Eastenders~Carter Boy

Chapter 13~The apology

Griffin's POV
The knock on the door became louder."I'm sorry,boys it was the right thing to do".

"For who Patrick us or them,you have no idea what you've done"I shouted."Calm down alright"James said.Patrick went to get the door.

My mum and Linda barged in followed by Jack and Mick."What were you thinking?"my mum shouted."How could you be so stupid"Linda added.

"What did ye think was going to happen that you two could just run off and live happily ever after"My mum said furiously"."No"I mumbled.

"What then eh tell me because I don't get it,you both just abandoned Cian". "

"Don't say that because that's not what happened"I shouted angrily.I stepped back trying to calm down. "Well,do you have anything to say about this,because Griffin is the only one talking".Linda asked James. "Come on James let's hear it then".

"What there is nothing to hear,if you would have believed us in the first place then we wouldn't have ran away"he said back."Oh so it's our fault now is it"she shouted.

"Yes,Yes it is your fault.You know what Bobby said,he said you were weak because you were raped".He screamed furiously.He was so angry, I had never seen him like this with his mum.

We all just stood there in shock."I'm sorry,I shouldn't have am.."."No your right this is my fault maybe if I was a better mother then none of my children would be like this" Linda said as she walked out of the house.

"Mom I didn't mean it like that..."the door slammed."Right,you home now"My mom said to me,Jack looked at me.I knew I was going to get lectured when I went home and a really bad punishment.

My mom was pushing me out the door. My mom and Jack said goodbye.We got out onto the streets and the lecture began.

James' POV
My dad looked at me.I felt guilty for what happened."Why are you still standing there".I didn't know what he meant."You are going to apologise to your mother"he said as he stood in front of me.

"Listen son,I would've done the same thing if I was you but you need to learn how to control yourself  and that you shouldn't run away from your problems alright"He said."Yeah"I replied quietly.

"Well done now,Come here"He stated beckoning me into a hug.I hugged him and then pulled away.

"Cian"I asked starting to worry."What happened to him"."He am couldn't hold on but luckily we had pushed the bin under him just incase so he got away with a broken leg and a few bruises but nothing major".I sighed with relief.

"What about you boy your eye is pretty bruised".I looked in the mirror,it was a big black eye."I'm fine" I replied"like you said a couple of bruises but nothing major".

"Right well you better go find your mother while I go back to the pub ". "Thanks Patrick,you saved us from doing something stupid"I smiled at him."I may be old but I know right from wrong"He grinned.We laughed.

"There's a few free drinks for you in the Vic whenever you want"My dad smiled. We went outside to the square.I knew where I would find mum.

I walked into the gardens.There she was on the bench.I walked over and sat alongside her.

"Well,it was quite the reception"I joked.My mum continued to stare at the ground."I'm sorry mum I shouldn't have said that it's not your fault that Bobby said that"I said.

She looked at me,tears in her eyes."I'm sorry"she said bursting into tears.I pulled her close to me and hugged her."Hey,you've got nothing to be sorry about I'm the one who lashed out and I'm the one who ran away not you"I said to her.

She pulled away "No I'm sorry for Dean I know it's hard for you"."Hey don't say that what he did to you was not your fault he is disgusting and I wish I could kill him and I build up that anger inside me and when I release it I end up hurting someone badly,so I'm sorry".She looked at me.

She smiled and hugged me."It's ok baby,it's ok".I pulled away and smiled at her."Now let's get you inside you must be freezing".

We got up and went back to the Vic.It was 11:30 and everyone had left. Johnny,Lee, Whitney and Dad were all still downstairs.

"Here they are,everything alright" my dad said."Perfect"my mum said.My dad looked at me."am Lee,Whit I'm sorry for ruining your reception"I said.

"Aw you didn't ruin anything I mean for a Walford wedding ours was completely normal and besides I knew you meant well"She said,pulling me into a hug.

When we were finished I looked at Lee "Sorry"I said again.He smiled "Next time don't go all Conor McGregor on me alright"he said."I'll try my best"I said hugging him.

Finally I apologised to Johnny."Well done boy anyway you and Johnny better go pack because you two,your mum,Ollie and I are going to your Grandma's until Monday to give the lovebirds a bit of space.Lee,Tracey will give you a hand on Sunday and Monday but we are closed tomorrow so you'll be fine".My dad told me.

"Not Grandma's"Johnny said with annoyance. "Yep Grandma's and get Ollie's bag ready for me James"."Fine"I moaned going upstairs with Johnny.

"Thank you" she replied."Great three days at Grandma's what better eh?"I said to Johnny "Im dying already"he replied.This was going to be a nightmare.
