Angel
Gemma walked into the living room and it all came back to her. The day that she stood there and watched her life crumble away , how could this happen? Why her? Things like this didn�t happen in real life, they happened in films, but no this was real. Her parents were dead. Gone. Never coming back. Who would have thought that just driving down the street to the supermarket could kill you? Such an innocent thing, innocent people, they didn�t deserve this, Gemma�s parents didn�t deserve to die and she didn�t deserve to be left on her own. Now she was living with her aunty who lived alone. The social worker thought that it would be a great idea, then they�d both have company , but she was wrong, Gemma�s aunty was very strange she hardly spoke to Gemma and whenever Gemma tried to talk to her she would just stop her and say she was too busy to talk or she didn�t care. This hurt Gemma as she felt like her aunty didn�t really want to look after her and didn�t care that for Gemma, talking about her parents helped her. But, only 1 year and then she could move out and live on her own. This was the first time gemma had been home since she found out, she had come to get her things so she just wanted to do it quickly and get out of there as there was too many bad memories. However as she walked through the living room she couldn�t help but stop and look around. The room that had once been full of cheer and laughter now looked abandoned, empty and dirty. Gemma�s eyes brimmed with tears as she thought back to all the Christmas� and birthdays that had been spent in this house with her parents, now there would be no more. She went and got her stuff as quickly as she could because she couldn�t bear to stay there any longer. When gemma got back the house was typically quiet with the only sound coming from the television. Gemma�s aunties eyes were fixed on the screen and she didn�t even bother to say hi. Gemma went to her room and lay on her bed, she needed a friend, she needed some one she could talk to but she didn�t know anyone around this area, she hardly knew her aunty. With this gemma decided to go out, if her aunty didn�t want to take her out she�d find somewhere to go on her own! She walked down the large posh streets and through a small opening onto a long path with trees and bushes either side. Gemma was quite scared but whats the worst that could happen? So she carried on. Soon the path came to an end but there was an opening in some bushes and when gemma looked through them she saw a park. It looked quiet and abandoned and no one was there so she decided to go and sit on a swing for a bit as there was nothing else to do. She got out her ipod and listened to her favourite band, mcfly. She was listening to the song I�ll be ok and saying to herself �I�ll be ok� as if!� Just then she spotted someone out of the corner of her eye, the most gorgeous boy she had ever seen, tall, brown hair, beautiful blue eyes and not only that but he was the lead singer of the band she was listening to! � erm, hi� he said �I�m danny.� �hi, im gemma� she replied in shock. When danny looked at her he got butterflies in his stomach and felt like all the stress of his job and family had gone away. Gemma felt exactly the same way, and this was clear as they got along so well. After all this stress she had gone through she had finally found some one who would listen and comfort her. Gemma tried not to go on about her parents because if danny was a typical boy he would run a mile at the first sign of tears! But he was different he would listen and ask her questions about them. Gemma began to cry, it was quite overwhelming trying to forget about her parents then all of a sudden talking bout them as if they were still here. � oh, I�m sorry, was I asking too many questions? I�m such an idiot I can�t believe I didn�t realise I was upsetting you!� said danny starting to walk away, he thought that he had blown it, the one girl he really liked and he has to go and ruin it! �wait, where are you going?� Gemma shouted after him, danny turned around, �oh well I didn�t think you�d want to talk to me anymore� he said �of course I do you�re the nicest person I know right now, please don�t go, it�s just�� gemma stopped, she decided not to carry on. �it�s just what?� he asked curiously, �well,� gemma took a deep breath � you didn�t upset me at all, I really like you, and you have been so sweet to me, I didn�t want to lose you.� �I really like you too.� replied danny, Gemma burst into to tears, not because of her parents but because of how nice danny was to her. Danny took hold of her and held her tight. Gemma felt safe in his arms and never wanted him to let go, it was like as soon as she found out her parents had died she didn�t feel safe or loved anymore, she was alone, scared and unnoticed. But when danny was there she was suddenly a person again who was loved and happy. Danny gently kissed the top of her head then looked at his watch. �oh my god!� he said, �it�s half eleven!� Gemma knew that she should be getting home now but she would give anything to stay with danny and knew that her aunty wouldn�t even realise if she never went back! �I want you to come back to mine,� Gemma started to panic, she wondered if he meant for sex, �why?� she asked trying to sound casual, �well with everything you told me I want to make sure your safe, I want to hold you in my arms all night, even while you�re sleeping.� �but I won�t need you if I�m sleeping will I?� she said trying to prove him wrong, but making sure it was in a flirty way, �well I want to stay with you just in case you need me and anyway, you shouldn�t have to go back to your wicked aunty, you don�t deserve that, I never want to see tears coming from your eyes ever again.� Gemma smiled and let him lead her to his house. It was quite a long walk to danny�s, but it was a beautiful night and how could she get bored with company like danny? Gemma was shivering in the wind so danny gently rested his coat on her shoulders. Gemma breathed in danny�s sweet smell and snuggled up under his arm. Continue |
