"Oh..where is everyone?!” I mumbled to myself as I shuffled back
from the video
shop. I was feelin’ very low..my girlfriend, my best mates..my
mum....everyone had
forgotten this day..this special day, after all, this day 17 years
ago, Richard Abdin
Breen came into the world....and I was the only one who remembered!
Even the usual
card from my Dad wasn’t in this mornings post...! Perhaps I should
just go back to
bed and forget this day ..just like everyone else!!

“What to get, what to get?” I asked myself franticly. I had half
an hour (well ..that's
all I had given myself coz I wanted to check on Abs!) to buy him a
present..and I
hadn’t a clue!! “A sports cap...nope...how bout a ..basket ball
strip..no, Scott's more
into them...a...ring...chain..braclet..teddie??!!!” I hadn’t a clue
I always leave shopping
till last thing..and then I panic..oh..I’m sooooooooooo disorganised.
“Oh..look...I
would love those!” I thought as I passed the street wear shop and saw
a fab pair of
combats.. “ I’ll just nip in and get em....nah..I need something nice
for tonight...oh.I’ll
get that black dress....and the combats..and a present!” I ran from
shop to shop , like a
mad woman. Eventually i settled on buying Abs a thumb ring..engraved "
To
Abs...love always Ash xxxx". I almost changed my mind about buying
it..in fact on
the bus home ..I changed it about a billion times..perhaps it wasn’t
special
enough..and he did deserve something really special!!

“So..can I tell anyone bout us?” I asked shyly as I sat down to
take a break. “ I
guess...I told Ash..that is ..If there is an us!” She said shortly.
“What does that mean?
there is an us...Isn’t there?” I asked , unsurely. “I guess..but I’m ..I
dunno...” She sounded
as unsure as me. “Its up to you Vix...I’m not gonna push ya...but if
we are...an us..then
I wanna tell people...so i gotta now whats happening..Ok?” I
asked...trying to get to
the bottom of things. Just then Ash burst in the door..red faced and
panting. “I’m
never, I mean..NEVER going shoppping last minute again!!”She sighed ,
throwing
herself into the huge armchair by the fire place. “You always say
that!” Vicki laughed.
“This time I bloody mean it!! I almost killed myself....it was
torture!!” She said,
closing her eyes. “Torture..you wanna know bout torture....well get
aload of this!!” I
said, grabbing a pillow and belting her with it. “Scott....you
freak..I’m gonna.......!”
she yelled, leaping on my back. “Agggggghhhhhhhh...Get’
off..Ash..stop..no...aggghhh!!” I began to yell as she pulled at my
baseball cap. It flew
off..and Ash, flew of withit! “owwwhhhwwwhhwhwhwhwhwhwhwh!!!!!” she
yelled
as she hit the ground. Then pointing at my hair she began to
laugh..and continued to do
so until Vicki mentioned Abs name..”Oh Shit!!” Ash yelled, jumping up
“Gotta go..I
promised Abs I’d meet him..I’m leaving his prezzie here..and my new
dress...see you
guys later!!” She yelled, grabbing her rucksack..and leggin’ it out the
door. Now, once
again, I was left , in an uncomfortable silence , with Vicki..........
