Future 17 Chapter 5

The next day, I woke up at the same time as mum, who had bags under her eyes.
"How was the pub?" I asked

"Fine, how was last night?" she said sounding tired

"Wonderful." I said, dreaming of what had happened last night.

"Wow that spaghetti must of been good then." mum said, but before I could say anything she had closed the door of bathroom. I grabbed my dressing gown and went down stairs to make some toast. I was looking for the jam when I saw a tiny piece of paper, it read:
I really enjoyed last night. Do you wanna come over to my house next weekend? I've got a surprise! Love Joey xxx

I thought of what the surprise could be. I then remembered that it was my birthday next Saturday, I wondered if Joey knew that. I don't remember many things now. Especially when I'm with Joey. Time flys by when I'm with him. I smiled at the thought of Joey, when mum walked in
"what are u smiling at?" she asked being as nosy as ever

"Why is it under any of your concern?" I smirked "Anyway when's dad back?"

"not for ages, like next week sometime." mum replied, I said nothing but sat down with only butter on my toast as we had no jam.
The weekend flew by and before I knew it was Wednesday.
I went to my first lesson, science. Not very interesting, it never is. As Joey walked in I saw all the girls stare at him even though they knew perfectly well he was with me. As he walked past me, he squeezed my shoulder and smiled at me. I smiled back and I noticed all the other girls mimicking what I had done and laughing at it.
At lunch I started to feel sick, Joey said I started to go pale. I kept saying that I was fine and that its probably just because I'm tired, deep down I knew it was a lie and I think Joey knew it too but he didn't say anything. At the end of the day Joey insisted that he drove me home I said
"Ok, if it makes you happy but I'm fine."
He dropped me off but just before I got out he brushed my hair back behind my ear and smiled. His smooth hands made me more calm and relaxed
"I'm sorry I've been so harsh and snappy but Im honestly fine, see ya tomorrow." he waved good bye and drove off. I felt guilty that I had lied. As I knocked on the door of my house, the noise of knocking seemed louder in my head. Louder and louder. I felt my heart slowing down and all I remember is my knees giving way to the weight of my body and the coldness of the Tarmac against my head. My eyes shut.
