The Talk

Rated PG-13

Summary: Annie and Eric talk to Simon and try and calm him down after the events from the

last chapter and Deena talks to Lucy about her problems.

Annie knock on Simon's door and waited for a answer

"Go away" said Simon

"Simon we're coming in" reply Annie ignoring what Simon had said feeling half mad for what

Simon said to Deena but half sorry for him at the same time. Annie and Eric walked in to

find Simon packing his bag with clothes.

"What do you think your doing" asked Annie

"I have decided to stay at the hospital until Hayley wakes up" reply Simon in a angry tone.

"I don't think so young man" said Eric

"You can't stop me" shouted back Simon

"Simon stop for a moment and think about what you are doing and saying" said Annie

"Mum you don't know what it's like for me" said Simon stopping packing and sitting on his bed.

"Simon we know your upset about Hayley and so is everyone else but what you just did to

Deena was horrible" said Eric

"I know and I totally regret it now but she was the only person I could really blame" explained

Simon

"How did you know it was her boyfriend anyway" asked Annie

"I phone Jackie" reply Simon

"Simon why I mean did you really have to know who the driver was" said Annie

"Mum I wanted to know I don't know why I suppose it was my mind telling me if I knew who

the driver was I could release all my anger out at that person but I can't cause his dead so

the nearest person was Deena" said Simon

"Simon I know you want to blame someone but it wasn't really Deena's fault and I know you

were very angry but what you just did wasn't very grown up was it" said Eric

"I know dad and I'm sorry for what I said but I really can't face Deena at the moment" reply

Simon

"Ok son but you promise your staying here for the rest of the night. You need some sleep

and if anything changes at the hospital we will wake you up ok" said Eric

"I promise and mum, dad thank you for being understanding" reply Simon

Eric and Annie left leaving Simon alone in his room. He layed down on his bed and before

he knew it he was asleep.

Downstairs Deena had stop crying and finished her glass of water with Lucy next to her.

"You ok now" asked Lucy

"Yeah a bit I just feel so guilty about Hayley" reply Deena

"Deena it's not your fault ok you weren't in the car and Simon is just really upset at the

moment because he really loves Hayley and I think if he lost her he wouldn't cope" said

Lucy

"I can't beleive Lance is dead it seems like a dream" said Deena

"How long were you a couple if you don't mind me asking" said Lucy

"About 5 months and thats when all the trouble started" reply Deena

"Trouble" asked a confused Lucy

"Me and my parents weren't getting on to well and they didn't like Lance at all.I started to suck

at school and my grades dropped down to a D and a F and my parents tryed to keep me in

the house but I would always sneak off to see Lance. You see his a senior so I thought I was

really cool and thats when I started to smoke and drink and sniff. It would let me forget who

I was for a couple of hours but then I started to get ill cause of my illness I have had so I

manage to stop drinking and smoking but I was adicted to sniffing and since my friends drop

me all I had to count on was Lance and then today Simon made me realise how dangerous

it was and I came to my senses" explained Deena

"Oh Deena I didn't realise why didn't you phone Simon" asked Lucy

"I thought he wouldn't care since I kind of dump him" reply Deena

"What about your parents" asked Lucy

"Funny enough the past month we have been getting along and I don't know why but school

has been getting really fun and my grades have been going up but my friends still won't

talk to me and it's hard being a loner at school" said Deena

"Deena why don't you write them a letter each maybe they will begin to understand you

and if you want I could help you with them before you go home tomorrow" asked Lucy with

a friendly smile

"Thanks Lucy you have been a really good friend and I feel much better now that I have talked

to you but I still feel really guilty and no matter what anyone says the guilt will still be there"

said Deena

Both girls carried on talking for a bit and then went back to bed. Before Deena fell asleep she

made a promise to herself that tomorrow would be a whole new life for her.

Chapter 9 coming soon.

I would love to hear some ideas to put in my story's that involve Simon, Hayley, Lucy, Ruthie

Kevin, Mary or Matt.
