Chapter twenty nine
Abi came and sat on the sofa next to me, smiling as she did. "What are you smiling at Abigail?" I smirked at her.
"Ugh. Can you not call me that" she told me pulling a disgusted face. "Okay" I giggled. "He really loves you" abi sighed happily.
I blushed under her intense, excited gaze. "I love him" I sighed, falling back into the sofa. "Wow, you've got it bad Lauren" abi giggled.
"Believe me, there's nothing bad about being in love or being loved by joey, he's amazing" I smiled. "In every department" I giggled.
"EW, okay I get it, you two are in love, I don't need to know the details" she said, pulling another disgusted face.
I let abi get that thought out of her head before I turned the conversation serious. "So jack filled me in on everything" I said.
Abi nodded at me and smiled softly. "He told me what Jamie did to you too" she said, pulling an uncertain face.
"Yeah he's a dick" I muttered. "Yeah he is but joey saved you right?" she smirked. "He did yeah" I smiled thinking back to when joey got me away from Jamie.
"So did you two just fall in love from the first time you met?" abi asked me giggling. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Nope we hated each other to start off with" I told her, watching her face scrunch up in confusion. "Why?" she asked.
"Joey didn't know I was there because my family had died and he kept dropping nasty comments to me like one time he said 'have your family gone on holiday and they've shipped you off here because they don't trust you'" I told her.
"Then he asked me why my mum didn't want me living with her said it was because 'she didn't like me either' he was a real douche" I told abi.
"Oh my god why was he so horrible to you?" abi asked. "Honestly am not sure but I think it was because he liked me but not as a cousin so he was horrible to me so he could deny his feelings" I said.
"What happened after that?" she asked. "I flipped out at him and he apologised, we kissed but then he said we couldn't be together because we were cousins" I said.
"Really?" abi asked, raising an eyebrow. "yeah but in the end we just got together and we didn't care what anybody else thought about us but pretty much everybody was okay with us" I told her.
"Accept for jack right?" she asked. "Yeah but his problem was with Derek not joey, he's okay now" I told her.
"Good" she smiled. I smiled back at her and we both fell back into the sofa. "I'm so proud of you abs" I smiled.
"Why?" she asked me, blushing slightly. "You got you and Oscar away from all those guys and got back here safe, you did good abs" I told her, smiling.
"Thanks Loz, I never thought I'd make it, I was such a state, and I was so scared especially for Oscar" she sighed.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there" I told her. "Were grateful you're here now, letting us live with you" she smiled.
"You're kidding, it's like I'm living some kind of miracle having you guys here alive and well, I love it" I told her.
Abi smiled at me before she frowned slightly. "Do you think mum and dad will be okay? "She asked, with the look of sadness in her eyes.
"Honestly? I don't know. Jacks working on it abs but I don't think we should get our hopes up" I told her.
She nodded at me before smiling. "What?" I asked her, laughing. "If they're okay and they come home, dad will probably go mad at you for dating your cousin" she laughed.
"Hm, it won't go down well will it" I laughed. "No he'll blame joey, saying he took advantage of you while you were vulnerable" she said.
"God I'll just have to get jack to have words with him" I giggled. "I'm not leaving joey, not for nobody" I told her.
We got into normal conversation after the deep stuff while we waited for joey and Oscar to come back.
"They've been gone ages" I said beginning to feel worried. "Do you think everything's okay" I asked feeling worried.
"Well Pauls not around here and Jamie's in prison right?" abi asked. "I think ben took the blame for him" I said chewing on my lip.
I stood up and paced the length of my window that looked out onto the street. "Ill ring him" I said walking over to my phone.
"No answer" I sighed in frustration. "Maybe we should call jack" abi said. I watched as she became more and more panicked.
A knock at the door broke us both from our thoughts. I began to walk out of the room "don't answer it Lauren, it could be anyone" abi said, almost in tears.
"It'll only be Jamie and he doesn't scare me abs" I said. "Lauren, please" she begged. "Look abs if it bothers you, go up to your room" I told her.
I opened the door and I was right, I looked at Jamie disgusted as he stood there smirking at me. He shoved past me and walked into the house.
"Come in" I mumbled sarcastically. I followed him through to the living room and abi was gone. "Aw, all by yourself" he asked me.
"No joey and Oscar are at the shops and abi's in bed" I smirked. Jamie's face turned into a scowl. "Nope darling, my dad killed abi and Oscar" he smirked.
"Nope darling he didn't" I told him prolonging the word darling. "Okay Lauren, I know you're lying, this is all lies to hide from me that joeys left you" Jamie smirked.
"Joey hasn't left me" I told him. "What's up did you get too much for him?" he chuckled, moving forwards.
"Touch me and I'll break your legs" I informed him. "You wouldn't be able to" he smirked. "No but I will" joey said as he stormed through the house.
He grabbed hold of Jamie and threw him on the floor after punching him in the face. "Do not get up" joey snapped.
"Where's Oscar?" I asked, noticing joey didn't come in with him. "Right here" jack said, walking in with him.
I smiled at Oscar and felt someone tug on my leg, I felt a sharp pain realising Jamie was trying to kick me. "Ah" I cried before scowling at him.
Joey was right at my side, not before he kicked Jamie warning him to stay where he was. The police came in and lifted Jamie off the floor.
He didn't look too happy at being arrested again but I really didn't care. "Come here you" joey said before pulling me into a hug.
"How'd you know he was here?" I asked. "Abi phoned me" he said, holding me tighter. I rested my head on his shoulder, feeling comfort in being held by joey.
"Love you" I mumbled before pecking his neck softly. "I love you too" he said, pulling out of the hug.
"Erm what took you so long?" I asked raising an eyebrow. Jack chuckled before joey answered me. "Well I saw jack outside the shop and he took me back to the station" he told me.
"Why?" I asked, confused. "He had someone for me to meet and he knows all about me and you babe, he's very happy for us, I'd like you to meet him" he smiled.
"Yeah?" I asked. "Yeah abi and Oscar too" he smiled. "What are you up to joey branning?" I asked him, raising an eyebrow before slapping his chest.
"Nothing, abi!" joey shouted. Abi came down the stairs and looked at joey confused. He explained everything to her before he looked at the door.
"Come on in then" he said. The door opened and I gasped. Abi burst into tears before running over and practically falling into his arms.
He looked at me and I could feel all my emotions building up, he walked over to me, putting his hands on my shoulders.
"Hello babe" he said. I sobbed and he pulled me into him. "It's okay, I got you" he said rubbing my back.
"I missed you so much dad" I cried.
