Harder To Breathe, chapter 3
*Still Tre's P.O.V*
"Tre Who's Cheese did you knick this time?" Claudia asked walking out of the kitchen with the cheese in her hand.
"Emma's" I simply stated not taking my eyes off the TV.
"Well can you at least take it back?" she said throwing the cheese into my lap then walking back into the kitchen. I sighed, picked the cheese up and walked towards the door.
Half an hour later I finally decided to take the cheese back. I walked across they street and opened the door to Emma's house to be greeted by her and sum guy making out,
"I... Urm... Brought your cheese back" I said covering my eyes with my hands.
"Tre!?!?! What the fuck are you doing here?" Emma asked shocked.
"Dint I just say I brought your cheese back?" I asked still covering up my eyes.
"Urm Tre you haven't got to cover your eyes nothings showing" she said, I let out a sigh of relief and removed my hand from my eyes.
"I'll just go put this in the fridge and leave you to urm get it on" I said and walked into the kitchen. 'Wow that was weird never thought I would see the day that I walked in on Emma making out with someone' I thought to myself as I put the cheese in the fridge and walked back out.
"Well urm have fun" I said smiling and walked out of the house. I walked back across the street and into my house. I closed the door behind me and slipped off my shoes. I walked into the living room to see Claudia watching some crappy soup.
"Hey I was watching spongebob" I said pouting as I sat down on the sofa beside her.
"Tough Shit" she said not taking her eyes off the TV.
"Your mean" I replied and stuck my tongue out at her even though she wasn't looking at me. I sat back, crossed my arms behind my chest and pouted like a little kid; a smirk appeared on her lips as she watched me from the corner off her eye.
I let out a sigh as I knew she wasn't going to let me watch spongebob.
"Where's Frankie?" I asked suddenly realizing I hadn't heard my constantly hyper son since I got back.
"Bed" she said plainly her eyes still glued to the TV. I glanced down at my watch to see it read 10.30pm I sighed which was soon followed by a yawn.
"Well I'm off to bed to, night" I said standing up and walking to the stairs as I heard her say good night back.
I made my way up the stairs, when I got to the top I made my way towards Frankito's room. I popped my head through the door and smiled to myself. He was lying with his cover over his head and his legs were nearly on the floor.
I walked out of his room pulling the door too slightly and walked down the hall to my room. I closed the door behind me and laid down on my bed and stared at the patterned ceiling. I laid there for a while, don't know how long but I heard Claudia got to bed so it must have been a while. I sighed and sat up on my bed; I pulled my top off over my head and threw it in the corner off my room. I then stripped down into my boxers and got up to turn the light off. I switched it off and walked back towards my bed tripping over my jeans on the way. I climbed under the cover and closed my eyes to try and get some sleep.
*End Tre's P.O./Normal P.O.V*
I found myself walking down that long, lonely road again. It had become my sanctuary, where I came to think or just to be alone, it was always empty no one seemed to live in any of the houses and no one ever walked down it except for one person, me.
I was knocked from my thoughts of a new song by my phone blasting out Armatage Shanks. I stopped walking and pulled the phone out of my pocket, flipped it open and pressed it against my ear.
"Howdy Hey Shanxy" I said into the phone.
"Howdy Ho" she said back in her constantly hyper voice.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Daz has left the band" she said but didn't sound the slightest bit upset.
"WHAT?!?!?!?" I half screamed back.
"Don't worry we have a replacement" she said still happy bout the whole thing.
"Who? It better not be some random person you met in the street" I asked pissed off that he could just leave.
"No, it's Aimz"
"I didn't know she played bass" I asked slightly confused, but glad she had found someone who was cool.
"Neither did I" she said slightly distracted by something that was happening wherever she was.
"K, so is she good?" I asked starting to walk down the road again.
"Why don't you come over and find out"
"Ok I'll be there in a bit"
"Okie Dookie, seeya" she said as we both hung up and I began to make my way to her house.
I walked up the pathway that led to Shanxy's house; I knocked on the door and was soon greeted by her mum.
"Oh Hey Ali, Steph's down in the basement with the others" she said opening the door wider to let me in.
"Ok, Thanks" I said stepping in and making my way down towards her basement.
"Howdy Hey" I said as I walked into the room and over to the beat up sofa's where they were sitting.
I got random hey's from most of them and a howdy ho from Shanxy.
"What ya playing?" I asked realizing Aimz and Jemz playing on the play station.
"Juiced" Aimz replied as she smashed straight into a corner and mumbled something under her breath.
"I play winner" I said while smiling as she muttered something else under her breath before throwing the control on the floor as Jemz crossed the line.
I grabbed the control of the floor and sat in between them. I let Shanxy pick the track and everything before I picked my usual car. After whipping her ass a couple of times she decided to give up.
"So we gunna play or what?" I asked standing up and walking over to the drum kit.
"Urm... yeah I guess" Shanxy said standing up and grabbing her guitar, Jemz and Aimz soon followed.
"So what we gunna play?" Jemz asked while I was getting my drum sticks from the special little box I kept them in.
"Urm... how about Deadbeat Holiday?" Shanxy asked turning towards all of us for an answer.
"Fine with me" Aimz said while adjusting her bass strap on her shoulder, Jemz nodded as I just began to play. They all soon began to join in and we played.

We finished playing and Shanxy turned and looked at me.
"So is she good enough?" she asked smiling at me knowing I was going to say yes.
"She'll do" I said smiling.
I looked down at my watch to see it flashing 2.55pm back at me.
"Shit, I got to go guys" I said standing up and heading towards the door.
"Bye" they all said in unison as I left the room.
I walked down the street as fast as I could, trying to get to my brothers school on time. I managed to arrive just as the bell rang, I walked to the usual place I met him and waited.
A few minutes later I saw him walk out the doors with his friend Ryan. They walked up to me and I smiled at them. They said bye to each other and Ryan ran over to his mum.
I began to make my way back home, which just happened to be around the corner, with Jack following closely behind.
We made are way towards the door, I unlocked it and we walked inside. As we walked in I noticed that my mother was no longer passed out on the sofa and was no where to be seen. 'Where the fuck is she' I thought as I began to search the house for her.
I walked up the stairs and into her bedroom to find her passed out on her bed this time. I sighed and pried the fresh bottle of vodka out of her hands and walked out of the room. I took a huge mouthful of the vodka as I walked down the stairs. I walked into the kitchen and put the vodka back in the cupboard before joining the brother in the living room to watch TV.
"Tre Who's Cheese did you knick this time?" Claudia asked walking out of the kitchen with the cheese in her hand.
"Emma's" I simply stated not taking my eyes off the TV.
"Well can you at least take it back?" she said throwing the cheese into my lap then walking back into the kitchen. I sighed, picked the cheese up and walked towards the door.

"I'll just go put this in the fridge and leave you to urm get it on" I said and walked into the kitchen. 'Wow that was weird never thought I would see the day that I walked in on Emma making out with someone' I thought to myself as I put the cheese in the fridge and walked back out.
