I charge towards them and grab the slut by her hair, throwing her across the room. "What the fuck beck?!" I pinch my hand to stop myself from crying, tears fill my eyes. He's still sitting on his bed, his head in his hands.
"Jade, I can explain...were just friends!" He stutters and I laugh, a loud fake laugh, I want to punch him, square in the face, in his perfect face. But I don't, because I love him and I could never hurt him, never.
"I'm friends with Andre and you don't see me and him doing...THAT" I started pacing, and then turned to the girl, she had started to pick up her clothes and leave "Don't leave on my account" I spat at her, grabbing her hair and pushing her back to Beck again "We're through Beck. Fucking through." I stare at the girl, she's in my maths class, she's stunning, absolutely gorgeous. And it makes me sick. "I loved you beck"
I ignore his stupid, pathetic apologies and get into my car, slamming the door tight shut, forgetting Alice was asleep in the back. She woke up with a start, her bottom lip quivering "I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean to wake you up" I soothe, reaching into the back and stroking her hair, my hands are trembling, but I don't think she's noticed. When she's calmed down, I put her seat belt on and start driving, and thinking. Men are dicks, all of them. They'll cheat on you and hurt you and there is nothing you can do to stop it. The pathetic Disney songs are playing, and they are all stupid, they sing about how they will fall in love and live happily ever after and they make stupid little girls fall for them and think that when they grow up everything will be perfect. But its not.
"Where are we going?" Alice asks, and I don't know what to tell her, we have no where else to go. Well, there is one place.
"Cat's house" I say, and Alice squeaks in delight, Since Cat has been my best friend for, forever, She's known Alice since she was a baby and they love each other. Cat has a way with Alice, she just knows what to do and how to be with her, it's amazing.
After ten minutes we reach cats house and Alice is bursting to get out, running to the door and knocking as hard as she could, I pick her up, hugging her tight, Alice has no idea what's gone on. As soon as Cat opens the door, Alice jumps into her arms.
"Hello Alice!" Cat giggles, then looks up at me, noticing there's something wrong "You are just in time Alice! I've just started coloring a picture on my bed, and i brought new crayons, you wanna go finish it for me?!" Alice practically raced upstairs.
"Thanks cat" I whispered, trying to hold my tears in. I sat on her sofa and she came to sit by me, using my fingers to wipe a stray hair from my face "My.." That's all I could get out before I burst into tears, knocking Cat back as my head slammed into her shoulder. In school, and most of the time, Cat is the happiest, bubbliest and silliest girl i know, but when it's serious, when something is wrong, She changed, into this mature, amazing, comforting best friend.
"You don't have to tell me now, I could make you hot chocolate and then we could talk, if you want!" Cat pushed my head up so we were facing and I nodded, so, she made me hot cocoa, put on a DVD, got me some tissues and then sat down. "Now tell me"
"You know my dad...he has those problems, where he can't control his anger and he gets so mad and he drinks...and takes it out on Mom...sometimes me?" I had to lower her in, I didn't know how to say it. Cat just slowly nodded "Well...I came home and...and mom was...she was on the floor and in blood, and he killed her, and she died and she's never coming back, Cat" I sobbed, in between sentences, and Cat was crying too, but a soft and gentle cry, I knew she was trying to be strong. "My moms dead, Cat" I cried into her shoulder and she stroked my hair. "And then, I went to beck, I wanted to cry and for him to make it all better, and I walked in and he was with another girl"
"He's such a...such a...dick!" Cat said and I would have been shocked at her cussing if it hadn't of been such a shocking day already. "I'm so sorry Jade, I really am..." I knew she meant it.
After about half an hour I managed to calm myself down, and tell Cat exactly what happened, it was so weird, telling Cat everything. The only person I've ever let in is Beck. And now Cat knew everything, every detail. I trusted her. I let her in. After a while Alice came down, with a perfectly colored picture of a giraffe "Do you like it?!" Alice giggled
"I love it!" Cat grinned, wiping away the tears on her face "I love giraffes, I have a teddy one!" Cat talked to Alice while I wiped my eyes and planted a fake smile on my lips, for Alice's sake.
"Jade, when we go home can I show mommy? I bet she'd let me hang it on the fridge!" Alice asked me, and I had to bite my tongue to stop me from blubbering like an idiot again.
"Alice, I need to talk to you baby" I needed to tell her, I had to tell her, before someone else did. Cat sat beside us while I sat Alice on my knee "Mommy wont be there when we get home"
"Why Jadey?" Alice looked up at me, with her big blue eyes
"Remember a while ago, i told you about heaven?" She nodded "Well, today...Mommy, fell asleep. And when she woke up, she was in heaven, and even though she loved it so much here on earth with us, she has to stay up there now forever, but she is so happy up there, I promise" Her eyes began to tear up. "It's okay to be sad, you can be sad for a while but you also have to smile, because Mommy loved it when you smiled" Alice jumped off my lap and quickly went into the kitchen, bringing back Cat's pear phone.
"Can we phone her from heaven? I really need to speak to her and tell her about the picture I drew" Alice held out the phone to me and tears dropped from my eyes, Poor Alice. I didn't know how to reply, I didn't want to speak in fear that the only thing that will come from my mouth were sobs.
"No Alice, You see there's no way phone's would work in heaven!" Cat smiled, in a soothing voice "But, if you close your eyes and think super duper hard, then your mom will be able to hear you! That's how telephones work in heaven, by thought! Isn't that cool!"
"Really?!" Alice smiled and closed her eyes, her mouth in a pout of concentration, after five minutes she looked up, with a sad gaze. "Why can't i hear her?"
"I know...that's the saddest thing about it, but you know, she can hear you, and she listens and listens to everything you say to her!"
"Are you sure?!" Cat nodded and Alice grinned, and ran to me, hugging me tight around the waist.
"I'm just going to tell Mommy about my drawing" She hopped off my knee and went to the other side of the room by the window, once again concentrating on what she was thinking.
"Thank you, cat" I smiled and Cat grinned, and was about to say something before a knock came from the door, when she opened it, It was the police, asking to take me and Alice away. "Come on Alice" I called and she hopped into my arms after giving cat a hug, I said goodbye to cat, and then left, into the police car. In the police car they informed me that I would be staying at My uncle's house, he lives right by Hollywood arts and about three doors down to cats house! The police man had five suitcases filled with mine and Alice's things, he said there was more on the way, but there were the things my uncle picked. My uncle was a very wealthy man, he was my dad's brother and to be honest, i'd only met him twice. But, he would do. A house is a house, Anything is better than the shit hole we lived in.
"Why didn't we just walk?" I asked bitterly, I hate police men, I can't count the amount of times I had phoned the police about my Dad and they turned a blind eye.
"I didn't think you'd be in the mood for walking today" He smiled as he pulled up to the house "We'll take you into the station in a couple of days and ask you some questions, but for now, your uncle is all ready for your arrival and I am so sorry for your loss" He took off his hat and nodded at us, I didn't thank him, he didn't deserve my thanks. As my uncle stepped out the house, he ran towards Alice and scooped her up, tickling her, Alice giggled of course, but it was an uneasy laughter and when he stopped, she held her arms out for me.
"She doesn't like new people" I lied, she just didn't like him. I grabbed her and made him take all of our bags inside the house, I had no intention of getting to know this man, he was my Uncle and now my guardian and that was that. "We will be okay here, Alice, I promise" I said as she wrapped her arms around my neck. "Things will be better now"
