PIPPAS POV:

I wake up on a Saturday morning to the sound of my alarm clock on my phone....

'love me love me say that you love me fool me fool me oh how you do me kiss me kiss me say that you miss me..'

Sliding my finger across the screen of my iPhone the song stops.

Today's Saturday which mean I have to go and work at my local music shop but I don't mind at all. In fact I love it because all it means if I get to sit there all day and play instruments while serving the odd customer.

Getting out of bed I quickly change into a pair of shorts and the music shops t-shirt.

Skipping down the stairs I walk into the kitchen and open the cupboard grabbing a bowl as my mom walks into the kitchen.

"Good morning sweety" my mom said happily.

It's good to see her happy for once she's been really down ever since my dad left us a few months ago for some bitch I don't know. To be honest I'm glad he's gone he used to be so horrible and awful.....but I don't want to talk about that right now.

"Hi mom" I said before grabbing some cereal and pouring the milk into my bowl.

Grabbing a spoon I go and sit at the kitchen table and begin eating.

"Pj can you do me and wake up your brother when you go back upstairs" my mom asked.

"Sureee" I groaned hearing her using my childhood nickname 'pj'

Dylan is my younger brother he's 8 and a pain in the butt. But without him I wouldn't have been able to get threw everything.

Throwing my bowl in the sink I went upstairs and stopped outside my brothers door which was covered in Spider-Man stickers and posters.

Knocking gently on the door I opened it.

"Dylan, Mom says it's time to get up"I spoke gently.

Nothing.

"Dylan I said it's time to get up" I repeated.

Nothing...again.

Walking further into his room I stood at the end of his bed.

"Dylan I'm going to say it one more time before I wake you up myself"I stated

This time I heard a grumble but still no response so walking round to face him I began to tickle his neck knowing he hates it.

"OKAY OKAY IM GETTING UP JESUS CHRIST PIPPA! STOP!" He shouted

"Say please" I chuckled

"PLEASE STOP" he whined.

"Okay I've stopped but get dressed and out of bed" i said as I began to walk out of the room.

Walking back into my own room I brushed my teeth fixed my hair into a messy bun and put on a bit of concealer and a swipe of mascara before grabbing my bag and leaving my room.

"I'm going to work mom!" I shouted before grabbing a apple from the fruit bowl and heading towards the door.

"Okay hunny text me later when your coming home!" She smiled.

Shutting the door behind myself I walked out into the sunshine and began heading towards work.

After the short ten minute walk to the music shop I walked into the shop saying hi to my boss and putting my bags down and heading out into the shop.

I sat down behind the counter and began to spin on the chair in boredom at the lack of people in the store.

Grabbing a guitar I began to play one of my favourite songs by justin bieber Be Alright.

I began humming the familiar tune in my head and before I knew it I was singing out load whilst I was in a little world of my own.

"Across the ocean across the sea staring to forget the way you look at me now..."

I then hear the faint sound of the bell of the store door opening but I carry on singing and playing guitar.

That's when I spun the chair round to see who had just entered the shop and it seemed unreal...
