Prologue.
One.
Two.
Three.
Greta was possibly one of the hardest people to hate. She had a personality that was so much like Brendon's. No wonder he got along with her well.
Brendon took my skateboard and left just after introducing us, the arsehole. I sat with Greta on the edge of the bowl, both of us watching Brendon skate, our legs dangling over the edge.
"I'm glad I finally got to meet you Ryan. Brendon's told me a lot about you." Greta said, breaking the silence.
"I hope whatever he said was good." I chuckled.
"Yeah it was. He said you were an amazing guitarist and an even better song writer."
My cheeks went red and I laughed nervously, not really knowing what to say.
"Do you play any instruments?" I asked.
"Yeah I play guitar aswell. I've only been playing for just over a year though." She answered
"That's awesome. I've been playing for a while. Did Brendon tell you anything else?"
"He said that we would get along well."
"Yeah? I think we will." I smiled.
She looked relieved and laid down, her hands covering her eyes.
"So how has your first trip to the mall been?" I asked, watching Brendon.
"It was ... eventful." She answered.
"How so?" I asked curiously.
"Met Jesse Hunter. I think that would say it all?"
"Yeah, it would be. What happened?"
"He was being an arse.The looks I got and the way he spoke to me, it was yuck." Greta answered, obvious disgust in his voice.
"Uh, Greta. How was he speaking to you and looking at you?" I tried to hide the worry in my voice and somehow, she didn't seem to notice it.
"He was just looking at me as if I was a prize, soomething he needed. I dunno, it made me feel really dirty."
"Greta, you have to be careful around Jesse okay?"
"Ry, what do you mean?" Greta sat up and looked at me.
"Look, Jesse has this weird thing with girls. If there is one he wants he won't stop til he get's her. I think he might try and go after you. With girls he doesn't go slow, he doesn't really care about what they want full stop. Just be careful okay? I don't want you to get hurt. I haven't known you long but I can tell Brendon really cares about you."
"Thanks for looking out for me Ry, do you think you and Bren could stick around me at school? Not just because of Jesse but you know. It's hard for the new girl to fit in." She asked shyly.
I looked at her and smiled. "Ofcourse. You didn't even have to ask. And don't worry, I could just be reading Jesse the wrong way but still, be careful around him okay?"
"Your acting like such an over-protective parent. It's great!" Greta laughed.
My cheeks flushed red and I could see Brendon heading over this way.
"You two seem like you getting along." He smiled. "What were you talking about?"
"Ryan being the best, over protective parent ever!" Greta grinned.
-------------------------------
"Mum, do you think you can call me tomorrow morning? I have to leave for work." I asked, hurrying out the door with my shoes half on, already running late.
"Okay sweetie. I'll talk to you tomorrow. I love you."
I paused long enough to say "love you too" before hanging up and running out of the door. I ran around the corner and down the main road, I knew the route to work off by heart. I was 5 minutes late by the time I got there. Greg wasn't to happy. He called me to his office the second I walked in the door.
"Ryan, your late." He grumbled.
"Yes, I'm sorry sir. I got caught up sir. Won't happen again." I mumbled.
"Ryan, it's the 3rd time in just over a week you have been late. Your usually my best employee. Now your always running late and slacking off on the job. I asked you to clear up the mess in the back room on tuesday and that didn't get done. If your work does not improve Ryan, I will have no choice but to let you go."
I stood there looking shocked. I could not lose this job, I just couldn't. It was the only way I could support myself.
"No sir, you don't understand. I couldn't help being late. It was ... my ... I haven't..." I stumbled, trying to come up with a good reason other then "my mum called and I haven't spoken to her since she walked out on me and my alcoholic father 9 years ago."
"Look, Ryan. It's not something I want to do. Your a good kid and I know why you need this job. I just can't afford to keep you working here if you aren't going to do what's required of you."
I looked down and just nodded. I didn't trust myself to speak.
"You can go back to work now, just please Ryan. Don't screw this up, okay? Your a good kid."
I nodded again and walked out of the office, feeling the eyes of other employee's on me as I passed.
I didn't look up, I just kept my head down and kept on working.
----------------------------------------
I fumbled around my messenger bag for my phone.
"Where the fuck are you?"I yelled.
I didn't want to do this again, I couldn't do it. I had to. I threw my bag across the room and headed for the house phone, dialing the number that I had been dreading to call.
"Hello, 911. What do you need?" The opertaor asked.
"Ambulance." I answered.
"What is the problem?"
"It's my dad. Alcohol. Fuck. I just need them. Please."
"Certainly. What is your address?" Her voice was way too fucking cheery, it was getting to me.
I told her the address and she told me they would be here in a couple of minutes and not to worry.
To me, they were only words. They couldn't help, they couldn't take away the pain I was feeling.
I slammed the phone down and I could feel the frustration inside me. I hated this, I hated what was going to happen. It wasn't fucking fair. It never was.
A few hours later I was pacing the corridor of the hospital. The smell was getting to me. I hated it. I hated the hospital. I hated my father for doing this to me. A nurse walked out of his room and walked towards me.
"Nice to see you again Ryan. Not under these circumstances though." She said.
"Uh ..." I had no idea who this girl was.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Sandra. I was your dad's nurse last time." Sandra laughed at my puzzled expression.
"Uh yeah. Now I remember."
"Ryan, if you want to I can take you down to the caferteria and we can talk." She placed her hand on my arm in an attempt at a comofrting gesture. I don't think she realized I was only 16.
"No, I'm fine. How is my dad?"
"He is fine, going to keep him in til tomorrow." She answered
"Can I see him?"
"Sure. He'll still be asleep. Try not to wake him." She smiled.
I gave her a small nod and walked into his room. I sat on a chair next to his bed and watched over him silently.
I hated how this was normal, sitting in the hospital at the early hours of the morning after my dad nearly drank himself to death. It made me feel shit. I shouldn't have to grow up like this, no one should. I had seen this way to often, fuck the doctors even called my dad by his first name now. That shouldn't happen. This shouldn't happen.
His eyes flickered open and it took him a few seconds to realize where he was. That's when it began. As it always did.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" He yelled, jumping up from his bed.
"Dad, calm down. Your in the hospital. Please dad. Calm down."
"DON'T TELL ME TO FUCKING CALM DOWN!" He grabbed my wrist and I tried to shake him off.
"Dad, let go! Please, just calm down." I pleaded.
He pulled me closer and I tried to push him away, earning a hit to the face.
"Let ME FUCKING GO!" I yelled.
A few nurses ran in and tried to wrestle him back into the bed.
I waited for a few minutes and walked out, my hand on my fresh bruise. This would be hard to explain.
I walked aound the hospital til I could find the exit and walked out, The rain falling as I started the walk home down the dark, familiar streets. The dim street lights followed me home.
