Lovin' George Gallagher

chapter twenty four

and guess what George " she said to me.
I looked up as she said “it's your child she's carrying, that night before you locked her up, do you remember what happened? "
I was shocked‘ no it cant be it was the maid. I turned to her and she smirked as she walked upstairs. Johnson said to me“ come have a seat let's talk about it "
I couldn't even say anything, i just followed as i sat down opposite Johnson.
He started“ you know, i knew june when we were little, we were best friends and we are still best friends. I remembered her being innocent and always happy even when her parents weren't there for her. Her parents filed for divorce and that was where her nightmare started, she was left with the butler, they didn't even care about her. They pretended that she didn't exist. Brian is her father's child but isn't her mother's child that was why he was living in california with her grandma. They couldn't divorce because of certain reasons, so decided to have an open marriage. Imagine walking in to see your father or mother on the couch having sex. She was broken, she was just thirteen. I was the first person she could call when she was in trouble. She didn't have any one to teach her basic things about puberty. She was seventeen when she attempted her first sucide." His eyes were red and mine too. “she was broken, she didn't say anything for months and when she finally did she said “ i must kill Richard". Richard  is her mother's boyfriend and he was always coming over to visit. I didn't know what happened but she doesnt let anybody touch her. It took me months to finally be able to touch her. She met Lexi and they became best friends and that was all she needed then Hannah came along. She attempted sucide two years later and Hannah called her brother since her parents didn't care. We had to take her to a therapist and that was where she met David he broke all her barriers the first day he met her. We would have fixed them together but they didn't have feelings for each other. We didn't know what made her attempt sucide again, she wouldn't tell us. So we didn't ask her about it. She has been painting for six years now and it's thanks to her first therapist. He died later on and that was how David became her doctor and friend.
She dated one guy for ten months and they broke up, she landed in the hospital again. She refused to tell me his name and that is the only secret Lexi is keeping from me. She wouln't tell me his name but she was always blaming herself for June's condition. And guess what i found out she was abused by that guy. she always flinch when someone wants to touch her later we found out that she was haphephobic, claustrophobic and she is always having panic attacks when people touch her " i was tearing up already because i hurt her so much. I felt like killing myself. I didn't know what to say so johnson continued“ and we have to be careful about what we say to her, so i want you to apologise to her and try as much as possible to set things right." He stood up as he said “i need to go check on Lexi ". I left also and i went back to the mansion and i saw the maid that day so i called her and asked“ that night i asked you to bring water for me, did you bring it?" She looked guilty. “please sir,dont fire me, i was going to give you but i was scared then madam saw me and collected it from me"
“you can leave " i said. I walked upstairs to June's room. I knocked “come in" she said.
I saw her lying on the bed and she was looking pale. I knelt down near her as i asked “ Julie are you okay? " she nodded. “i'm good but why are you here? "
“i want to talk to you " i said.
“dont apologise to me, i dont want to talk about it " she said with red eyes.
“i'm sorry, June " i said.
“ why, what are you apologising for? "
“for everything "
“okay,i forgive you"
“i am sorry, Julie "
“oh you are, what should i do about it, should i hug you. What can your sorry do to me George, can it change all the things you said to me, and why are you here did Lexi tell you that i am carrying your child and since your girlfriend lost her child you want mine"
“ that's why i m saying sorry "
“okay"
“that's all?" I asked.
“is that all you want to say" she asked coldly.
She stood up and rushed to the bathroom, i followed her. I saw throwing up, i helped her hold her up and i patted her back. I stopped when i remembered that she was haphephobic. She held my hands as she stood up. And i was suprised that she touched me.“ help me out " she said.
“sure " i carried her to the bed.
“i'm so sorry, Julie and i want to make it up to you, i want to be there for you and our child "
“It's okay and even if you cant be there for me at least be there for our child. " she said as she hugged me and i felt better.
