Life unexpected

Chapter 3

Adele pov
It was dark by the time my shift at Nandos was finished. I still could not believe that I had smiled, it was so rare. During the time that niall was there he kept looking over at me and smiling. And at the end he gave a twenty pound tip. I was touching it gently with my finger tips, quite shocked at his generosity.

I stomped through the rain until eventually I got to my house I took my hand, which was shaking from cold, and got my keys out of my bag. When the door was unlocked I stepped in and went straight to the kitchen where I put the kettle on.

After a few minutes I was tucked up on the sofa wrapped in a duvet with a cup of mushroom soup in my hands. It was bliss.
I had some bread dipped in the soup then I went upstairs and changed into my pajamas. I went downstairs again and started doing the days homework. I was definitely not going to that detention tomorrow; I had not even gone to the one today so there was no point in going to the one tomorrow.

Somehow my mind always seemed to wander back to Niall. He had been so nice and he did not even known me.He was the only one who had made me feel slightly good about myself in about 2 years. He was the only one I had actually made me smile and it felt good. I smiled again and it felt so nice. When I had done my homework I decided to read my book. It was game of thrones series. They had been my brothers. After reading it for a long time I decided to go to bed seeing as it was quite late.

I collapsed into my bed and immediately fell asleep.

The next day

When I woke up today it was still thundering and the rain was lashing against my window. I sighed, why was it always raining? Stepping out of bed I put my feet down onto the wooden floor and stood up. I had a quick shower and then decided to wear black jeans and a very dark grey crop top with a black jumper on top. Again I wore my black docs and did basically the same make up as yesterday.
I dried my hair then through it up into a messy pony tail. Grabbing my art folder and bag I went downstairs and made a cup of tea. Tea was my addiction I had about 13 cups a day and when I did not drink it I got really bad migraines. I took my fur hooded coat and pulled it on before grabbing an apple and heading out the door before pulling my hood up and inserting my ear phone in.

The rain was getting heavier every minute and I was soon jogging to the bus stop. The bus came just as I sat down and I quickly got on before sitting at the back. I literally had the same routine every day and it was getting so boring.

When my family had been alive I would where floral stuff and I did light makeup. Every day I would skip downstairs to discover that my mum had made me heart shaped sandwiches and had packed my bag for me. It had all been so easy. Then that bloody car accident happened. I did not eat properly for weeks. I did not talk to anyone. I just sat in my room and listened to bands screaming in my ears. Believe it or not I used to like Ellie Goulding before the accident but now I like heavy metal and guitars. By the time we got to school the rain had slightly eased of and it was just spitting.

I saw a few laughing year sevens running past me as they tried to be on time. I really did not care, I had got so many late marks that they had given up on me. Not even bothering to go to form I decided to go to the woods. I trudged through the slimy twigs and mouldy leaves until I came to my spot. It was not anything special, just a tree near another tree so the branches were entwined, it was nice because I used it as a swing and I would just sit there for hours brooding about nothing.

Today I felt a craving and took one of my cigarettes out. I lit it and deeply breathed the smoke in taking a deep sigh of relief. I did not know what I would do without my cigarettes. I sat there smoking until I had finished the cigarette then I took another out. What was the point trying to stop? Who would care if I died of lung cancer? No-one. I had no-one in the world who actually gave a shit about me so why bother. If it pleased me, who cares?

On the way back to school I was pushing through the bushes when a branch from a thorn bush pierced the skin on my right hand. I sucked the blood of and inspected the wound. Seeing as it was not deep I did not see the point in treating it so I decided to leave it.

I was just about to come out of the woods when I suddenly saw amber and her posy coming along. I ducked back behind the bush and listened to their conversation.

“No you can’t cause I like him.”

“No you like harry, remember.” I heard amber say.

“Well I like Niall now, so what are you going to do?” said one of her friends

“Why are you being such a bitch, you are ugly any way, Niall would never like an ugly bitch like you.” Amber said her squeaky voice.

I heard someone sobbing then feet running away.
Not wanting to face amber I decided to leave school and not go at all today. I crept out of the back exit and went into the street before heading to my favorite café, ‘bales’ I went in and greeted the woman at the counter by name. She came over with a coffee. I only knew her because she used to be my mums closest friend.

“It’s on the house love.” She said in a cockney accent.

I muttered thanks before drinking it and heading back out into London. Where I proceeded in heading towards the Covent Garden area. I was startled when I heard loads of screaming and shouting so I headed over to the area where it had come from.

There was a crowd of school children and teenagers I am guessing that the children were on a school trip or something. Suddenly I felt a heavy hand on my shoulder. I turned round ready to defend myself from a rapist but I found myself again staring up into the blue sparkling eyes of Niall Horan.

“Your hand is bleeding really badly.” He said his face laced with concern.

Then suddenly his eyes widened with recognition.

“Wait, you’re the girl from nandos.”
