Chapter 56

*Jay’s POV*

Tia had been a long time. A very long time. Andrea and I were starting to worry where she had got to. Amelie had been crying a lot as she missed her mum and she has been stuck with us two who have no parenting skills what so ever. We changed her, fed her and even tried to get her to sleep but nothing. Andrea was trying to get hold of Tia whilst I was gently holding and shushing Amelie. “Have you got hold of her yet?” I asked Andrea she shook her head “nope, no answer of her phone no reply to text. I hope she is ok” she told me. Andrea really did care about Tia. She put her hands out motioning me to pass Amelie over. “Let me try with her. Maybe you could try phoning Conor?” Andrea asked me as she gently rocked a crying Amelie in her arms. I nodded and got out my phone. I dialled Conor number but no answer. I then decided to phone Nathan. I knew her would deffo pick up. But to my surprise he didn’t. “Hmm, that’s odd” I said allowed “What? What is it?”  Andrea asked “well I thought I would just try Nathan to see if he has heard anything and you know he normally answers straight away?” I asked Andrea. She nodded “well, he didn’t” she looked puzzled “oh gosh, that isn’t like him. I wonder what has happened” Andrea said. “I can tell you everything” a familiar voice said from behind us. “WHAT THE HELL TIA! WHY HAVEN’T YOU BEEN ANSWER YOUR CALLS!” Andrea shouted at her. “Please, don’t shout. I..I can’t deal with any more shouting!” she said as she burst into tears. “Come on, come sit down. Andrea give Amelie back to Tia and go make some drinks will you?” I ask Andrea. She nodded and handed Amelie over who immediately became quiet at the sight of Tia. She soon fell to sleep and Tia put her in her little basket bed. She was still crying “Tia. Tell us what has happened” Andrea said handing a hot drink to Tia. She was sobbing “well, things went fine with me and Conor until I admitted a huge mistake to him” Tia started “what did you do?” Andrea asked her. “The night I broke up with Conor I told him I was going to my mums but I didn’t. I went to Nathan’s and well…..” “you had sex with him?” Andrea guessed. Tia nodded and burst into tears “I am a fool! Conor went straight over to Nathan’s to find him and Kerry there! Kerry had no idea either and Nathan and Conor argued. Kerry then shouted at Nathan! It all happened so quickly and then…..” she trailed off again “what Tia? What has happened?” I asked with stern in my voice. “Conor hit Nathan and he fell and hit his head. Kerry called the cops on Conor and now he is a fugitive on the run! Nathan is now on the way to the hospital! Kerry HATES me and I feel so alone!” Tia sobbed. Andrea sighed and hugged Tia. I got straight on the phone to Kerry as Tia continued to sob into Andrea’s arms. Kerry picked up “hello?” she said “Kerry, it’s Jay. Look Tia is at ours, she has told us what has happened. She is devastated. How is Nathan?” I asked. She sighed but I could tell she wasn’t angry. She was upset “oh Jay! He is a mess! He has serious concussion and he is now gone off to have brain scans! Jay I am scared. I don’t want to lose him!” she cried down the phone. “Look, listen. Andrea and I will be over in a bit ok?” I told her “we will drop Tia and Amelie off home” “NO!” she shouted “No! Please. I need Tia here! Yes I am mad with her but she is my best friend Jay. Please tell her I want to see her. I need her comfort” she tells me sobbing down the phone. “Alright, alright okay well we will be there soon” I said and hung up. “What is happening?” Tia asked me “get your shoes on. We are dropping Amelie at your mums and you are coming to the hospital to be there for Kerry” I told her “oh no. She doesn’t want me there!” Tia said “Yes Tia! Yes she does! She needs your support. Nathan is in a critical condition. She is scared Tia. She may be mad but she told me over the phone that you are still her best friend and a friendship so strong as yours can never be broken” I tell her. She sighs and nods “okay..” she said “let’s go”   

*Conor’s POV*

I ran and I ran. As far away as I could. I heard police sirens from behind me and I knew they weren’t far behind. I stopped and paused waiting for any police cars to wiz passed me. They did. I put my hood up and walked quietly back home. I needed some security at the moment. As I walked I thought. I thought about Nathan. If he was still alive or if he was actually dead! I thought about Kerry and how upset she must be and then I thought of Tia. How angry and shocked she was at my foolish actions! As I thought about all of what happened in the last few hours I managed to get home without being spotted by any police. I got in and took off all my clothes before having a quick shower. I turned out all the lights and closed all the curtains. I didn’t want the police to know I was in. I then laid on my bed and took out my phone. I flicked through numbers until I got to Tia’s. I pressed the green phone and it dialled. It dialled then it rang. It rang and then.. She answered “Hello?” she said “hi” I said quietly “it’s my mum. I will be in, in a sec” I heard her say. Where was she? “Where are you?” I asked “never mind where I am! Where are you? Have you been caught yet!” she said in a harsh whisper “Tia, you make it sound as if you want me in prison” I told her. “No, no I don’t but I am still mad at what you did” I sighed “yes I know and I am sorry!” I tell her “you trying telling the police that when they catch you!” she told me “IF they catch me” I said with a smirk on my face and in a cheeky way “Conor. It isn’t funny. This is serious!” she tells me “I know baby girl I know. Look. I am at home. Don’t tell anyone where I am ok? I just wanted to tell you so you knew I was safe” I told her “okay” she answered “I love you” I tell her. There was a pause “that’s when you are meant to tell me you love me too” I told her “Conor. I do love you I do. I love you so much!” she tells me. I smile “thank you baba” I reply “look I have to go. I am at the hospital giving my support to Kerry” she told me “oh. How is Nathan do you know?” I ask carefully choosing my words “he is not dead thank god but he is not good Conor. He has gone off for brain scans. He is in a critical condition” Tia tells me. My heart froze. “I will try and keep you up to date. I honestly hope I don’t get in trouble with the police for talking to you” she tells me straight “you won’t baby girl. Just lie and say you haven’t spoken to me” I tell her “Ok Conor, will talk soon Bye!” she said “I love you Tia” “I love you too Conor” Tia replied and I hung up. I then just laid there. Thinking of Nathan and thinking about how much shit I actually am in.
