Alex's POV

Like normal on a school day I was the first one home since my dad was a teacher at the school I went to.
I walked past my neighbors house and noticed another little girl and I knew for a fact they only had two kids and then a boy round my age walked out to the front garden.
I recognized him from somewhere, but where I had no idea so I just walked to my front door and let myself in and just chilled until dad came home.

I was in the middle of homework while listening to music when dad came home.
"Hey Lex, what you doing?" Dad asked and put the kettle on.
"Just finishing off some homework before I start dinner." I said and quickly finished what I was writing and looked up at dad.
"What have you been smoking?" Dad asked with a small chuckle.
"I haven't t smoked anything, but I am due a cigarette break so you joining old man?" I asked and dad threw a new packet of cigarettes at me.
"Yes! No rolling for me for the next few days." I said happily.
"That's only because you did well in that test you had the other day." Dad said and I smiled at him.
"Let's go for a cigarette and then you can make a start on dinner." Dad said.
"I was joking about dinner you know, it's your turn to cook." I said and walked outside not waiting for dad since I've been out of cigarettes for 2 days since I didn't have any money to pay for any until today.

I was sat in my room playing my guitar and seeing if I could write any songs.
"Lex, I need to ask a favor from you." Dad said and walked into my room.
"You know, I could of been mastabating." I said bluntly not looking up but carried on playing my guitar.
"Well I didn't hear you so I knew I was save to come in." Dad said and I looked at him.
"Turn the volume down just a little and maybe do it in the shower, or even better find yourself a boyfriend." Dad said and sat on the floor with me.
"Christ that's embarrassing." I muttered.
"We've all done it." Dad said and I rolled my eyes.
"As for the boyfriend side of things, who would want to be with someone as awkward as me? It's not like I can talk to anyone new without stuttering or going seriously shy." I said.
"Jason saw something in you." Dad said and I looked at him.
"Jason was a cunt who just used me for sex. There was no relationship between us." I said.
"So them times you brought him round?" Dad asked.
"Yeah, I was fucking him. Now I'm not talking about my sex life." I said and got up and put my guitar back in its stand and I walked over to the window and opened it and sat in the window sill and started to smoke.
"You can smoke inside, I don't mind you smoking inside." Dad said.
"It's just a habit, mum used to hate me smoking inside." I said and dad chuckled at the memories.
"Remember your walking to school tomorrow." Dad said as he got up and walked out my room.
I just nodded and put my cigarette down and got my headphones and my notebook and went back to the window sill and picked my cigarette up and carried on smoking while writing some song.
