Chapter 4
"They're weird" Tyler said as the he and the rest of the Moons piled into their house later that evening after the rather tense dinner at number 30. The dinner party had ended about as good as it had started. Derek had gotten progressively drunks the evening went on which resulted in an argument with Max, and a smashed glass or two.
Maria shook her head, switching the light of the kitchen on and starting to make drinks for them all. "They seem perfectly normal to me" she said with a shrug
"Normal?" Maria nodded to her youngest, his tone suggesting he obviously disagreed. "Oi Ant back me up here? There's something weird about them ain't there?"
The older brother held up his hands "I'm with Mum, there didn't seem anything un-normal . Anyway you've only just met them, they're probably lovely people" he turned and helped him Mum with the drinks. "It's you that's weird"
"oh Anthony stop winding him up. There nothing wrong with my baby" Tyler wincing as Maria kissed his cheek. "Eddie, teas brewed!"
The boys shook they heads, almost to rid the sound of her yell from their ears "god Mum, the whole street will know it's done"
"behave" Eddie scored as he appeared in the kitchen "What you think of the people of this place then?"
"Not norm…"
"They seem lovely" Maria cut off Tyler shooting him a look, to which he just smirked.
"wouldn't wanna get on the wrong side if that Derek bloke though would you?" the two lad's nodding quickly agreeing with their father. "The rest of them seem alright though, Joey's at your sixth form Ty, so's that Lauren kid."
" Great, lets hope he's more like his Mother than Father and that she ain't as weird as she sounds. I still don't understand why I'm going back to school anyway . I can work on the market like Dad does"
"No Tyler you can't because… unlike your father here you have brains" She smiled
"ye in his pants" Anthony added receiving several punches from Tyler, a slap with the tea towel from his mum and a high five from his Dad.
"maybe I don't wanna go"
"well you don't have a choice do you ? You're going end of" Maria upped and left signalling the end of the conversation. Eddie gave him a slap on the shoulder and left following his wife.
Tyler got up, pulling his coat "where you going ?"
"I'm going out dear brother… going check out the night life. You coming ?" Anthony shook his head "suit yourself".
so Tyler has reservations that the Brannings are normal, does he have grounds to go on ? Find out soon... back later xx
