Chapter 18 This was hard to write
John Brady, was in the Hollyoaks prison, with all the other thugs. He felt very unhappy. He wasn't use to be surrounded by men like himself. He put his back against the wall. A man named Gary Thompson stood next to him. He was innocent. "Hello" Gary grunted, to John the newbie. "Go away" John signed. "John" John shook his hand, the police guard looking over, to check it weren't drugs. "Gary" Gary replied. "Its awful place, to be away from your loved ones" Gary missed his six year old daughter Holly, and his thirteen year daughter Sally. He also missed his wife Georgia. He was in here, for assaulting his mother and auntie. He didn't really do it, it was his uncle but his uncle framed him. His mother and auntie, too scared to say anything. "What are you doing in here?" Gary asked him, Gary was too nice to be around these type of men. "Murdering my girlfriend, attacking my son, and abusing him as a child" John replied, like you would to a shop keeper. Gary's eyes widerened. "You must of had a reason" Gary was one of those people who saw positive in everything and everyone. "No reason" John grunted. It was quite strange for John, since nobody has talked to him like this. Talked to him like a normal human. "Have you got two pound for TV?" Gary asked. "No" John replied. "Oh, well you can have mine if you want" Gary shrugged. John shook his head."Okay, see you around John" Gary patted his shoulder, leaving for the TV room. John looked as Gary left, not believing that Gary didn't judge him. Gary walked into the TV room. A bit scared, of the thugs. "Gazza" they all cheered, taking the Mickey. Gary just laughed, but of cause it being a prison, it was not meant to make him laugh. But people forget there humans too. Gary went to sit down, but they pointed towards the floor. He did as he told looking up at the TV. Some episode of Crime Watchers was on. The police guards, couldn't believe Gary was in this place. He was a lovely man. "Gazza! Move your flipping big head" one shouted. Gary nodded, lieing down, with his eyes watching the upside down TV. Well it looked like that, he wasn't going to waste his two pounds though. So he had to watch it, with a sore neck.
Back in Hollyoaks, things were not very happy once again. With the court case, in just two days. Lots of people were there as witnesses. It included Brendan, Cheryl, Florence Brady. Texas Longford. Riley Costello. Mark and Dennis Savage. Leanne Holiday. Eileen Anderson. Mercedes Fisher. Simon Walker. Amy Barnes. Ally Gorman. Steven Hay and of cause John Brady, the man in question. The crimes which he had to defend, were attacking Brendan, leaving him paralized. Abusing Brendan from the ages five to sixteen. Murdering Lindsey Nolan. It was going to be a long, exhausting trial. Texas was with Simon, in his home with Ken and his ex wife Alice. So things were a little awarkd. "So Texas, what is your function?" Alice asked, she spoke quite posh. "Your job" Ken whispered in her ear. "Oh, my job is well I am a gym instructor" Texas smiled nervously. "A gym instructor, I would never of guessed" Alice was quite offensive. "Why?" Texas asked, a little outraged. "Because gym instructors, are usually men or lesbians Alice was prejudice. Simon put his head in his hands. Texas was about to speak,but Walker cut her of. "Alice, can we have a word" Simon winked. "Yes" is she all said, going into the kitchen. "You cant speak to her like that" Walker crossed his arms. "I can, and I will. You have really lowered your standards Simon, first you date a lawyer, which is me, now your dating a gym instructor" she hissed.
Ste walked into the pub, Darren was staring at him. "Ste, you do know me and Riley had to kick out your boyfriend before" Darren told him. "Why? What did he do?" Ste asked. "He hit Dodger, and then punched Riley" Darren shrugged. Ste signed. "Why he do that?" Ste then asked. "Erm, well Dodger cause he beat you up, and Riley cause he called you some very nasty names" Darren replied, this was awarkd. "What did he call me?" Ste crossed his arms. "Erm, A camp dyslectic dumb-ass" Darren just been honest. It was easier. That hurt Ste to know Riley called him that. He couldn't be angry, at Brendan for that so he walked outside, walking to the club. Where Brendan was. "Hey" Ste said. He sniffed. "Steven, what is wrong?" Brendan asked, walking over. "Nothing" Ste replied. "Come on Steven" Brendan put his hand behind Stevens head. "I heard about what Riley said, and that must mean others might think that" Ste sniffed again. "No, its not" Brendan, kissed Steven gently on the lips. Brendan held onto him. "You be fine Steven" Brendan let go, when Warren walked in. Brendan pulled Steven by his side. "Foxy?" Brendan asked, confused he was here. "I thought you were in prison" Brendan held onto Stevens hand, as Warren walked closer. "No Brady, dont worry the police let me of" Warren smiled.
Back in prison, John was in a bunk bed, with Garry on the bottom. John on top. "You asked me why I did it, before" John grunted, he wanted to tell someone about him. Cause nobody ever has "I did yeah, but John, you dont have to tell me, if you dont want to" Gary looked up. "I hate myself, a lot of people dont relize this" John started. "So when Brendan was born, I could not handle it, he was my responsibly, my mother and father helped out a lot" John was cut of by Gary. "What about his mother?" Gary then asked. "Oh god, his mother was a little girl, she was 12, oh god I,m a monster aren't I?" John started crying real tears, for the first time in years. "How old were you,John?" Gary asked him straight. John breathed in and out. "I was well, I weren't that old, I might of" John was cut of by Gary. "John, how old were you" Gary repeated. "I was 22" John was so ashamed. Gary mouth opened. "Oh my god, so she was a child, a little girl, not even teenager yet, she was 12, did you know she was 12?" Gary decided to ask. "I didn't know how old she was, she looked older, not like that any excuse" John let more tears fall down. "Did she want it?" Gary asked, getting into the deep, deep parts of John Brady. "Of cause she didn't John hissed. "So how did you explain, when Brendan was born" Gary was cut of. "Lloyd, she wanted to call him Lloyd" John smiled a little. "Okay, how did you explain, an 12 year old girl having your baby?" Gary asked. "They didn't know it was mine, I lied, so even to this day, they dont know its mine" John replied. It was true. The Bradys, didn't now Brendan was really family. They took him under his wing, not knowing he as their any ways. Brendan never found the truth, even though its a lie. Its very confusing. "Oh My God, so is Brendan yours?" Gary asked."No! Look I lied okay, he is my uncle Derek's son" John cried. "Derek slept with that 12 year old" he added, in tears. Gary's eyes widerened. "I cant tell Brendan that, I cant" John grunted. "So your his cousin, not his father" Gary fell asleep. It was true, it was indeed Derek's son John just lied to cover him up, he lied and told the truth at the same lie. It a very confusing family affair.
Brendan walked across, to where Eileen was. She had the paperwork. Florence was behind him. Ste sat next to Brendan and Eileen in between. "Oh so your Steven" Florence was still trying to get out of it. "Yeah" Ste said. Eileen slammed the paperwork down. Florence jumped. "Right, listen to me" Eileen was cut of by Ste. "No, you should get arrested too" Ste was referring to when she kicked him out and hurt Brendan a little with John. "Yeah, we should all get arrested, have a big prison party" Florence went to stand up. "Sit down" Eileen told her. Florence signed, sitting back down. With her back to Eileen. "Turn around" Eileen ordered. She turned around, her face on the bar now. "Look up" Eileen thought she was being ridlous. She looked up. "Right, we need to sort this" Eileen said.
