Chapter 19

Graham pulled up to his house, he saw the lights on. Patty must be home he thought as he got out of the car.

As he walked up to the front door he noticed Jordan's car outside and smiled to himself. He wasn't a bad kid really, just grossly mis-understood. He was happy that Angela was happy, it's all he ever wanted for her.

He put his key in the door and opened it to hear Angela squealing " DAD! You made us jump"

Angela and Jordan were cuddled up on the sofa, both fully dressed and watching TV. Graham smiled to himself. Angela wouldn't have sex for a long time to come, she was far to determined not to give it up for anyone he thought.

"Hey kid's..Angela, where's your mom?"

Angela frowned and said "With Grandma still...Isn't she?"

Graham looked confused, where the hell was she. It's one thing standing him up but where had she gotten to. He had tried Camilles house but no-one was home..

Graham smiled at his daughter. She seemed really happy and relaxed. "Honey can we talk?"

Angela's expression changed slightly and she answered " No, not yet. we've got to like..go..Jordan is getting the results for his band thing"

She stood up and Jordan followed her lead. "I'll see you later I guess"

She brushed past Graham without a kiss goodbye and went out of the door. Jordan hurridly ran past him and said "Later Mr Chase"

Graham sighed and scratched his head "Later Jordan..Good Luck"

The door closed behind Jordan, he didn't hear what Graham had said.

Graham climbed the stairs, he needed to shower and get a fresh change of clothes. As he walked up the hallway he noticed Angela's bedroom door open. He stopped outside and peered in. Angela was so girlie and so typically teenage. Her room was a mess.

Graham walked in and began to pick up the clothes. Talking to himself he muttered "Angela, make the damn bed when you're asked, it's not difficult"

He coughed and went to straighten her duvet cover. The first thing he noticed were tiny spots of blood on her sheet. He thought that odd, but it didn't prepare him for the sight of a condom wrapper in the middle of the bed...

Angela and Jordan had driven back to Let's Bolt. They were kissing in Red and giggling like lovestruck teenagers.

Jordan stopped kissing Angela as he heard a bunch of guy's talking in the car park..

"This dude needs an ambulance" said a short ,stocky guy. The other guy was helping Kyle to his feet.

"Nah man, he'll be ok..He just needs to go home ..he's wasted"

The short , stocky guy took Kyles arm and led him towards his pick-up truck.

"Gimme your address dude, I'll take you home"

Kyle was helped into the truck and the short guy drove off.

"Oh shit " Cried Angela .. " I need to see if Sharon is ok"

Jordan smiled. He knew what had happened to Kyle, he had Shane's trademark footprint on his face! "I'm sure she's fine baby, hold up..I'm coming too"

They both ran into the club.

Angela was greeted with the sight of Shane and Sharon playing pool and laughing together. Jordan snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms round her waist.

"I told you babe, she's fine" He kissed her neck and then let her go so she could see Sharon.

Sharon ran to Angela and hugged her tight. "Angela, I've had the worst night...ever"

Angela looked at her best friend " I saw Kyle outside, beaten ..what happened?"

Sharon sighed and shook her head "I'm not discussing this now I'll tell you later. Thing is, I'm fine..Shane here saved me"

Sharon gently slapped Shane's back putting him off of his shot. He was about to curse at the person who pushed him but then he noticed it was Sharon , he gave her a cheesy grin.

Sharon looked at Angela who was now in jeans and a tank-top. She looked at Angela's face a little more closely and could see that Angela had done it.

Sharon smirked and said" Oh you've changed you're clothes..something happen?"

Angela gave Sharon a knowing smile and replied " Yea..major spillage!"

Both girls laughed and hugged.

"We have the results ladies and Gentlemen.."

They stood in silence listening to the guy at the end of the microphone.

"We saw some good bands tonight but there can be only one winner..."

Shane grew nervous and Jordan started biting his thumb..

"Well done...RESIDUE!!!"

Angela shrieked and flung her arms round Jordan's neck, Sharon started screaming and ran to Shane , she hugged him tight.

"Oh my gooooooooooood" Shouted Angela. "Jordan you did it!!"

Jordan couldn't beleive it, they won the battle of the bands. He started laughing and spun Angela around,

Shane and Jordan bear hugged, the whole place was applauding wildly.

A man in a very expensive suit walked towards them with a huge grin on his face.

"Congratulations boy's " He smiled. "I'm Robert Powell, from Interscope..Can we talk?"

Jordan nodded, smiling and gestured for Robert to sit down. Angela and Sharon started jumping up and down behing his back, giddy with happiness for the band.

Sharon approached Shane. "You need to go sit with them Shane"

Shane just stood there, with a dumbstruck grin on his face.

"We won!" was all he could muster.

Sharon laughed "Yea you did, now go sit down"

She leant forward and kissed him very briefly on the lips. Shane raised his eyebrows.

Sharon pushed Shane towards where Robert and Jordan were seated. He shook Roberts hand.

"Gimme a sec bro" He looked to Jordan and Robert.

"What's up man" Jordan asked. He wanted to get on and see what this record exec had to say

"I really need to shit" Shane ran off towards the bathroom and Jordan laughed.

Sharon watched Shane run off yet again.

"That guy is fantastic" She laughed.

"To think you called him an imbecile as well" smiled Angela.
