Need You Now
Charlie's P.O.V.
We had been talking for about 5 minutes, when an older woman around the age of 35 walked out.
"Laney darling, who is this?" she questioned.
She sighed, "Mom, this is Charlie our neighbor. Charlie this is my mother-"
Her mom cut in, "I'm Elizabeth."
"I was getting there Mother." she sneered.
I laughed, and stood up and shook her mother's hand.
"I'm Charlie. My mother and I live next door, and she's actually cleaning right now, but wanted me to introduce myself. She will be over later I'm sure. She loves new people." I told Elizabeth.
"That's great!", she smiled. "Do you think you guys would come over for a backyard barbacue tonight, say around 6:30?"
"Mom. I hadn't gotten there yet." Laney complained.
It was very cute to watch her whine.
"I think we could be up for that." I grinned at Laney.
A little smile escaped her lips.
"Mm, but first I have an arrend to run." I explained.
"It's alright, I still have to finish unpacking." Laney spoke before her mother got the chance.
"Well, when I finish my arrend, and of course if your mother doesn't mind, maybe I could help." I smiled.
This time her mother took the chance to talk, "I wouldn't mind at at all. But her father might."
My breath caught in my throat, and I started to couch.
"Sorry, its just.. I mean..Uhm, I forgot people have dad's I have to meet. Not having one gives that effect." I explained.
Sh*t, I just let that cat out of the bag.
"I'm sorry. What happened?" asked Laney in her british accent.
I let a big breathe of air go, blowing my bangs up in the process.
"My father passed away due to his own stupidity. I rather not talk about. I did just meet you." I smirked, trying to lighten the mood.
We all listened, and heard her dad yell, "All the boxes are done."
I laughed, "Well, I'll guess I'll see you at dinner."
She smiled, and waved, "Bye."
"Bye" her mother said afterwards.
"Bye." I replied, "It was nice meeting you."

I was standing by the big oak tree in the back of the park when Jason walked over.
"What's up, bro? You got the sh*t?" Jason asked.
"Shut up. Keep your head low, and here." I said, handing him a bag full of weed.
"You didn't get it from me. Got it?"
"Got it." he said, stuffing it in his pocket and running off.
