Heartache and friendships - chapter nine

Chapter nine

Cadee ran into the bathroom. Miranda was leaning over Adam and Paul was searching for more bandages. Cadee held onto the doorframe as to not collapse. He couldn’t stand being without her. Miranda smiled up at cadee but she couldn’t smile back. Adam wouldn’t look at her and Shaun was just as shocked as her. The only thing she could do was run. She ran down the stairs and out of the front door. It was beginning to rain slightly but cadee couldn’t care less. She didn’t want to be in that house right now. Adam was mad at her, Shaun probably didn’t understand her, and her father and Miranda would be concerned. She stood in the middle of the road and screamed. If it hadn’t of been for her mother, she wouldn’t have ended up feeling like shit. When Shaun came down and put his arms around her she finally felt at ease. He held her close in the middle of the road for a while before Paul came down and spoke to them.

“Alright, you two up in the kitchen. Sit at the kitchen table”

“Why?” Shaun questioned. Cadee was thinking the same thing but didn’t want to be in any more trouble.

“Because I said so! Now get moving!” her father yelled. Cadee pulled away from Shaun and walked up towards the house. Paul held Shaun back and looked him in the eye.

“If you slept with my daughter and caused this outburst I’m going to kick your arse so bad. Now get up stairs and I don’t want to see you anywhere near her. Got it?”

“Yes sir” Shaun spoke before walking towards the house with Paul. He loved cadee; she was one of the only things that made him happy. Other than music and his mother, there wasn’t much. She understood him. She cared for him and didn’t care what anyone thought. He sat at the opposite end of the kitchen table and stared at a stain on the table. They had laughed when he did that. They had fun in the beginning. But now Paul was serious. It was Cadee’s mother. She had brought on all this stress and pain. As Paul entered the room he stared at cadee who had tears still sitting on her cheeks.

“Wipe the tears away cadee. Now are you going to be honest with me?”

“About what sir?” Shaun asked. Paul just looked over at him and then back at cadee.

“I was speaking to cadee, actually” Paul said sternly. Cadee shivered and ran her fingers though her hair.

“I’ve always been honest with you dad. And you should believe me when I say I didn’t sleep with Shaun. I can’t believe you think I’m that cheap too”

“Cadee! I didn’t say you were cheap. I just expected that you would tell me the truth. You could have at least hidden the condom”

“Shit” sighed cadee. Shaun stared at her and she stared back at him.

“You need to both not speak to each other. I don’t want to see you sitting on the verandah together. Your to act like brother and sister..”

“But were not brother and sister!” Shaun exclaimed, scaring cadee with his rage.

“Shaun this isn’t the time!” Paul yelled back. Shaun stood up, throwing his chair as he went. Paul walked over to him but Shaun just walked off, up the stairs and into his room. Cadee heard his door slam. She knew the urge to be with him would get the better of her. Paul sat down and put his head in his hands.

“Look, cadee..” Paul began but cadee was already leaving the room. He felt bad for yelling at them but they needed it. Cadee had Adam on the sideline for when she needed a good night. She was using him and abusing him. When cadee got to her room she found her mobile ringing on her bed. When she picked it up the familiar voice of Sam spoke on the other end.

“How your eye sweetheart?”

“What?” cadee was scared. How did he know?

“Your eye, you know the one your mother hit. When she was enraged after I told her where you had been and who you were engaged to”

“That was you?” cadee found herself full of rage.

“Oh yes baby. It was I. now when are we going to make up again? I miss our make up sex”

“Never!” cadee screamed into the phone before she threw it across the room. Adam could hear her yelling but was too weak to see what was going on. He didn’t know what came over him. Every time he saw her with another man he felt jealous, enraged. He didn’t want her with anyone else but he always preferred it.

Shaun turned his music up loud and screamed the lyrics in his head. Every line, every beat reminded him of cadee. He stood up and bashed his fists on the wall. He collapsed into a heap in the corner. He couldn’t handle Paul treating him like this. When cadee snuck into his room at midnight he was scared Paul would check her room and find her not there. When he found out about the phone call she had from Sam he was enraged again.

“If I ever meet him, I’m going to fucking kill that faggot!”

“Shaun stop it. Your going to get us caught”

“Sorry” he said sheepishly.

“Your forgiven” she said before kissing him. “Promise tomorrow you’ll stay home so I can sneak into your room”

“Promise. Now get back to bed. I’ll text you in a minute” he said before kissing her. She wandered over to her room and smiled. She wasn’t lonely, but she wasn’t obeying her father. He could have said no and left Adam and herself on the street. But he didn’t. She had been texting Shaun for a while when her father burst through her door.

“Cadee, I have to take Miranda to the hospital, her waters broke” he rushed back out and Adam stood in her doorway with some bags. “Stay away from Shaun while I’m gone or so help me I’ll kick your arse!” her father yelled as he rushed out the front door. Cadee ran up the stairs and jumped into Shaun’s arms.

“I love you cadee” he whispered.

“I love you shaun” she whispered back.
