AN: Hey, so sorry it's been a while but i'm doing my GCSE French right now (big exams for English schools) and i have this big drama production I'm doing were basically im making a play. Like from scratch with my group and i basically with 2 other members do all the work myself, rest of my group do NOTHING. So i swarmed with work right now. :| So once again… SORRY :(
Omg. Why? I mean sure, from what i know, Jason and Nate are nice but Shane? I mean i've known him for what? a little over a DAY and i already hate him. Not saying much huh? Ugh. Oh well, i can't judge his family based on him. So i look up and see that they have a little brother or atlas assume that he's a little brother and their parents are here too. I didn't realize how much i had been thinking until i heard a cough.
"So… shall we sit down?" Steve said looking at me, right. I just nodded. "Great okay, we adults can sit at the top end and the kids can sit at the bottom end" This caused him a few glares "teenagers i mean, and kid, Frankie" Frankie. That must be the little kid. I hobbled my way down the rest of the stairs and to to the dinning room and when i got to the table Nate pulled out my chair for me and i just smiled at him. Shane had gone to the bathroom before sitting down and when he got back i had realized that Nate sat next to me and Jason opposite me next to Frankie leaving the only available chair next to me. Great. I looked up and he had obviously been following my train of thoughts because he now had a horrible smirk on his face and came to sit next to me. I rolled my eyes and just turned away from him.
"So, Mitchie, what have you done since you got here… which was just yesterday.. so obviously not that much… " Jason said realizing how stupid his comment was… I chuckled.
"Uh yeah. It's been good, i guess… Went shopping yesterday for new stuff, apparently what i had wasn't sufficient." I said and Nate nodded his head as in some sort of agreement?
"Yeah Shane mentioned that, you know, he said how he ran into you…" He said and Shane smirked. Oh god. Will he PLEASE stop with that.
"Im Frankie!" The little boy chirped in. I laughed at his outburst.
"Nice to meet you Frankie, I'm Mitchie."
"Mitchie. That's a nice name. I like it. Mitchie." He smiled which made me smile. A genuine smile. Hadn't had one of those in a while. "Mitchie will you be my friend?" I smiled again.
"Yes. I would love to be your friend. You can be my first here in California." He had a huge smile on face now.
"Yay! I love this, I feel so special now. And i love your voice." I put a confused face on.
"My voice? What do you mean."
"Your voice. It sounds different to ours. All of ours." Oh. He means my accent.
"Oh you mean my accent? Hahaha thanks. It's because i've been living in England most of my life"
"England. Where's that?"
"It's a long way away, over the ocean."
"Wow. That's a long way. Why did you move such a long way over here?" Hmm… how do i answer this?
"How old are you Frankie?"
"7." He said with a smile on his face. I looked up to Jason. He gave me a warning look. I smiled and nodded at him. I knew exactly what he was saying and i already agreed that.
"Well, something happened which made me have to move here and come live with Steve." He nodded.
"Oh. I see… that's horrible. I'm sorry."
"Why are you sorry?"
"Well a) You say something bad happened so that's not nice and b) You had to leave all your friends and move to here." I smiled. Wow. No ones said that to me before. I swear i am falling in love with this little boy.
"Thank you. But you don't need to be." We then started to talk about random is probably the most i have spoken to one person since before the accident. Steve obviously noticed this because when i looked up to him he was staring at me. A bit surprised but at the same time… Happy? I can' tell.
We had all finished eating and got up from the table.
"How about we adults go into the Living Room and Mitchie? How about you show the rest your room? Hang out in there?" He asked but it was a more of 'that is what happening' type of thing because as soon as he said it, they were already walking into the living room, i sighed.
"So, gunna show us your .. room." Shane said rather sneery. I rolled my eyes and grunted.
"Ugh, fine, Um… just, follow me." I said as i started to go up the stairs. But with being on the crutches it took longer than needed. I think this wasn't enough for Shane for next thing i know im being swept of my feet bridal style and he's carrying me up the stairs. My eyes BUG out. What IS he doing.
"Where now?" He sakes rather annoyed.
"Um… down the hall up the staircase." He said feeling a bit awkward. He followed my directions and next thing i know we're outside my room and he's putting me down and opening the doors. He walks in with the others following behind him and i just wait for them to get in and then follow.
"Wow! This is your room?" Nate asked in awe. All three boys gaping looking at everything. Frankie was climbing the steps up and the others were looking around.
"THIS. IS SO. COOL!" Frankie yelled.
"Wow, you have like so many cool games." Jason said gazing over the games i had for the PS3 and Wii.
"Lets play." Shane said which honestly shocked me. They all looked at me.
"Uh you guys go ahead. Im just gunna check the computer." Shane dove straight into the games and Jason and Nate were a bit hesitant at first but then went to the games. I went up to the second floor and logged onto the computer. I went to facebook to see if any friends were on but then realized with the time difference they would all be in bed and have school tomorrow so instead i just decided to 'facebook stalk' all my friends and see what they've been up to this weekend.
I had been going through all my friends profiles for a while when all of a sudden Frankie comes running up and sits on my lap.
"Hello buddy."
"Hi." He said sheepishly. "What are you doing?"
"Just looking at pictures on facebook."
"Can we look at yours?" I laughed at his enthusiasm and turning it into a 'we' thing.
"Sure." I clicked to my profile and then went to photos of me. The first one was picture of my and my Best Friend, Maddy. There were a bunch of them from that album. I was at her house and we had been mucking about for hours on photo booth pulling crazy faces and moves and what not. All the pictures were crazy, Frankie laughed at them all.
"You're funny."
"Yeah well, when I'm with Maddy I'm not normal." I said smiling. The next picture was one of me and my mum from her birthday. Just a few weeks ago. She looked so happy, i miss that smile. She had an amazing smile.
"Who's that?" Frankie said pointing at the screen.
"That's my mum."
"She's pretty. You look just like her. Where is she?" My face fell.
"She's gone. Somewhere.. " How do i put this? "Somewhere far away." I think thats good, no?
"Far away? So… you don't get to see her?" my smile dropped.
"No. No i don't. But you know what? It's okay because i know that even though she's not right in front of me, she's still with me. In my heart and whenever i have to go through something big in my life, she'll be there with me, guiding me through what to do and my life. I might miss her but she's in a good place right now." I said smiling. Frankie leaned back into me and I hugged him. I felt like someone was watching me and when i looked up, i saw that Shane was stood there, leaning agains6t the wall, watching us. How long had he been there for me? We held eye contact for god how long and i swear there was something there. I mean i can't explain it but when this was happening, i felt something. And something other than hate. What is this?This must have been going on for a while because out of no where we hear Frankie
"Helllooo? You two!" We both snapped out of it and i looked down as my cheeks flushed red and Shane looked away. "Shane! What are you doing up here?" Frankie asked.
"Uh… um …" He seemed a bit lost. Maybe i'm not the only one who felt something? "Um. We need to go down. It's time for us to leave." Frankie pouted but got down off me and went down the stairs. I just kinda sat there when Shane came up to me and picked me up. What? I looked at him funnily.
"Well, it worked last time and you are way too slow for me." He said smirking but in a joking way. Sort of … friendly?
"Shut up.." I said joking back. He then pretended to drop me and a grabbed on to him.
"Don't you dare?" He laughed and held me close.
"I would never drop you." He said as he smiled at me and i smiled back. What is this? We got to the bottom and everyone was waiting for us. He set me down and everyone looked at us weirdly.
"She's too slow for me" Shane said as if it was normal and i just shrugged.
"Well. It's been a good night. So glad to have you guys over, we must do this again. And soon!" Steve said.
"Definitely. Next time at ours!" Mrs. Grey said smiling.
"Well see you at school tomorrow Mitchie." Jason said. I nodded.
"Yup see you a… wait.. what?" They all laughed at my confusion.
"We go to the same school that you're gunna be going to." Nate explained.
"How do you know what school I'm going to? I don't even know."
"Oh we know everything" Shane said. i just rolled my eyes in a joking way. I think i have made some more friends. "Anyway, see you tomorrow Mitch."
"Oh giving me a nickname now are we?" I said jokingly
"Yeah. Got a problem with that?" He said in a joking seriously way if you get what i mean?
"Yes, actually i do." i said in the same manner as him.
"Well tough. I'm calling you that."
"Whatever." Everyone looked at us shocked. I don't think they saw that one coming. Us. Being FRIENDS with each other. Shocker! They all, and i mean ALL, hugged me goodbye and they then left. After this day i was pretty tired and decided to just go to bed and be prepared for my first day of school tomorrow.
AN: So once again, sorry it's been a while. Hope this was okay … I know it was short and quite boring but it's just a filler story. Please REVIEW. And a proper one. Not just a few word ones. Don't be shy. Give opinions. Or predictions. Or what you think should happen. The nicer the review the more willing i am to put the next chapter up quicker. :) Love you x 3
