Chapter 3

Mary

That night i wondered what the whole story for Emma’s, being here was. Emma went to bed early. Claire and i started to talk. I decided to bring it up in the conversation.
"Can ye tell me the whole story now; i didn't want to ask earlier with Emma sitting with us". “Well, Emma has problems and her mum gave her a letter but her mum told her not to open it until she was on the train.”
“Omg Emma has problems at home?”
“Yea she has”
“What’s the problem then?”
“Errmm is that Emma’s mum couldn’t go on anymore and so she killed herself” “omfg, what…?” and I was really shocked and feeling sorry for her, I couldn’t believe what had happen to Emma and that her mum just killed herself.
“Also her dad was drunk and abused her that time and that’s why she came to London because she wants to be away from her dad.
“ I don’t believe that her dad abused her”
“yeah, her dad did abuse her and he was drunk”

We both stayed up most of the night, the next morning Emma woke up and she said “Claire, so you told Mary then?”
“Yes, I did and she was shocked that your dad could do such a thing”

I gave Emma a big hug and then we had to get dressed up to meet Mark. Me and Emma just said hi and Mark gave a big hug to Emma. Emma just smiled at Mark and he smiled back. We went to a restaurant that was really nice. Emma looked like she wanted to cry but she was just showing her emotional side. Mark and Claire were talking and they were giggling.
Me and Emma just talked quietly.

The menu came and we ordered our meal, Marks phone rang
Mark said “I invited my friend called Nicky if it’s ok with you gals?”
“Sure we don’t mind, more the merrier”.
And then his friend came, he was called Nicky.

“Damn, he’s gorgeous” and I started to blush, my cheeks turned red and he winked at me. I couldn’t stop starring at him. Mark introduced Nicky to all of us. Our food came to our table; Emma didn’t want to eat.
“Hey. You guys im just going outside for a breath of fresh air”
“ok, and then if you need us just shout”.

We soon finished our food and headed off to my place again. Me and Nicky were the last to finish our food Nicky quickly sneaked in, “can I have ye mobile number? I started to giggle; “of course” I didn’t have any paper so I ripped off a piece of napkin and scribbled it down quickly as I ran to catch up with ma gals. It was a long time before we got back to ma place. I turned the key of my door and the girls ran in excitedly for some reason?

They pulled me to sit on the coach and asked, “So what did he say?”
“We saw you 2 sneaking something in rite?”
“Did u have a little snog?” We all giggled.
“No of course not.”
“so what did he say then?”
“Eh?”
“Come on spit it out!”
“No he just asked me for my number nothing special!” Just as then my mobile rang “it’s him it’s him” said Emma and Claire
"Hiya Nicky"
" Would u like to come out with me sometime?"

I heard Claire and Emma saying “Ooooh go Mary, go Mary!”, I felt my face flush in hotness and I knew that I was blushing. I stammered trying to explain to Nicky after hearing him chuckle on the phone, it was obvious that he heard the girls in the background.

I gasped in horror as Claire snatched my mobile phone off me telling Nicky that I would love to go out with him. I was horrified! I tried to get my phone off her but she wouldn’t give it back, she motioned for Emma to get a pen and paper and started scribbling whatever he was saying. She sent a smirk at me after finishing the phone call. Emma burst out laughing at my face. She still had her sunglasses on, I wondered briefly whether she would take it off but she would when she felt she was ready. I still couldn’t believe her father would do such a thing. Claire handed me the piece of paper, I couldn’t help but stare. I blushed, remembering how hot Nicky was. I had never met such a gorgeous guy like him before. God, I sound like a schoolgirl!
