Broken

Chapter 29

4 months later………….

I had been at my parents for 4 months now and to be completely honest, I could probably do with another 4 months away but the real world beckoned me.

I had spent the last 4 months just being free and young. One of those weeks Shane drove us down to Dorset and we spent the week just relaxing and enjoying our time together. It had been one of the best weeks of my life as I got to know my big brother again who had been there so much for me since I left Norwich to be with him and our parents. Even though I had spent most of the time hobbling around because of my broken leg!

Whilst I was away Ben had his trial which luckily I didn't have to attend as he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, attempted murder and manslaughter. the judge gave him 15 years in prison but he could only serve 10 years of that, if he was on his best behaviour. I had received a letter from him afterwards apologising for what he had done and he had also asked me to go and see him but I wasn't ready to do that and I wasn't sure if I ever would be. He wasn't the person I knew anymore but then I wasn't the Amy he knew anymore either, I had changed too.

As for Jenny, Sarah told me that she had moved away after she heard what Ben had done to me. No one was sure where she had gone but I think being involved with Ben had made her realise that she needed to sort herself out. I felt bad for her obviously but I held no grudge towards her.

I had heard from Sarah, Cal and Liam but I responded vaguely to the boys and only Sarah knew how I felt about them both. Sure I loved Cal but could I be with him again? I just really didn’t know. And Liam? Sure he was a great friend to me and he was really there when I found out I was pregnant but is that all he would be? Just a friend?

How could I go back when they were probably expecting an answer from me but the truth was I just wanted to be single for now. After everything with Ben, Cal, Liam and the baby, I really just needed time by myself. The last 4 months had given me that but I felt like I couldn’t be with someone just yet.

My scars were still healing, literally! My ribs were better but if did too much then I definitely felt it! My leg was beginning to get better but I still had physio to get through.

But yet here I was about to return to the lovely Norwich as Sarah had finally booked her wedding and I of course was maid of honour. She had come down to see me a few weeks ago with my bridesmaid dress which I tried on and it fitted like a glove! It was just perfect. She had been so happy to see me and I realised just how much I had missed her!

Cal was best man which I had fully expected him to be but I guess I was worried about any weirdness that there might be between us but he had already text me to say that things wouldn’t be awkward and that he was looking forward to a dance with me. I didn’t reply to that text, it went ignored like most of his other texts to me.

Liam had also text saying that he couldn’t wait to see me at the wedding but again I couldn’t reply. I didn’t know what to say to either of them. They both wanted answers that I just didn’t have.

But now I was back and I guess I have a lot of thinking to do!

Authors note

Oh don't hate me! I know this is sooooooooooo short! But I wanted to give you guys a little insight into how Amy is feeling right now. I also tied up the loose ends with what happened to Ben and Jenny so I hope that helped :)

Remember to check out my new story The 2 Brothers and Me :) and I'm hoping to update Broken properly next week :)

Much love
