Chim -Picking Up The Pieces

Chapter 20

Cheryl's Pov-

It feels like we've been stuck in traffic for hours but it's probably only a new minutes .Kimberley is driving me to pick up my 'surprise' and she won't even give me a clue what it is , this mornings events are still at the back of my mind and I'm trying my hardest to push them away but they just won't budge .Why was she acting so funny ? I try to put it down to her being tired or just in a bad mood but deep down I know there's more too it .I'm brought out of my thoughts when I hear sound of the under ground being turned up on the radio .

"Disco dancing with the lights down low beats are pumping on the stereo..."

"Neighbours banging on the bathroom wall Your sayin' crank the bass I gotta get some more ." Kimberley starts singing , I soon join in .

"Waters runnin' in the wrong direction got a feelin' it's a mixed up signI can see it in my own reflection summit funnies goin' on inside my mind don't know what it's pushin' me higher It's the static from the floor below Then its drops and catches like a fire
It's a sound I, it's a sound I know
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and round ..."

"Hey why'd you turn it off ?" I ask

"Do you think the girls would ever want to reform ?" she asks

"Nadine definitely would , so would Nicola and Sarah probably would , why ?"

"Well I have no job , a baby on the way , I can walk again and I miss it so I was thinking maybe we could talk to the girls about it ."Kimberley confesses

"It's a good idea , id like to do some more music with the group but it depends on finding because soon My first single is going to be out , then the other singles then the album and all that goes with it ." I explain

"Oh yeah I never thought about that it doesn't matter ."she sighs

"Once we get home we can phone the girls ."

"Why ?"

"If it makes you happy I'll sort it out somehow ." I smile

She takes her hand of the gear stick and takes my hand in hers and gives it an affectionate squeeze . We soon pull over and I look out the window trying to gather clues to what my surprise might be . All I see is shops upon shops and loads of busy people walking up and down the high street .Kimberley comes round and opens my door and giggles at my face .

"Stop trying to look for clues you won't find them yet ." she giggles

"Are we going shopping ?" I ask

"It's not quite as good as that but it's a form of shopping ." she coyly tells me

We turn a corner and Kimberley instructs me to put a scarf over my eyes , I let her do so and then she guides me in to what I'm guessing is a shop . I hear barking and then I'm totally confused .she takes the blind fold off and infront of me stands a smiling Kimberley and beside her a man with a dog on a leash . Me face bursts in to a smile and I have to conceal a squeal .

"Miss Walsh and Miss Tweedy , I presume ." the man giggles at our faces .

"Yes that's us , we're here to pick up the little one ." Kimberley smiles

"What's his name ?" I ask a smile still spread across me face .

"I thought id leave that up to you baby ."

The dog is handed to me whilst Kimberley signs some paper work and I instantly coo over it .The little chihuahua looks like a boy and I already have a name in my mind . His big eyes are so adorable and he's just a puppy so he's so small .

Kimberley pats my arm signalising we are ready to go . I sit the dog down and hug her tightly .

"Thank you so much babe , what made you think of getting me a dog ?"

"Well you love animals and I see this wee one in the window and I couldn't resist , plus he'll keep you company whilst I'm gone ."

"Gone ?" I gasp

"When I go to my parents what did you think I meant ?" she giggles

"It doesn't matter , arnt I coming with you ?"

"I was thinking about it last night ,I don't want to kill them with shock so I think telling them about the baby ,telling them how I was um r-raped , that I can walk again and then coming out with my best friend might be all too much at once so I was thinking of going for a week to tell them ."

"Oh I understand ." I sigh

"Are you okay ?" she asks

"Yeah why?"

"...Just what you said this morning and your being very clingy , not that I mind ... It's just not you and I know your are sometimes clingy but this morning just felt different ." she explains

"I just felt really bad after our tiff that's all ." I dismiss the subject

Kimberleys Pov-

When we got home we decided just to watch some films together with a take out and a bottle of wine since it would be our last night together for a week .By the end of pretty woman I realise Cheryl has fallen asleep with Tate in such a cute position , I have no idea why she wanted to call him Tate . I quickly get my phone and snap a picture and upload it go
Instagram with the caption

Cheryl's new bestfriend #replaced #just kidding 💞

I have a quick looks through twitter and see a fans post saying

"I don't know if I'm going mad but I'm sure I seen Kim and Chez out today but Kim was walking wtf !?"

"Shit ." I mumble

I decide to go up stairs and stand infront of a mirror and take a photo and post it on twitter explaining how I am walking . I jump when Cheryl grabs me from behind .

"Think you can leave me and I won't notice eh ?" she giggles

"Shit Cheryl I almost had a heart attack ." I giggle

"What are you doing anyways ?"

"Well a fan seen us out today and was bewildered by the fact I was walking so I thought we should tell the fans ."

"You do realise you are going to be hounded by paps at your parents now ."

"I know bad timing I guess but oh well ."

"I've locked up and put Tate in his basket so let's go to bed ."
