Arguments and Anguish

When the time was right, the Hunter's got ready to greet there new neighbours. They had all gone and smartened up for the occasion (apart from Jack, he didn't know what the fuss was all about), but none of them really knew what they were in for. When they knocked on the door and Stuart's wife opened it in a scarlet dress and makeup which made her look like a Stepford wife rather than someone who had just moved house- it was obvious that the Turners didn't know what they were in for either.

The first few minutes into the visit were a bit awkward and only really included introductions and offers of drinks and apologies about the mess. To be honest the only two who were really interested in the introductions were Angel and Tyler, but both knew they couldn't show this in the presence of their families. Eventually Jack broke the silence by asking about some hideous painting they had stuck on the wall. Tania was obviously proud of this and it triggered a conversation about art between her and Sam. The awkwardness between Stuart and Sam was only broken when Angel realised they had Sky already installed and Phil asked what sport channels they had. This caused yet another conversation to flow, this one about sport. With their parents talking and Jack amusing himself with Tyler's old game-boy it only left Tyler and Angel not speaking.

'Hey do you want me to show you around?' Angel offered.

'Yeah. Sure.' Tyler tried not to sound too eager or too causal. They both got up and walked off with out either family realising.

'So, that's Tally and Logan Best's house. There in my class at school. I take it seeing as your older, that you won't be in our form?' Angel and Tyler were getting along like old friends, with Angel showing him the neighbourhood and her friends houses.

'Nah, Shame. It could have been quite fun.' He looked at her, while she blushed and looked away. She really was beautiful, he thought. She was dressed in a girl next-door meets a skater chick type of way, and it was obvious she had her own style, which he really liked.

'You'll still have fun.' She said trying to look pleased that he thought it would have been fun if they were in the same form.

'Not nearly as much as it would have been if you were there', he flirted, making her blush even more and that warm feeling inside him grow.

As they returned towards Tyler's house and walked up the path, they could hear raised voices. They looked at each other and rushed inside. They were greeted by the sight of Phil and Stuart arguing about, what appeared to be the football and Sam and Tania were trying to separate them.

'There you are.' Stuart turned towards Tyler, his face filled with anger. 'Was that hussy trying to lead you astray?' He snarled referring to Angel.

'How dare you call my daughter a hussy, it was probably your son. Just like his father, always trying to have his wicked way with innocent women.' Phil snarled. 'Still at it as well I see and they're getting younger.' He nodded towards Tania.

'Phil, stop it right now. We're going home.' Sam tried to calm the situation down, and apologise to Tania.

'It's Ok, but maybe you should go home.' Tania agreed.

'Yeah go home, and take your tarty daughter with you.' Stuart yelled spitefully. Phil went to take a punch at Phil, but Tyler knocked him out the way.

'Maybe you should go.' tyler suggested holding Phil away from his father.

'Don't worry. I'm going. And I don't want you, your violent antics, your womanising ways, or your family near me or my family. Especially Angel.' And with that the Hunters walked out the door, with not so much as a goodbye. Except for the longing look, that was shared by Tyler and Angel, before their families tore them apart.
