Ello my lovelys :D<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Yeah I just realised at the end of the last chap I said 'you don't know his name' but I wrote his name - sorry ; Ha - my bad .<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Also ! I was told I had a lack of punctuation in the last chapter - sorry about that I kinda wrote it on a whim so I didn't check it over . <br style="line-height: 17px;" />But shoutout to super-swagg-boss for pointing that out to me :)<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />-<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Taylor shoots up in his bed-the sound of numerous gunshots and tyres screeching awaking him from a dreamless sleep,<br style="line-height: 17px;" />He Yawns,swinging his legs round the side of his double bed the silk sheets making it a swift movement ;<br style="line-height: 17px;" />He drags his hand across his face and rests it on the nape of his head, staring at his feet .<br style="line-height: 17px;" />He sits and thinks about his life -this provokes him to do what he loves most. <br style="line-height: 17px;" />Poetry<br style="line-height: 17px;" />After 2hours of straight writing,he has 3 full poems written.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Then the sleep hits and he lies back,eyes closed,already asleep before his head even makes contact with the pillow;<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />- <br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />It was around midday and danielle was sitting on the l-shaped sofa that lined the living room burping her youngest child ;<br style="line-height: 17px;" />There was a knock at the door and she gets up apprehensive as she wasn't expecting a visitor today.. nevertheless she opens the door.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />She stood shocked and dumbfounded as she looked on the girl before her,<br style="line-height: 17px;" />"Hi,Mrs Harris ... Is Taylor here..c-can I come in ?" The girl asked scratching her arm uncomfortably as Danielle stood staring at her. <br style="line-height: 17px;" />Snapping out of her shock she spoke"yes-yeah sure,come in come !" <br style="line-height: 17px;" />It was then in her haste that danielle noticed the 2 black suitcases by the feet of her visitor..<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />-<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />I was sitting in the kitchen munching on some coco pops-as you do... <br style="line-height: 17px;" />Someone knocked on the door a few minutes ago but I weren't expecting anyone so I let mum get it .. I heard fumbling and faint footsteps and I was fully prepared to stay in this kitchen - unless its an aunt or uncle <br style="line-height: 17px;" />Then I go simply to be polite,offer drink and food then collect the money they slip in my hand like a drug deal when they leave for being good ; easy money ..<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Then I heard soft footsteps behind me ; it couldn't of been mum cause she shuffles around like a pensioner. <br style="line-height: 17px;" />I turn to see who this person is and suddenly I'm engulfed in a hug-the familiar scent of lavender and baby lotion wafting into my nostrils <br style="line-height: 17px;" />I hugged the person back on impulse but pulled back to see the now matured face of my Primary School Bestfriend & Crush.Amber.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />-<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />"-So they kicked me out as soon as I told them, this was the only place I could go to.They-they didn't even let me explain!" she exclaimed as her dark brown eyes glazed over a tear cascading down her high cheekbones and light brown skin <br style="line-height: 17px;" />I still can't believe she's here;as beautiful as ever - more if possible ;<br style="line-height: 17px;" />I had the urge to go and hug her,for my arms to shield and prevent her from any outside hurt-but. Mum beat me to It first. <br style="line-height: 17px;" />She cooed' and swayed gently while hugging her,her chin was resting on the crown of her head.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />"Are you gonna keep it ?" She asked<br style="line-height: 17px;" />"Yes,-" I felt a pang of jealousy run through me but I shook it off <br style="line-height: 17px;" />She needs you as a bestfriend, nothing more <br style="line-height: 17px;" />I repeated this several times to myself in my head<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Which took my concentration from the conversation. <br style="line-height: 17px;" />Only when I noticed it was silent did I realise both the women in the room were staring at me in expectation ; <br style="line-height: 17px;" />My eyes widened in realisation that they must of asked me a question.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />I shrugged and tilted my head pointing to my ear- a sign that I didn't catch what they said <br style="line-height: 17px;" />"Amber is staying in your room;" mum repeated. <br style="line-height: 17px;" />I almost shot up out of my chair and jumped up in happiness like super mario does,but I restrained myself...<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />-<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Awkward was certainly an understatement for the atmosphere in Taylors room as the pair sat on either side of the double bed .<br style="line-height: 17px;" />A soft vibration caught their attention and taylor revealed to Amber,a text on his phone-<br style="line-height: 17px;" />It Read :<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />Drink Up 2Night !! <br style="line-height: 17px;" />Block 5 Number 66 <br style="line-height: 17px;" />Its already started so make your way A.S.A.P<br style="line-height: 17px;" />No drink/weed/rizla - NO ENTRY Casj. <br style="line-height: 17px;" />From : Nate<br style="line-height: 17px;" />At : 8:36pm Tuesday 30th July 2011 <br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />He looked at her expectantly praying she would go along with him.She looked up at him.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />"You sure you want to be seen walking with pregnant chick ?"She asked smiling.I rolled my eyes as she laughed lightly-jumping up to search her suitcases for something to wear..<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Taylor-who was already dressed appropriately left the room and proceeded down the stairs to notify his mum of his new-found motive. <br style="line-height: 17px;" />He found her In the kitchen.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Slumped over the counter.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Passed Out.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />A bottle of Wray&Nephews white rum lay next to her.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />Empty. <br style="line-height: 17px;" />Yes,- it is unfortunate but It happens that Danielle is an alcoholic;<br style="line-height: 17px;" />The stress of 2kids,3jobs and numerous bills led her to comfort drinking.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />For the past five to six years, Taylor would come home in the afternoon and find his mother disoriented; He made attempts to talk to her -but what came out of her mouth would not make any sense. <br style="line-height: 17px;" />Occasionally, she would lie down on the couch and suddenly fall asleep, just like that. <br style="line-height: 17px;" />At the time, Taylor was too young to know what exactly was going on;but as young as he was-he quickly caught on as he noticed the half empty bottles of hard liquor in the cabinets and bin.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />He would sometimes walk in on her mixing some liquor in with a soft drink for him not to notice later on... <br style="line-height: 17px;" />Yes behind the strong willed facade danielle showed - was a broken,alcoholic.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />-<br style="line-height: 17px;" />I carried mum bridal style up the stairs and into her room,laying her softly on her bed and walked straight out again- not forgetting to put the baby monitor next to her.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />I shut the door gently behind me,- as Amber exited my room.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />She was rocking high waist denim jeans,white high-top AF's,a white belly top,A Black boyfriend blazer and a thick 90's baby gold chain.<br style="line-height: 17px;" />I blatantly looked her over and winked,she grinned and locked my arm with hers,as we descended down the stairs.<br style="line-height: 17px;" /><br style="line-height: 17px;" />-<br style="line-height: 17px;" />There is gonna be more new characters coming in the next 2 shapters - please read em' closely cause they are the base for the big things that happen lataa onn <br style="line-height: 17px;" />Umm comment !
