chapter 2

when I woke up it was only 4:30 Am I got up made myself some breakfast, did the washing up and then got dressed. I got my favourite falling in reverse top, cropped jeans and some Zombie trainers. Then I got my heart necklace my mother got me for my fourth birthday and a pair of pentagram star earrings. I got my running play list up before I unlocked the door and started my jog.

I didn't realise how long I'd been until I got a phone call from Leah.

"Hey what's up?" I said cheerily.

"Don't 'whats up' me! Where are you it's 7Am!"

"Oh I started my morning work out early. Well I set out here at half past six but time flies by. I'm coming back now." She muttered that I was stupid for being up this early but then hung up. I jogged back not before bumping into a mini hulk. "Ow!" I said rubbing my head. I looked up and met his eyes and his eyes widened and he shook his head.

"No. No. No... Shit!" He said. "Who are you?"

"Telitha Gray." I said. Wait why the fuck did I answer him?! Damn! "Who are you?"

"Paul Lahote." I recognise that name.

"You was at Harry's funeral weren't you." He nodded. "I'm his and Sue's adopted daughter I was there but I got pulled away because of something important."

"What's more important than your dads funeral?!" I got pissed.

"You know what I took two bullets for this country I don't need to take this crap!" He looked confused. "and that important this is that if I didn't get back to Iraq and disable them bombs then possibly about 20 lives would be lost in my base alone. I wish I could have been there but I would have had unnecessary blood on my hands!"

"Wait you was in the army." I nodded. "So your who Seth was on about on was coming home."

"Well I need to get home before Leah kills me." I brushed my hair out of my eyes and walked past him
