"Ugh, I hate hospital food!" Chris said taking a bite out of his apple.
"Don't worry; we will be out of here no time." Jill assures him.
"How long have we've been here?" Helena said leaning her head against a wall. "We've been here for…" Sherry glances at a hospital clock. "We've been here over two hours." "When is our parents going to be here?!"
"Chris?!" A voice said approaching him. It was Mrs. Redfield. "Oh my god! Are you alright?" "Yeah mom I'm fine." "Where is your sister?" His father asks. "She's doing an interview with one of the cops."
"Well, I'm sorry boss! Yes. Yes…I understand. Look, I came here to pick up my daughter! Something happen last night and I'm going to find out what happen." Mrs. Birkin hangs up her phone and rushes towards Sherry. "Sherry! What the hell happen?! This better be good because I just left an very important meeting and-"
"Mom. I'm sorry okay?" "Sorry does not cut it! Your father and I tried our very best to raise you to be a young lady and this is what I find you?! Right now you're supposed to be in your room stud-"
"Hey!" Jake said walking up to Sherry and her mother. "Jake stop." "No alright. This ends here." "Um who is he?" Her mother asks crossing her arms. "Oh this is my friend Jake." "Didn't your father and I discuss to you that you can't have guy friends? How many times are we going to have to tell you Sherry?"
"What the hell?" Chris said chuckling.
"Mom! Look, first of all. You and dad never raise me okay? I had to raise myself! You two were never around whenever I needed you guys. Every time I wanted to talk to you guys, you guys kept on saying, sorry Sherry I can't talk to you right now. Busy with work."
"What do you expect Sherry? Your father and I are always occupied with our work." "I always knew that but I think it's time you know that all my life I have been alone mom. You never allow me to go outside hang out with friends, have friends come over to our house. I just think it's time I make my own decisions. Besides, I'm going off to college so."
Sherry's mother stood there quiet.
Chris started to laugh. "Burn!" Jill told him to hush.
"Sherry. I'm sorry…"
Sherry and her mother hug each other.
Piers parents enter inside of the room. "Where the hell is Piers?" His mother asks glancing around the room. "Oh, Piers is doing an interview." Chris told her. "Well, he needs to hurry up and do some explaining."
Piers enter inside of the room. "Damn, what a day!" "Yeah. Tell me about it." His mother said giving him a mean stare.
Everyone's parents in the room started to enter inside of the room including the police officers. One of the police officers told the each parents what was going on.
"Sherry! You have no business in that!" Her mother shouted. "Mom, they are my friends! What was I supposed to do?"
"You know what, I don't care." Piers mother said getting up from her seat. "Piers should have died just how he did not save his sister from jumping off the bridge. Instead, he watches her jump off."
"It wasn't my fault!" Piers shouted getting up from his seat too. "What you didn't know about Rose was that she always said things and does things around your back! She wasn't an innocent little girl like you thought she was. Remember the time when you fell down the stairs? And come to find out you trip over one of her toys?"
"Piers. It was an accident…" She told him annoyed. "No it was not. That same day you told Rose that she couldn't go to ballet class and she told you she hated you. Why in the fucking world would I put her skate's in the stairs for somebody can trip? Let's be honest here mom. Before Rose was born, there wasn't a problem was it?"
"Piers stop! Just stop! What you're telling me has nothing to do with what happen last night and years ago!"
"I'm just making a point here mother. You remember Jill and Chris right? They were there. They both even told you what really went down." "But they are your friends Piers. Friends can lie too." "Mom. Rose jump off the bridge. I even told her we shouldn't be on that bridge but she thought that because it was her birthday-"
"Leave me alone!" His mother leaves the room and Piers sighs. "She just can't handle the truth." Chris said.
Later that day, Piers decided to take a walk in the park. As he was walking on the bridge, he notices Claire looking at the lake. At first, Piers wanted to turn back around and pretend that he never even notice her. But then he realizes that he needs to talk to her. Not because he's crushing on her, he just wants to make things right between him and her.
"Hey…" he told her looking out the lake too.
"Piers? What are you doing here?" She asks.
"Well I was taking a walk and I see you here so I said to myself why not talk to you to make things right?"
"Oh. I thought you were mad at me?" "I was never mad at you. I was just a bit hurt and disappointed in you." "I'm kind of disappointed in myself actually. This whole situation…I was very stupid. It's too bad you never got to see the real me." She laughs a little.
"Is it okay if I can talk to the real Claire Redfield now?" "You are" Piers put his hand over Claire's hand. Claire looks up at him confused. She likes Piers a lot but she still felt like she doesn't deserve him. After all they've both been through. Actually, all the things she put him through!
"Piers…I-I can't do this." She slip her hand from underneath is and move it to her side. "I don't deserve you okay? After all the things we've both been through? Well, all the things I put you through!"
"It's okay Claire. Stop saying that. Let's just put that behind us okay? It's the past. How come you always push me away whenever I try to love you?" "I already told you Piers. I think I know someone who wouldn't treat you the way I treated you. Someone who will never hurt you."
"And who is that someone?" "Helena." She told him.
Piers look back at the lake and then look back at Claire who was staring at him. "I'm pretty sure Helena doesn't want me." "She does. Just promise me you will love her the way how you loved me." Claire put her hand on top of Piers hand this time.
They both stare at each other for a minute until Claire took her hand off of his and look away. "Well uh…I should get going. See you around." She smiles at him before she left.
Piers watch Claire left. As soon as she was out of sight, he took his phone out of his pocket and texted Helena:
Piers: Want to hang out next week?
Helena was inside her bedroom doing homework's that she did not do. She stops working on a math problem to go check on her phone that buzz next to her. She picks it up and smiles seeing who the message was from. Quickly she texted back,
Helena: Sure. If I'm not grounded :x
Piers laugh at her text message and texted her back.
Piers: Same here. But I will do anything to see that beautiful smile of yours.
Helena giggles and texted him back.
Helena: Oh God stop.
Piers: Okay :)
Helena: I'll let you know how long I'm grounded later on okay.
Piers: Well, if you're grounded for a month then the only thing we can do is hang out in your room and do homework and talk. Or maybe left off from last time ;)
Helena bites her lower lip and just stares at his text message. "Helena?!" Her father shouted from downstairs. Shit. She thought to herself.
Helena: TTYL. Dad is coming upstairs to check on me. He doesn't want me on my phone: P :( :/
Piers: It's alright. I understand. Good luck.
Piers put his phone away and heads home. He was kind of glad that everything was going to be the way it was before. Although, he and Helena has a thing for each other now and his best friend Chris is dating Jill. Those two will be the only thing different this time.
He enters inside of his home and his mother was right in front of him. "Mom? Is everything okay?" He asks concern. Without answering his question, Piers mother pulls him in for a tight hug and apologizes to him.
"I'm sorry Piers! I'm sorry for making your life like a living hell! I know it must've suck for you to be blame on your sister's death. I love you so so much. I'm glad you're alive. I love you Piers."
"I love you too mom. Always have and always will." He smiles and hugs his mother back. For the first time of Piers life, he felt like everything was going to be okay.
