Part nine- sugar we are going down
Steph and Andy sat anxiously on the sofa as both David and Katy explained everything,
"Steph?" Katy asks as her best friend looked in shock her face pale as she suddenly stands silent tears falling down her face,
"You three go back to the party I need to speak to Luke!" With that she headed out the door and made her way over to Maria's flat,
"Steph? Uh come in!" Steph entered the flat glaring over at Luke,
"Sis? You alright?" Steph wipes a tear from her face,
"Good question luke. So how long were you going to lie to me?!"
"What?"
"You know damn well what! How could you do that?!"
"Listen Steph I can explain..."
"Save your excuses for someone who'll take your crap! You held me and comforted me when he was in hospital and all this time you were the reason he was there in the first place!" Luke looks ashamed as Steph slaps him,
"You stay away from me and Andy! We are no longer siblings! You hear me we are done!" Steph storms out the flat to find Andy heading over to her looking concerned as he pulls her into him as she breaks down Andy comforting her.
The next morning Andy phones David and Katy telling them to come over as Steph was depressed in bed,
"I made you some breakfast" Andy says placing a tray onto the bedside table as he places himself beside Steph stroking her hair,
"Steph babe please speak to me?" Steph remains mute as Andy lightly kisses her forehead making tears fall down her face,
"When your ready to talk I'm here!" Andy leaves the room feeling useless and filled with guilt. Katy and David head over to the flat both silent,
"It sounds bad. My own fault!" David takes her hand,
"Katy it's not you that caused this its Luke!" Katy nods her head sighing,
"This must be killing Steph. They have always been close...why did luke have to be so stupid?!" David shrugs as he wraps an arm around her as they press the buzzer,
"Hey Andy how is she?" Andy shakes his head sadly,
"She won't speak or do nothing...listen I have a plan to make her happy I need help"
"Well where do you want us mate?!" Andy begins to explain the plan as they all get to work.
Steph heard the front door click shut and the silence that followed making her know that she was alone, as she finally made her way out the bedroom and smiling slightly at the photo hanging on her wall of her and Andy,
"I'm sorry" she mutters to the photo of Andy close to tears as she made her way into the kitchen and placing the tray onto the counter the smell making her stomach churn. She was looking at the ring on her hand her mind playing seeing Andy on the floor covered in blood!
"Steph?" Steph looks over at the tall woman standing infront of her making Steph run into her arms sobbing as the woman soothes her,
"It's good to see you too Steph!"
"Mum...I don't know how to fix things...it's too broken!"
"Shh darling I'm here now love. And I am not going anywhere!"
