Chapter 15: "Come on Joe"

(This chapter is based off of tonight's emmerdale, so there are spoilers ahead for those who haven't seen it yet)

KENNEDY'S POV

I had, yet again, stormed out of Home Farm the next morning, following another argument with Joe.

I slam the door of Debbie's house behind me and I throw my bag across the living room, harshly slapping my palm onto my forehead. Debbie jumps up from the kitchen table, my actions startling her.

"I hate boys" I sigh my hand not moving from my forehead.

"What happened this time?" She rolls her eyes slightly laughing. I finally move from the spot by the door and join Debbie at the table.

"Let's just say, I may have seen something I shouldn't have, and I told him I don't want to talk about it. What does he do?" I pause for a second "continues to nag nag nag, and pester me. I said I'd tell him when I want so he yelled" I shrugged resting my elbows on the table and putting my hand in my hands.

"You are so dramatic sometimes" she laughed "he will try to get out of you because he cares"

"If he cares he needs to respect that I don't want to talk about it yet!" I say clicking the off button on my phone, which is constantly vibrating with Joe's phone calls.

"True, let's go to the pub for a bit yeah?" Debbie asked getting up from the table.

I frown in confusion looking at my watch "it's like, 9:15am?" She rolls her eyes and grabs my arm pulling me out the door.

"We don't have to drink drink, plus it'll be quiet"

"Charity will be there" I say monotone.

"Possibly, if she is, it gives you a chance to sort things out" she shrugs and I groan in response.

Debbie's pushes the door to the Woolpack open as we both walk in, we both look around as we see no one.

"See quiet" She says in a sarcastic tone.

I lean on the bar with my arms folded, Debbie goes to speak but gets cut off by a phone ringing that was in the edge of the bar. She frowns at the screen and answers.

"Hello, Charity Dingle speaking" my head goes back as I give a look of confusion her way.

It was clear she was talking to Noah's school a few seconds into the conversation, evidently about his constant absences with no proper reason. Well I knew one. Joe. She hangs up a few minutes later placing the phone a little harshly back on the bar.

"Seriously he keeps skipping school to see Joe. They wanted to fine us!" She raises her voice "I'm going over to speak to him, coming?" She looks at me.

I shake my head yes, knowing I'd have to apologise to him sooner or later  for me being over dramatic about this whole situation. I didn't want to just yet, so I'd decided I would just stay in the car.

Debbie gives me a nod as we both walk out to her car jumping in.

THIRD PERSON POV

Debbie  reached Home Farm and walks straight in, Kennedy staying put in the car, she meets Graham.

"Come on in" He says quietly his voice full of sarcasm, due to Debbie's abrupt entrance.

"Where's Joe?" She says getting straight to the point. Graham points towards the door.

"Went after Noah, into the woods I presume" He speaks, Debbie rushing out getting into her car as soon as he finished his sentence. Kennedy looks at her as if to ask what's going on, but Debbie kept her eyes forwards, speeding off to the woods.
