Chapter 4
The day of the wedding had come so fast, Ester hadn't really thought of telling Jack. She'd been spending so much time with Tilly she'd barly even thought about it she'd been having so much fun together. Taking the time to visit the park, going on night walks, spending time in both Tillys and Esters. And Tilly done this all without seeing Jen once much to her relief. Tilly still hadn't quite worked out what she wanted to do with the whole Ester situation. She honestly just felt like closer friends but Ester didn't know that. Ester thought this was real, just because they hadn't really kissed didn't mean she wasn't having so much fun together. She finally felt happy, happier than she'd felt in a long, long time.
Maddie and Tilly were both getting ready at Maddies house. Maddie had been doing everything in her will power to try talk Tilly out of being with Ester but she was told to leave it and not mention it again. Which she did immediatly. Before long Sinaed, Jono and Neil had arrived outside. It was finally time to head to Rubys.
But Ester had already told Jack, and Ruby was grounded instantly. Ester did feel bad after been told she'd ruined her life but Ester knew deep down she'd done the right thing for her friend. It wasn't so long ago Jono had cheated on Ruby when he was with Bart not to mention what Ester seen between himself and Maddie. So really she was just looking out for Ruby. It was just a shame Ruby didn't see it that way.
Ester decided to go out for a little walk to clear her head when she saw Tilly and the rest of the gang. She explained herself and no one was very happy with her. Ecspecially Jono and Maddie. Everyone walked away leaving Ester. She looked at Tilly with tears in her eyes but she was in the wrong. And Tilly wasn't just going to egnore that because they were together.
''Just when I thought people couldn't hate you anymore'' said Maddie. ''I either told Jack about them getting hitched or I told Ruby about you and Jono'' replied Ester feeling untouchable. ''Did I not make the right decision'' she added. ''You fat little stumpy troll'' said Maddie angrly. Esters eyes instantly started filling up. ''Your supposed to be a friend'' said Ester. ''Why don't you just die? No one will miss you'' replied Maddie. ''Do you honestly think anyone will belive you now?'' said Maddie. Ester didnt reply, she knew Maddie was right. ''Thought so Dyke'' said Maddie. Unknowing to Tilly listening to every single word. Tilly felt heartbroken. Her friend, her best friend had just turned into a total different person. And as for Dyke! Tilly thought Maddie must have something against them. This wasn't her friend, she had never, ever seen her like this before.
Before long Jono turned up at Rubys, while he was talking to Jack the rest of the gang was helping Ruby escape from the window. And before long, she was out and Jono was out too. Everyone was finally happy again. Well apart from Tilly who was furious with her friend.
Since Bart was to stoned to arrange transport for the group they left him angrly. He called them back but neither listened. Then Maddie had the bright idea of stealing the minibus and of course Ruby agreed thinking it was quite romantic. ''I'll drive'' said Maddie. ''The bus?'' Sinaed said. ''How hard can it be?'' replied Maddie. ''Is it true?'' said Maddie. ''Is what true?'' replied Maddie. ''About you and Jono I heard Ester'' said Tilly. Maddie looked a little embarrassed. ''Well...?'' Tilly said. ''Tilly don't look at me like that, you no me I wouldnt do anything to hurt anyone'' replied Maddie. ''Like Ester? The fat little stumpy troll?'', ''The dyke?'' said Tilly. ''This is where, I give you a little kiss. You alrihgt now?'' smiled Maddie. ''Who are you?'' said Tilly angrly. ''Your best friend'' replied Maddie. ''Not any more Maddie, best find yourself another dyke'' and with that Tilly left angrly.
Tears fell from Maddies eyes as she quickly jumped into the front of the minibus and started up the engine. Driving past Ester on the way with Jono shouting out the window. With that Ester ran to Barts and asked him for help. Of course not knowing Bart was off his head she jumped into the car with him.
Driving behind the minibus swerving behind them and honking the horn. Everyone got scared a little but Jono was sure that Maddie didn't stop the bus to let Ester stop the wedding. So of course Maddie done so. But Bart got more dangerous, real close to the side of the bus. Ester was even scared by this point. It carried on along the full road until Ste's daughter was running out into the middle of the road. Maddies breaks wernt working so caused her to swerv and hit Ste and crash straight through the wedding venue. Causing danger to everyone inside and outside the wedding venue not to mention causing danger to themselves.
Bart got so scared he talked Ester into leaving the accidant and going back home. Ester didn't want to really but Bart was right, all of this was there faults and if they wern't there when the police arrived they couldn't be blamed for anything.
Everyone was equally panicking, everyone was stuck too. The bus was layed on its side so made everything that bit harder to get out. Jono cut himself free first. He jumped up and set Sinaed free first taking her to a safe place away from the minibus before quickly returning to help Ruby out which he done no problem. Maddie and George were both stuck inside the van. ''Neil, Neil wake up'' George panicked. ''He's dead, Maddie help me'' George struggled. ''I can't i'm stuck'' said Maddie. Before long Maddie freed herself and helped George free right away. Just as she was about to jump out of the minibus she heard Neil. ''Mad, help me, please'' he managed to speak up. ''Sorry'' replied Maddie and jumped from the minibus herself just as it was starting to set on fire.
''This is all Esters fault the bitch'' said Maddie. Everyone was still shaken up quite a lot. ''You saved me'' George said. Maddie looked back at the van which was burning with Neil alive inside. And within another minute the full minibus exploded. Maddie took a deep breath in with relief. ''MADDDDIIEEEEE'' Ruby screamed. The van door had fell from above her and instantly killed her.
A death of two friends in the matter of 5 minutes made the group histerical. Viewing the accidant over and over again. Everytime they shut there eyes they saw it, the burning minibus, and the van door falling on there friends head and killing her instantly. Sinaed and George were taken to the hospitle right away because they had pretty bad cuts to the head and face but Jono and Ruby were left to go home without any injuries luckly.
On the way home Ester instantly rang Tilly to tell her what had happened. And within a second Tilly was out the door and on her way to the hospitle to check if her friends were alright.
Tilly was shaking up more than anything, all the way to the hospitle she wished and wished and wished over and over again that all of her friends would be alright. How could there lives just be turned upside down within an instant? Tilly didnt stay on the phone long enough to question how Ester knew about the accidant she didn't care about how she knew she just wanted to get there, and comfort her friends as much as she could.
Jen and Diane were sat in the living room watching the TV when Diane's mobile rang. Just as Diane answered she knew something bad had happened. It was a man calling from Sinaeds phone.
Hello, Ms O'connor?
Yes, speaking
I'm afriad your daughter has been in a serious accidant she'e been taken to the hospitle now. I think you should get here
Oh my alright, I will be there as soon as.
Diane was running around the house like a headless chicken. ''Jen, can you take me to the hospitle please?'' Diane rushed. ''Yeah of course, whats happened to Sinaed?'' Jen asked concerned. ''Shes been in a serious accidant'' replied Diane. Within a minute Jen and Diane were on there way straight to the hospitle. Jen was speeding a lot but neither noticed the difference. Both just wanted to get to the hospitle and be there for Sinaed as soon as possible.
Tilly was in the waiting area along with quite a few other people. She was sobbing histerically. She still hadn't heard anything about any of her friends. No one could tell her anything. She still hadn't seen any of them so still didnt know about Neil and Maddie being dead. Both of her best friends. This was about to hit Tilly like a thousand bricks. The two people Tilly could talk to the most were gone forever. And there was nothing anyone could have done about it.
Jen and Diane rushed through the hospitle doors and ran straight down the corridor. Noticing how many people were crying and bleeding in the waiting area as they passed. All Jen could think about was Sinaed and Tilly. Diane and Jen both burst through the double doors where Sinaed was lay crying. The nurce tried stopping them but it was no use. They wanted to be by Sinaeds side.
Jen didnt dare ask Sinaed if Tilly was alright. It wasn't the time or place to do so. And it would definetly become suspisous to Diane. ''Mum, mum'' Sinaed cried. ''Its alright love, its alright'' replied Diane stoking her forhead. ''Mum, there dead, dead'' she screamed. ''Come on now calm down, come on its alright, its alright'' said Diane. Jen felt sick to the stomach. Straight away she thought of the worse. Tears instantly flew down her face hearing the words dead sickened her to the bone.
Tilly was sat in the waiting area when she saw George coming out of one of the rooms, she instantly jumped up and ran to his side. ''George you ok?'' she asked. ''I'm fine'' George said glum. Before he knew it he was kneeling on the floor in sobs with Tilly down beside him holding him. ''Come on George whats going on?'' Tilly asked. ''Your alright arnt you?'' Tilly added. ''Its not me Tilly, its Maddie and Neil'' said George through the sobs. ''What? What George whats them?'' Tilly instantly panicked. ''Dead'' he blurted out. Tilly looked at him Dead running through Tillys mind. ''No, no, no it can't be it cant be'' screamed Tilly. Just then Ester approached behind her. ''Tilly'' Ester said holding her. Tilly turned around and cudded her tightly. ''What are use doing here? Maddie and Neil are dead because of you'' George spat. Tilly instantly removed herself from Esters arms. ''What did you do?'' Tilly shouted to both Ester and Bart. ''Nothing we did nothing'' Ester tried. But George and Tilly seperated themselves from her.
Tilly didnt want to be around the hospitle any longer, but there was one more person she had to see. Her and George burst through the double doors to where Sinaed was lay with Jen and Diane hovered over her. Tilly didnt care for a second that Jen was there. She'd already lost two friends she wasnt prepared to loose another. ''Sinaed, how are you'' Tilly sobbed. ''I'm fine, but Maddie, Neil there dead'' blurted Sinaed. ''I know, I know'' Tilly cried. ''But you, your alright?'' Tilly asked again. ''Yeah, i'm good'' replied Sinaed. ''Good, I need to get out of here I need to find Maddie and Neil'' said Tilly as she left the room sobbing. ''You just said they have died havent you Sinaed?'' Diane asked. ''Yeah but Tilly, she's the closest to both of them this...will hit her a lot harder'' Sinaed cried. ''Jen, go get Tilly and take her back to ours she can't be here it will eat her up'' said Diane and Jen nodded and left the room to go find Tilly.
Tilly was running along the corridor in the hospitle in and out of rooms where people were being tret. Then a Doctor finally approached her. ''Who are you looking for love?'' he asked. ''Neil and Maddie'' she sobbed. Just then Jen saw Tilly and she ran up behind her along with Ester. ''Tilly i'm here'' Ester spoke. ''Go away Ester NOW'' Tilly shouted. ''Maddie and Neil?'' Tilly asked the Doctor again. ''Love, them died instantly you can't see them'' he broke gently. ''But..I need to say sorry. To Maddie and...I need to say goodbye'' Tilly sobbed histerically. Just then Jen pulled Tilly close to her, and within a second Tilly wrapped her arms around Jen as tight as possible and dropped to the floor with Jen kneeled down infont of her.
Ester just stood there, she knew Tilly was going to blame her for this. But it actually wern't her fault she was trying to do the right thing. Tilly realised what George had said early and quickly jumped from the floor to face Ester. ''How was it your fault? George he said it was your and Barts fault'' said Tilly. ''It was no ones fault babe honestly, Cheryl said the breaks on the bus wernt working'' replied Ester. ''So how did you know about the accidant?'' said Tilly. ''We were there, but we left'' said Ester. ''YOU LEFT? You left them to just die?'' Tilly shouted. ''Come on Tilly, don't do this hear lets go somewhere else'' said Ester. ''What? do you feel bad do you not want anyone to know?'' said Tilly angrly. ''Come on Tilly, lets get you back home yeah?'' Jen finally broke the argument between Tilly and Ester. ''No, she doesnt need you she's with me!'' Ester spoke. ''Hu? you think you've clamed me? I NEVER want to see you ever again Ester remember that!'' Tilly shouted and with that she turned around back to Jen. Jen swept her under her arm and helped her stedy out of the hospitle before taking her back to Dianes.
