Chapter 2
July 2012.
The doorbell rang.
'I'll get it!' said Eleanor cheerfully. She had just been on her phone for one hour texting Louis. Her and that Louis. She is older than me by 10 months aged 19 but she acts like a 13 year old boasting about her first kiss when it comes to Louis. She walked to the door and opened it carefully. A man stood there in a police uniform. Oh God what has mum and dad done now!
'Hello my name is P.C. Chambers and I would like to speak to either Eleanor or Juliet Calder?' He said.
'I'm Eleanor!' Eleanor said,'I'll just call Juliet! JULIET! THERE'S A POLICE OFFICER HERE TO SPEAK TO US!' I wandered into the hallway and stood by her scratching my head.
'Is there any trouble officer?' I asked.
'I have to inform you that John and Hayley Calder have died on the date of July 2nd 2012 in a rogue drunk driver accident. I'm sorry for your loss.' The officer said,'I understand that you are both over 18 am I correct?'
'Yes, yes we are.' El said.
'Thats good so I won't need to put in homes or on the street.'He said,'Ok girls the trial is tomorrow. You don't have to be there but I would prefer if one of you went?'
'I'll go.' El said.
'Ok that's perfect see you tomorrow Miss Calder.' He said and then walked off. They've gone. My parents have gone. I never loved them but I still feel empty. I need a cigarette badly! I used my last one this morning. I'll go out and get a pack.
'El do you mind if I go and get some ciggies?' I asked.
'No not at all! Please get a pack for me!' She replied.
'Will do!' I grabbed my handbag and my grey hoodie and walked through the door. It was quite early, 7 p.m and it was still light outside, but everything felt dark. It was only a two minute walk to the convenience store. Once I reached the store it started to rain. Thank God I'm wearing my hoodie. I walked inside and headed for the counter.
'Hi I'd like to packs of Marlboros please!' I said to the man over the counter.
'Can I see your ID please?' He asked me. I got out my driving licence.
'Thanks miss,' He said,'Here are your cigarettes.' He handed me two packs of those luscious things and I paid him. I walked towards the exit pulling my hood up. I opened one pack while getting out my lighter. I lit the cigarette and inhaled deeply. God, that felt good. I exhaled again when I started to walk. I walked past my mum and dad's old baker's shop and then thats when I let it all out. I wept for ages.
'Are you ok?' I heard a irish male voice.
'Yeah I'm ok. It's just hay fever.' I said between sobs.
'It doesn't sound like hay fever. Here, sit down and talk to me.' He said. We sat down on the old bench outside the shop.
'Ok now tell me everything.' He said. I let it all out everything. I couldn't believe I was telling my whole life to a complete stranger who I didn't even know the name of.
'You poor thing!' He said,'I guess you would like to know who I am.'
'Yes please.' I mumbled.
'I'm Bobby, Bobby Horan,' He said proudly,'I'm the father of Niall Horan in One Direction.'
'Oh thats weird because my sister is Louis' girlfriend. I'm Juliet Calder.' I said.
'How lovely,' He said. I smiled at him. He leaned towards me.
'I know something that might make you feel better.' He said with a mischievous grin plastered on his face. He placed his hand on my jeans. I looked at him and nodded. He started rubbing between my legs. Faster and faster. I let out a small moan. It felt so good. He was obviously an expert.
'You like that?' He said and I nodded,'My car is parked just round the corner. If you want more then you can come with me.' I nodded again unable to speak. Eleanor would disapprove but who gives a shit about her. All I want now is Bobby. My Bobby. I stubbed my cigarette and stood up. Bobby took my hand and led me around the corner. Parked in front of me was a black mercedes. He opened the passenger seat door for me and I clambered in. He walked round and got in the drivers door. He leant over the middle of the car and kissed me passionately. When we separated he smiled at me and squeezed my knee. I blushed. He turned on the car and we set off
