Chapter 13

My lifes been up and down since me and Luke moved out. We finally got our own place all the way in Leicester. We're having a wonderful time. He's got a full time job as building, some weeks the pay isn't great but others its quite good. I'm at college re-doing my GCSE's seeing as I missed them all when we moved away. No ones been in touch over the past three months, only Lukes mum of course. She's the only one that knows where we are. Dad got in touch with her, apparently. He said that he wasn't going to come and find me but he just wanted to know if I'm okay. Jackie didn't cave into what he wanted, no matter how much pressure he put on her. He told her that he would be there to hold together the pieces once it's all fell apart.

My parents and siblings moved up to Brighton in the end, when I left (you could say ran away) things all turned up in the air, Chris stopped talking to our parents and still to this day hasn't spoke to them. Chris blames them for me moving away, I only know all of this because of Lukes friends, they know Lucy and obviously Lucy talks to them about it. I think Lucy knows that Lukes friends still have contact, but i've never heard anything from them.

I walk into our flat and stroke our new kitten, pick her up and hold her tightly in my hands, kissing her head softly. Putting my bag down on the kitchen table I turn the kettle on and get some milk out.
"Would you like some milk?" I say to Milly and she miows back at me. "I thought so" I say as I put her on the floor and fill her dish with some milk. I make myself a cup of tea and get to work with my coursework. An hour or so passes when theres a knock at the door. I look up at the clock and shrug my shoulders and go to answer the door. Opening it theres stood Jackie, smiling at me
'Suprise!' she says as she wraps her arms around me
"It definatly is a suprise" I say to her and invite her in. "How come your here? how did you get here? Are you on your own?" I say as I show Jackie through to the kitchen and turn the kettle on again
'Didn't Luke tell you? We planned it last week, that I was coming here to stay for a couple of days, that is ok isn't it?' Jackie asks
"Of course it is, your more than welcome, come on, sit down, tell me all" I say as I push my coursework out the way "By the way, this is Milly. Milly this is Nanny, say hi" I say as I pick Milly up and she miows. By that point Jackie has melted like butter, takes the kitten from my hands and cuddles her until Milly falls asleep on her lap.
Luke comes home at 5.30 like usual, he walks into the kitchen and smiles broadly as he sees his mum sat on the chair. I smile as they hug eachother and listen to her telling him what shes been doing. I kind of miss my family when I see him with his mum or when he speaks to her.
"Lets sit in the front room" I say. We all stand up and take our cups into the lounge and Milly follows behind us slowly.
"Hows everything going back at home?" Luke says. Home. Home makes me squint and make a noise with my mouth.
'I'm going up to get changed, i'll be back in a minute' I say, getting up and leaving the two of them to talk about "home". I sit on our bed and take out my photo of my family. I smile as I look at my brothers and sister and wonder what they look like now. Have they grown? Do they remember me?
I miss you I whisper and place the frame back into the draw and get changed into my pyjamas. I go back downstairs and start making up dinner. Luke comes into the kitchen and wraps his arms around me
"Was it a nice suprise?" he whispers in my ear and I nod
'More than a nice suprise" I say back and he smiles and kisses my cheek
"Shes got something to tell you in a minute, do you want me to carry on cooking that and you go talk to her?"
'That would depend if its a good something or not' I say to him and he takes the spoon out of my hand and nods his head towards the door that leads into the dining room where Jackie is sat playing with Milly again
"this little kitten here is adorable" she says as she strokes her belly, I nod and sit on the sofa next to her
'Yeah, shes lovely, she makes me smile' I say and look down at her. We sit in silence for what feels like ages and then Jackie finally starts talking
"So he told you I had something to talk to you about yeah?" She says and I nod
'Yeah, he did, Umm.. whats going on?' I say as I look at her
"The thing is, hun, is that your parents have started a search for you. A proper search. I had to be careful today that no one was following me, they are saying that because your only 17 you shouldnt be here living on your own with Luke" I stare at her with wide eyes "I've told them all I dont know where you are, even a police officer, Chris has tried to contact you but obviously you changed your number, he wants to help you, we've spoke alot, he doesn't want you to go back there, but he wants to know your okay" Jackie explains
'Well you can tell them all i'm okay, right?' I say 'I mean, you can say you got in contact with us and came to see us and that everythings fine, that i'm fine' I say to her
"Thats something i'm going to try, but I need you to do something for me too" Jackie says and I nod "I need you to call Chris. I have his number on my phone and you can call from my mobile, no one will know its you, he's said that. Its between you and him and no one else, but he wants to speak to you" I look at Jackies phone that shes clutching in her hand and take it from her
'Hes not going to tell them where I am?' I say and she shakes her head
"You dont even need to say where you are, he just wants to speak to you so he knows your okay, that your... alive". I find out Chris's number in her address book and watch her walk out of the lounge and into the kitchen. I press dial and listen as the phone connects then starts ringing

Hello? that old familiar voice says down the phone, sending calm over my body but my mind freezes
Hello? Is anyone there? Laura?is that you? Laura if it is speak, please, please, i beg you.
Chris? I whisper to him and he gasps for air
Law?he says and I nod then realise he cant see me
Its me I say back
Oh, Law, thank you, God thank you for calling me, I didn't think you would. Is Jackie there now? Are you okay? Where are you? Sorry, you don't need to tell me. I have so much to talk to you about. Are you healthy? Are you eating okay? Luke's treating you right isnt he?Chris says all in one and I laugh
Slow down! I'm fine, really, i'm doing well. Whats going on Chris? Why are they searching for me?I ask
Questions were asked about your whereabouts. People started to wonder if mum or dad had done something to you.I gulp as i hear him say that
Something like what? I ask
You know, like, um... hurt you... so their searching for you so they can prove they didnt, that your alive and your okay and they say they want you back, just to cover their backs I guess. But Laura, God, If your happy there, I don't want you to come back, because thats all I want. Lucys here, she says hi and the baby, shes wavingChris says and a tear forms in my eye
I'm doing good, really. Hi Lucy, hi monkey. I miss you all, I say and start to sob a little
Will you let me come and visit you?Chris asks
I.. don't know. I say back to him
Laura, please. At least then I could say I've seen you. And I could even say i'm providing for you or something. Chris begs me and my heart sinks
I'll talk to Jackie and Luke about it. I have to go, I'm on Jackies mobile, okay?I say to him quietly so he doesnt hear that i'm crying
Please dont, I can call you back. Chris says and I shake my head
I'll call you in a couple of days, I have to go.. ok? I whisper again
Laura, I love you please stay safe, I beg you, please. Chris says and I hang up and start sobbing. Milly comes running up to me and sits on my lap and then Luke comes in and sits next to me, he wraps his arms around me and holds me tight, shhushing and rocking me
"Hey, no tears, whats our pact? no tears" He whispers in my ear
'I'm sorry' I say and he kisses my neck
"Dont say sorry, silly" He says to me "Silly sausage" I snort at him calling me sausage and he pulls away and smiles "See, that always gets your smiling" He says and I smile again, wipe away my tears and kiss Milly
'I just miss him, I really do' I tell Luke and he nods
"I know, I really do. We'll arrange to meet him, okay? You can see him, it'll be okay you'll see. You can get a big brother hug again"
'What if it all goes wrong and mum and dad turn up instead? what if they set me up or set chris up,what then?'
"Hey, hey, thats not going to happen, dont think negative. Hes your brother, he's not going to let anyone set him up, he's old and has a brain on him, you know, he always has. He knows whats right and he knows protecting you from your parents is right, you'll see" Luke looks me in the eyes and wipes away my mascara thats ran down my face "You look like a panda" he says and I snort again.
'Is dinner ready?' I ask him and he nods, I stand up and he follows me, but before we walk into the kitchen he takes my hand and squeezes it tightly, pulls me closer and whispers in my ear
"Everythings going to be okay".

[effervescence]

it's good - just one thing, my most hated grammatical mistake - shouldn't have, not shouldn't of.
