Jade reached for the toilet. She put her hands down her throat and threw
up. With all the commotion downstairs, no one could hear her. She grabbed a
towel and wiped her mouth, as she stood in front of the mirror.
Back downstairs, Shelley, Rhys and Dani were washing up and tidying the room. Kirsty and Kane turned off the TV and headed for the stairs.
"OH....Kirsty? Kane? Here's your dessert. Take some up for Jade as well" Dani asked, passing the three bowls to Kane. She took them and they both went up into the twin's room.
They entered the room to find Jade sitting with her knees tight up to her chest.
"Hey, are you OK?" Kane asked her.
"Yes. I'm fine thanks" Jade replied.
"I've got this for you" Kane passed the bowl to Jade "Dani wanted us to give it to you."
Jade nodded and began to eat in a hurry.
Back downstairs, there was a knock at the door. Shelley opened it, to find herself facing Morag.
"Hello Shelley. Am I interrupting anything?" Morag asked politely.
"No. Not at all. Come in" Shelley said.
Morag entered, she sat at the table and began pulling notes, pens and booklets out of bag. Shelley, Dani and Rhys remembered her doing this process with Kane and Dani.
"I've found out information........erm.....though you probably already know. So......erm........I've sorted out dates and times of the court case. The earliest one that is available isssssssssssss........next Thursday. That is the only one until January next year" Morag explained.
The three family members looked at each other.
"You can have this early date, which will have to be quickly decided on, so we can get everything sorted. Or you can have the later one. I DO need to know as soon as possible."
"We'll have next Thursday please Morag. The sooner the better." Rhys said.
"Yes. I agree" Shelley cried.
Morag noted all of this down, and they began to make the arrangements.
Upstairs, they had no idea this was going on. Everyone had finished their dessert.
Suddenly, Jade got up. She walked slowly over to the door, across the landing and when she reached the bathroom, she bent down over the toilet and forced herself to be sick yet again. Kirsty and Kane could hear the faint noises of someone being sick. They knew where it was coming from and knew it was definitely Jade. Kirsty, aware that Jade was repeating history, started to cry as Jade came strolling back into the twins bedroom as if nothing had happened.
"We heard" Was all Kirsty could say. Kane looked from Kirsty to Jade.
"I'm so sorry Kirst....it just happened. I can't bear seeing our family like this. I HATE seeing you like this" Jade began to cry. Kirsty hugged her.
"I HATE seeing you so upset Jade." Kirsty said.
Kane joined in the hug.
"This is like a big bear hug!" Kane laughed. Kirsty and Jade laughed to.
This was the first time that everything was going smoothly; Shelley, Dani and Rhys were talking about the court case and Jade, Kirsty and Kane were laughing and joking upstairs!
AND NICK......WELL HE WAS HISTORYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
