I am so so sorry for not updating sooner. I was busy with school and i totally blanked on my stories. But i promise i will work my butt of to get them finished. Hope you enjoy.
"So where were you all morning? Emma said that you disappeared at like 6am on your bike." Clarissa said, her and Tyler sitting on Tyler's bed next to each other.
"I was visiting Damian. I ran into his mum last night at the bowling alley and asked if I could visit him. And it was 7am." Tyler replied and Clarissa gave him a small smile.
"So, I heard that your mum is getting the Christmas tree out tonight." Clarissa said.
"More like dad is and mum will sit and watch him do the work and then claim she did. She'll do some of the decorating, but dad will do most of the work." Tyler said.
"Yeah. That sounds more like your parents." Clarissa said and Tyler rolled his eyes with smirk.
"I rode past your house on the way here by the way. Nice tree in the window." Tyler said.
"Blame my mother. You know what she's like." Clarissa said.
"Yeah. She searched through my parents room last year. You should have heard my dad. He was not happy." Tyler said.
"I would have your mum would have gone off." Clarissa said.
"So did everyone else, but dad just completely lost it. He was so angry. Later that night he just collapsed though. One minute he was doing the dishes and the next he was on the floor. Turns out he was way to stressed, but it was the scariest thing I'd ever seen. Mum was out as well and it was just dad and I home so I freaked out and had to call the ambulance. Mum was terrified when I called her and told her what had happened." Tyler said.
"Well, I don't blame her. Your mum and dad have the strongest love anyone has ever seen." Clarissa said.
"I guess that's true." Tyler sighed and Clarissa smiled, resting her head on his shoulder as his arms went around her waist. A comfortable silence filled the room for the next few minutes before Clarissa looked up at him.
"I love you." She said softly and Tyler put one of his hands under her chin.
"I love you too." He said before leaning down to kiss her softly, their lips moving in perfect sync. After a minute, the kiss got deeper and they were pulling each other closer, Clarissa's arms around his neck and Tyler's left arm around her waist, his right hand twisted through her hair.
Downstairs as they were making out, Sam and Freddie were out in the shed and Freddie was looking for the Christmas decorations.
"You could hurry up you know. The tree is waiting for you to hurry up." Sam said.
"I'm looking as fast as I can." Freddie snapped.
"Don't get snappy with me. You're taking too long." Sam said and Freddie rolled his eyes. He then found the box and was midway through pulling it down from the shelf when something sharp sliced Freddie's arm and he reared back in back.
"What now?" Sam asked. Freddie then looked down at his hand and his eyes widened when he saw a deep gash running down the side of it, blood running down the side of his hand already and dripping onto the floor.
"Oh my god. What did you do?" Sam asked, quickly going to his side and grabbing his hand.
"I cut it on something. I feel sick." Freddie said. Sam, who knew blood made him queasy, quickly pulled him with her to the kitchen and put his hand under the water.
"Ow." Freddie whined as the sting hit.
"I know baby. We should probably get this checked out by a doctor." Sam said.
"I thought you wanted to decorate for Christmas." Freddie said.
"That was until you sliced your hand on something. We don't know what it was and I don't want you getting sitting with hepatitis or something." Sam said and Freddie nodded just as Jason walked into the house with Ashton.
"What's going on exactly?" Ashton asked, slightly confused at what her parents were doing.
"I'm taking your dad to the hospital because he cut his hand open. We'll be back in a little while. Don't go anywhere while we're gone." Sam said as she turned off the tap and wrapped a clean tea towel around Freddie's hand to try and stop the bleeding.
"Okay. Don't get hepatitis B or something dad." Jason said as he sat on the couch and Freddie rolled his eyes. He and Sam then left and Ashton sat on the couch next to her older brother.
"How was dance class?" Jason asked.
"Fun. We learnt a new dance today and I get to be one of the leads." Ashton said.
"What song is it?" Jason asked.
"Ugly Heart. We did auditions for it last week and I got it." Ashton said.
"Good on you." Jason said and Ashton smiled.
"I'm stoked to get the part in it." Ashton said. Laughter then drifted down from upstairs and Jason and Ashton looked to the roof.
"Clarissa must still be over." Ashton said.
"Probably. She was still here when I left to pick you up and I guess Tyler got home." Jason said.
"Where was he? He was gone before I had gotten out of the bathroom and I was only in there for 10 minutes this morning." Ashton said.
"I think he went to visit Damian. He said something about it last night at the bowling alley." Jason replied.
"Didn't Damian just get back from camp?" Ashton asked.
"I think so. But I also heard from a friend that he was in hospital in a trauma unit. Apparently he was attacked by some guy in an alley and, well, I'll leave it to your imagination. Some kid saved him by beating the man with a metal pole a couple times and then calling the cops." Jason said and Ashton's eyes widened.
"It's just a rumour though right?" Ashton asked softly.
"Exactly. There's also ones about him going to rehab and a mental institution and even juvie." Jason said.
"But you believe the alley one?" Ashton asked.
"I don't know what to believe, but I definitely don't want to believe that. Seems like a terrible thing to have to go through." Jason said.
"What else have you heard on that rumour?" Ashton asked.
"Just that there's a court case about a week after New Year. If it's just a rumour, there's definitely a lot of information on it. That's what makes me worry." Jason said.
"I'm sure it's just a rumour. Lots of things like that get made up." Ashton said.
"Yeah, but how many of them have so much depth?" Jason asked and Ashton stared at him in worry.
