The Tale Of The Brit And The Bad Boy

Chapter 26: Cherry and Greg

Cherry POV 

Everything was just dull, no color, it's like that feeling you get when you're scared, that sinking feeling you get when you think you've lost something and your parents would kill you for it. This week was meant to be a week of fun, a week where I prove myself wrong about what I feel for Brett. 

Nothing, I felt nothing, I knew I'll become emotionless. 

I love Greg, he's been an ass for most my life but that's what siblings do. Without Greg everything won't be so dull, I don't have to keep deleting my Google history, I don't have to worry about the things I hate about Greg, about my laptop, about Doughnut. Because he keeps me busy and happy.

Yet Greg gets me so angry at the same time. And I love my twin for that.

"Cherry..." Brett said, obviously feeling sorry for me, that's so annoying, I need time alone.

I ran away, I ran and ran, I didn't care I just ran. No tears, I couldn't bring myself to cry, I've already used up most of my tears. I ran out of the hospital. I ended up on a hill near the hospital. I sat down on the grass and just started off into the night. I couldn't feel any emotion.

I heard footsteps and someone sit down but kept their distance. 

I looked at the person and it wasn't anyone I knew, it wasn't Brett but it was another guy. He looked torn. 

He turn his head and met my eyes. I didn't say anything and turned my head back. 

"Why are you here?" he asked. I don't know if I should tell him anything because I have no idea who he is. But I need to let it all out.

"I got told that my twin might die" my voice came out broken. "What about you?"

"My mom was in a coma, she just died and my little sister is suffering from cancer" He said looking down. We fell into silence, I don't care if he's a stranger. But I guess we both ran away from our problems.

"My name...my name is Justin" that came out like a whisper

"My name's Cherry" this wasn't awkward it's because we're both broken and wrecked, the news we got was harsh and no one likes that. 

I was tired and I wish we never went on this stupid trip, it's so annoying and depressing.

"Did you run out of the hospital?"

"Yeah, I couldn't take it"

"My...my mom was in a coma for two years, she dies about an hour ago, and I can't afford the treatment" I feel so bad for Justin. 

"Why can't you afford it?" I only realized that the treatment wasn't free like it is in England.

"Because I'm alone, my dad died too, a car crash, four years ago" Greg's fighting for his life because of an arrogant rich man who made him like this in under ten minutes.

"My brother was in a car crash, a few hours ago, there was eight of us that went, we took two cars and the car my brother in got hit and-" My voice completely broke "-I just wish I never went on this trip, I argued with a police officer to get to him, there was also another twin in there, my friends twin and he's going to alright, I don't see why Greg isn't"

"So this Greg is your twin" I nodded.

"I know how it feels" I looked up and at him, he was staring at me with the same feeling I'm feeling. My eyes were watery and I don't care if I cried. 

"Cherry..." I heard a voice in the distance shout my name, I knew who it was instantly, it was Brett. I looked at Justin, got up and walked away.

"Cherry" His broken voice called me. "You know where to find me if you need someone to talk to" I nodded and walked off. 

When I got to Brett he looked up from his phone.

"Cherry, I need to tell you something"

"What Brett, Greg might die, my twin we're talking about, you didn't have anyone in that car who was family, you don't know what it's like, I don't want pity"

"Cherry-"

"What is 'oh so important' when someone I love is fighting for their life"

"You don't understa-"

"Can we go inside first?" I really wasn't in the mood I was torn, I ignored the tingles, Brett is making me like this and I care about Greg way more.  

"Fine, I'll just tell you inside" he mumbled.

I started walking inside, Brett following behind, I saw that stupid doctor, how can he just break bad news to a family and not feel bad because he basically just told us Greg could die.

I just couldn't believe this was happening. I don't even know what is happening to Jake and Flo, because the only thing in my mind is Greg and that one question is he gonna make it?

"Cherry" Brett tried to grab my forearm but I snatched it away.

"What Brett"

"I get you're angry and hurt because of Brett but-"

"NO BRETT! I'm angry at everything, why did it have to be Greg, I wish I never moved here because this wouldn't have happened Brett"

"Cherry just listen"

"Listen to what Brett!"

"I get you're upset, angry and annoyed but Cherry just listen to me, okay? We're here for you, we are gonna make sure that Greg doesn't go Cherry, because we know you're gonna be a wreck, but please just calm down. It's okay to cry because it doesn't show weakness, it doesn't show someone who's helpless, it makes you stronger. Cherry you might not believe me but let it all out, cry all you want but don't think about the bad things"

"Brett, I'm scared, I can't live without Greg" he cupped my face with one hand and wiped a tear away with his thumb. 

"Don't worry, but I need to tell you something else"

"So that is what it's about"

"Cherry-"

"You don't know how I feel Brett, you just wanted to tell me something else, did you even mean any of that-"

"FLO DIED CHERRY"
