We nursed our hangovers, caught up on outstanding uni work that was due in that week and slept. We slept a lot. My mind wandered once more to the image of the huge pools of blue eyes and I exhaled. I wonder if he’s found Conway? What was that relationship? Why did Harvey not tell me he knew him? I had a million questions I wanted the answers to but I was probably never going to see him again. The thought of never laying my eyes on him again made my stomach churn. I turned to see my mum engrossed in her laptop. I always wondered what she was so involved in. She was a PA for the managing director for a law firm. I was always so proud of everything she did but I wished she’d just slow down for a minute. I placed my books in my handbag and patted her gently on the back, she jumped slightly before she turned her head in my direction.
“I didn’t even realise you were still here?” I smiled down at the expression on her face. It was one of shock. I shrugged. Her hazel eyes looked so tired.
“You were sorting through stuff of your own I suppose?” She nodded and glanced back towards her laptop screen, I gave her a nod before I leant down to kiss her cheek. “I’ll leave you in peace now I promise.” She smiled against my cheek and turned back towards the dining room table. I threw my bag over my shoulder and headed out of my front door. The wind taking it, making it slam shut behind me. I cringed as the sound echoed through the street and made my way towards the university campus.
People were enthralled in the lecture. Today it was all to do with interpretations of songs, different styles of dance etcetera. I had now zoned out. Nothing was registering in my brain. The hall was a good split between young lads and women which had always surprised me. I huffed and felt a familiar dig in my ribs. I stared at Nancy who was smirking at me. Her blue eyes were smiling. No doubt she got laid this afternoon once she’d left mine. I smiled to myself and winked in her direction. She cut me a devilish stare and continued to write down notes while I tossed my pen in my hand and doodled on the piece of paper laid out in front of me. Luckily the rest of the lecture flew by, people started to ask some questions, some not so relevant to the course, which always made for a good laugh and always seemed to come from the same cock sure, tall and typically good looking idiot with no brains. I smiled to myself again and stood from the uncomfortable chair.
“Did you make any notes at all throughout that lecture?” Nancy was gathering her notes and placing them back in her bag. I shrugged. Not really?
“Some yeah?” I gathered up the piece of paper that I’d scribbled on and walked towards the fountain with Nancy. Soph swore she was meeting us there after her lecture. Back to normal routine now.
“Alright Miss fairyland?” Nancy gave me a wide smile. The autumnal sun shone down on her red hair making it glisten in the sun and I nodded.
“I’m fine thank you,” I replied, my voice full of sarcasm. I took my seat on the fountain and rubbed my hands together as the wind swirled around us. It was growing colder, the sun set sooner and I frowned. “I’m just cold and deep in thought.” I finally finished as Nance took her seat next to me.
“It is pretty cold? Good Ol’ England eh?” She cocked her eyebrow up and looked towards the busy gates where our tiny Soph was making her way through crowds of people just to get to us. I giggled at her death stare towards the taller girls who were trying to push her out of the way and watched as she pushed the one blonde back and sent her books flying. We both watched as she darted towards us grinning widely and throwing us a thumbs up. I laughed louder to myself and high fived her. My little fire bucket.
“Well that showed that bitch?” I stifled my laugh and looked up towards Nancy who was scratching her head.
“My brain hurts…” I smiled to myself and placed my arm on her back in an effort to cheer her up.
“Come on, let's go back to yours for a little bit? Or let’s head to the studio?” They both nodded and I smiled, I was now dragging my best friends towards the studio in my little silver Corsa.
Chapter Two
Vens - Wednesday
We flew out that night, we finally found him, a little roughed up but fine. He’s not budging on talking about what happened but I had the feeling that he ruffled the wrong person's feathers.
I paced the hallway of the house and knocked on Chloe’s door. There was no answer. I placed my fist against her door and I knocked again. In one swift movement she opened her door and stood in her white underwear. I held back rolling my eyes.
“Good morning to you too.” My voice was icey. She smiled sweetly and flashed her perfect white teeth at me. I was reminded that this was no laughing matter. Where had he gone again? “Where’s your brother?” Her shoulders slumped as she leant against her door frame.
“I don’t know Haz. He left late like last night? I don’t know where he went. Have you tried his Emails?” I sniggered. Does she think I’m completely stupid?
“Yes Chloe Conway I checked his Emails now we need to find him…” I glanced down at her tits and smirked before she smacked the middle of my chest with some force.
“Stop being a fucking dick Haz. You know if Missy catches
