Secrets (Sequel to Nashville High)

The begining of a new chapter for all of us.

Emmylou's PoV
I had got back from the Opry visit, had my dinner, and now I was doing my essay for history when my phone bleeped. It was Aunty Kim.

"Ring me!"

I do as I'm asked and ring her back.

"Jimi's left me!!"

My god mother squeaked.

"WHAT!!"
"He's left me Em."

I could tell by the time of her voice that amazing, beautiful, caring lady was crying so I did my best to comfort her.

"What's happened?"
"When I got home I found a letter on the kitchen side say that he wanted a divorce and that he's taken the twins."
"OH MY GOODNESS!!, I'm coming over. I'll be as quick as I can."
"Ok darling, Thankyou."

I ran down the stair and flew into the kitchen. I lied to dad that I was going to to meet Kacey at the park due to her having juicy gossip that she just had to tell me in person and ran out the front door. I ran all the way to Aunty Kim's. Tammy was stood at the front door waiting when I got there.

"Dads left Mom."

She squealed. I flung my arms around Tammy and gave her a big hug due to her crying as well.

"Where is your mom?"

"In the lounge. She's in such a state Emmy. She hasn't stopped crying since she read the letter."

Tammy then explained that Aunty Kim had picked her up from Dance practice after she had dropped me off. We go inside and that's when I see the extent to how much of a state my Aunty Kim was actually in.

I was finding it so hard not to cry myself. The women was now so much more than either my Music & Choir teacher or my God mother now. She was now a friend and a freaking good one at that. Kimberly Westbrook meant everything to me. I seriously hated my dad so much for doing this to her. I went over, sat down and gathered that perfect blonde into my arms. All I could do was just sit and hold her while she silently sobbed on my shoulder.

"Tammy, ring my mom!"

I said throwing my phone at her.

"She'll know what to do."

Tammy's PoV
Oh gosh, this is gonna be one awkward conversation I thought as I searched for Karen's number on Emmy's phone.

"Hey Emz"
"Hi Karen it's Tammy Westbrook"
"Oh hi sweetheart, why have you got Emmy phone?"
"It's my mom."
"Oh my lord, What's happened?"
"Dads left her!"
"WHAT!!"
"She's sat in Emmy's arms crying. Emmy got me to ring you thinking that you'd know what to do. I'm really scared Karen"

I was trying so hard not to cry it was unreal.

"Alright Tammy darling calm down, what's your address in coming over"

I told Karen my address and she explained that she be there as quick as she could.

"Mom, Karen's on her way ok?"

Mom was crying so hard all she could do was nod.

Karen's PoV
I can't freaking believe what I've just been told. I thought as I jumped into my car. Jimi's left Kim. I seriously don't know weather to be happy course I still secretly have feelings for him or devastated because I now know that Kim is and always has been truly besotted with him.

35 minutes later
"Come here Kimberly babes."

I said pulling her into my arms.

"What am i gonna do Karen?"

She squeaked.

"He's took Patsy & Archie. THEY'RE MY BABIES!!"

she sobbed.

"Come on darling, don't cry. Have you tried contacting him?"

She nodded.

"He won't pick up to either of us Karen."

Tammy explained.

"What's his number. I'll try."

Tammy gave me Jimi's number and I attempted to ring him.

"Hello?"
"Hey Jimi it's Karen, are you alright?"
"Not really no"
"What's up?"
"I don't love Kim any more, I love you."

I seriously couldn't believe what i'd just heard. I stood there in complete shock. The phone still fixed next to my ear. It felt like a lifetime although it was probably only a few seconds.

"Karen, are you still there?"
"Yeah sorry"
"Don't be. It's a lot to take in I know."
'"I'm sorry I've got to go."

I hung up the phone and stood looking into space.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Emmy asked.

"Did you find out anything about my dad?"

Tammy added.

"All he said was that he didn't love your mom anymore Tammy darling."

Poor Kim looked like someone had just took her heart and pounded it to dust. I felt awful. Then I got a incoming call from a number I didn't recognise.

"I think I'm expecting this call. I'll be back in a minute."

I went into the other room.

"Why did you hang up?"
"Where are you Jimi? Kim needs you"
"I don't want her I want you."
"No you don't, you left me for Kim"
"Stop talking about that blonde. I love you & I know you love me 2"
"What?"
"Emmy told me"
"Oh well I guess I can't deny it then can I"
"Not really no"
"Where are you?"
"At my moms. Y where are you?"
"With your wife."
"What?"
"She texted Emz saying you'd left her, who went round, then Tam rang me. #Awkward"
"Lol"
"It's not funny "
"Oh it is trust me"
You can be a right prat at times you know that don't you"
"Yep. You knw you love me though"
"F**K you"
"Language Ms Fairchild"
"Whatever Westbrook"
"I've really missed you Kiki"

I let out the biggest sigh ever.

"I've missed you."
"Make up some excuse to leave and come and meet me. I wanna see you so bad"
"I can't"
"Come on Keeks you know you want to really!"
"Fine, what do I say to Kim and the girls though?"
"Say your manager wants to see you"
"Ok. Where we meeting?"
"Under the old oak at N.H"
"I'll meet you there then."
"Ok see you in a bit"
"Ok, bye"
"Bye"

What the hell am I doing I thought to myself as I made my way back into the lounge.

"That was my manager. I'm so sorry Kim darl I'm gonna have to get off. Are you sure your gonna be alright?"

"Yeah thanks for everything Karen."

"Emz. You stay as long as Aunty Kim needs you. Ok!"

"Yep"
