Chapter 35
"Adam hi! It's me!"
"Me who?"
"Jerk!"
Adam laughed. "Well so many women call my phone I lose track y'know?!"
"Oh really?" she grinned.
"No not really! Just you!" Hows it goin?"
"Its goin ok! Just had to tell the folks about the job...but they're cool with it!" She sat down on a fence at the bottom of the yard"You home now?"
"Yeah at last! I never thought we'd get here!Jay has driven me crazy all the way home too!"
"Aw poor Jay!" Gemma laughed.
"Im missing you!" Adam paused, "Its so strange....like Ive only known you for a few days but I miss you so much already!"
"Im missing you too! Seems like we've known each other for so much longer!"
"Well only two weeks & I can get my hands on you again!" Adam growled & Gemma giggled. "Gemma...Im so glad we......well y'know...this morning before you left!"
"Me too!"
"Really? I mean you dont regret rushing into things?"
"Nope not a bit!"
Gemma heard footsteps & looked up to see a figure stumbling along the raod towards her house.
"Oh Jesus Adam I have to go!"
"Gemma what's wrong?"
"Look, something's come up" She jumped down off the fence "I'll call you back!"
She started to run up the road towards the figure.
"JEFF! OH MY GOD!!" just as she reached him he fell into her arms"What the fuck...?! Oh shit! JEFF!!" She yelled at him but he was out cold. She couldnt hold him up any longer & they collapsed in a heap in the dirt.
"SHIT! SHIT! JEff! Come on Jeff!!" She shook him but still got no response. He was the one who looked like he'd been hit by a truck! He was covered in blood all over his face, his hands & his shirt was soaked in red goo. Gemma tarted to panick. She looked back at her house but knew they'd never hear her if she shouted for help, they were too far away. She searched on the ground for her phone but couldnt find it. She started to cry.
"HELP! SOMEBODY!" She screamed. She cradled Jeff in her arms & looked down at his lifeless body.
"GEMMA!"
Another figure was running up the road towards her. When she saw who it was she started to freak.
"FUCK OFF SHANE! GET THE FUCK AWAY!! I CANT BELIEVE YOU DID THIS YOU BASTARD!!"
" Gemma trust me let me help!" He bent down towards Jeff.
"DONT YOU TOUCH HIM! STAY AWAY!" She screamed at him.
He wouldnt listen. He scooped Jeff up off the ground. Gemma punched & kicked at him the tears streaming down her face. She was so scared. Shane put Jeff back down to try & defend himself. He grabbed hold of Gemma's arms & she was near to hysterical.
"GEMMA! GEMMA PLEASE YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME!!" he shook her & she stopped fighting.
"I didnt do it Gemma I swear! Jeff needs help! Let me help him please!"
"I dont fucking believe you! Bastard!" She spat at him.
"PLEASE GEMMA! It was Macey's brothers....I went to Jeff's.....to warn him....to tell him they were comming for him.....I never wanted this to happen believe me!! Look at me!!" She looked & saw there wasnt a mark on Shane. No cuts, no bruises, no dirt. "If you never listen to me again Gemma please just listen to me now! You have to trust me! PLEASE!!"
She finally gave in. "Help him Shane please!" She sobbed.
Shane nodded. He lifted JEff to his feet & together they dragged his limp body back to Gemma's place. When they got to the yard Shane bolted up the back steps & burst into the house. Gemma wouldnt leave Jeff's side. 30 seconds later her Dad & Michael came running out of the house with Shane close behind them.
"Jesus Christ!" Said Michael when he saw the state Jeff was in "How many of them was there?"
"I dont know. She has three brothers....they have a lot of friends." Shane looked down at Jeff, he was white as a ghost, it didnt look good.
"Sons of bitches!" Jack said kneeling down next to Jeff.
"Daddy? He's gonna....b....be...." Gemma sobbed.
"Paramedics are on their way sweetheart!" He hugged her.
"RIGHT! Shane get in my car NOW!" Michael strode to his car.
"Michael no! Stay out of it son!"
"Mike please!" Gemma begged.
"They cant get away with this shit!!"
"No Mike! Michael no!! PLEASE!"Michael turned & looked at his little sister sitting in the dirt, her face wet with tears. She was distraught. Her clothes covered in Jeff's blood. He couldnt do it to her. He turned away & kicked the porch steps.
"DAMMIT! MOTHERFUCKERS!!" He didnt go after them.
"Dad! Did you call Matt!?" asked Gemma as the paramendics pulled into their yard.
"I'll do it!" shouted Michael. "You go with him!"
Jack & Gemma got into the back after the medics loaded Jeff in. He still hadnt regained conciousness. Gemma still sniffed, but now she had started to go into shock. The medics wrapped a blanket around her & Jack hugged her.
"Dad?...." She paused. "Mike.....he wont do anything...stupid will he?!"
"No honey! He'll be ok once he's calmed down!" He reassured his daughter & Hoped & prayed to himself that he was right.
*******
When they got to the hospital they rushed Jeff into a private room. Gemma & Jack waited in the corridor. Matt, Amy & Gilbert ran in together.
"where is he? What happened?"
Gemma tried to explain to them how she'd found Jeff.
".......and.....and...I...I...tried t...to lift him up.....I tried Matt.....I swear......I tried so hard....bu..."
"its ok babe. Come here."Matt wrapped his arms around her & held her.She was shaking uncontrolably & felt so cold. He went to adjust the blanket wrapped around her & noticed her blood soaked clothes.
"Gemma...Jesus are you hurt?"
She looked down, pulled out her top so she could see it...& passed out in Matt's arms.
She wasnt unconcious for very long.They sat her down in a chair. Gemma put her face in her hands. Her hands were also covered in blood & when she looked up again she looked like something from a horror movie. Jeff's blood was all over her clothes her face, in her hair.....
"Matt?" She whispered.
"Yes honey?" He bent down to hear her.
She gritted her teeth"I swear Im gonna kill her Matt! Im gonna kill that fucking bitch for this!!"
Matt held her tightly.
All they could do was sit & wait.
"Adam hi! It's me!"
"Me who?"
