Chapter 21
At 5:30am the next morning Jeff's car pulled up infront of Gemma's house. She tiptoed out & quietly closed the door behind her. Jeff came to the porch to meet her & help her with her bag, he kissed her & wished her 'good morning'.
"Hey!" Gemma whispered back "How's your head this morning?"
"Im fine! I stayed off the alchohol last night, but you should see the state of Matt!" Jeff shook his head & sniggered.
"Oh God! I told him he'd had too much! I hope he doesnt spew!"
"Nah! He'll be aight! Besides, he has his nursemaid to look after him!" Jeff pointed & Gemma saw Amy in the back seat with Matt...wearing his shades & looking like shit! Gemma got in the front seat & turned around.
"Amy! What are you doing here? Commin for the ride?"
"Well......kinda!"Amy beamed "I got a call late last night from one of the WWF guys.....Vince wants me to try out!"
"OH MY GOD! That's so cool!" Gemma leaned over & hugged Amy "Im so happy! I cant believe it!"
"Hahaha you cant! Man it's like a dream! Im so nervous!"
Just then Jeff climbed into the drivers seat & slammed the door. Matt groaned.
"Dude! My head! No slammin doors!!" Gemma laughed!
"Matt I warned you last night!"
"Oh man! That's all Ive heard all morning, dont you start!" Matt put his head on Amy's lap "Im goin to sleep! Wake me up when we get there!" They all laughed.
*******
The journey was fun! Gemma took a turn at driving for an hour but Jeff nagged her so much that she gave up! His car was his pride & joy & Gemma felt honoured to have driven it at all! Matt didnt sleep all the way, he recovered about 2 hours into the journey. They sang songs at the tops of their voices, songs like Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody which had them all in stitches. They even screamed along with Skid Row's Youth Gone Wild - which they all agreed summed them up perfectly!! It was great fun & Gemma kept forgetting about Macey & Shane, then she would look across at Jeff laughing & singing & her heart would ache.
Eventually Matt & Amy fell asleep in the back seat.
"Aw look at those two!" Gemma smiled. Jeff looked in his rear view mirror & smiled at the sight of his big brother asleep in Amy's arms.
"Yup! Reckon there will be wedding bells there!" he said.
"Hmmm!" Agreed Gemma. "Jeff?"
"Yeah?"
Gemma laughed. "Oh nothin really! Im just glad I came along that's all!" Jeff put his hand on top of Gemma's
"Me too hun! It wouldnt have been the same without ya!" They smiled at each other. Then Macey & shane flashed into Gemma's mind & she turned away to look out of the window, biting on her bottom lip. This was killing her & she didnt know what to do to make it right. She could gleefully kill Macey for this!
*******
"Gemma!......Gem!.....Honey wake up! We're here!" Jeff gently shook Gemma out of her sleep.
"Oh shit!" she yawned "I didnt even think I was sleepy! How long was I off?"
"Only about an hour!" smiled Jeff "Come on let's go check in!"
They got out of the car & all four of them walked into the hotel. It was beautiful.
"Man! Vince doesnt do anything by half does he?" exclaimed Matt, taking off his shades & looking around the huge lobby. They were shown to their rooms which were right next door to each other. One room for the girls & one for the boys. Matt groaned.
"Oh great! I get to share with 'sweat bucket' here when there's 2 beautiful women next door!!" he playfully swiped Jeff across the head!
They went into their rooms to unpack & freshen up. the rooms were as beautiful as the rest of the hotel & they were all amazed at how much expense Vince had gone to for them.
After they showered & the 2 girls sat on one of the beds while Gemma painted Amy's nails! She'd just finished when she finally cracked!
"Amy I have to talk to you or I think Im gonna go crazy!"
"Oh thank God Gemma! Please tell me what's goin on cuz I knew something wasn't right!"
Gemma took a deep breath & tried to figure out where to start.
"Yesterday, while you were trying on that top.........I wasnt sick Amy...well not in the way you thought anyway!"
"Gemma you're not......??"
"No! GOD NO! Amy....for christ sake Im not pregnant!!"
"ok ok! Thank God!So what is it?"
"I saw.......God this is so hard for me to do!"
"Take your time it's ok hun!"
"Well.........I saw Macey & she....well.."
"Who was she with?!" Interrupted Amy. Gemma was stunned.
"Amy! Do you already know what Im about to tell you here?"
"No....well maybe....I mean not for sure but I kinda figured she was up to something...so....come on!"
"Shane."
"SHANE?! You have got to be kidding me!? Jesus fucking hell!"
"Shhhhh! They might hear you! I wish I was kidding Amy! I wish it was another one of their fucked up little jokes.....but it isnt. There they were across the street kissing........and I mean full on!"
"Sweet Jesus! The fucking bitch!" Amy hung her head "did she see you? Imean does she know you know?!"
"Oh she knows! I almost smashed her cheating fucking face in at the barbie last night!!!"
"Way to go Gemma!"
"Amy........you get more like Matt every day! this is serious!"
"Yeah you're right! Sorry!"
"So....what do I do now? I mean this is killing me Amy! Do I tell Jeff...then he'll hate me for being the one that told him, or do I not tell him then he might find out on his own then find out I knew all along & hate me anyway!!" Gemma's eyes filled with tears.
"Gem honey let me think about it. Dont get so wound up, we'll figure this out you hear? A problem shared an' all that!" she hugged Gemma.
"Oh thanks Amy! I dunno what Id do without you!" She paused "I need to get soemthing else off my chest too!"
"Shoot!"
"It's Jeff! Well....I......uumm...I think maybe Im..."
"AMY! GEMMA! You dressed?!" Gemma jumped, it was Matt knocking on their door.
"Listen dont tell Matt please! He'll kill Shane for this!"
Amy nodded "Dont worry!" She went to unlock the door!
She turned to look at Gemma & Gemma could see in her eyes that she knew exactly what Gemma had been about to confess to her. She let Matt in then went back over to sit beside Gemma. She squeezed her hand.
"I know hun! I know! We'll talk tonight ok?"
"Ok! thanx Amy!"
At 5:30am the next morning Jeff's car pulled up infront of Gemma's house. She tiptoed out & quietly closed the door behind her. Jeff came to the porch to meet her & help her with her bag, he kissed her & wished her 'good morning'.
