Hey all here is the next chapter. We finally work out what happened between Taylor and Declande many years ago :)
Chapter 11
“It was a month after you first left and I was asked by mum to help him get out of the house so I did” he began.
Flashback
“Declande go and get him out of the house. Sophia leaving has really made him withdrawn” mum said softly. I shrugged and headed up the stairs to his room. I knocked and got no reply. I never did lately. I opened the door and he was sitting at his computer doing something that I didn't really care what.
“Come on” I said
“What?”
“We are going out. Have a shower and come on” I said.
“I’m not going anywhere”
“Yes you are. Mum and I are sick of your moping. Soph’s gone. Deal with it. I am” I snapped. He looked up at me and glared
“I don't need you to tell me she’s gone” is that all he got from what I said? I rolled my eyes and then looked back at him.
“Really? That’s all you got? Get out of here this room smells and you look like shit”
“This is all your fault” he said softly
“My fault?” I asked feeling extremely confused
“Yes! If you hadn't of gotten together with her then you wouldn't have hurt her, she and I wouldn't have had sex and therefore we wouldn't have had a baby and she wouldn't have run away! So this is all your fault” he snapped
“You can blame me all you want but ultimately this is your fault. You pushed her and you couldn't leave it be you just had to try and get her to love you. So this is actually your fault” I snapped back without thinking. Taylor stood and faced me
“I hate you so much” he said angrily
“hate me all you want but it won’t change that fact that you practically gave Sophia the plane ticket and told her bon Voyage” I said taking a step closer. Taylor launched himself at me and started hitting me senselessly. Mum ended up breaking up and I suffered a broken nose and two cracked ribs. When we got back from the hospital both of us were grounded. When she went away Taylor began drinking and didn't even care about driving home drunk. When he stumbled in the door I tried to take care of him but he wouldn't have it and ended up shoving me away from him and stumbling up to his room. I gave up helping him then.
Flashback end
“So he just attacked you?” I asked
“We provoked each other” he shrugged
“I am so sorry. I had no idea that this would happen” I said feeling my guilt consume me.
“Don't worry about it. You came back and let us all get to know Tessa. She is an awesome girl Soph. Just like you” he said smiling
“Was she behaved last night?” I asked
“Yeah. She kicked my butt at monopoly though”
“What did you lose?”
“My pride” he said laughing. I joined in and then we went inside. I sat next to Tessa at the dinner table she smiled up at me and I smiled back. I was honestly so proud of her.
“So mum where did you disappear off to?” she asked softly
“I went to talk to your uncle Declande” I said
