When me, Heath and Casey arrive at the Braxton's house-Braxton is their last name-an quite old lady in a fish mongers uniform was waiting by the door.
"You said you'd be home ages ago where you been you idiot!" she shouts aggressively at, who it seems, Heath. He gets out the car and Casey says to me " That's our mother nice isn't she?"
"Errrmmmmmm..." I say awkwardly.
"It's ok I know she's not, she didn't even want me to go to school still doesn't. My brothers have always looked after me, Brax doesn't want me to have the same life as he and Heath have had and is really keen for me to finish school." As if he read my mind he then adds "Heath doesn't care but he really wants me to be a proper River boy so he's with mum."
I say "Oh," it's all I can say really. It's quite cool he already trusts me enough to tell me this.
He suggests we should get out of the car, so we did. Heath and his mum where in quite deep conversation, well an argument, but when she saw me she stopped, "and you are...?" she's rude.
I was to shocked to speak so Casey did instead "mum this is Bethany but call her Beth,"
"And what's she doing here?" this women is seriously rude! "because..."
Heath cut her off " she's staying here tonight and maybe tomorrow night as well just until something goes right for her, ok? Good I knew you'd be so understanding." Heath says cheekily. His mum is still staring at me even though I stopped looking and being so horrified at what she's wearing, but she's still staring at me and my outfit which is; a bright yellow vest top with a Jack Wills navy blue hoodie zip jacket with the sleeves rolled up (not the jumper that's in my hand luggage) a pair of light grey shorts on top of plain black leggings with bright yellow heels and to top it of the biggest black Channel bag ever also a Celtic ring on my little finger on my left hand and a big black ring with medium and large sized fake diamonds scattered over the top of it. Also round my neck hung proudly a real diamond necklace them going round in a circle. Also in my long light brown hair, with natural blonde strikes, I wore a black and yellow headband. My make up was quite neutral today gold eye shadow foundation black eye liner and mascara and pink lipstick with a coat of clear lip gloss. I look gorgeous! Eventually Mrs Braxton excepts me staying with them and stops staring at me. I tell Heath to leave my art stuff in his boot. He does as I say even though he's already started to get it out, and we all go inside the house.
About ten minutes later a man a bit older than Heath walks in to the living room, where I'm watching TV with Casey, looks at me then walks into the kitchen where Heath is. I get up and follow him. He's saying to Heath, "Who's that chick on my couch? And why?"
"Oh her? She's staying here for a bit." Heath answers casually.
"Yeah, but who is she?" Brax says.
"That's... that's. Hhhhmmmmmmm..." I couldn't stand the pain any longer. So I said to Brax, "I'm Bethany, but call me Beth. Your... Oh wait let me guess," I started to count the people that live here on my fingers then put the fingers down of the ones I'd already met, so that just left Brax- well Daryll- "Your Daryll" he looked at me funny "well I'll call you Brax, yeah? I heard everyone does." I've started to babble now, I do quite a lot when I say the wrong thing- so most of the time.
"Yeah, cool. Why you staying with us and how long for?" he's obviously still confused on why I was here.
Heath get's in before me and says, "Well long story cut short all ten of her bags didn't arrive with her, she had her car sent here it broke down we found her looked at her car beyond my skills to fix, it was raining and she had nowhere to stay, so it just made sense." He finishes.
Casey walks in and says, "And 'cause he likes her," looks at us both "a lot! So does she."
We both shout calls of protest. Then for some really weird reason we both burst out laughing. Brax must of thought it was weird as well as he shook his head and went.
