Right, okay. Well, my mother walked out on me about a year ago. I never knew my dad. For as long as I can remember she’s been an addict and abusive. So, she met some guy on Tinder and used him as her ticket out of town. Bowie and her family took me in and her dad, Ste, is now my legal guardian. So, I lived with her, Chris- her mom, Woody- her little brother and Ste. Then, Ste and Chris got divorced. That sucked. Chris took Woody and they fucked off to Salford. It fucked Bowie’s head. Really, really badly. And I was a shitty mate, then one day she’s gone. She packed up everything. She left nothing behind except for a voicemail. She didn’t even say where she was going. The police won’t view her case as urgent because she’s 18 and she packed her stuff. They just think she’s done a runner. But I know her. Better than anyone, I know my Bowie. But when all you see on social media is everyone saying ‘she’s probably dead’, you kinda start to believe it. And if she’s dead and it’s my fault, I think I’ll probably-
All those nights where she would gush about me to you, all that time we waited for you to make a move. And it finally happened. I bet today is hard for you.
I know. It’s just being alone with him in that big empty house just reminds me that she’s not here.
