A/N- I haven't updated this in ages, so I thought I would. This chapter is
from Kacey and Abby's POV. I've decided to give up on giving dates but
this chapter is set the day after the previous one. That's kinda obvious.
*The Step daughter-Kacey*
Dear Diary, I'm confused. Really, really confused. About everything, life, school....Doug. I went to the party last night and I must have got really, really drunk, because I woke up in Doug's bed. Oh I don't mean it in THAT way, he wasn't in the bed with me if that's what you're thinking. He told me that I got really drunk last night and as his parents are away, so he took me back to his house so that my parents didn't see me in the state that I was in. He was really sweet to me this morning, he slept on the couch and he made me some coffee.
So anyway, once I was up and feeling better I went home. It turned out that Doug phoned Mom and told her that I was sleeping round his house, so I didn't get a lecture from Mom, she seems to think that Doug is a good influence on me. Once I had got home Anni phoned to check if I was okay and explained a lot to me. Apparently I got extremely drunk and started kissing this guy and when Doug saw how drunk I was he tried to get me out of the situation. Then he got into a fight with the guy and according to Anni, he won. So then she said he took back to his house, with me throwing up everywhere. So anyway, Anni started ranting about what a sweet, nice guy Doug was and how much she liked him. I guess he is a good friend and despite what the people at school think, that is all and Anni has had a crush him since forever, so why am I suddenly feeling jealous?
I guess things between me and Doug are complicated, we're good friends and he seems to have this strange sense of duty that tells him to look after me. I guess I feel the same about him, I don't want him to get hurt and if some girl did hurt him, I would be the first to go and punch her brains out.
Today sucked, it really did. I stayed at home and things were going okay and I was in such a good mood, but then everything changed. I got into a huge fight with mom, it was about something stupid and we ended up yelling at each other. Ceara told me to stop yelling at mom and I got really, really pissed off with her and pushed her into the wall. She fell really hard into the wall and didn't move. I froze, I took a look at the deep red blood trickling down her still body from her head. Mom rushed to her and yelled at me to get out of her sight, so I did. I ran. I ran out of the house to Doug's house, where I knocked on the door frantically. He must have been shocked to see me at the door, sobbing, tears falling down my cheeks. I was shaking and saying over and over again,
'I screwed up Doug,'
I fell into his arms and cried as he held me there, saying soothing things to me, trying to comfort me. I was scared, scared that I had killed Ceara, scared that I had lost my home.
*Abby*
All those years as a nurse and I'm sitting here in the chairs, with Derek holding my hand. My little girl is hurt, possibly dying and my older daughter had run away. I don't think I care about her, I'm becoming numb to the pain. I need someone to hold me, but Derek almost seems to be scared to, like I'm made of glass and am going to smash if he touches me. I don't really want to talk about what happened, I'm scared to. Basically Kacey hurt Ceara really badly, so now Ceara is in hospital. I told Kacey to get out and so she did. I think I need to go get some air, I'll be right back.......... .............. . I can't believe I just did that. I phoned him, I phoned John and cried down the phone to him. He said that he's gonna come here and make sure that I'm okay. I told him he didn't need to, I know Derek will be mad, but part of me can't wait to see him. I want him to come here and make everything okay.
