Turning Back..

Chapter 7

I was almost home and the constant ring of my phone was enraging me, I pulled up at the side of the highway and put my hazard lights on before answering the phone without even looking at who it was "What?" I questioned blankly

"Woah Deven I know your mad but there's no need to take it out on me" my facial expression softened "Jaime I'm so sorry I- well I'm just having a really shit day" I turned on the light above my head so I could see "Is it Vic? Do you want to talk about it" 

"No Vic's the last person on my mind right now, I'm so fucking angry at him though Jaime!" he sighed "I know, it must suck but I'm keeping both of my eyes on him Deven, so is Kacie" I smiled Jaime was one of the most caring people I had ever met in my life "Thank you so much Jaime it means a lot" 

"It's fine so what else is wrong?" I sighed as the tears welled up my eyes again

"I just got fired" I heard Jaime gasp 

"Deven I'm so fucking sorry girl!" I shook my head

"No It's fine" 

"Why did you get fired?" I sighed and began to explain my lack of sleep due to my racing thoughts about Vic and Jenna and how I had accidentally fallen asleep at my desk after the argument I had with Vic over the phone. "You know I used to argue with my girlfriend all the time when I went on tour without her" I smiled "You'll be fine I promise, plus now you've been fired, you can fly out to us right?" I smirked

"No I can't Jaime, I'm going to have to find another job plus I'm looking after Marie. When are you guy's playing SD?" I asked suddenly

"It's the last show of the tour I'm afraid" I sighed "You'll find another job easily Deven, just take a break?" I sighed

"No I can't kick Jacky out" 

"Jacky? What?" I sighed and explained the whole Jacky situation

"Look I'd better go, We've been on the phone for ages and don't you have a show to play?"

"Yeah, in twenty minutes, do you want me to get Vic to call you?" 

"No just I'll call him when I'm ready to speak to him" Jaime sighed

"Ok, Deven, chin up you'll be fine and we will all be home soon" I smiled

"Thanks Jaime good luck with the show" 

"see you later" I threw my phone back into my bag and indicated back on the road driving back home. 

When I got inside carrying my box of belongings Jacky was stood in the hallway with Marie "Auntie Deven" I smiled at Marie as she struggled out of Jacky's grip, he placed her down and she ran over to me, I lent down to her level "Hi baby, how are you?" she giggled and I stood back up looking at Jacky who had a sorry expression on his face "Deven I'm so sorry, here let me take that?" he said referring to the box I was carrying, he took it from my grip and took it into the kitchen placing it down on the table. I followed him in "did you eat?" I asked him 

"No but it's fine, I'll order us something" I shook my head furiously 

"No don't do that Jacky I'll.. I'll cook something" he grabbed my wrist as I walked over to the freezer "Deven, don't, just go sit down in the living room, I'll go out and grab something" I stared up into his Blue eyes as he loosened the grip on my arm "Fine" I gave in and he let me go and walked into the hallway, grabbing his coat from the rack on the wall. "I'll be back soon" I lent against the kitchen worktop and took a deep breath in to stop my self from crying in front of Marie who was stood in front of me, her Black hair was tied up in a pony tail "Did Jacky look after you today?" she nodded "Come on it's way past your bedtime" I lifted her up and grabbed her blanket from the kitchen table before taking her up to her bed "Can I have a story?" I smiled down at her
