Moving Forward

Chapter 2

Pulling up to my parents house I sit in the car, knowing that soon as I walk through that door I will have to tell them everything that has happened, from the pictures being sent, Nick’s mother playing games, being fired from work and what Nick has just told me.

“Do you want me to come with you?” Brian asks, breaking the silence between us.

Take a deep sigh in, I look up at the house. “No, you go home Brian.” I say.

“Are you sure?” He asks again.

“Yes, I have my family here, Brian. If James comes here they will kill him.” I say finally looking at him for the first time, since getting in the car.

“Kim,” Brian says.

“Did Nick pay her to stay quite about it all?” I say, watching Brian to see how he reacts to the question.

“No, his PR team did. He wanted to say sorry, but she wasn't listening to it, and Nick has not seen her since.” Brian answers not taking his eyes off me.

I shake my head not really knowing what I want to ask or what answers I want to hear. Finally opening the door, I look back at Brian, “Thank you.” I say and close the door behind me.

Opening the door to the house, I take a deep breath in and walk through the door, my mum looks at me. With one look she runs over and wraps her arms around me, and I hug her back so tight that I don't want to let her go, I start crying, “Mum, everything is so messed up.” I say though the crying.

“Sweet heart, its all going to be okay,” my mums says pulling me in for a tighter hug. “Come sit down.” She says holding my hand as we walk to the sitting room, and my whole family is there, I look over at my dad, and within a second he hugs me.

I sit down and wipe the tears from my cheeks, my dad sits down next to me holding my hand.

“I don’t know what to do, dad.” I say looking over at him.

“How about you tell us what has happened.” He says, moving the hair away from my face.

I look at my dad, and I start telling them everything thats been happening over the last few months, my brother starts shouting at me, half way though my story, I explained to them that Nick had everything sorted how Brian was with me everyday. My parents were more angry that I didn't think I could talk to them about this.

Telling them about the pictures, Nick’s mother and my job, I took a deep breath and finally told them about Nick’s past. My mum couldn't believe it that he had a past like that, my brother was so angry that he didn't even say anything about it, and my dad hugged me.

I wasn't expecting them to say anything, even I know that it is a lot to take in, in one go but it just felt like they didn't know what to say to me. 

The rest of the evening my family didn't ask questions or talk about it, Scott and Jo went home, as my dad told Scott to leave because his angry was not helping.
