josh

simon and i sit in comfortable silence as we slowly crawl forward in traffic,

"damn this pisses me off" i growls as i bang the wheel making simon jump.

"sorry, i'm just a little frustrated at the traffic" i apologize,

"it's ok" simon says rolling down his window.

we crawl another 200 meters and see some guys broken down next to the road,

"hey pass me my phone!" the man standing on the side of the road says to his child,

"here you go daddy" the little girl smiles handing it to him.

"thanks princess, hello? hello yes! i'm in need of help, my wife's pregnant, our cars broken down, we're in the middle of traffic, basically up ship creek" the man huffs.

xix-say 'ship creek' aloud lol-xix

"mommy daddy said shit creek!" the girl squeals and jumps back into the car,

"no i said ship creek!" we dot hear the rest of his conversation because we have pulled away,

simon rolls up his window and looks at me.

"well that happened."

--

as we walk in the door i place my keys down taking off my coat,

"want anything to eat?" i ask simon as i head for the kitchen.

"no, just a tea thank you" he says quietly as he follows me in, sitting on a stool,

"ah, tea. can't get more british then that" i chuckle.

"can i have a scone too then?" he says picking his head up,

"now you're pushing it buddy" i wave my authority finger at him,

he pouts and slouches down on my island bench.

"did you want to talk about it?" i ask as i close the lid on the kettle,

"well, not really. but i do at the same time" he mumbles.

"i understand, tell me when you're ready. milk?" i ask as i take the tea bag out,

"no thanks" he says and i hand him my drink.

i go to tell him something when my phone goes off,

i check it to see ethan texted;

ethan: yo you coming to freezy and lux's party tonight?

"hey simon, you know those two lads at school that are called freezy and lux?"

"yeah, why?" he asks taking a sip of his drink,

"i forgot his party is tonight, ethan asked if i wanted to go. so, do you want to go?"

"why're you asking me? you can go by yourself and have fun with your friends,"

"no, i don't want to leave you here. besides, i don't leave friends behind."

--

"you ready?" i squeeze simon's hand,

"yeah" he says as music blares from the house.

we walk inside and the smell of alcohol and sweaty teenagers hit ls my nose,

"isn't it supposed to be a dry party?" simon shouts over the music as i lead him towards the drinks.

"have you seen their party's? one time everyone was drunk and the police rocked up and some drunk dude yelled 'fuck da police' and then we had about 100 drunk white teens yelling 'fuck da police'. believe me, it was a scene" i chuckle at the memory as i grab myself some 'punch'.

"want some?" i ask,

"i really don't want to be sober right now, so yes" he smiles and grabs a straw sipping it quietly.

"geez, that's strong" he makes a sour face,

"wait till you try 'cucumber' vodka, then you'll be on the shitter all next day" i chuckle as i drag him through the crowd into the garden.

"hey! josh! you made it!" i look over to see harry waving us over,

"hey boys" i smile,

"i see you've already found the drinks" ethan chuckles whacking me on the back.

"couldn't resist"

"hey guys! i meet this dude today, he seemed chill so i brought him along!" harry giggles as he runs into the crowd of drunk teens.

"who do you think he's found this time?" tobi asks,

"maybe it's another indie kid, that last guy finn was a total nutcase" ethan laughs.

"here he is!" harry smiles pointing to the guy we met at nandos.

"hello, i'm Olajide Olatunji. but please, call me jj" he smiles at us.

"it's good to meet you" tobi shakes his hand.

he shakes everyone's and winks at me and simon.

"i don't like his character, it's a bit intimidating" i hear simon whisper in my ear,

i just nod.

ethan opens his mouth to say something when someone interrupts him.

"hey! jj! you're not getting away from me this time!" we all look up to see a tall blonde like simon stumbling out of the crowd glaring daggers at jj,

"don't run off like that!" the kid scolds jj.

"you're not my mom" jj says,

"shut it, oh by the way i'm lachlan power" he smiles at everyone.

"that's tobi, ethan, harry and i'm josh" i smile introducing every own,

he smiles and looks at all of us.

i notice he looks at simon and frowns,

"but he's a ghost."
