Chapter 9 – Break Up?
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING :)
(Shane's POV)
It had been 4 weeks since the car accident Nate, Jason and Vicky had been involved in. The nightmare hadn't ended for any of them though. Everyday she was reminded of it. "Hey, listen. It'll be over with soon."
"Maybe, but I will not stop feeling guilty. Jeez Shane I could of killed my mom. If Jason wouldn't be the way he is now, everything would be okay." I heard Dani come through the door. "Upstairs!" I called out the living area. Okay, Ashlyn was away at her parents. She decided it would be best if I stayed to help with Jason. Minutes later Dani came running back downstairs and out the door.
From: Ashlyn x
Hey, How's everyone on your end? Love you xxx
To: Ashlyn x
Everyone great. Vicky still guilty about it. Jason still the same and Dani well she's Dani. Not much to say. Lol. Love you xxx
Within seconds of her receiving the text my phone rang. "Ash don't you dare come home early... I can cope. I hav... okay love you" I must admit I really missed her. She stopped longer than she said like but I didn't bother to much. I was being kept busy here. "SHANE!"
"Coming!" I called back upstairs. I swear the amount of times I have been upstairs and down I wouldn't need to go to the gym for a year. "Here! That's your lot now. And I mean that. After this one no more. Ever!" I shouted as I threw the last can at Jason. He'd gone through 25 cans in 27 hours. Yeah I had my order's not to give him any. But what do you do when he starts getting violent? Leave him?
"NATE!" he came running through the door like grease lightening.
"What? I wasn't doing anything" He had that shifty look to him and he was straightening himself off.
"Yeah, looks like it. Run to shop for me."
"Ummm, Why can't you go?"
"I have to watch Jason." I stood there a while longer as he shook his head. "Oh gee. Thanks Nate!" He totally got the sarcasm in my voice.
(Nate's POV)
Somebody was a little unhappy about going to the shop but he was acting like he should do everything in the house. Surely how hard can it be looking after Jason? BANG! I ran upstairs as fast as I could and peered through the key hole in Jason's bedroom door. And honestly I've seen Jason pissed before but this was a whole new level. His room looked like a bomb had just been dropped in it a million and one times.
"Hey, I'll sort it" whispered Vicky behind me. "Jason! Open this door right now." Wow! Jason was being a really stroppy. I swear I've never heard Jason called anyone a slut before now. "I beg your pardon Jas."
"You heard! I can't believe you. After a few days of knowing him your already slee..."
"WHAT? Oh, Jason. No we aren't. We're just together. Nothing has gone pass a make out session." She kicked the door so hard it left a dent in it, before running off downstairs. I ran after her taking the door keys and taking her out. I wasn't prepared to let her be in there with him. He'd literally lost it.
- With Dani-
(Dani's POV)
I really couldn't believe him. Everything was going great and then he started again.
From: Nate.
Sorry to disturb you Dani, but can Vicky and I crash at yours for a bit? Jason's literally lost it . X
To: Nate.
Yeah sure. Bring yourselves round now. I'll call Shane and get him to bring you guys some stuff. X
Wow! It must be bad. Never in my life have the rest ever asked if they could stay with me out of terror. I quickly called Shane, who had gone to pick up Ashlyn from the airport. She must of come home early. He had agreed to bring round some stuff for them as long as he and Ashlyn could stay. Well I couldn't say no. Mom wouldn't be happy about everyone staying. But she didn't understand. All she did was go to work and drink. Work. Drink. Work. Drink. Ah! You get it.
About 3 hours later everyone had arrived as had my mom. We were all just talking when she called downstairs "Off to bed now. I've got things to do" I gave a small groan as did everyone else.I knew exactly what she had planned. She was just going to get wasted, because it was her day off the day after.
"Dani, what's wrong with your mom?" asked Nate.
"Probably going to get wasted and then invite some random bloke over." I sighed. I was really hoping she wouldn't. I had enough to deal with, without mom being like she is.
-Next Day-
I slowly dragged myself out of bed as my alarm went off. I just got to the top of the stairs when I noticed my mom passed out on the stairs. "SHANE! Need your help" I called. He helped me move her. I felt sick, due to the smell of alcohol on her. Luckily she never invited some random bloke over. Imagine how bad that would of looked if she had done.
The day was pretty good. Until the end of it. Jason was waiting outside school. Had no idea who he was waiting for but we decided to talk to him.
"I'm sorry guys. I really don't know what happened." He looked rough. I really just wanted to take him back in my arms and tell him everything was okay, but on the otherhand I wanted to slap him as hard as I could. What was I suppose to do? After everything he had just done. Forgive him? Take him back? Sometimes I really hated life.
