COMING SOON, MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR:


Almost three months after Mike’s death, I met Graham, he was nineteen. With me at only thirteen and three quarters, he was really much too old for me. But at that age the three quarters is very important, as it makes you feel a lot older. Graham was a bit too clean and geeky looking for my normal taste. Although he was nothing like Mike, he seemed nice enough. We would often walk to Hampstead Heath, grab a cappuccino in the Italian coffee bar and then walk back. We walked a lot. Looking back, I don’t think he liked spending his money. I was still very naïve, as Mike had been a perfect gentleman and we never went further than kissing.

One day while walking somewhere, Graham asked me if I had any French letters, I presumed he meant letters from France and replied.

“No, but I have loads from my penfriend in Malaya.”

He must have thought I cracked a joke, because he laughed. It wasn’t until a couple of years later, that I found out what the French letters he referred to actually were.

We had been seeing each other for about three weeks and were walking in the direction of Harrow Road, when Graham told me he had forgotten his cigarette lighter. I said it wasn’t a problem because I had mine, but he insisted that he wanted to go home for his. Thinking it was a bit odd, I felt a little unsure. But when he told me his mum or dad would probably answer the door, I agreed to walk back to his flat; after all it wasn’t far out of our way.

Bren felt quite uneasy, as they climbed the stairs to the fifth floor of the Queens Park tower block. Something was troubling her, but she didn’t know what; thinking she was probably nervous about meeting Graham’s parents, she kept going. When he knocked on the door of his flat and his friend Brian answered, alarm bells rang.
