LMPYITP: The Random Passages

A Leaf Out of Everybody's Book

           

"Are we gonna go this whole train ride without speaking?" Noel asked as I stared out the window. "It's like I'm talkin' to me fuckin' self!"

            I turned from the window and stared at him quietly.

            "Please just say summat." He stared right back at me. "Anythin'. We can even talk about Jet if ya'd like."

            I giggled. "You always sound so desperate when you bring up Jet." I told him.

            He raised his eyebrows. "Well what am I-"

            "You say Liam's the one who needs entertained but you're really not much different!"

            He tutted and looked away.

            I turned back to the window and gazed out at the passing green. I could see Noel shifting around in his seat across from me out of the corner of my eye. I tried not to pay any attention to him and just focused on my daydreaming.

            A few seconds later, he stood up, came over, and sat down in the seat beside me.

            "Hello, Grandfather!" He beamed.

            I chuckled and playfully backhanded him on the nose.

            "Ugh!" He rubbed his nose. "What the fuck have I done to deserve this abuse?"

            "Oh stop!" I exclaimed waving my hand at him.

            "Ya still owe me a birthday present, y'know!" He remarked pointing at me.

            I twisted my face in confusion. "What the heck are you talking about? I already gave you your presents!"

            "No you didn't!" He shook his head. "Ya made me sit through fuckin' Fifty Shades of Shite and drink wine that's too fuckin' sweet-"

            "Oh, you poor thing!" I yelled throwing my hands up in sarcasm.

            "I thought it were gonna be a bit a softcore porn or summat but it-"

            "Oh my God! Please stop talking!"

            He grumbled sitting back in his seat. "Ya still owe me a fuckin' birthday present!" He snapped.

            I rolled my eyes. "My presence is a present!" I informed him.

            He tutted in a giggle.

            Things were quiet for a few seconds until Noel spoke again.

            "So have ya given Our Kid's new song a listen yet?" He asked.

            "Yeah." I replied. "It's good. Better than Beady Eye...but the music video's kinda weird."

            He shook his head. "Music videos are always weird. Fuckin' pointless. Never go along with anything the song is about."

            I don't know if I agreed with Noel's opinion for every music video. Sure, there were some that were bizarre but there were also some that were good. Take for example the video for Jet's "Bring It On Back". Nic's acting skills were absolutely lovely...and he wasn't bad looking either.

            The music video for Liam's new song had him dancing around like a member of a boy band missing his group. It was weird to see him by himself but the song was definitely catchy.
