just around the corner

Lauren heard them.

How could Josh do this to her? She squinted back tears. This was disgusting as far as she was concerned. How could they? How was she suppose to be now? She couldn't trust Josh. She instantly hated him, but she didn't want him to know how she felt, either. She crawled out of the wardrobe and got on her clothes and crawled her way out of his apartment through the bedroom window. She had to get out of there before she went mad.

Her head was spinning in anger by the time she reached the street. She had never hated anyone quite as much as Josh. She wasn't sure how she felt about her sister. Something had to be going on with her, but what? Josh was her best mate, and she was wanting him to fuck her. What sort of reasoning was that? Sucidial? Perhaps?

She walked the streets and soon enough it began to rain. The thought of going home made her even more upset. It was then she saw Gaz in the alley.

"What are you doing here?" She quizzed him.

"Fuck you!" He was being a snot, as usual.

"Do you want too?" She was solemn about his attitude.

Gaz just gritted a scowl. He was soaked. She was soaked. Perhaps if she'd seen a dog, she would have had a go at him too.

"Come on, will you." Her dad was off at the pub. No one was home. He looked around then as if to see if anyone was watching. They weren't. He followed  Lauren home.
