LMPYITP: The Random Passages

... for the Silver Screen

"I need yer to go to London with me." Noel said one morning.

            "No." I replied.

            "Please, Jules? I don't really wanna go on me jack. We could get the train-"

            "Where we goin'?"

            "To a film premiere." He revealed. "They wanna interview me."

            "Take someone else." I suggested.

            "Like who?"

            "He's slightly taller than you. Slightly younger than you-"

            "He's got a busted nose. He can't go!" He shook his head.

            "What d'ya mean he can't?" I asked.

            "He won't! He's too superficial and worried about his good looks to be arsed for summat like this."

            I crossed my arms. "Too superficial to be arsed for summat like this? If I recall it was you who wasn't arsed the last time for-"

            "Well, I couldn't go if he were there could I?" He said.

            "Of course not!" I threw my hands up in sarcastic agreement.

            "Dad's pissed, y'know." Gene told me as he stood leaning against the bathroom doorframe while I did my hair and makeup in front of the mirror. "And I can't say that I blame him!"

            I rolled my eyes. "We're just goin' for Noel's interview." I reminded him. "We ain't stayin' to watch the movie 'cuz we're seein' it tomorrow in Cleveland. Look after your dad and we'll see yins at Heathrow." I finished up and stepped past him back out of the bathroom.

            I went into me and Liam's bedroom and found it empty. I gazed around knowing full well it wasn't though...and right where to look.

            I opened the closet door and found Liam sat on the floor inside it.

            He scowled up at me before grabbing the door and sliding it shut again.

            I sighed. "Liam-"

            "You said we was goin' to Cleveland not London!" He exclaimed through the closed door. "Yer never said you was goin' to London. With him!"

            "He sprung it on me this mornin'. He don't wanna go alone-"

            "Fuck off!"

            I stayed quiet as I tried to think of what to say.

            And then, the door slid open.

            "Do we have to take the train?" Liam asked calmly but worriedly.

            "That was the plan." I replied with a nod. "That way we don't have to leave a car parked at the airport."

            "I don't like takin' the train. I'm too afraid I'm gonna fall down the gap."

            "That's why you mind it." I sat down across from him.

            He stared at me. "Are we to sleep on the plane?"

            "We can. And when we wake up we'll be in Cleveland."

            Noel and I took our bags with us to London. It would've been too much to have Liam and Gene deal with them.

            I got the window seat and gazed out it for a while thinking about our trip and what to expect once we got there. "Y'know, Sara's gonna kill me if she finds out I'm with you." I mused.
