Chapter 5
Tyler walked around the square for a while, loitering the back streets, finding out what was what. It was pretty different to night life in Spain, it was much quieter for one. He walked around the gardens reading the plaque on the bench and then some more little memorial plaque by trees. It seemed like a pretty good place to live, the people he'd met other than Derek had seemed really welcoming, there was definitely a sense of community.
Eventually he found the old park by the community centre, you couldn't call it a park really, a couple of rusty tyre swings and a slide didn't really constitute a park. He walked a little closer and saw someone sitting on one of the swings. Recognising them he made his way across.
"Joey…"
Joey looked up forcing a smile on his face "alright… Tyler ain't it?"
"ye. So is this all the night life is round here then ? A rusty old swing?"
Joey chuckled "Na, there is more… I just like it here. It's quiet and away from everything" Tyler looked at him frowning "don't ask"
"you actually like sitting here?"
"sometimes but not really…I like spending time with my friends going to the club, R&R it's called. We used to have so much fun there…"
"We?"
"Me and Lauren and some of the others" Joey said softy bringing the swing to a stop.
"oh…thought your dad said you and her weren't together?" he questioned
Joey sighed running his hands through his hair "That's because he doesn't think we are… well were. I ain't spoke to her for ages" he brought the swing's gentle sway to a stop, his mood having slipped even further into the negative zone.
Chuckling Tyler shook his head "give you the brush off did she ?"
Joey shook his head "no… it's just what Lauren does sometimes… she's a completed person."
"sounds like trouble to me…"
"oh she is" Joey smirked "but she's worth it"
So Joey and Lauren were together and were hiding it but Joey's lost contact with her for a while and he's deemed her trouble ! But how much trouble is Lauren... she makes her début soon ! Keep reviewing please ! Back tomorrow! Xxx
