Jen makes a new friend
Bang!
…
"STAY AWAY FROM ME BART!" Sinead shouted
"Please let me explain…" Bart shouts from outside the door that Sinead recently closed with a lot of force…
"EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT A OTHER GIRL PREGNANT?!" Sinead opens the door and shouts in Bart's face
"Please don't give up on me, give up on us… I was high and drunk… I didn't know what I was doing" Begs Bart
"Go away Bart" Was the last thing said in the conversation.
… But the argument didn't end there it carried on… and the full house could hear what was being said…
Tilly and Jen both hear the bang; Tilly instantly pulled away from the kiss and put her one of her fingers on Jens mouth. Tilly pushed Jen off of her and listened to what was being said.
After a minute or two Jen looked over to Tilly and could see how awful Tilly felt listening to two of her friends arguing and listening to how hurt Sinead sounded… One of her closest friends…
Jen pulled her into a hug and didn't let go of her till the argument was over…
…
When Bart had finally agreed to leave on the terms that Sinead wouldn't fling what they had away until she was sure that that was what she wanted.
Sinead's POV
Diane's still away… Maddies busy for the day and Tilly well she probably is in the library… maybe Jen's upstairs… I mean college should be over by now … she wouldn't be my first choice on who to talk to, and maybe she wouldn't even want to. But I could ask her in a teacher student way? I just need to talk to someone right now. And Jen isn't all bad…
"Jen Jen are you in?" Sinead keeps on shouting …
…
Jen is shocked on what to do …
"Why does she want to talk to me?" Jen whispers to Tilly
"Because she needs to talk to someone right now and you're the only person she can… Jen please go… if not for her, for me I hate hearing her in this state?" Tilly begs Jen
"Alright fine but I am doing this for both of you not just because you've asked me ok? I am a nice person you know" Jen says trying to make light of this situation
Jen then walks down stairs … And is meat by a massive hug from Sinead while tears running down her face…
After a few minutes Jen pulls Sinead off of her…
"What's happened between you and Bart?" Jen asks softly
Sinead looks at Jen and Jen can see Sinead is weak from the crying and arguing
"How about I make some coffee and then we can have a chat about it?" Jen suggests
Sinead's nods and goes to sit down…
Tilly's POV
When I hear Sinead and Bart arguing and listening to how hurt Sinead is... It makes me feel awful being up here and not being able to go help her… I guess Jen sees this when she pulls me in for a hug.
When Sinead shouts for Jen it doesn't surprise me… Sinead will want to talk to someone and the only person she will be able to think of is Jen.
I knew Jen would go but just to make sure I ask her to go for me as well. When she says she will it makes me feel a little better knowing my friend won't be alone just now.
Back downstairs…
"Here" Jen says to Sinead when handing her a mug of coffee
"Thank you" Sinead manages to say
"Do you want to talk about what just happened" Jen asks Sinead gently
"Yeah … I… mean if you don't … mind?" Sinead answers after having some of her coffee
"No of course I don't, now why don't you start by telling me what happened?" Jen tells Sinead
"Well Bart text me saying that we needed to talk… so I went to the McQueen's house to talk to him… and when I get there I ask him what's going on when I see a serious look on his face… He tells me that I need to sit down so I do… and he says that about 6-7 months ago he bumped into one of his friends who gave him some weed as a late birthday present… so he took some thinking it would make him super 'cool' and since that was his first time It made him feel like he was on top of the world so he went to some bar in town and ordered himself a drink…then a other… and a other… and a other. Then he bumped into a girl and got her a drink and a other and a other until they both were pretty out of it…" Sinead started her story but paused to take a drink of her coffee
"I'm going to spare you all the details but he ended up cheating on me and … getting the girl pregnant" Sinead finishes the story…
"And now I don't know what to do?" Adds Sinead
"And you want me to help you with that?" Jen asks confused
"No of course not … this has to be my decision I just need someone to talk to right now…" Was Sinead's answer
"Ok that I can do" Replied Jen
"Jen? Want to know what the crazy thing is?" Sinead's asks Jen
"What's the crazy thing?" Jen asks
"I still love him…" Sinead started to cry again while saying that
"What would you do if you were me?" Sinead said when she stopped crying
"It's not my place to say… I don't want my thoughts to cloud you judgement …"Jen said to Sinead
Suddenly Jen had a brilliant idea …
"Can you excuse me for a moment?" Jen asked
"Yeah sure…" Sinead replied sadly
Jen ran upstairs, grabbed her mobile, gave Tilly a kiss, ran back downstairs, went outside and called Diane…
"Jen is everything ok?" Diane asked worried
"No not really Di" Jen said
"Why what's happened?" Diane asked concerned
"It's Sinead…" Jen said slowly knowing that she was worrying Diane and didn't want to do that…
"What's happened?!" Diane asked frantic to know what's happened
"Don't worry Diane it's not life threatening" Jen told her
"Sinead found out … that Bart cheated on her and got some other girl pregnant and is really upset about what to do…" Jen added
"Oh… I hope she's okay…" Diane said
"Well I was thinking Diane that… I have a little money put aside for a rainy day and since you get back tomorrow and would be leaving tonight …why don't I pay for you and Sinead to go on a spa week… Because it can't do Sinead any good to be around here just now and she will be able to think better if she's away from Bart" Jen told Diane
"Jen that is too kind… there's no way I could let you pay for that …" Diane said touched at what Jen was offering
"It's fine and plus I have a friend in Edinburgh that owns a spa hotel so it wouldn't cost that much…" Jen said
"But the tickets would cost… how about … since you're not taking no for an answer and I do think you are right about Sinead getting away that I at least pay for my own ticket to Edinburgh" Diane compromised
"Ok I will phone my friend and get that sorted out and I will put Sinead on a train tonight and you can get her there?" Jen suggests
"That sounds like a plan and thank you Jen this is very kind of you" Diane thanked Jen touched by what Jen was giving her and Sinead…
"It is my pleasure and I will text you the directions to the spa hotel and where and when Sinead's train will get in" Jen explained
"Thank you Jen this means a lot" Diane told Jen
"No worry's and bye got to go phone my friend and tell Sinead"
"Ok Bye" Diane said before hanging up
Jen had to make a phone call…
After Jen had explained to her friend why she was calling… her friend offered to put them up in a first class lounge and do it for free… which Jen thought was awful kind of her friend and ended the call needing to go and book ticket for the bus to Edinburgh
After booking the ticket for the bus all Jen had to do was tell Sinead she was going to be going away in about 3 hours…
Jen walked back into the house to find Sinead sitting there crying…
"Sinead… I've got a surprise for you" Said Jen
Sinead looked up and spoke "Yeah?"
Jen sat down
"Well after you told me what happened I had an idea… of how I could help but this still being your decision" Started Jen
"How?" Sinead interrupted Jen
"Well if you'd let me finish… I phoned Diane and told her what was happening and before you interrupt me no that's not the surprise… Then I phoned my friend up in Edinburgh… Who owns a spa hotel… I booked you and Diane in there for a week and you leave tonight… and I've booked you your ticket for the bus as well" Finishes Jen
"Wow really…?" Sinead says sounding shocked
"Yeah your bus leaves in about 3 hours so you better go pack and I thought if you wanted to say bye to Maddie and George and Tilly in college coffee I could pick you up?" Jen suggests
"Jen this is really kind of you… I used to think you just where a snobbish cow… but no you actually are a really nice person…" Says Sinead
Jen laughs…
"Well I can be a cow sometimes" Jen laughs
"Haha… but you're not see your doing this really kind thing for me…" Sinead says touched at what Jen has done for her…
"Thanks and why don't you go pack?" Asks Jen
"No need me and the rest of the gang always keep a suitcase packed with clothes in case Maddie decides to spring a trip on us so I can just use that" Sinead Smiles
"That's a good idea" Jen Smiles back
Sinead then runs up stair grabs her suit case… adds some make-up… toothbrush and is ready to go.
Runs back down stairs with her suitcase
"Why don't you put that in the car just now so you don't have to take it with you?" Jen suggests
"Good idea…" Sinead says
They walk out to the car and put the suitcase in the boot of the car
"I'll come into college coffee when it's time to leave" Jen Smiles
"Thanks for this Jen… I won't forget it" Sinead says and gives Jen a hug then turns around heading for college coffee…
When Jen thinks it's safe she runs back into the house upstairs right to Tilly…
Who has a massive grin on her face,
"I heard everything… what you did for Sinead" Tilly tells Jen
"Well you know me" Jen laughs
"It is really kind of you doing that for her…" Tilly says
"Well she'll want you at college coffee soon… you better get my Pjs off and into your own clothes Miss Evans" Jen says to Tilly
"Ok..." Tilly kinds on to pout
Tilly gets changed and walks downstairs… with Jen behind her. Then she gets a text from Sinead telling her to meet her at College Coffee ASAP
"Well better go…" Tilly says looking sad
"I'll see you soon though…" Jen says happy
"Yeah at college … were we will have to pretend like we mean nothing to each other…" Tilly says
"No I will see you tonight… For a smart person you really have missed the obvious here…" Jen says
"What?" Tilly asks confused
"I will have the house to myself… for a full week" Jen says with a smile on her face
"Oh… yeah so you will… You really did kill two birds with one stone here" Tilly Smiles
"You better get to Sinead she needs her friends just now…" Jen Tells Tilly genuinely concerned about Sinead
"Ok well see you later then…" Tilly says and goes to walk out the door
"HEY MISS EVANS YOU ARE FORGETTING SOMETHING VERY VERY IMPORTANT!" Jen says in her best teacher voice
"No I'm not?" Tilly turns around confused
"Yes you are … you are forgetting about a goodbye kiss" Jen says with a cheeky smirk on her face
Jen and Tilly share a goodbye kiss and Jen watches Tilly skip down the path on her way to college coffee… Looking like she is looking forward to the week ahead… And Jen knows she's going to make this the best week of Tilly's life…
Thanks for reading my story…
I'd like to say I am sorry for spelling college wrong in the first couple of chapters and it won't happen again
