Chapter Two
JR quietly opened the bedroom door and listened to see if she could hear anyone talking, she knew Gus, Brian and Justin went to bed ages ago she just had to wait for them to fall asleep. I t was midnight, she was going to her friend Chelsea's house for a midnight party. She crept down the stairs, opened the front door a small bit and slid out. JR knew that her dads would catch her sneaking out.She was still upset about the picture, Melaine and Lindsey's death anniversary was soon plus all the bullying at school about having two dads and two dead mams. The streets were empty and quiet. As JR got nearer Chelsea's house she heard the loud thump of the music 'wow, that's loud' She thought. Chelsea lived a five minute walk away from Brian and Justin.
When she got to the house Chelsea was standing in the front garden greeting people going into the party. "JR, you made it! C'mon lets go inside, you'll never guess who's in there" She linked JR and began walking up to the house.
JR thought "I dunno. Tell me" She shrugged her shoulders.
"Ok" Chelsea paused "Zack!" She jumped up and down when she said his name.
"No way, seriously?" JR screeched. She liked Zack for two years and it was rumoured he liked her too, maybe tonight something would happen.
"Yeah and I heard thats he really wants to see you tonight" Chelsea pointed to JR.
"Lets go" They walked into the house. It was filled with drunken teenagers and music.
Zack, a tall guy with hazel eyes and dark hair looked over.
"JR!" He yelled and waved.
She went over to him "Hi Zack" She said shyly, she spoke close to his ear so he could hear her over the music.
"You want a drink?" He pointed to the table with all the drinks and foods on it.
"Thanks" She nodded.
Zack strolled to the table and got JR a drink. He handed it to her when he got to the spot where she was standing.
She took the drink and sipped "It's nice" She smiled.
Ben was in bed, he woke to the sound of Michael's crying.
"Michael?" Ben got out of bed and followed the sound of crying to the bathroom. Michael was crying, sitting on the bathroom floor with his back leaning against the cold wall."Michael what's wrong?" Ben ran into the bathroom and put his arms around him. Michael fell into his warm, safe arms.
"I know Mel and Linds anniversary is coming soon. Why did you not tell me sooner?" Ben kissed the top of Michael's head.
"I dunno, seeing JR upset like that it really got to me I guess" Michael moved his head to Bens' shoulder. He held him tighter.
After a while Michael began to move away from Bens' body "I'm okay" He wiped away his last tear.
"Are you sure?" Ben looked at him.
"Yeah" Michael started to stand up.
"I'll make some coffee" Ben hugged Michael when they both stood up.
"Thanks" Michael walked into the bedroom and Ben went down to the kitchen.
Ben stood in the kitchen waiting for the coffee to be ready while Michael was upstairs sitting on the bed still very upset.
Ben brought two cups of coffee upstairs. "Here you go" He handed Michael a cup.
"Thanks" Michael gratefully took the coffee. They both sat on the bed.
"It's fine, Is there anything else you wanna talk about?" Ben blew on his coffee.
"No, I'm ok" Michael sipped his coffee.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yeah, I am" Michael whispered holding his cup close taking warmth from it.
JR had been at the party for a few hours. She was having a great time.
"You wanna dance?" Zack shouted over the music.
"Sure" She shouted back. JR had a bit too much to drink and she loved it. Chelsea asked her to keep some pot for her, she said if her parents found it she'd be in trouble so JR slowly agreed. She thought it'd be fine.
She was totally lost dancing with Zack when a firm hand landed on her shoulder she was 'found' again. She turned to see a cop 'fuck' She thought. Everyone stopped dancing and the music stopped.
"Party's over kids" The cop shouted "Who's party is this?" No one answered "Fine that's the way it's going to be".
Brian awoke to a loud knocking. "What?" Justin stirred.
"It's alright, I'll get it" Brian stumbled out of bed. He hear the knock again. "I'm coming" He shouted. He hear Justin laugh and mumble something about not doing anything. Brian laughed at that. He walked down the stairs when he heard another knock "Fuck, hold on a minute!" Brian opened the door "Yes?" He asked with a thread of irrtation.
"Sir. Do you know this young lady?" It was a middle-aged cop with emerald green eyes. He had his hand on JRs' shoulder.
"Yeah, come in, What happened?" Brian asked as he moved aside to let them in.
"Jenny Rebecca was at a party, she was drinking underage and had this on her" The cop took out a bag of pot and held it up.
"What?" Brian just woke up "Wait, you snuck out!"
"Sir, are you her father?" The cop asked.
"What? No, em, I'm her dad's best friend" Brian looked at JR.
"Ok, could we talk in private?" The officer asked. JR, who was standing still ever since she got into the house, began to move.
"Yeah. JR go up to your room" She nodded, turned and walked up the stairs.
"Please sit down" Brian gestured to the couch.
"Thank you" He sat down. "JR was drinking underage and was caught in possession of drugs. This will be taken seriously" Brian nodded while running his hands through his hair.
Justin appeared from upstairs and took one look at the cop "Brian, what's going on?" He asked with a worrying tone in his voice. Justin sat on the arm of the couch where Brian was sitting.
"JR sneaked out, she's drunk and was carrying drugs" Brian put his arm around Justin's waist.
"No way" Justin sounded more surprised than worried.
"Since this is her first offence and considering her age, she might get away with a warning, by the way my name is Officer Wilson"
"Nice to meet you officer" Brian was stuck for words.
"Bring her down to the station tomorrow morning either with you or her parents" Wilson stood up "I'll leave you to get asleep. Sorry for the disturbance"
"It's ok" Justin said as he walked him to the door "Good night officer and thank you for bringing JR home" Justin smiled as he opened the door.
"Good night" Wilson walked down the garden back to his car parked out by the curb.
As Justin closed the door Brian walked out to him "What are we going to do?" Justin asked.
"Kill her, I dunno. Mikey and the professor are going to be pissed!" Brian leaned against the door.
"Should we talk to her about it now or wait till the morning?" Justin asked as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Wait till the morning" He suggested "Lets go back to bed" Brian pulled Justin close and kissed his neck as they began to walk the stairs "I'm just going to check on her. I'll be in soon" He squeezed Justin shoulder.
Justin went to their bedroom, Brian went to the guest room where JR was staying, she was in bed.
"JR, what were you doing tonight? I hope you didn't have sex, saying that I was fourteen too" Brian leaned against the wall beside the door.
"No Brian I didn't. Can I go asleep now?" She asked. All Brian could see was a mop of hair, she was hiding the rest of her head underneath the blanket.
"Ok but we're talking about this tomorrow" Brian leaned on the door handle.
"I know" Brian thought she was crying because her voice sounded a bit strained.
"Ok good night" He closed the door behind him, he didn't think JR would say good night and she didn't.
The next morning Brian and Justin were in the kitchen having breakfast.
"C'mon, hurry up. You two are going to be late" Justin stood at the end of the stairs calling up "JR! Your parents will be here soon" He walked back into the kitchen. Both JR and Gus dragged themselves down the stairs.
"What has you so tired?" Gus asked JR. He thought it was about the picture but he wasn't sure.
"What? Nothing. I couldn't sleep" She felt so tired how could she face school. Everyone sat and ate breakfat quietly.
"JR, when are we going to talk about what happened?" Brian looked across the table at JR who looked up from her cereal and shrugged her shoulders.
"What happened last night?" Gus was excited at the sound of gossip.
"Well it appears..." The doorbell rang cutting Brian off. "I'll get it" he stood up and made his way to the door.
Everyone was quiet in the kitchen while Brian was at the door. "Mickey what did I tell you about knocking, use your key!" JR could hear her dad saying he forgot it.
Brian, Michael and then Ben walked into the kitchen. Justin started to speak "Um Michael, Ben, JR was brought home by the cops last night, she left the house in the middle of the night without telling us to go to a party. She was drunk and was carrying drugs, we're really sorry!" Justin looked at Ben and Michael were they stood.
"What? JR what did you think you were doing?" Ben was looking at her seriously.
"Oh that's what it was" Gus whispered. Justin looked at him and raised his eyebrows as to say don't push it. Gus saw him do it sometimes to keep Brian quiet. Gus understood.
"Dad I'm sorry, I just thought" JR began before she was cut off by Ben.
"You just thought what? We thought you were upset. Is that the only reason you stayed so you could go to a party?" Ben looked at JR waiting for an answer.
"No I upset. I thought going would help me feel better" JR's voice was cracking.
"Help you feel better? Getting drunk, Did you take any drugs?" Ben asked with his arms crossed.
"No I didn't!" JR looked at Ben.
Gus sat awkwardly at the table "I have to go to school now or I'll be late" Gus stood up.
Brian followed Gus to door "Sonnyboy when JR goes to school, will you keep an eye on her?" Brian asked as Gus shouldered his bag.
"Sure dad" Gus opened the door just as Jake got to porch.
"Hi Jake" Brian winked at him with a seducing smile. Gus started laughing.
"C'mon" Gus pushed Jake down off the porch towards the street.
"Bye" Brian called from the door. He closed the door and went into the kitchen where everyone was quiet.
"We're sorry but she has to go to the station" Brian felt really bad.
"This is your fault, we can't trust you with her for one night" Michael stood up from Gus's empty seat and pointed at Brian.
"Well she's your kid, maybe you didn't bring her up right!" Brian tried to stay calm.
"We brought her up fine" Michael was beginning to shout.
"Sure, that's why she's sneaking out, drinking underage and just carries drugs around with her. You think she got that from me" Brian was shouting now.
"Ok maybe we should go" Ben stepped forward.
"Really professor, is that what you think" Brian faced Ben.
"Yeah c'mon" Ben, JR amd Michael left the house.
They all walked out to the car. While they were sitting in the car Michael started to talk "I dunno if I can forgive him I forgave him too many times but not this time"
