《It was Always You》


 Chapter one

    I wake up and roll over to see my little brother snoring, mouth open drooling on my favorite pillow, a PuffPower Gals Pillow with Dandelion (The best one out of the three) on it. ¡°Oh, my days, Dom wake up! Why are you in here?!¡± I yell at Dom, and he wakes up startled.


    ¡°Uh-Uh Umm sorry sis! I had a bad dream, a monster ate you and I was really sad.¡± He says upset


    ¡°Awww bud you alright? That sounds scary, it¡¯s okay I¡¯m right here aight? Nothing will ever happen to me.¡± I say in a small tone


    ¡°Kay love you, sis.¡± He says, falling back to sleep snoring gently.


    I get up and go downstairs to the kitchen and boil the kettle for a cup of coffee. Mum comes down and asks ¡°Can you make me a coffee too?¡±


    I look at her with my most disapproving look ¡°Yeah... Sure.¡± I sigh loudly to show my annoyance.


    The kettle finishes boiling, I grab two cups and pour a coffee for me and Mum then sit down at the table and open my phone to see ten texts from my best friend Kat asking if I can meet up at 7:00 ¡°shit.¡± I say under my breath I check the time, it¡¯s 6:59. I jump up and run upstairs to my room and get changed, forgetting to get some socks. I run and grab my car keys, Mum stops me ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re going?¡±  She says giving me ¡®the look¡¯ that all parents seem to know ¡°To Kat¡¯s place it¡¯s urgent apparently.¡± I say rolling my eyes ¡°Could just be a plan to get me out¡± I say laughing to myself.

    ¡°Fine, be back before 5:00 okay? We¡¯re going to the uniform shop. We need to get you some shoes, yours are a wee bit scuffed.¡± she says sternly standing with her hands on her hips ¡°And don¡¯t be stupid aight?¡± She looks at me knowing I need this reminder.


    When I¡¯m with Kat -I do admit- I¡¯ve been somewhat stupid. My first time drinking was with her last month and last year we got high together -and with no regrets- we had our first kiss together. That''s how I found out that I liked girls. Mum found out a month later when we talked about it and she walked in, luckily she doesn¡¯t judge me.


    ¡°Okay bye mum! Love you, I¡¯ll try not to be stupid!¡± I say before I run to my car (A beat-up 1999 Honda Civic) and start it up the engine starts up with no luck ¡°fuck! Why won¡¯t you work? Piece of shit.¡± I try once more and it turns on, the radio blasts some crappy remix of a song that I don¡¯t know. I slap the mute button and the song cuts out, and the engine takes over revving loudly every time I hit the accelerator pedal.


    I get to Kat¡¯s without my car breaking down (surprisingly) I run up to her door, my feet hitting the ground hard, tearing up some grass with each step. By the time I¡¯m at her door, I¡¯m out of breath and panting, barely able to knock on the door. After I knock on the door Kat is there flinging the door open the hinges crying as it hits the wall, her parents would¡¯ve killed her if they had seen that. ¡°Holy shit I¡¯ve got tea!¡± she yells at me in her usual excited self


    ¡°Oh my god, what''s the ¡®tea¡¯?¡± I say looking at her and rolling my eyes in annoyance but also trying to sound enthusiastic.


    I could¡¯ve stayed home I thought she got assaulted, raped, or (with great surprise) lost her virginity, but no it¡¯s ¡®tea¡¯. ¡°Come in Ilsa please, it''s really important!¡± She looks at me.


    It''s important to her, I want to make her ¡®tea¡¯ important but I can¡¯t ¡°It¡¯s way too early for this, fuck me¡± I chuckle. She grabs my arm and pulls me in just about dislocating it in the process.
