Gone Forever

Chapter 15-Day Out

James's POV

It's the next week and I think that the paparazzi have gone. Finally.

"James!" shouts Riley.
"Yes!" I come into the living room where she is sitting watching the news.

"You know when I said about when the baby's due."
"Yes."
"Well...I sort of meant babies."
"Oh wow is it twins?!"
"No, it's identical triplets."
"What?!"
"Yeah weird right."
"No wonder your stomach's so big!"

"Ha, you need to go to rehearsals, I'll cook you a healthy breakfast with plenty of energy!"

"No no no. You're holding triplets! You need to rest I'll do it."

Riley's POV

It's really annoying when James says that I literally can't move because we need to protect our babies but at least it means he cares.
"Alright I'm going!" he says.

"Bye!" I can finally get the place to myself, well, and these three babies. I go into the kitchen and look around for what I could have to breakfast. The best I can find is some cereal so I have that. As I'm eating it I hear my phone ring.

Me-Hello?
Emily-Hi it's Em my life is a misery right now I've had paparazzi banging on my door
Me-Same but they went a while ago
Emily-Anyway I was wondering if you wanted to spend a day out together

Me-Like shopping
Emily-Yes

Me-I'm in come to mine
Emily-I'll be over in a minute

She hangs up which is then when I realize that I'm still in my dressing gown. I rush upstairs and search through my wardrobe. Normally I would have more time to find a perfect outfit. I pull out some light blue jeans and a white blouse. As I'm pulling my jeans on I hear a knock on the door. I pull them up quickly and rush downstairs.

"Hi come on in I just need to do my hair and makeup," I say.

"Normally you'd be more organised than that."
"James hasn't been letting me do anything cos I'm pregnant with triplets!"

"Oh really congratulations!"

"Thanks, anyway, I better get a move on." Emily sits on the sofa as I run upstairs and quickly do my hair and makeup. When I'm done I run back downstairs again.

"Right lets go!" I say.

We park our car and go to a cafe for lunch. Emily and I both have a hot chocolate and a BLT.

When we get back to the house I open the door and when I go into the living room I see James lying on the sofa.

"James are you asl..." I say.

"Huh?!" he says, suddenly waking up,"Where have you been?"

"Shopping with Emily."
"But you have to rest."
"So you basically expect me to sit around all day doing nothing."
"You can watch the telly." Emily and I sit down on the sofa and turn on the telly and as usual, it turns straight onto the news.

"From having no information from her daughters we are struggling to find out exactly why she did it. From many prison escape attempts, some succeeding, she has been chained to the walls of her cell. This has very rarely had to happen but this is a severe condition. I shall now hand over to Rachael Johnson."
"Thank you. I am standing outside Emily Beaton's house to find out more but there has been no reply. We are truly struggling to find out more as everyone is tired of us but they need to understand that this is important. We..."

James switches the telly off.
"We don't need a reminder," he says.
"They're basically just stalking us," I say.
"When can I go back to my house?" Emily asks.
"I have an idea," I say,"We'll go back to your house and we can all answer their questions."
"What kind of an idea is that?" James says.
"If we answer their questions then they'll have all they need so they won't come back."

"Lets go then!"

James's POV

We go out the door and walk down the road to Emily's house. I hope this works.
"Oh, Emily, Riley, James it looks as if you've turned up so..." the reporter starts.
"We will only answer your questions if you don't come back ever again," I say.
"OK so James, was Riley getting pregnant a mistake?"
"Is that relevant?"
"Yes."
"Or are you just sticking your nose into other people's business?!"
"Do you want us to never come back again?" I look at Riley. She takes a deep breath in and reluctantly nods.
"It was a mistake," I say.
"So did you rape her?"
"No!"

"So how was it an accident."
"Because it just was OK?! Ask another question!"
"OK then Riley, is everything too complicated with triplets and your Mum being in prison?"
"How do you know that?!"
"Someone must have overheard you talking about it because someone told us."
"OK well the only thing complicated in my life is when you keep on knocking on my door asking me questions when I don't want you to."
"Woah, you're a tough crowd, so Emily, how did you feel when you got kicked out of the house?"
"Worried obviously but...yeah."

"OK thank you back to you Tessa. Right we've stopped filming now."
"So will you go away now?" I ask.
"Of course we won't, we want to find out more and more."
"But you said..."
"I said because I wanted you to answer my questions."
"You're just being nosy aren't you? You're horrid!"
"I'm getting paid for this OK?" she says, wrapping her hand around mt throat.
"Get off him!" Riley says, pushing her away,"Soon your family will be the ones getting stalked becasue you'll be in prison for strangling the people your interviewing!"
"Awww, little toughy are you? Just you wait."
