Chapter Seven- Trouble in Camden Paradise
Lucy was silent as she drove home that night, with Simon in the car. She wanted to yell at him, to tell him "Hey, she has a really tough life". But she had promised not to say anything about Jennifer's troubles, and she wasn't about to break that promise. They arrived home, and Simon just sat there, looking at Lucy.
"What? Why are you looking at me?"
"I'm guessing Jennifer went crying to you about today. You haven't said a word to me."
"Yes, she told me what happened. I think your overreacting." Lucy said sternly.
"Oh gee Lucy, that's real nice. I see how you are. Who's more important, your brother or Jennifer?" Lucy didn't say anything. Simon just looked at her, with tears in his eyes. He stormed out of the car, into the house and upstairs to his room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucy didn't try to talk to Simon for the rest of the afternoon, and at dinner Annie noticed the tension between the two.
"Lucy, Simon, is there something going on between you two?"
Simon glanced at Lucy, giving her an evil look, "No, why?"
"Lucy?" Annie asked, looking her daughter in the eyes. Lucy doesn't say anything, looking from Simon to her mother.
"May I be excused?" Simon said, anger in his voice.
"Simon, you and Lucy need to work things out, whatever's going on..."
"I asked to be excused!" Simon said, louder this time, standing up. Annie, Eric and the rest just stare. Simon storms off, and they hear his door slam.
"I'm sorry everyone, we had a little bit of a fight today, he's still really angry." Lucy apologized, looking around the table. The family finished their dinner in silence.
After dinner, Lucy was in the house alone with Simon. He hadn't come out of his room since dinner and she would confront him as soon as she finished the dishes. Her parents had left a few minutes ago to visit her Aunt Julie and uncle Hank, along with the twins. Matt was studying at the library, and Robbie had a date. Ruthie had gone to study with her friend Sara. Lucy went upstairs and knocked on the door.
"Go away." Simon's voice filtered through.
"No." Lucy said, opening the door.
"Man, can't I have privacy in my own room?" Simon yells, giving Lucy a disgusted look.
Lucy got angry and started yelling, "No, you can't. Jen was trying to apologize to you, and you yelled at her, you didn't even let her finish! Simon Camden, I thought you had a heart, but if you saw her face when you left then I'm convinced you don't have one at all!" She stormed off without so much as a glance back at her brother.
Simon just sat there, completely dumbfounded and feeling like an ass. Why did I let my anger get out of control? Why did I do that to Jennifer? Especially when I feel the way I do about her. He pushed those thoughts from his head. We need to be friends first, he reminded himself, and I'll have to see if she wants that anymore.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lucy went downstairs and out the back door, getting into her car. She needed to talk to Jennifer, and knew exactly where to find her. Ten minutes later Lucy pulled up to the Diner, and walked inside.
"Is Jennifer here?" She asked the owner, Mr. Fredrickson politely.
"No, I sent her on an errand for me. She should be back in a few minutes if you want to wait."
"No, that's ok. I'll find her myself, thanks." She drove off, driving down one street then the next, finally passing Jen as she walked toward her. Lucy needed to turn around, and did so a few blocks up. When she finally caught up with Jen again what she saw stopped her in her tracks.
Lucy didn't know she could park her car that fast. She jumped out, yelling Jennifer's name as she watched as a stranger choked her best friend. He saw Lucy running towards him, and quickly dropped Jen on the concrete, running away down an alley and into the night.
