It's now Tuesday and I'm sat with Alex in some random park he's showed me to.
"So what are you thinking?" I ask
"I have no idea" he says
"Well what would you like to talk about, what point would you like to get across" I ask him
"I want to ask for more support given to kids after care. When your eighteen your just dumped and forgotten about" he says
"Good. Now, start off with introducing yourself" i say and he writes notes down, "add a little joke if you want but it's not protocol"
"Say a little about your experiences, good and bad. Share with them your experience and make them feel apart of what it's like. Inform them, make it detailed but not too detailed they'll forget everything" I say, "simple and complex at the same time"
"Then move onto you saying how long you have left of your time in care, say you've been working at the cafe for five years to build up a college fund even though you don't know what you want to do with your life yet. Let them know about how unsupported it makes you feel how in a few months you have to leave with no place to go, no idea of any future that lies ahead of you" i say.

"....And that is why people in care need more support after leaving care. Thank you" he says and i smile
"Alex that was amazing" i say
"I mean you've got most of the credit, you wrote it" he says
"No, we wrote it" i say
"So what are you doing now?" He asks me
"Nothing, I've done all my homework so I've got fuckall to do before I work three nights in a row" I say
"What to do something?" He asks, " I am not going back to that care home, i hate it at the minute it's so chaotic"
"Okay, what should we do then?" I ask
"There's a mini golf place, we could go there" he says
"Yeah why not, but I'm afraid to tell you that I will absolutely be awful at it" i say and he smiles
"I'm afraid to tell you that I'll be the same" he says and i laugh

"Come on Ella it's not difficult" he says
I flip him off, I'm really angry.
Really really fucking angry.
I've been trying to get the golf ball in the hole for ages, thirteen tries and Alex got it in three.
"I give up" i say
"Come on just don't wack it" he says and i put my hands on my hips
"But-"
"Just give it here" he says and I just stand there
"Place your legs shoulder width apart" he says and I do so
"Bend your knees slightly and just hold the club how you normally would" he says and i do so
"Then" he says coming to stand behind me I suddenly get really nervous.
His hands move down my arms and he places his hands brush below mine, "one, two, three"
We, or should I say he swings the club and the ball goes straight in the hole.
I'm not even focusing on the golf anymore, all I can think about is how close he is to me.
"Just like that" he says huskily down my ear and I almost collapse right there
I turn around in his arms to face him and he glances to my lips slightly.
My heart is practically beating out of my chest.
Why do I kind of want him to kiss me?
What are you doing lily?
No this isn't good.
He steps back slightly, "we should move to the next one"
I clear my throat, "yeah"
I just stand there as he walks to the next one and he turns around and looks at me, "are you coming?"
"Right" i say walking after him and he just has an amused expression on his face.
I ignore him and walk past him before putting the ball down on the fake grass.
I gasp and turn around to him, "we should go to a total wipeout course"
"I've actually already done one of them" he tells me
"What was it like?" I ask him
"It was fun, I won" he says
"Of course you did" I say and he smirks
I turn my attention back to the golf and I gently hit the ball and it goes straight in.
"Oh my god!" I say excitedly
"Did you see that!" I say turning to him and he just smiles at me
"Look who's the pro now" i say and he laughs

"I can't believe you scored over a hundred points" he says with a laugh
"Okay Alex, you won. What do you want a medal?" I ask
"Yes that would be nice thank you" he says and I glare at him
"Thanks for your help today" Alex says and we stop outside of my house. It's now seven o'clock
"No problem, I had fun" i say
"Me too" he says
"I better go, thanks for the lift and I'll see you tomorrow" i say
"No problem" he says and I get out of his car
I walk into the house and I'm greeted but Lydia and Izzy.
"What?" I ask
"You've been with him all day?" Lydia asks
"Don't start" i say before walking past them
"Something happened didn't it!" Izzy says
"Shut up" i say
"Oh my god something happened!" Lydia and sissy equal and i walk into my room
"What happened, did you kiss?" Lydia asks
"I'm not telling you two shit, nothing happened anyway. Now get out" i say
They both look at each other before sitting down on my bed.
"Come on, tell us" Izzy says
"Fuck off" I say before walking into my bathroom
