Chapter 16


They sat there shocked, mouth open and saying nothing, then Phil started to talk up "Wh- What? You saved your brother from your crazy meth head mother?" Phil asked, I nodded. Phil walked over to me and hugged me "you did the right thing." He whispered into my ear, he kissed my forehead. I hugged him back.


"I love you dad!" I said, Phil looked down at me, shocked and speechless


"You- you called me dad." He had a big smile on his face, Dan came over and joined the hug


"Hey! What about me?" he giggled, we hugged. I looked over at Joey, he was staring at us. I opened my arms for him to join the hug. He ran up and joined the hug


"Um, can Joey live with us? You can adopt him!" I asked my parents, they looked at Joey then at me. They frowned


"Sorry EJ, we don't have the room for Joey and we don't think we are ready to have two kids around." Dan said calmly, I frowned. They knew I wanted to keep safe, they looked at each other again


"Look, think we know another couple that would have your brother" Phil reassuring me, I smiled


"And who is that?" I asked


Two weeks later.....


"Goodbye." I waved my brother off onto the airplane, I felt a tear fill my eye "Enjoy living with Shane and Lisa!" I sobbed, Joey was going to live in America, couldn't get over it! I waited until I couldn't see the plane anymore, I made my way back to the airport car parking where Dan and Phil were sitting in the car.


"Is he gone?" Dan asked starting the car


"Yeah" I sighed as I hopped in the car, I looked up at the sky, planes flying in different directions. A tear fell from my eye, I pretended like nothing happened


"I've got some good news!" Phil teased "I was on the phone with our radio producer and he said that everybody loved having you on there! He saying that you can be a permeant radio presenter!"


"Really?" I gasped, the radio show was amazing, two weeks ago. That is one thing I will remember forever! "I take it!" I acted excited, I still missed my brother and I had to go to court later this week for when I was kidnapped.

The drive home was silent the whole way, other than Dan's unintentional sighs every five minutes. I opened the door to my room, it was same as I left it, Joey's blown-up mattress on floor, bare and deflated. I sighed and flopped on my unmade bed, I played with the duvet then stared at the ceiling, my heart felt empty, without Joey I felt like nothing. My phone started vibrating, I picked it up 'Private Number' flashed up on the screen, I had voices going through my head  saying to answer, I answered the phone "Hello?" I stuttered, there was silence


"It's your fault I'm in prison."
