Cut Up Angels, chapter 6
We got to the cemetery an hour and a half later.
I made my way over to mum's stone, this was the only time I'd let go of Frank's hand.
It started to rain as I reached where my mum should be laying in peace. There were bits of flowers everywhere, off the wreath I'd had made for her. Someone had spray painted 'alcho' and 'bitch' on the stone itself. I knelt down on the grass, not caring how muddy and wet I got, and cried wondering what my mum had done to these people to deserve this.
Dad had phoned Jack to find out where we were. When he found out he came straight to the cemetery.
We spent hours cleaning up mum's grave and got back to the hotel at 7 thirty, I went straight to bed.
The next day I woke up at 11am because of my mobile ringing.
"Hello?" my eyes were still red and stinging from all the crying I'd done the day before.
"How you doing?" Came Chase's voice.
"You heard?" I mumbled.
"Yup, I went to pay my respects and saw it, I tried ringing you but you wouldn't pick up," Chase explained. My mum had always been like a 2nd mother to him and Zoey.
"Thanks," was all I could say.
"Er... Jack came back."
"He did?"
"Ye, he saw who'd done it and... Ra, he's been arrested."
"He... he what?" I asked in disbelief. "What happened? Were you there?"
"Ye I was. It was all quick to be honest. I went back to the cemetery and he was there. Next minute Carl Edwards appears and Jack starts attacking him, I tried to stop him but he just kept hitting him... " Chase explained. Carl Edwards? I should've guessed. Carl was an old boyfriend of my mum's, he was abusive towards her and me, she ditched him a few weeks before her accident. Jack has always wanted to get him own back on him ever since he found out that Carl used to hit us.
"Carl's in hospital Ra, the police came and are charging Jack with attempted murder."
"What?!" I exclaimed, they couldn't, I can't live without my big brother by my side.
" You and your dad need to get down here Ra and quick, Jack still has a chance," Chase said, I hoped he was right.
I put the phone down then ran down stairs coming face to face with dad, he looked kinda mad.
"Where's Jack?? He's taken my car again!"
"Er... how would you feel if I said we need to bail him outta jail?"
Jack has to go to court we don't know when the actual date is, the police want Carl to be there.
He's pretty bad. Carl I mean. I didn't know Jack had it in him to do something like that to someone, even someone as horrible as Carl.
We heard the whole story that night, me, dad, Caitlin and Frank. Jack had noticed Carl and his son, Dave, by mom's grave when he went back to the cemetery. He immediately saw red when he noticed they had spray paint cans. Dave ran straight away but Carl stayed, I now know that you should never stand near Jack when he's mad. He hit him, over and over again, until he was unconscious. It felt weird, talking about Jack like this, it feels like I don't know my brother anymore.
I went back to school on Tuesday. Not that I wanted to, dad made me. He told me that if we wanted to get back to normal I had to get back to school.
The guys had obviously heard what had happened from Frank as they kept quiet round me all day, not that I minded, I just wasn't in the chatting mood. Oh well only the rest of the week then half term thought to myself.
The day flew by, I went to watch MCR practise as usual then Frankie walked me home, he had a shift that night, it was weird how he went from not talking to me to being the chattiest person I've ever met.
We saw Jack going out of the hotel as we walked in, I waved and smiled a 'hi' but got ignored, what had happened to my big brother?
Half term soon came; I hung round the hotel alone for most of the first few days. On the 3rd I was woken by my phone ringing.
"Hello?"
"HEY!!" Chase shouted. I hate it when he does that; he calls it my wake-up call.
"Hey Chase, what you up to?" I asked, his school (my old one) had broken up at the same time as mine.
"Nothing much. OMG! GUESS WHAT!" he shouted once again.
"Why do you have to shout? And what?"
"Me and Zoey are coming to stay in your dads hotel!" I screamed happily, finally two people who I can relate to.
Chase and Zoey arrived the next day. I couldn't wait to introduce them to my new friends.
Zoey is everything the people who work at The Starling thought I'd be (apart from stuck up). She has long blonde hair, striking blue eyes and a quiet personality. She looks like the odd one out in out small group but isn't, she'd much prefer to have black hair but her parents are totally against it.
Chase on the other hand has dark brown shortish hair and hazel eyes, he is loud and annoying most of the time but that's why me and Zoey love him. He takes his skateboard wherever he goes and has withdrawal symptoms if he leaves it behind.
That night, around 7, me, Caitlin, Chase and Zoey were all lying on my bed watching the huge T.V when there was a knock at my door. It was Frank, Gerard, Mikey, Bob, Ray, Ira, Casey, Sharnee and Simone.
Once all the awkward introductions were over we all just lazed around my room, eating the free room service I could get and generally being squashed.
I noticed Frank looking at Chase evilly as he hugged me non-stop (another annoying habit he has), was he jealous?
I made my way over to mum's stone, this was the only time I'd let go of Frank's hand.
