Midnight sky...
Next door neighbours....
I sat up in bed and looked at the clock. 9:54 AM. It was a saturday morning. I sighed. Today was the day my mom died, and I knew dad wouldent be in the best of moods. I knew I would have to stay out of his way as much as possible. I kicked the duvet off, and got up to get dressed. I could hear my dad banging and swearing downstairs. I decided to go downstairs, and see dad off for work. "Hi dad." I said, walking towards the counter, and grabbing two slices of bread. "What are you doing?" He snarled. "Making you dinner for work. Would you like sandwhiches, or me to pack you a cup of soup. Or both maybe?" I asked, trying to be as sweet as possible. "Both. Hurry up I have to leave in a minute." He snapped, and I made his favorite sandwhiches, packed him a cup, and a cup of soup, and a bottle of coffee. I passed it to him, and he snatched it off me, and walked out the door, slamming it behind him. I ran upstairs and into my room. I looked out the window, and waited until my dads car finally drove off and out of sight. I got on my hands and knees, and got a box out from under my bed. I opened the box, and got out a key, shoved the box back underneath my bed as far as I could push it, grabbed my sketch book, and ran downstairs. I wasnt aloud any house keys, and every weekend he locked all the doors so I couldent get out. One day, my dad had basically passed out due to drinking, and I managed to get his keys, and make a sketch of it, took it to a key cutters and got one cut. I had to hide it, because if he knew I had a key....It wouldent be very pleasent. I ran to the back door, and opened it, stepping out into the warm light. I sat down on the grass, opened my sketch book, and started to draw.

ANDYS POV
"There might be someone next door you can talk to. Darling you are not staying inside all this weekend. It's a chance for you to make some friends." My mom said, hands on her hips. I had my laptop balcanced on my lap, guled to the screen. "Mom, it was bad enough at school, and anyway. I'm looking for friends of facebook." I said. It was true, I was looking for Midnight of facebook, but I couldent seem to find her anywhere. "We'll i've heard some people next door. Just go and find out. for me." She said. I sighed, and put my laptop to the side. "Fine, but i'll be back later." I said, grabbing my coat, and walking outside. I walked and saw the neigbours house. It was big, but quite old, and didn't seem like a place to raise a family. I took a deep breath, walked up to the door, and knocked. There was no answer.

MIDNIGHTS POV
I heard someone knock on the door. I froze. It was way to early for dad to be home yet. I got up and walked around the side of the house to the front. There was a boy standing there, who looked extremaly familiar. "Andy?" I asked, he spun around, looked at me, and smiled. "Wait you live here?"
"Yes. Why are you here?"
"I live next door. My mom said to go find some friends." He said, looking down at the floor. I smiled at him. "We'll you found me." He looked up and grinned at me. "Do you wanna go out somewhere, like the movies or something." He asked. I froze. I wasnt aloud out in the garden, let alone to the movies. "Ermm......I'm sorta.......not aloud." I said quietly. "How come?"
"My dad wont let me."
"We'll why don't you come round mine."
"I'm not aloud."
"Is there anything your aloud to do?"
"Not really." He laughed, and walked towards me. "hold on. Come into my garden." I said, walking back down the side of the house, and into the garden. "But when I say you have to go. You have to go." I said, and he grinned nodding. He dropped onto the grass, and eyed my sketch book. He started to pull it towards him. "Oh no you don't." I said, sitting down beside him, and pulling the sketch book back towards me. "Oh come on. I won't show anyone." He said, pouting at me. I laughed and put the book behind me. "You can do that all you want it's not gonna get you anywhere." I said. "Oh shit." He said, making me laugh. We sat there for hours talking about random stuff that interest us. "Hold on what's the time." I said, and he pulled out his phone and showed it me. 3:45 PM. "Oh shit." I said, jumping up and grabbing my book off the floor. "Look Andy I'm sorry but you have to leave." I said, pushing him towards the side of the house. "How come."
"My dad's gonna be home in 10 minutes." I said, continueing to push him. He turned and pecked my cheek. I blushed. "Come on you have to go." I said, and he walked towards the fence, and jumped over it. "See you monday!" He called. "See ya!" I called back, grabbing everything and running inside. I locked the back door, darted up the stairs. I put my key back into it's box, and sat on my bed, opened my sketch book. I heard the front door open, and slam. Looked like dad was home. I took a deep breath, and forced a smile.
