Chapter 3
"What's he doing here" Freddie spat as he spotted Robbie standing beside Sinead. He was burning with anger at the sight in front him. Robbie rushed back into the flat leaving Sinead red faced. Freddie figured he wouldn't bother confronting Robbie yet. " It's not what it looks like Freddie honest" Sinead pleaded " Save it, I know exactly what it was, get rid of him I need to talk to you" he retorted causing Sinead to look worried at what he needed to talk to her about. Robbie was sat on the sofa when the two entered the flat. "Get out, I'll deal with you later" Freddie said as he gave his younger brother a glare. "I'm sorry bruv" Robbie had regret in his eyes. "I don't wanna hear it" Freddie shouted. Robbie said not another word and left the flat.
"Sit down Sinead, please" He asked, Sinead did as she was told. Freddie wanted to get this over and done with, he was angry at finding Robbie at the flat but he knew he wasn't as angry as he should have been. "I'm sorry Freddie honest; I didn't know what I was doing. After you left I went back to the dog, later on Robbie found me and took me back to the flat and we slept together" Sinead sobbed. He pulled her into a hug he couldn't stand seeing her cry. He sighed hard and realised that he couldn't tell her what he came here to say. "Don't let it happen again babe" Freddie soothed. He hated how forgiving he was being but deep down he was still working out what he needed to say to her. Today wouldn't be a good time to say it with her being already upset. "I won't, what did you want to say" She asked looking up at him and into his eyes. "Don't worry about it, it can wait" He said as he softly kissed her lips. The couple were interrupted by Katie's cry.
While Sinead went to settle Katie Freddie was sat with his head in his hands thinking how stupid he was being, he longed for Lindsey to come and tell him that everything would be okay but he knew he was digging himself into a deeper and deeper relationship with Sinead and he knows that as time goes on then it will be harder for him to break her heart. Freddie hated the thought of breaking Sinead's heart but his heart is breaking everyday seeing Lindsey so happy with Joe.
"It's alright she just wanted something to eat" Sinead said as she re joined Freddie in the lounge. He nodded and smiled in acknowledgement. "I'm gunna head to the garage, Joe will probably be wondering where I am " He said as he got himself ready to leave " Okay, come round after yeah" Sinead clapped with glee as she got up and kissed Freddie's cheek. " I'll see what time I finish. If it's after 7 then I'll go straight home" he pulled her into a hug and spun her around. He quickly said bye and made his way to the garage. Part of him was quite happy that he was getting away as he couldn't stand faking his love for her any longer.
Before heading to the garage Freddie popped to Price Slice to grab something for lunch, the time was nearing midday at this point and Freddie was becoming pretty peckish. He scanned the isles for something appetizing. He decided on a chicken and bacon wrap, he picked it up from the top shelf of the fridge and made his way to the till. "Alright Freddie" Cindy said in a flirty manor "Not too bad, yourself?" he asked. "Even better now you're here" She said fluttering her eyelashes. Freddie smiled, shook his head and paid for the wrap, he then left Price Slice.
Just as Freddie passed The Loft a loud screech of tires were heard along with a high pitched familiar scream. In just a couple of seconds of hearing those sounds Freddie's world came crashing down. As he rushed over to the scene he fell to his knees and sobbed. He needed to man up; he needed to help the lifeless female in front of his eyes. He didn't have the strength to get up he just watched the people around him tending to the seriously injured young woman. "Freddie" Darren shouted. Freddie lifted his head. "She is asking for you" Darren announced. Freddie rushed to her side and held the hand which was reaching out to him. He kissed her head, he wanted to hold her forever and ever but he knew she was too fragile so holding her hand and staying with her would be his only option. "It's okay Linds, everything's going to be okay, stay with me" He asked as the tears rolled down his cheeks. Lindsey's eyes closed tight as she slipped back into an unconscious state.
