Cut Up Angels, chapter 5
"Oh my god, like who was the total hottie you were with?" Caitlin smirked.
"Er why are you talking like a prep? I asked confused.
"Just been talking to them, I'm back to normal now... Whatever that is!" Caitlin smiled still pointing at the three preppy girls sitting in reception. "So... Who is he?"
"Who's who?" Jack asked suddenly appearing from nowhere.
"Just this lad Ra was 'talking' to," Caitlin told him.
"Guys, nothing happened!" I protested.
"Right," Jack smirked. "Who was it?"
"It was Frank, but guys I told you, nothing happened!" I replied as Caitlin and Jack screamed and clapped their hands, still taking the mick outta the preppy girls.
I rolled my eyes the laughed. "Jack, you're such a girl!"
"Casey loves the fact that I'm in touch with my feminine side," Jack joked pretending to file his nails with an imaginary nail file.
"You and Casey are together?" I asked, Jack blushed. "Finally!" I added smiling.
"I really need to meet these people!" Caitlin announced. "I feel so left out!"
The next day was Saturday. Dad had planned something for us, meaning both me and Jack couldn't leave the hotel.
After about half an hour of watching crappy tv shows I decided to go and find Caitlin.
I slowly walked down the corridor.
"H.. Hey Raven," Came a voice from one of the store cupboards. I glanced to my left.
"Oh, hey Frankie! I forgot you worked here!" I smiled. I've never been shy around guys after growing up with Jack and his mates, even the ones I like.
"Can I talk to you about something?" he asked stepping into the corridor.
"Er sure."
"I... " before he could carry on Jack burst into the corridor, spotted me and ran over.
As he got closer I noticed that his grey eyes were brimmed with tears.
"What is it Jack?" I asked, the only time I've ever seen him cry was at mum's funeral. I know they didn't get along but there was some love in their relationship.
"Someone's... " there was a pause as Jack tried to calm himself down, his voice had been shaking with anger. "Someone's vandalised mum's gravestone."
"W... What?" I asked also starting to shake. Frank he'sitantly put his arm round me and I leant into his chest. He made me feel so safe. "Who? Why?" I started to cry and Frank hugged me tighter. My mum didn't deserve this.
"C'mon Ra," Jack said getting dad's car keys out of his pocket. "We can buy some flowers on the way."
"Will you come?" I asked Frank wiping my eyes.
"If you want me to come, course I will," he replied in a soothing tone.
Jack lead the way down the stairs as me and Frank followed close behind; my hand in his.
"Er why are you talking like a prep? I asked confused.
