Run Wild ? Ackley Bridge

" Hey" I say, opening the front door of Wills house to Cory and his brother Jordan whose still in his uniform although it's 8.

" Hi" Cory says smiling, as Jordan pushes his way into the house and straight into the kitchen.

" Sorry" Cory mouths, before walking into the house too and shutting the door behind him.

" Jordan, do you want me to make you something?" I question him, noticing him looking through all the cupboards and fridge.

" Yeah. Alright " He says, stopping in his tracks.

" Jord why don't you shower, bathrooms upstairs on the right"Cory says, as he grabs his brothers shoulders to guide him to the stairs.

" uhmm " He mumbles, before running up the stairs, and when Cory looks back at me he is met with a confused look from me.

" How do you know where the shower is" I ask him laughing, as I pull out spaghetti from one of the cupboards.

" Might've looked round the other day" he says slightly laughing, before getting up and grabbing the kettle.

" Charming" I say slightly laughing too as I fill up a pot with water to make the spaghetti and pull out a chopping board and an onion, putting it onto the breakfast bar to chop it up to make some sauce.

I turn the hob on and begin to heat up the water before sitting down on the breakfast bar as I watch Cory filling the kettle with water and flipping the switch to boil it.

" Is your brother okay?" I question him, as I noticed the fact that he didn't really seem to say much, and seemed almost out of it.

I begin to chop up the onion, not giving it all my attention but enough that I don't chop my whole hand off.

" I don't know, not one to talk about feelings " he sighs, as he takes three mugs out of the cupboard where their kept, and putting a tea bag in each.

" Thank you, for doing this by the way" he says, turning his body to look at me, resting himself on the kitchen counter.

" It's fine" I smile, before the kettle goes off, and his attention is back on the tea making.

I watch him as he pours water into each mug, before he turns around looking for a tea spoon.

" What you looking at you twonk? " He laughs, snapping my attention away from staring at his actions.

" Did you just call me a twonk?" I question him, slightly laughing.

" Yes I did." He says smiling, before walking over to the fridge and grabbing the milk out of it.

I get out of my chair and walk over to the pan of boiling water, where I put in the pasta where I notice Cory staring at me, quite like I was just doing to him.

" Can you help me get another pot down?" I ask him, pointing up to the highest cupboard where Will keeps all his pots and pans.

" Sure" He says, before opening the cupboard, but his first attempt fails, he tries again, but seems to fail again.

" You're gonna have to get em. Come here" he says, ushering me to come closer which I do.

He lifts me up by the waist, and I manage to get down the desired pot, before he puts me back down onto the ground, I put the pot onto the kitchen counter and turn to face him.

I look up, to see him staring down into my eyes and his hands still very much attached to my waist.

" you can shower now Cory"  We hear Jordan's voice say, as he walks down the stairs, dressed in new clothes and clean which quickly snaps us out of this trance.

I walk away from Cory and grab the onions before putting them into the pot, and putting that also on the flames.

" oh-uh thanks" Cory says, before grabbing his bag and heading up the stairs, past Jordan who reaches the bottom of the stairs and sits at the kitchen counter.

" How'd Mr Simpson afford this gaff then" Jordan says, looking around, playing with the nicknacks on the breakfast bar.

" His parents were rich" I shrug.

" They dead or something?" He questions, as I finish of making the teas that Cory were making a minute ago.

" Yeah... here" I tell him, handing him one of the teas that I finished making.

" thanks" He mumbles, slightly smiling as he takes a sip of the drink.

I turn myself back around and begin to mix the pasta and onions that's in the pans. I then grab the pasta sauce from the other cupboard and pour that in with the onions.

" I can see why Cory likes you" he shrugs, snapping my attention away from what I'm doing.

" What do you mean?" I question him, turning my body to face him to where he looks at me and slightly laughs, still sipping his tea.

" I mean you seem stable. Only thing stable in our Corys life is bad grades" he shrugs, which causes me to laugh.

" I'm glad you think that" I say, slightly confused and laughing. I had this perception of Jordan, as if he was a bad kid, but he's not.

He just got involved with the wrong people, and it doesn't surprise me. People from here aren't ever the right people.

But I think I might've found my right people.
