that girl j.c (completed)

Seventeen

I walked downstairs to see what all the commotion was about. I recognized the voice, but I couldn't quite put a name to it, but whoever it was, she was mad.
"WHERE IS HE? WHERE IS HE?" She screamed from the living room. I walked in and saw her, my hands started to shake and I almost fell off my crutches just at the sight of her. Lia.
"YOU MONSTER! YOU KILLED HER! YOU KILLED HER! YOU KILLED MY DAUGHTER!" Lia screamed and ran up to my face, spitting the words out like venom, they sure felt like venom, every word was stinging my heart like little needles.
"She's my daughter too.." I started to say, more tears ran down my face as I stood there, taking the emotional abuse from her. Does she not think that it hurts me too, to know that because of me, my daughter is gone?
"I should never have left her with you. I should have just dealt with her and figured it out.. I shouldn't even have told you that she existed.. SHE'D BE ALIVE IF I WASN'T SO STUPID AND TRUSTED YOU WITH HER" tears streamed down Lia's face.
"It wasn't my fault." I said while I gritted my teeth.
"Nothings ever your fault!" Lia screeched. I didn't know what to do, or what to feel, or what to say. We had fights when we were together but she's never been this mad at me before.
"I'm sorry. I loved her too." I cried. I fell on to the couch and dropped my face into my hands, unable to hold my head up any longer.
"I can't do this. I can't even be near you! EVERYONE AROUND YOU DIES! AVA, JOE, JAYLYN, YOUR MOM YOUR DAD AND NOW YOUR DAUGHTER! OUR DAUGHTER! If I were you I'd get out of his life before you die too." Lia said directing her gaze to Lindsay.
"Get out." I heard Lindsay say. "Get out of this house."
"Make me bitch!" Lia shouted, going right into Lindsay's face.
"GET OUT!" Lindsay screeched. Lia raised her hand and slapped Lindsay across the face.
"Stop it!" I tried to yell, but it was too late. Lindsay's hand flew up and hit Lia in the jaw, making Lia reel backwards and fall to the floor unconcious.
"Lia!" I yelled and tried to get to her, but I forgot about my foot and fell down.
"Jc! Are you okay?" I felt a pair of hands lift me up. "Jc talk to me." I looked up and saw Kian holding me up. He directed me over to the couch to help me sit down and placed a blanket over my shoulders. Lindsay was over by Lia, trying to wake her up while tears streamed down her guilt stricken face.
"Lia! Lia wake up!" She repeated over and over again. Lindsay put Lia in the recovery position and covered her with a blanket from the couch before she came to sit next to me. "Jc.. I'm.." She started to say, but I cut her off.
"Don't apologize. You got mad, and she hit you first. I'm not going to say she deserved it, but you definitely didn't do it unprovoked." More tears poured out of Lindsay's eyes as she leaned into me. I put my arm around her and laid my head on hers, but all I could think about was Zoey.

One year ahead...

"Lindsay!! Lindsay please come back!! I love you.. Don't leave me.."
"How can I trust you when all you do is lie to me? How can I love you when you clearly don't love me?"
"I don't know who else I love but you. Can't you just forgive me?"
"Goodbye.."
"Lindsay please.. don't go.."
"Goodbye Jc.."

Present time (about 6 months after Lindsay hit Lia)

"Jc.. It's been months. You hardly ever leave your room. You need to get out, you need to go do stuff, hang out with people." Kian told me as he stood in the doorway to my bedroom.
"I have you, and Lindsay. Who else do I need to associate with? There's nothing to do out there anyways." I replied back.
"You used to love going out and adventuring and meeting new people and.."
"Used to. I used to. People change Kian. I changed. And you need to accept that."
"I won't accept you being depressed and not leaving your room. That's not you changing Jc, that's you not getting off your lazy fucking ass, that's you sitting there in self pity. Shit happens Jc. People die. I'm sorry it had to be Zoey, it was a tragedy, but if it were you that died, would u want Zoey acting like this?"
"Kian.. don't do this to him right now." Lindsay said, as she walked in from behind him.
"When then?" Kian said angrily towards Lindsay.
"Kian outside now." Lindsay walked out of the bedroom door with Kian and closed it.

Lindsay's POV

"He's not ready Kian. You can't keep poking him like that, you just push him farther and farther from where he needs to be." I knew depression, I knew it like I knew the back of my hand, and it sucks, but Kian can't talk to Jc like that this soon into it.
"When then Lindsay? When is he going to be ready? He's wasting his life away and you're letting him! You're his girlfriend,you're supposed to want him to get better, not promote his new lifestyle."
"I'm not promoting anything Kian. He's just not ready yet. This takes time, it will take time for him to realize that he isn't happy, it will take time for him to be happy again. One day he's going to break, and it's going to be hard on him and us, but after he breaks, he will get better Kian. But he has to realize all that on his own, not you trying to tell him what you think should happen."
"Whatever. I just want my best friend back."
"I know. I do too. I want him back so bad, and we will get him back, we just have to be patient." I said, fighting back tears. Kian looked at his shoes and hugged me, before he descended the staircase and I walked back into mine and Jc's room.
