Disclaimer: I don't own CATCF! (shudders at thought!)
Right, well here's the next chapter Sian! (Sian jumps around happily in the background) Yet again I'm sorry for it's crapness, but never mind! I think i can nearly see the end of the fic now... ut to be honest I really have no idea where this is going... Much.
Also - My deepest apologies to any other poor people who read this, for making Mike so OOC, and pairing him up with a mad girl like Sian, who's parents really are like that! (Though in real life I can be a TAD more normal than that!)
"Hello, welcome to the house from hell, my name is Steph, how may I kill you today?" Steph said as she picked up the phone, causing Sian to look at her in a 'You are demented but brilliant' kinda way.
"Erm… I think I have the wrong number – I was looking for a Sian Champion." Said a confused voice on the other end of your line.
"The queen of insanity is here… What's left of her anyway, hang on…" Steph said before covering the mouth piece with her hand. "There's a boy on the phone for you… and judging by his voice I think it's Mike." Steph winced as Sian squeaked, only thankful that she had no more chocolate buttons to throw around.
"For the love of Satan take the phone!" Steph hissed as she held the phone out and moved to pick up the scattered chocolates… again.
"…Hello? Mike? Your ok?" Sian asked quickly, stumbling over her words.
"Apart from the stretched-ness and a few cuts and bruises I'll be fine… I just rang to say… Thank you." Mike and Sian sighed simultaneous breaths – Sian of panic, and Mike of relief he'd been able to say the words.
"W...W…What for?" She asked stuttering as Steph rolled her eyes in the background and dodged out of the way as a saxophone case got thrown through the window.
"I think you knew this already, but your mum is officially round the bend." Steph said as sincerely as she could, resting a hand on Sian's shoulder as she passed back into the kitchen, now holding the slightly battered kettle.
"What for? For… Defending me… Getting me to a hospital… Not judging me…" Mike trailed off, then kicked the wall next to him in anger – How come he was acting like such a retard? He didn't even fancy her! – Did he?...Mike groaned and was about to bang his head on the wall too, but then decided it was too much effort and just straightened up so he hit his head on the 'Mind Your Head' sign again.
"Are you ok Mike?" Sian asked shakily, jumping slightly as what looked like a shoe came flying through the broken window.
"Am I ok? It sounds like you have at least a dozen Manchester United fans in your house!" Mike exclaimed back.
"Oh… that's my mum…" Sian said before trailing off though Steph quickly grabbed the phone.
"You see Mike, She brought you here to call an ambulance, but her mum who is a total bitch thought she was a slut – But she isn't, but Sian hid you in the cupboard when you were unconscious, then her mum went upstairs and found Sian's secret pet ferret in the cupboard, who is now loose round the house, Sian got you to the hospital, came back, found Laurel – Her mum, tipping all Sian's stuff into the garden, then Sian barricaded herself in the house, then I arrived with my cat Tini… now also loose round the house, and Laurel is currently passing the time by throwing items through the window – But I'm glad she tossed in the kettle as I'm STARVING for some noodles now!... By the way that crash wasn't Laurel, that was Sian connecting her head with the wall in a panic attack." Steph stopped talking and took a few deep breaths.
"…And I thought I was weird." Mike said after a few seconds.
"I just thought I'd fill you in on the whole picture, oh yeah, the kettles just about to boil so do I tell Sian you want to ask her out on a date or not?... And just so you know, THAT crash was all of Sian connecting with the floor in a faint."
"…Are you always like this? You… Freak you." Mike said hesitantly.
"Mostly… Oopsy, kettles boiled, so do you want to go out with Sian or not.?" Steph said briskly.
"..As a thank you!" Mike said, wondering if this was how a deer felt when it had a car coming to hit it from one direction, and a bulldozer from the other.
"Right… You been released soon – Like today?" Steph asked as she knelt down next so Sian, trying to shake her awake.
"…Yes." Mike lied after a moment.
"Then be at the bus stop where Sian got on at… 6pm this evening. Ok?" Steph stated in a 'Don't you mess with me!' kinda way.
"Erm… Alright." Mike said confusedly, before hearing the dialling tone as the phone at the other end was hung up.
Mike slowly walked back to his room thinking. - He'd just realised he fancied a girl the same age as his sister, he was about to break out of hospital to go meet her and possibly her crazy friend, Sian's mum sounded demented and in need of a straight jacket… As did Sian's friend Steph, and he still looked like he'd been in an accident with a mangle… Happy days!...
