It's the last day of the school week, and I need to be at work extra early today because we have special visitors coming to the school where I work. My sister Catherine is hogging the bathroom again, she's been in there for god knows how long, singing along to the radio. 308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVw2muuvHJ

"For fuck sake Catherine, will you hurry up, I've gotta be in work by eight!" I shout as I bang on the bathroom door again. "Fucking pointless" I huff to myself as I stand and wait. "MUM!!! Will you tell Catherine, she's taking the piss in the bathroom AGAIN!" I shout loud enough so mum can hear me, as I'm hanging over the bannister of the stairs. "Eva, you better watch your mouth girl, I swear to god!" she shouts up to me. For fuck sake, you wouldn't think I'm an adult sometimes.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ1CnoMdHr

I run down the stairs and walk into the kitchen where she is. "But mum, Catherine's taking ages, and I've gotta be at work earlier today cos the school's expecting special visitors" I tell her. "I don't give a damn babe—You gotta watch that tongue of yours, you know what holly's like now — she copy's every word!" She says sternly. I smile at my mum's words over my little sister's antics. "Bathroom's free!" Catherine shouts from upstairs. "Oh, Thank fuuuuu-god!" I beam an innocent smile at my mum whilst she scowls, shaking her head at me. Leaving the kitchen, I take two steps at a time up the stairs, because my arse is gonna be late if I don't get a move on. Walking into the bathroom it's all fogged up with steam, oh why fucking me? "What the actual fuck Cat, did ya not think to turn the fuckin fan on? open the window or anythin? It ain't that hard—fuck!" I groan. 308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC3aws0xij

"For The love of God!! WILL YA STOP THE SWEARING! little ears are listening!" Mum shouts up at us. "Sorry Ma" Me and Catherine shout at the same time. "Morning my beauties!" Dad booms happily coming out of his and mum's room. "Mornin Dad!" Me and Catherine say in unison. "Baby girl, didn't you have to leave earlier today?" He asks as he looks at his watch. 308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3iZwLYIk0

"Yeah, but Cat took the piss in the bathroom again, and now I've gotta wait till all this steam has gone." I whisper to dad, so mum can't hear me swear. "Better get moving then baby girl, it's already 7.30." Dad says tapping his watch. "Are you fuckin messin?" I fume. "Nice one Cat, shit!" I shout out to Catherine through her bedroom door. "Language!" Mum and Dad say at the same time, god they're not even in the same room and they're still saying the same things at the same time, I laugh and roll my eyes. "Hasn't the minibus picked Holly up yet?" I ask Dad, he shrugs his shoulders as he's going down the stairs.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPmn977qUd

Holly is mine and Catherine's nine-year-old sister, she has autism and goes to the same school where I work and gets picked up by minibus to get taken to school. I decide to leave getting a shower as I only had a bath last night, so I resort to getting a quick wash and brush my teeth. 308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9PzI0uw3G

Finally, I'm ready, I walk into the kitchen where my dad has my mum on his lap, kissing her with his hand on her arse, she's giggling her arse off. Mum and dad have been together since their teens, you'd think they were still teenagers the way they act at times. "Urrgh, If I'd known you were doin that I'd of covered my eyes, I'm blind now—scarred for life!" I tease them. Dad does his cheesy grin whilst mum scowls at me as she gets up off him, He smacks her on the arse as she gets up. "PADDY!!!" Mum gasps as she rubs her slapped arse whilst failing to be mad at my dad. "Woman, you know I love that arse in them jeans", he growls with a grin. She blushes and laughs. "I know, that's why I wore them." she whispers huskily, they're looking like they're mentally devouring each other, probably forgetting that I'm actually in the same fucking room as them. 308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBGaycbhKc

"Err, hello?" I wave my hands, reminding them of my presence. "I can see and hear you, you know! There is a time and place for that shit, not in front of your traumatised daughter!" I admonish them. "Oh, behave yourself, Eva, I've seen what you read, and that was mild compared to the stuff I've read on your Kindle." Mum scoffs. What the fuck? "What The fuck mum? What're you goin on my kindle for?" I question her. "I was googling something." She says, not looking at me. She's lying, she's got her own iPad for that shit, so I narrow my eyes at her. "Oh, it doesn't matter, you'd better go, otherwise you'll be late. Holly's already gone." she says in a rush, waving my question off. I look at the clock, it's nearly 7.50am. "Shit!! I'll see ya's later, stay off my kindle ma!" I warn her as I get to the door. I'm about to shut the door when I hear my dad saying to mum. "So—what did you read in the books baby?" He asks huskily as she giggles. I roll my eyes and shout "Get a room you two!" as I slam the door shut. The front door opens again as I'm at the gate, Catherine comes out in her school uniform shouting. "Laters!" to mum and dad, she looks at me and grimaces. "Ain't no way I was staying in that house whilst they're all over each other" she shudders. "No one should see or hear their parent's doin that shit." she laughs.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqWxid0Eru

We live in Kirkby on the east side of Liverpool in our four-bedroom house, it's a newly built house that's been adapted for our Holly's needs, it's nice, we like it—and the neighbours aren't bad either. Although, we've yet to meet the new neighbours. They bought the house next door to us that had been up for sale for a while, I saw a few days ago that it had been sold. And now there is a big arse moving truck outside, it says it's from Ireland. I wonder why it's an Irish moving truck? I shrug my shoulders and don't think anything of it, so I set off to work.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvM6vOVCsV

Blue Saint Park, where I work, is about a five-minute walk from my house, it's a school for children up to the age of nineteen years old who have special needs and physical disabilities. Our Holly was diagnosed with autism when she was five years old. That day was hard for my mum and dad, it was hard on all of us. Holly has learnt a lot over the years, from when she was first diagnosed, to how she is now. She couldn't speak at all at first, but after extensive speech and language exercises and Makaton which is a form of sign language, she really has come along. 308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8BFrQ59Cg

She still relies on PECS, which is an abbreviation for Picture Exchange Communication System, this allows people like our Holly who have little or no communication abilities to communicate using pictures. Holly was taught to use PECS to approach us and her teacher and give us a picture of a desired item in exchange for that item. By doing so, Holly is able to initiate communication. Any child or adult with autism can use PECS to communicate a request, a thought, or anything that can reasonably be displayed or symbolised on a picture card. PECS works well for her in the home and in the classroom. She craves routine, any change and it's like going a different route to what she's used to and can be highly distressing for her. I decided to go down the route of special needs after seeing what my mum and dad went through with Holly. I've always wanted to learn more about special needs, autism especially, so I went to college and did some online courses and here I am, a fully qualified special needs teaching assistant. I decide to get my phone out and ring Amber, my best mate. I let it ring three times, but she doesn't answer. "Hmmm, I'll ring her later, she's probably still asleep—the lazy cow." I laugh to myself.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyCbX3tmoZ

Wanting to listen to some music, I plug my earphones in and look for my Spotify app. Pulling it up—I press shuffle and David Guetta ft Robin Shultz Shed a light, pumps out of my phone. "Awe, I love this song." I'm humming and singing along to the song as I start to read Dominic by LA Casey, I've already read this book loads of times, it's just so fucking funny—I'm at the part where Bronaugh is threatening to hit Dominic with a tool for sitting in her seat, I'm laughing my arse off, so engrossed in the book, that I'm not looking where I'm going. Suddenly, I bash heads with someone and I hear a male sounding. "Ooooof." 308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkJXrbmxfc

Ah, so I must have butted his chin not his head.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNo0g4fMEJ

"Ye'alright there, love?" He asks with concern and a smile on his face, waving his hands in front of my face. Fuck wake up Eva, fuck sake you're just staring at him, say something—SAY SOMETHING! I blink a couple of times "Um yeah, am alright—I wasn't watching where I was walking either, sorry, are you ok?" I manage to say. He laughs at me, fuck even his laugh is sexy. "Yer, I'm ok love, I'm a bit lost though, maybe ye' can help me? d'ye live locally?" He asks me. What the fuck? Should I tell him anything? Just because he's all kinds of sexy doesn't mean you tell him anything. "Err..." I stutter, he must sense my unease and clarifies quickly "It's just, I'm meant to be meeting me teammates at this school, and I don't know where it is." he adds assuringly, smiling at me. I narrow my eyes suspiciously "Why didn't you just go to the school with your teammates, so you wouldn't get lost?" I question him. He smiles at me again, "I um, I've only just moved here with me family from Ireland, like literally. I was scouted by Everton, and they're doing a meet and greet thing at this school. I was helping me mam and da move stuff into the new house, and google maps said it was only five minutes away so I thought I'd be okay if I walked", he shrugs. I blink at him a few times. "What school is it?" I ask.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgjFO7mqWu

He looks at me, then gets a piece of paper out his shorts pocket. "Um, Blue Saint park?" he replies. Fuck. Off. I must be looking at him like he's got two heads or something, cos he's waving his hands in front of my face again. I shake my head "Err, yeah—sorry, I spaced there for a second—um, I know where that is, I work there actually, I'll show you." I inform him. 308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRDWOfKR5X

He looks at me in relief. "Really? Oh, thank fuck for that! I'm Justin by the way." He says as he holds his hand out for me to shake it. As I take his hand in mine I feel that current, you know, that sort of electric spark feeling you get? I always thought that only happened in romance novels. Justin must feel it too because he looks at me, then down at our clasped hands in awe. I shake my head and smile politely. "I'm Eva" I smile letting go of his hand as we start walking again. God that was weird wasn't it? "Eva" he says caressing my name. "That's a pretty name." 308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdtd598A5G

"Maybe" I respond. "Blue Saint's is an amazing school—our Holly has come on loads, he'll love it here," I say honestly. Justin smiles again, "That's really great, I can't wait to tell me mam and da," he tells me. "They've been worried about the move and how it's gonna affect him, so I'm hoping a smooth transition into here will be good for him." he adds.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPvhQa4ppW

I smile in understanding, I know how that feels. "I'm sure a social story could help him, you know, pictures of his minibus and classroom, with pictures of his teachers so he's prepared. If you mention it to Michelle— she's our headteacher, she'd be more than happy to sort one out once he's been assigned to a class." I tell explain encouragingly.

We walk in silence for a little bit when Justin breaks it. "So, what is it that ye' do at the school like, if ye' don't mind me asking?" I smile. "I'm an ASC specialist teaching assistant, I love it—the kids are awesome" I tell him. We arrive at the school entrance where Justin's teammates are waiting for him. "Eh! Justin, hurry up lad—Dunc is waiting" One of the lad's shout over. Justin looks at me and says. "I'll better go before he busts me balls!" he rolls his eyes and laughs. "Thanks for today Eva, I'll see ye' around" he says softly, placing his hand on my arm and squeezing it gently. He smiles at me before he runs off to his teammates. God, would you look at that arse. "Yeah, see you around Justin" I sigh sadly. I probably won't see Justin again, even though his brother is starting Blue Saints, the chances of seeing him again are slim—unless Brandon gets put into my class? My heart starts galloping at the thought, I shake my head and I walk in. "Mornin Jill," I say to our receptionist as I approach the desk. "Mornin Eva, cutting it close aren't ya?" she says as she points to the clock, it's just gone 8am, I sigh. "I know, but in my defence, I had to help someone because they were lost—they were trying to find this place." I explain as I sign in. "Well hurry up then woman" Jill says "Those special visitors are here!" She grins excitedly. Jill's looking all funny like she has Christian Grey standing in front of her, she's got that swoony eye thing going on. "Hmm—ok, I'll catch you later, Jill." I say as I walk off to my class.
