it has been a week since my parents funeral, i stand infront of my mirror lookin at myself, the bags under my eyes were dreadful, jess had stated screaming in the nights keeping me and Jamie awake, it starts at around 2am until around 7am, so we have started early nights but it isn't helping as we are too worried jess will do something while we sleep, i quickly look away and walk almost marching to my brothers room and walk in hes laying on his bed hands tangled in his hair and legs up by his bum knees in the air, he looks at me with a far away expression,
'we're moving to aunt martha's, jess isn't coming she's going to stay with nan' it took me a minute to register what he had just said, my aunt martha lives in australia while we live in england
'WHAAATT!' i almost yell 'aunt martha as in australian aunt martha! we're going to australia! for how long?! we can't just leav jess with nan, thats unfair on nan!' i had a few more things to rant at him about but he cut me off
'it was jess's idea paige' i was confused now, i hadn't heard jess talk since before the funeral
'she actually spoke?' i asked still shocked
'yeh last night, you were asleep and i was in the kitchen she came in and said your moving to aunt marthas, i can't look after you here, i'm going to stay with nan sell the house and split the money between us. then she went to her bedroom again, and when i woke up these were on my dresser' he passed me two plane tickets, i quickly read them they were one way, to australia,for me and Jamie, tommorrow night!
'so we're really going?' i asked
'looks like it, go pack your stuff then' i nodded and left his room. i went back to my own and pulled out my electric blue suitcase and started to pack.
****
i picked my suitcse up and lifted it into the taxi boot before walking over to jess she looked distant but she wasn't crying which was good, i walked up to her and grapped her wrists, i quickly examined them for fresh scarring but there wasn't any i heard her lightly chuckle and looked up at her
'don't worry i'm not gonna start again' she smiled at me, it was the first time i'd seen her smile so i smiled back
'i'm gonna miss you so much jess' i pulled her into a hug and she hugged me back
'i'm gonna miss you too paige' we pulled out of the hug her hands resting on my shoulders 'have fun in australia, who knows i might come out and join you if your having too much fun' i laughed and hugged her again before getting into the taxi with jamie, where we drove off too the airport.
