Chapter 3: What doesn't kill us

I'm so glad that you guys like this fic because I am really into it at the moment!

In response to what Jiberty Fan said: I'm so glad you like it, twincest is defiantly not my intent in this fanfic, I thought about putting it in Holly J and Declan but the storyline becomes more and more about what Fiona went through (that is one of the reasons Holly J is angry at Declan) I hope it becomes clear as it continues ;)

Declan played with his pen, it had been a year since he had to listen to his teacher ramble on and he had decided there was no point. Returning here was meant to be amazing, epic and all of that. Instead his sister wouldn't talk to him and his ex-girlfriend hated him. Fun.

Barely noticing the bell as it rang, Declan gathered up his books and headed to his next lesson. Finding his locker was pretty easy; clearly they still do it in alphabetical order.

"Oh God." Fiona groaned as Declan started to unlock the locker next to hers.

"Aw sis, I thought you loved us hanging around together." Declan knew he was pushing her, but for some reason he couldn't help but be smug.

"Couldn't you have changed your last name too while re-inventing yourself." Fiona didn't even look up when she took three gulps from her bottle.

"Hey can I have some?" Declan asked as he grabbed the bottle from his sisters hands and innocently threw it back "Jesus, I thought this was water."

"That's what you get for stealing a girls drink." Fiona told him, as she took it back.

"Fiona! You can't sneak that into school. Drinking alone at this time is worrying but at school!" Declan's voice became a hissed whisper.

"Aw, how sweet. You care again? Well I'm sorry but you gave up that right when I came home to find your room wiped clean with no note." Fiona slammed her locker door shut and walked away.

"Hey." Declan called after Eli and Claire "Wait up; seriously it will be two seconds."

Sighing they turned round to face him, noticing the worried look that was plastered all over his face. "What's wrong?" Claire asked, trying her best not to seem aggravated.

"Well Holly J won't even go near me, so I thought you two would help." Declan waited for some reassurance but they both just stood there "I caught Fiona drinking in school, she snuck it in her water bottle." Declan paused again to examine there faces but they remained calm "She's drinking in school…..in the morning."

"You don't have to spell it out for us." Eli growled.

"We know." Claire finished.

"What?" Declan looked bewildered "and this is fine with you two? My sister is a fucking alcoholic and this is all hunky dory!"

"No its not! But we are dealing with it they best we can! Unless you want to chain her to a chair and lock her in a room, then there isn't much you can do." Eli said, keeping his arm wrapped tightly round Claire.

"But why?" Declan asked hoping to God the answer wasn't him.

"She's had a ruff year, she calls it self-medicating." Claire informed him.

"Well what's so God damn ruff about last year?"

"You would know if you didn't skip town." Eli told him and to that Declan said nothing.

….

"You're drunk." Holly J told her friend as she watched her trying to read the science book.

"No I'm not." Fiona snapped, but her fast head movement had made the room spin.

"That's it." Holly J grabbed Fiona's bag and rifled through it until she found two water bottles "These are confiscated." She told Fiona throwing them into the bin "For good."

"You don't control me." Fiona moaned "I am perfectly capable of making my own decisions." She may have been able to make a good point if she didn't hold the s for ten seconds.

"Fiona, I refuse to have a dead best friend, so listen to me will you!" Holly J's lecture would have continued if Eli and Clare hadn't of placed there food down and sat in front of them. "So our little friend had a chat with us today." Eli smiled shoving the bread in his mouth.

"Declan said you were drinking in school." Claire aimed at Fiona "He's worried about you."

"Well good for Declan, I'm glad he can show some kind of human emotion." Fiona snarled.

"Ok I know you hate him, but he does love you Fi and you used to be inseparable." Claire continued "Don't you want to salvage that?"

"No." Fiona bluntly replied before continuing to play with her food.

"Listen I hate him as much as you do, but he is your brother." Holly J tried to get Fiona's attention.

"Really? I didn't know." Fiona showed of her sarcastic smile "Well that changes everything."

"Fine, you want to ignore him? That is your choice." Claire said grabbing Fiona's science book and starting to revise.

Declan proudly sat on Morty, shoving his sunglasses on and giving of a smug smirk as the four friends stared at him.

"Declan-" Holly J started.

"Get the fuck of my car." Eli finished.

"Not until you two-" Declan's finger wagged between Holly J and Fiona "Give me a chance." When there was no reply Declan continued "Come with me, to the Dot, give me an hour tops."

"Ten minutes." Fiona stated.

"Forty." Declan bargained.

"Ten." Fiona didn't budge.

"How about thirty." Holly J tried to get between Fiona's glare and her brother.

"Done." Declan shouted before Fiona could argue "Come on I'll drive you."
