Scrapyard
It's a few days since I told the police about what happened, which means it's now the summer holidays so at least I don't have to go to school. Today I'm going to the scrapyard with Adam since Lachlan's been released on Bail which means he is still roaming the village.
"Hi, You don't mind if squirt helps us out do you?" Adam asks as we walk over to the office. I hit him on the arm lightly at the use of my nickname in public.
"Sorry Miss Georgia Elyse Barton." Adam mocks in a posh accent, god he knew how to embarrass me as I went bright red and both boys laughed.
"It's fine, What happened to your arm Georgie?" Aaron asks
"I fell over, broken wrist." I tell him.
"Hope it gets better soon." He replies. I thank him before I zone out as they talk about cars, parts and related stuff.
Adam then hands me a hi-vis jacket and we get to work on the Ford out front.
We have been working on the car a while when Adam touches something in the engine and his hands are covered in grease. He looks over and smirks at me before wiping the grease on my cheek.
"Really." I say putting my hand in the car where his was and wiping the grease on him. We do it a few more times until there is grease all over our faces and hi vis jackets.
"Having fun? You know you have to do the lunch run like that." Aaron questions from behind us although he's laughing.
"It'll give Brenda something to gossip about." Adam replies placing his hi-vis jacket in the office.
Adam goes off to the café to get us all some lunch but I opt to stay back with Aaron who is on the phone in the office. I'm sitting there swirling around in Adam's chair when I spot a figure making there way across the scrapyard.
"I'm going to see who's out there." I whisper to Aaron as he's still on the phone.
"Thanks." He mouths.
It's not until I get outside and a little away from the building that I realise who it is and I immediately regret coming out here.
"What do you want?" I ask Lachlan
"I told you not to tell anyone, Your going to pay for this." He whispered pushing me up against the wall.
"You know we could have been happy, made a proper go of our relationship. We could have put what you did behind us." He tells me as if all this is my fault.
"What I did?" I question.
"Rejecting me, I could have moved past that but this, you'll pay for this." He threatens.
I see Adam running across the scrapyard, he drops the bag of food and pulls Lachlan off of me slamming him against the floor.
"Adam get off him" Aaron shouts trying to break the pair of them up.
"Come near us again and it'll be much worse." Adam says as Aaron pulls him off and Lachlan gets up.
"She deserved everything, I'm going to kill you both for this." He then says as he runs away.
"Adam" I call as Adam runs after him but he clearly doesn't hear me.
"ADAM!" Aaron shouts much louder than I ever could and Adam looks backwards seeing me sat on the floor slumped against the wall he stops in his tracks and runs towards us both.
"Are you ok? I swear if he's hurt you." Adam says kneeling in front of me.
"I'm Fine." I lie. I suppose physically I was fine although my arm hurt but mentally I was terrified.
We both stand up and Adam puts a supportive arm around me.
"What was that about, Beating up a kid?" Aaron questions.
"Trust me if you knew what he was like you would been there beating the crap out of him 10 times harder then me." Adam tells a very confused Aaron. Before looking over at me and clearly realising he had said too much.
"Shit. It's nothing. Well it's something obviously but it not my place to tell you. Don't tell anyone ok. It's a long story." Adam says a little muddled.
"Right, get her home, I'll get Robert to cover your shift." Aaron tells us.
We thank him before going back to the farm.
"I'm going to lay down." I tell Adam running up to my bedroom, since my top is covered in grease I pull a t-shirt out of my wardrobe and search around the top shelf for my favourite hoodie. As I pull it out a little pouch of white powder falls out.
Holly's drugs, I hold the packet in my hands for a few seconds as I sit down on the bed before shoving it in the draw of my bedside table.
