malteasers short of a bag"
Jess was still clinging onto the lamppost and still squealing when Rk stamped her foot sharply
"THAT'S IT JESS! IF YOU DON'T LOOSE THAT BLOODY LAMPPOST NOW AND WALK HOME LIKE A BIG GIRL I WILL PERSONALY SEE THAT YOUR SCABBY HAMSTER GETS A FIRST CLASS SEAT IN THE BLENDER!"
We stopped walking and gasped… A few weeks ago we had seen an old woman walking down the street with a shoe box trying to give away this ugly old hamster… any normal person would have been scared by how much of a monster it looked like… so Jess took it home.
"…Squeaky?"
Jess immediately released the lamppost and speed walked in front of us. Rk, pleased with herself, walked past us smirking
"You do realise I just saved the day?"
I smirked back at her
"And you do realise it was you who started it in the first place?"
……………
As we got into the house Jess raced upstairs to her room where the ugly hamster was, the rest of us sat down to watch the TV
I sat down heavily on the sofa and reached for the remote, only to be beaten to it by Jack and Rk grabbing it and racing to the other sofa, I raised and eyebrow and shook my head
"Ha! Beat you!"
Rk stretched out flicking through the channels, I turned to Will who had just sat beside me
"Will?"
"Hmm?"
"Go and get me a drink, please"
He nodded and stood up
"PFFT! Tell her to get it herself!"
Will shook his head
"It's ok"
"Wimp"
He left and Rk lay her head back down
"Today has been great hasn't it? I mean I got the phone number off that cute guy that worked it the candy shop, you got splashed by that car instead of me…"
"That was only because you pulled me in front of you"
"…AND I got the control off you… AND I managed to get Jess to stop her howling and walk all the way home without a sound… AND now there is peace and quiet and not the slightest noise from her…"
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Rk, Jack and I all screwed up our faces at Jess' high-pitched squeal
"…Well at least I got her here quiet"
.x.BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM.x.
Jess came bounding down the stairs and raced into the living room holding a furry bundle in her hand
"WHATS WRONG WITH HER!"
"Jess it's a boy!"
"HOW DO YOU KNOW EH!"
"Because it has… oh never mind"
Jess quickly turned to me holding out her hands, I stood up taking the furry bundle
"Well SHES…"
I prodded the ugly thing with my finger… it was dead.
"Its… ehm… sleeping, Jess"
Jess sighed and nodded slowly
"Oh…Phew… I thought"
Rk stood up and looked into my hands, I moved around trying to hide the dead hamster from her
"Wait a minute… its not sleeping"
Jess' eyes widened and I glared Rk, moving my hands quickly away from her
"…It's meditating Rk!"
Rk grabbed my wrists and started to try and pry the dead fluff ball out of my hands
"Rk! Loose!"
"I'm just checking it!"
"I've already checked it! It's fine! It's meditating!"
We tugged over the hamster until we both pulled with all our force at the same time and our hands flew apart… sending Squeaky hurdling up in the air across the room… Landing at Wills feet as he entered holding a glass of water for me. He looked down and bit his bottom lip looking back up at Jess. Rk cleared her throat.
"Well its defiantly dead now"
Jess gasped, running to scoop it up from Wills feet
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
I put a hand to my mouth
"Jess… I'm sorry"
Rk shrugged her shoulders
"It's just a ball of ugly fluff"
"RK! SH'ES MY BABY!… MY SWEEY CUTE BABY… AND…"
She looked up quickly at Rk
"…ITS YOUR FAULT! YOU JINXED HER! YOU THREATENED TO PUT HER IN THE BLENDER!"
Rk scowled
"Don't blame me! I only said I was I wasn't really going to!"
Jess looked back down at the dead hamster
"I know… I shouldn't have… I …"
Jess burst into tears
"I PUSHED HER TOO HARD ON THAT STUPID WHEEL!"
She wiped her nose on the fluffy thing
"I ONLY WANTED THE BEST FOR HER! SHE WAS SO FAT!"
Jack started sniffling, we looked over to him and he stood up off the sofa slowly
"I gave 'er some o' tha' curry te other night… 'er lil' guts couldn' take it! I killed 'er!"
Will shook his head and walked into the middle of the room
"No, I killed her… I was walking across the landing and I didn't see her… and I … I kicked her… I KICKED HER BALL DOWN THE STAIRS!"
I patted his back and cleared my throat… Best join in
"Well I did kind of fling it across the room…"
Rk just folded her arms and raised her eyebrow
"Well if it makes you feel any better, you all killed him"
Jess wiped her eyes on the dead hamster
"I know what would make Squeaky proud!… we should give her a funeral!"
Jack nodded quickly
"Aye! Te lil' mite would 'ave like tha!"
Jess placed Squeaky carefully in Jacks hands
"I'll find a nice place in the garden!"
I nodded
"I've got a shoebo-… I mean coffin…"
Will went towards the door
"I'll go get a shovel and dig a hole"
Will, Jess and Jack left the room. Rk flung her hands in the air
"Why do I have the feeling my whole day was just ruined!"
"Well it was the only pet Jess actually took care of for more than two days… she really got attached to it Rk"
"So! Give it a nice little flushing, don't bury it!"
"That would traumatize Jess seeing the only pet she liked being flushed down the toilet! What if it didn't flush down properly? Or it blocked? You remember what happened with the fish! That would scare her!"
"Yes, and I also remember another fish being dug up by that stupid mangy cat next door, and been dragged half eaten through her bedroom window in the middle of the night! She had nightmares for months!"
"You just don't want her to end up sleeping in your bed when she gets nightmares"
"…And that too… But I still say you flush it, that cat will dig it up"
"Of course it won't! Will is going to dig a deep hole, the cat will never find it"
I left Rk in the living room and ran upstairs to get the shoebox… I mean coffin.
……………
"Ok… I've got the coffin"
I walked over to the back of the garden where Will had just placed the shovel down
"I've dug the… grave"
I took the hamster off Jack and placed it in the box, closing the lid and leaning to place it into the hole.
Jess stood up off the swing
"AHEM… I would like to say a few words… Squeaky would have liked that"
Jess stood up straight and cleared her throat, Rk shook her head and folded her arms… Jess had made Rk come outside to attend the 'funeral'. Either that or Rk would have had to listen to a whole list of why she was to blame for Squeaky's parting.
"She was a pet, a friend, but most importantly, she was a hamster. My hamster. When I saw her beautiful little specky eyes look up at me from that witches hands, I knew she was the one for me… I had to save her"
I glanced up at Will who was looking down at the floor, trying to hide is amusement from Jess' farewell speech.
"I remember when I put her into her new home… my owl fishbowl, she looked so happy and she went on her wheel for the first time… she was so happy!"
I looked over to Jack who looked like he was about to burst into tears…
"…Then… then… I pushed her too hard on that wheel!"
Jess stopped for a moment and wiped her cheeks where some tears had fallen… bless
"But… I am not only to blame for Squeaky's trip underground…"
She looked to each of us
"You all did… through pushing her down the stairs, throwing her across a room, through curry poisoning, and finally through threats"
I looked around, Jack was now crying
"But… I forgive you… Squeaky… we shall miss you"
She placed a bunch of flowers on top of the box and stood up. Will started to fill the hole back up, Rk sighed
"Can we go in now!"
"OI!"
I looked round over the fence of the house next door, Mr Johnson was peeping over pointing fiercely at us
"What do you want?"
"I WANT MY FLOWERS BACK!"
"What flowers?"
"THE ONES YOU JUST BURIED!"
I shook my head
"Oh be quiet you stupid little man, they're just weeds from your garden!"
"I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THEY WERE FOR MY SICK MOTHER! AND THEY WEREN'T FROM MY GARDEN! SGE STOLE THEM FROM MY KITCHEN TABLE! NOW RETURN THEM AT ONVE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"
He was still pointing at Jess. Rk unfolded her arms and stepped towards the fence
"Rk… don't you start"
"I'm not…"
She stood very close to the fence… even though she couldn't see over it, she looked up at Mr Johnson who was now looking down at her.
"You want the flowers?"
He nodded quickly
"YES IMMEDIATELY!"
Rk didn't drop eye contact with Mr Johnson but called out
"Stop shovelling Will! Dig up the dirty nasty flowers and give them back to Mr Jackass"
"JOHNSON!"
"That's what I said… Oh and Mr Jackass I hope your mother likes the dirty, wormy flowers… you could have just waited for that mangy cat of yours to dig them up, it digs everything else up! Oh! Remember to tell your beloved mother where the flowers came from… on top of a dead rat's grave!"
He stopped pointing at Jess and his head slightly dropped behind the fence
"NEVERMIND! KEEP THE BLASTED WEEDS! MOTHER NEVER LIKED LILLIES ANYWAY!"
Rk turned around and smirked… then noticed how all of us were staring at her
"WHAT! Well carry on shovelling Whelp!"
Jess raced up to Rk, flung her arms around her and squeezed tightly
"Oh thanks Rk! You saved Squeaky's flowers! You're my best friend!"
She stepped back and allowed Rk to breathe again, and Rk looked relieved that Jess had stopped touching her
"I want you to have Squeaky's wheel… she would have wanted it that way"
Rk raised an eyebrow
"Whatever"
……………
"That was nice of you Rk… I always knew you had a nice person hidden inside"
Rk's face screwed up and Wills compliment
"Whatever… I'm going to bed… Smell you later!"
She disappeared up the stairs… I turned to Will
"I'm going to bed too, it's been a long day"
"I'll go too then"
I stopped on the stairs and turned to see Will climbing them behind me
"Why?"
"Because… I'm tired?"
I raised an eyebrow, then smirked and folded my arms
"You think I'm stupid… I know what you want… a goodnight cuddle… well you aren't getting it!"
I heard sniggering from the room upstairs where Jess, Jack and Rk were… Will gave his best puppy eye look that he learned from Jess… only it works with him
"Fine"
He smiled and pushed me up the rest of the stairs
"Rach, can I ask you something?"
I turned the lamp on in my room and lay on the bed still dressed, picking up a book from the nightstand
"Yep"
Will hesitantly sat on the other side of the bed, sliding so he was sitting next to me
"Well… do you like me?"
I put the book on my lap in mock thought
"Come to think of it… no I don't… so get off my bed"
He smiled and I started to read the book again
"Don't be stupid of course I like you… would I let you in my room if I didn't?"
"I mean like me… like me?"
"Yes I do and you know I do, so why ask?"
"But… you don't hold my hand when we go out… and won't let me kiss you in public…"
Aw… bless. Well it was true… but I can't really do those things with him in public because of the fact of him looking exactly like Orlando Bloom. And every time I do hold his hand or kiss him a photograph of us is on the front page of the local newspaper… and he then has flocks of girls following him.
"I know… it's just because… well… I'm embarrassed too… I can't help it"
He smiled
"Oh… I understand… I thought you were going off me"
"Nope! Guess you're stuck with me for a while longer"
He smiled and moved closer leaning on the head board, I leaned my head on his shoulder still reading
"What are you reading?"
"Reverse Psychology For Beginners, I'm going to try it on Rk and Jess…"
He nodded
"I just think I heard something…"
I put the book back on the side table and listened… I heard movement from the room across the hall, which is where Rk, Jess and Jack were sleeping… I'd made sure they all slept together so then I could get some sleep on my own
"It's probably just Rk cutting Jess' hair when she's sleeping"
He nodded again
"HELLO KITTY!"
"Or Jess letting that stupid flea infested cat in through the window"
"WHAT A PRETTY KITTY AREN'T YOU!"
I shook my head, the thought of that cat being pretty was unbelievable… it is the ugliest thing I've ever seen, it made Squeaky look like a hamster model it was that gross. It had one eye and clumps of hair missing, it smelled and wasn't the slightest bit friendly. And I had to admit Rk was right, the stupid thing did have a record for digging up Jess' ex-pets.
"WHAT YOU GOT THERE PRETTY KITTY? DID YOU CATCH A NASTY MOUSEY!"
I sat you and looked at Will
"You did make sure that hole was really deep… didn't you?"
He looked like he had just remembered something really important that he had forgotten then bit his lip
"Er… yes?"
"WILL!"
"LET ME SEE THAT NASTY MOUSEY PRETTY KITTY!"
I jumped off the bed and ran to the door
"JESS NOOOOOO!"
"WHOA!… THAT'S AN UGLY MOUSEY… WHA-… … SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAKY!"
