Contains disturbing sceans - I hate what I,m doing to Brendan.
Chapter 8
Police were in the village, searching for Lindsey's killer. Texas looked over, with Leanne. Leanne put her head on Texas's shoulder. "It was not your fault Tex" Leanne pouted. "No its our fault, If we did not leave Brendan to die, Lindsey would not of had to go back for his clothes" Texas was over thinking it. "And if Ste and Brendan did not go to the fish and streak place, it wouldn't of happened its not your fault" Leanne replied. PC Madsen, was interviewing Mercedes. "So Mrs Fisher, you say the last thing you heard of Lindsey, was when you went back to collect Brendan's things" PC Madsen, was doing a routine check out. "Yep" Mercy nodded. "How did she seem to you?" she asked her, crossing her arms. "Fine, she seemed fine" Mercy lied, for no reason then wanting to go of. Lindsey told her, that a man was after her, text her if she seen a man. Mercy saw a man, said nothing. PC Madsen nodded. "Thank you" she walked of, putting her pen back. Texas shook her head. "Come on" Leanne put her arm around Texas. She walked with her, they both bumped into Amy. Dodger did it, after Ste got kicked out by John and Eileen. Dodger seen him, beating him up. Walker was right,he did not put up a struggle. "Amy" Texas let tears roll down, she heard about Dodger beating up Ste. Brendan did not know. Amy sworn to Ste,she would not tell. He had a point, if he did then Brendan would be tormented, knowing he can not do anything. Amy slapped her, pushing her to he wall. Leanne dragging Amy of her and chucking her on the floor. Texas let more tears roll down her face. "Dodger beat up Ste! How can you defend that!"Amy got up. "I know, I,m sorry" Texas cried. Amy went berserk. "NO WAY! YOU THINK STE DESERVED IT!" Amy screamed, so angrily. She cared for Ste. That what Terry use to do. "No" Texas shook her head, still crying. Amy scoffed.
Back at the hospitable, John was in with Brendan. Cheryl was gone. Ste was kicked out. Eileen and John were in with him. Both tormenting him. Even Eileen, but she was a bitch. "I want Steven" he let tears roll down. John laughing with Eileen. "Dont worry, you see Steven again, in a body bag" he laughed again, Eileen smiling. "Dodger already beat him" Eileen heard it of Cheryl, who heard it of Amy. "No" Brendan said, almost mute. "I tell you what, I make you a deal, you end it with Steven, and I can look after you, or you dont and I kill Steven, what you say, I phone him for you" John got out his phone. "Pretend I,m Cheryl" Eileen smiled. "No" Brendan was being tortured. "Brendan" Ste answered. "Steven, I dont want you" Brendan was holding back tears. "What do you mean?" Ste asked, not liking where this was going. "Its called dumping you" he was finding it really hard now, to sound mean. "No" Ste let tears roll down. Brendan groaning, to stop tears. "Go away, never come back to me" Brendan spoke, closing his eyes. "Go away!" Brendan mangered to shout. Eileen put the phone back. John laughed. "Good boy" John looked at Eileen. Brendan could not hold back any-more. He started sobbing. "Shut it!" John snarled, slapping him around the face. He did it again. Continually to do it, knowing he could not do anything. Eileen sat on the bed, on Brendan. "He cant feel, dont worry" she laughed. "No, but he can here" he squeezed his neck. Letting go. Brendan coughed. Brendan let more tears fall. Knowing Steven was not coming back. "Were not going to tell Cheryl are we?" Eileen asked. "No" Brendan replied. "Good boy" Eileen said. John smiling. He was loving it. "I want Steven" he cried like a little kid. "oh well you dumped him remember" John mocked, laughing widely. Eileen tutted. "Thats enough John" Eileen said, she was brought back to Earth. This was not her. "What do you mean, oh dont do what Lindsey did" John said. Brendan looked up. "What Lindsey do?" he asked. "Nothing" John replied, spitefully. Brendan could not speak any more. It was too much. He thrented to kill Steven. So many people have, Danny, Warren, Walker, even Joel. He thought Steven must be better of without him. Since they are so many risks. So many people threting him. He cant protect him any more.
Ste was in his bedroom. Reeling from the phone call. He was nursing his bloody leg. And his black eye. From Dodgers cruel attack. Ste knew Brendan, he knew Brendan did not want to do it, but why? He could not think. Amy walked in, with a bruise on her face as well. From Leanne. She lied next to Ste. "What happened?" Ste asked, expecting Amy to be next in the firing line. "Leanne" she replied. "Brendan broke up with me" Ste grunted, looking at the wall. "What! Why?" she asked. "I do not know" Ste replied. Amy shook her head. "It seems so strange, why would he dump you now" Amy was not believing it. "Amy, there were something wrong with him" Ste replied, feeling sad. He started sobbing, at the thought. Brendan was being forced. "What do you mean?" Amy asked him. "He was crying Ames, I could tell" Ste let tears roll down. Suddenly his phone went of. It was Doug. "Hey" Ste said. Amy got up, to leave and go in the bathroom to clean her face, in other words, she wanted Ste to talk privetly to Doug. "How is everything? I bet Brendan wont let you out the bedroom" he chuckled. Ste breathed in and out. "Ste? What it is? He has not done anything to do, has he?" Doug asked, worried even if they were about 3,000 miles apart. "No! Why do you all think that" he groaned. "I lied, our date went horrible, he got attacked and now he dumped me" Ste let tears roll down. "Who attacked him?" Doug asked, like a social service person. "His dad" he replied, with no emotion. "Well, how did he dump you, Sorry Ste, for assuming he hit you" Doug was nervous now. "He dumped me over the phone" Ste replied. "How is he? Where is he?" Doug was asking too many questions. "He is in hospitable now, paralized" Ste let more tears fall. "Oh I,m sorry Ste, its not forever though" Doug tried to cheer him him up, but it was hard. "It might be forever" Ste sobbed. "Well why dont you go and talk to him, face to face" Doug breathed in and out. "I cant" Ste replied, Amy was secretly lisitering in. "Why not?" Doug asked. "Because his dad and ex wife kicked me out" he groaned. "What and you just left Brendan all alone with them" Doug was slightly disgusted. He would never do that. Ste gasped. "Crap" he grunted. "Go to him Ste" Doug mumbled. "I will, Doug I miss you, as a friend" Ste replied, breathing. "Yeah, yeah, just go to him Ste, be careful, dont get involved with his dad and ex wife, they sound bad news, bye" Doug put the phone down. Ste. Amy walked in. "Ste, what he say?" Amy asked. "And what do you mean, you just left him" Amy raised her voice slightly. "Yeah, cause they kicked me out" Ste was being selfish. "Yes, and I wonder why? Brendan is probably really scared, you are the only thing left for him, god knows why" Amy tutted. "Oh please, he got Cheryl" he shook his head. "Wow, he got his sister, I think he wants his boyfriend" Amy looked at him. "Well, I,m beaten" Ste showed her, his arm. "Ste! He is paralized! I thought you loved him, you dumped Doug for him" Amy tutted. "Brendan dumped me, you know I fancy a one night stand tonight" Ste did not mean it. Amy slapped him around the face. "Go to Brendan, your all he has left" Amy moaned. "You just left him, if you knew he did not want to do it, then why are you here? And not with him" Amy asked. "Where are the kids?" Ste asked, changing the subject. "Out with my dad, he is staying here soon, him and Zoe broke up" Amy signed, getting up. Putting on her shoes.
Brendan looked around. Seeing his worst nightmare over and over again. His dad, his ex wife and his sister in the same room. And he did not mean Cheryl. His other sister Victoria, the snobby one. "So Brendan, how did this random attack occur?" PC Gold ask. John looked at him, punching his hand, with his fist. To show him what he do to Steven, if he told. "I dont who it was, I think it was random mugger" Brendan breathed in and out. "Mr Brady and Miss Anderson and Miss Brady. would you like to leave, so I can speak to Mr Brady alone" she demanded, knowing things were not right. They looked between each other, nodding. going outside. "Okay Mr Brady, let start again, How did this attack occur?" she asked again, she was not stupid. "It was random, I told you" he groaned. "Yes and I want the truth" she replied. "I TOLD YOU! I LOVE STEVEN, SO DONT MAKE ME DO THIS!" Brendan was breathing heavily. "I,m not making you do anything, Mr Brady, Because I been talking to Miss Longford, Texas, and the man she described fit your dads description" she looked away. "Theres loads of men, who look like that, he looks common" Brendan signed. He was not going to win. The door sprung open, with Amy in the doorway. "It was his dad police officer, Ste told me" Amy said, breathlessness. PC Gold nodded. Brendan looked over. Ste broke his promise. He promised he would never tell. but he told Amy. "No! Ste is lieing, My dad would never do just a thing!" Brendan called him Ste. "Brendan, dont do this, we can get him arrested" Amy did not understand why he was so protective. "NO! TELL STE, I HATE HIM AND I ONLY USED HIM FOR HIS BODY!" Brendan searched. "Brendan, dont do this, you dont deserve it, Ste loves you" Amy knew this was tormenting him and eating him up. "I want Steven" he cried. "I know, I know" Amy wiped away a tear, it was a sad thing. "Please, Brendan tell them" Amy was hoping he would. "No, its a lie, It was not him" Brendan was so worried for Stevens safety and he could not protect him, like this. "Amy Barnes, I,m arreresting you for wasting police time" PC Gold, arrested. her. Amy tutted. Going out. She would just spend a day on the cell. For "lying". John looked over, smiling. Brendan was going back to being the sheepish 14 year old boy, he once was. Down the corridor, was Liberty. Dennis admitted to her, what he saw. She wanted to speak to Brendan. John looked as she walked. "Where are all these hot chicks coming from?" he asked, laughing. "Welcome to Hollyoaks John, its the land of beautiful people" Eileen scoffed. Liberty walked in. Brendan was sobbing. "Are you okay?" she asked, nervously. "Yes" is all he said.
