Breaking Hearts

[carlsbabe]

Please comment,its my first story!

Ok,everyone will have to use their imaginations for this one,but please work with me here!

Thomas and Anya are 14
Scarlett IS Carls daughter
But Carl is the same age(I cant imagine him older!)
He is married to Chas

The bell rang.Scarlett collected her books and headed for her uncle Jimmy's red sports car.She slided into the back seat,where Kelly was sitting.Kelly gave her a big hug."How was school today?"Said Matthew fom the front seat."Alright,apart from the fact its school!"laughed Scarlett.Matthew smirked and Jimmy smiled.He was really glad that they all got to know Scarlett,whether she was their sister or niece.As Jimmy drove off,Scarlett and Kelly were busy talking about bridesmaid dresses for the wedding.
When they reached Home Farm,Carl was waiting for them.Scarlett hugged him and cried "Hey Carl!"She couldnt call him Dad.Tt was too weird.Carl didnt mind,he said it reminded him of being old.As the Kings got out of the car,Chas drove up.Carl walked over to the car and kissed her through the rolled-down window."Missed you babe"he mumbled hugging her tight when she got out of the car."I was only at work,silly!"she hit him playfully.When they got inside,they decided to order pizza."Im too tired to cook"moaned Chas.When it arrived,they all sat down to eat.Suddenly the doorbell rang."I'll get it!"Yelled Scarlett,hopping up.She ran out to the hall and opened the door.Standing there,in the pouring rain,was a teenage girl.She had make up plastered on,and she had the hood of her pink tracksuit over her dyed blonde hair and hoop earrings.She had her hands on her hips,and was chewing gum.She would have been gorgeous if she scrubbed off the makeup and dressed nicer.Her grey,heavily outlined eyes stared Scarlett up and down."Who the hell are you?"She said to Scarlett.Scarlett just stared at her.Why did she arrive at HER door,and demand who SHE was?Scarlett heard her dad's chair scrape back as he stood up.A few moments later,Carl was standing beside Scarlett."Oh my God"he said.

"Hi,Dad."Said the girl."Remember me?"
"Anya???What are you doing here?What happened you?You look-wheres your mother?"In a flash Jimmy,Matthew,Chas and Kelly were beside them.Jimmy and Matthew looked at eachother.Chas just stared at Anya.Kelly looked at everyone,confused.Anya stepped in,and pulled her hood down.Her blonde hair was soaked."Thanks for the welcome.Its lovely to see you too,Dad.After 5 years,you havent changed a bit.And neither have you two"She added,nodding to Jimmy and Matthew."I know,i have always kept my eternal good looks."Said Matthew.Anya smiled,and ran to hug him.She always had felt close to Matt.She had sort of took after him.His sarcasicsm,his cockiness,even his steely grey eyes.They had kept contact through text messaging.He always felt like he had to protect her.He knew about her constant fights with her mother,her problems with drink,her problems at school,and her big problem.The one that resulted in her mother kicking her out.He knew she was coming.He didn't want to tell Carl,he thought he should find out for himself.Anyaturned to look at her father,"Well in answer to your questons,im here cos mom kicked me out.No reason.She just did,the hard-hearted cow."She felt Matt's eyes on her,but she knew he wouldnt say.Carl can find out later,when she has decided."And my mother is at home,with Thomas,where you left them.Any more questions?No?Then you can tell me who the hell this weirdo is."Indicating Scarlett.Carl couldnt believe it.Had he more questions?Yes.Thousands of them.He answered "Scarlett"He paused."You half sister."

[carlsbabe]

"WHAT??You.Are.Joking.I am NOT related to her.Ewwww!OMG!I think im going to FREAK!!"Anya ran into the kitchen and slammed the door behind her.She pulled back her hair and breathed heavily.She didnt know why she was doing this.It was over-reacting,she knew it.But this-this WEIRDO shared her dad with her.Carl was her and Thomas's dad,no matter how much she resented him for leaving them.It was clear he adored Scarlett.The perfect daughter.No drink,boys,ciggarettes or late-night-parties for her.She fitted right in.Her and her perfect,non-revealing clothes.Her hair,no highlights or anything.Probably didnt even own a tracksuit.She sat down on the floor,hard.How long was she here for?Does she live here?Does Matt have a better relationship with her than with me?Never mind Jimmy.He probably worships her.Why were all these thoughts running through Anya's head?

Back in the hall,Carl stood in shock,staring at the floor."Whats wrong?Why doesnt she like me?"Scarlett asked Carl,her eyes full of tears.Jimmy walked over and put his arm around her."Its alright"he muttered,kissing her head,"Its ok."Carl didnt even look at Scarlett.Matthew felt like he was going to burst with anger.Wait,no.He WAS going to burst with anger."WHY COULDNT YOU HAVE JUST BEEN THERE FOR HER??"Carl looked up at his elder brother,startled."ALL SHE WANTED WAS HER DAD!AND SHE COMES HERE,LOOKING FOR COMFORT,AND YOU GO AND TELL HER SHE HAS A BLOODY SISTER!SHE HAS ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITHOUT THIS!AND THE STRESS IS BAD FOR HER,YOU SELFISH GIT!""Whats your problem?"Carl stood up straight."What do YOU know?Shes MY daughter!What stress?"But Matthew wasn't listening.He pinned Carl up against the wall."WHO WAS TEXTING AND RINGING HER ALL THIS TIME,HMM?WHO WAS TRYING TO HELP HER WITH ALL HER PROBLEMS?THATS FUNNY,I DONT REMEMBER YOU THERE AT ANY OUR SECRET VISITS!!!HOW DARE YOU SAY YOUR HER DAD!YOU WERE NEVER THERE FOR HER!"She threw his little brother on to the floor,and stomped off to the kitchen.Carl lay in a crumpled heap.He didnt know how to feel.He stared up at Jimmy."Dont look at me,this is news to me too.Kelly,can you take Scarlett?""But-what-bu""Just take her!"Jimmy snapped.Kelly pulled a sobbing Scarlett close to her,and guided her upstairs.Chas followed close behind.

[carlsbabe]

sorry it took me a while to reply,im slow at typing!

[carlsbabe]

Anya sat there,her eyes tightly closed.She heard the door opening,but she still didnt open her eyes.She felt someone kneel down beside her.The Matthew whispered gently,"Are you alright?"Anya smiled and looked up at her uncle,tears dripping down her cheeks."Not really.I heard yelling,who was that?"Matthew grinned"Yeah,that was me.So whats up?Did you visit the centre?"Anya's smile vanished."Yes."She said quietly."They said-they said.."She began to sob uncontrollably."They said it was too late for an abortion."Matthew looked at his niece,mascara running down her face."And what did Kevin say?Did you tell him?""Yeah,i told him.He left me.He met someone else.I cant give birth,im only 14,Matt.Im only 14"Matt hugged her.Everything will be okay,Anya.I promise you."

"So,thats his kid?His kid from his marriage to Coleen?"Kelly asked,her eyes wide."Yes"Chas said,gritting her teeth at the mention of Carls ex-wife."Oh God"Kelly whipered.The three were sitting on the edge of Scarletts double bed in her room for when she stayed at Home Farm.Scarlett was sitting in between Chas and Kelly,sniffing occasionally.She had got over the abuse from Anya,but seeing her dad being thrown around by her uncle had upset her even more.She wasn't saying much,just leaning on Kelly while Chas had her arm around her.Chas strained to hear anything from downstairs.Silence.Kelly whispered "Can you hear anything??"Chas shook her head."No.Nothing."

[carlsbabe]

Down in the kitchen,Matt and Anya were talking quietly at the table when Carl came in.They stopped abruptly."Well,"said Carl,"Dont let me interrupt you".Matt glared at him.He stood up"Im off to bed"He hugged Anya."See you tomorrow"He walked out the door,and Carl and Anya listened to him walk up the stairs.When no more footsteps could be heard,and the house was silent,Carl looked at his daughter.She was looking at the table,avoiding eye contact.She looked like she had been crying."Coffee?"he asked,remembering on his visits to her and Thomas,years ago,she used beg for a taste of his coffee."No,thank you"she looked at him.Carl hesistated,and then sat down beside her."Im sorry"he said."For what?"Anya half-laughed."For not being there for you.For not telling you about Scarlett.For not visiting you and Thomas.For-" "No,seriously,its fine"she said. Carl put his hand on her shoulder."No its not fine.I missed 5 years of your life.It should have been me that was visiting you,not Matt.I havnt been a good dad,and for that im so sorry." He waited for her to answer.After a moment,she looked up,her eyelashes spiky with tears.She was smiling,but there was sadness in your eyes."So"He continued,"how are you?I mean,is everything alright?" "Yeah,everythings alright.I swear."She reassured him."Okay"he said"Well if you ever need to tell me anything im here for you from now on.And do is Jim.And you must meet Chas,and Kelly,and-" "Omigosh!I completely forgot!Wheres Tom??"She looked around,expecting him to appear out of nowhere."He-he died"said Carl,looking at his at his fingers.Anya was shocked.She couldnt feel sad,even if she wanted to be,cause she only met the guy once before in her entire life.He didnt sound very nice,the way Matt had talked about him."How?"she asked gently."Murder"Carl said,not looking up."And we are suspects"Anya gasped."You,Matt and Jimmy?" "Yeah.But we didnt do it.I swear to you Anya." Something suddenly clicked inside Anya's head."No wonder Mom wouldnt let us read the papers a few monthes ago!" "Yeah,that was probably why."Carl agreed."Its okay"Anya whispered,"I believe you"Carl looked up,shocked.He hadnt thought she would be so relaxed about it."Well,maybe you should be getting up to bed.You can use one of the spare rooms" "thanks carl"she hesistated,wondering she would hug him.But right now,she didnt think she could,not after all that happened.SHe pulled back her chair and stood up.

[carlsbabe]

Chas and Kelly were standing outside the kitchen door.Chas had her ear up to the door,listening to the muffled voices coming fom the other side."What can you hear?"said Kelly excitedly."SHHHHHHHHH"hissed Chas,unable to concentrate.Suddenly she froze.She could hear chairs scraping back."They're coming!" They sprinted upstairs,Chas fleeing into the bathroom and locked it.Kelly ran into her room,laughing.She had always loved a bit of gossip.

Anya walked around her chosen spare room.It was nice enough,a bit too fancy though.She thought about going to sleep,but she didnt think she could.She changed into her borrowed pyjamas.She caught sight of herself in the full lenght mirror that was on the door to the ensuite.She glanced at her stomach,the gasped.Her stomach,which was usually flat,had become a dome-like shape.She couldn't bear to look.She flopped back on her bed.She felt something hard beneath her.She sat up and turned.It was her mobile.She looked at the screen.2 new voice messages.She listened"Hi,Anya?Its Thomas.Where are yeh?Moms goin' crazy.She thinks your gone to Dads.Please,please ring back." She pressed the Next button "Anya,this is Kevin here.Look,im too young to be a dad,so,like,dont try ringin' me again,okay?" She looked at her phone,disgusted.I never liked you anyway,slimeball,she thought.She would voicemail her brother back in the morning.

[carlsbabe]

yeah,im kind of addicted to writing it!I had to take a break in the middle to watch emmerdale lmao!

[rtzen01]

Ye that was good can't wait for next part

[carlsbabe]

Anya was lying down in her bed.Carl was walking over to her,Scarlett was behind him.She was smirking in an annoying way.Carl sat on the bed beside her."I made you believe me,and you fell for it."He raised his hand.In it was a knife,shining with blood.He brought it down quickly,right at her stomach...."MATT!HELP!STOP,NO PLEASE,MY BABY!" She felt someone shaking her.She woke with a start.Matt was holding her arms firmly,shaking her."What?Anya,whats wrong?" Anya started crying."It..it was....." "Its ok,now,im here.Its alright." Anya sobbed into his chest.Suddenly she sat up.Her stomach churned."Ohmigod,im gonna be-"she ran to the toilet and got sick.Matt held her hair back,and when she had finished,got her a glass of water."Sorry,morning sickness" Matt laughed and hugged her."No need to apologise.You okay now?" Anya nodded "Yeah" Matt guided her back to bed"Try and get some sleep,its only 5 in the morning.Ill get you some breakfast later."He headed towards the door."Matt?" He turned to see Anya standing up."Are you tired?"Matthew paused."No"he lied.He would do anything to be with Anya,even stay up at night."Do...do you want to watch tv?"He asked her.A smile spread across her face."Okay"

Scarlett woke at 7.She always did,even when she was tired.She could hear laughter downstairs.She was about to head down,but then she listened closely.It was Anya,and someone else.Scarlett thought,and decided against it.She went back to bed and began to read.

Anya and Matt were eating some toast,when Kelly came down in her dressing gown.Kelly stared at Anya,who stared right back at her.Kelly felt weird around her.She looked very rough,not the kind that would hang around with Scarlett.She felt defensive towards her.Anya had a smirk on her face."Morning,Kelly"Matthew said,smirking also."Matthew"Kelly greeted him.She went to the coffee maker to get her morning coffee.She made it,and,feeling uncomfortable,went upstairs back to bed."Who is she?"Anya asked her uncle."Kelly.Your idiot uncle Jimmy is marrying her."Anya laughed."She looks a bit of a cow!" "Too right,"Matthew agreed,"Well,im off to the office.Tell your dad and Jimmy to hurry on" "Bye"She hugged him."See you later" "Oh yeah,take my credit card,and buy yourself the shop if you want" "Ta mate.Later"He left.Anya sat back,deep in thought.Suddenly,Scarlett burst in."Oh.Its you."said Anya."Scarlett folded her arms"Look,i dont know what your problem is,but-" Anya stepped towards her."You want to know what my problem is?Its YOU.Got it?So stay away from me."Anya pushed her out of the way and walked out.She went upstairs and changed,came back down and walked straight out the front door.

[carlsbabe]

Anya walked through the village.She felt a bit lost.She didnt look it though.She prided herself on always looking cocky and confident,even when she felt down.She spotted a pub and walked in to get directions.It was only ten in the morning but it was already busy. She walked up to the bar and waited to be seen.A middle age blonde woman was busy pulling pints."Hello??"said Anya sarcastically."Oh sorry love,i'll be with you in a mo"said the woman."Well,i kind of need you now!"The woman looked at her"Watch your lip,young lady!" "Dont tell me to watch anything"said Anya,and grabbed a pint off an old man sitting at the bar and poured it over the bar,and walked out.The pub watched her in silence as she stalked out.

Shadrach Dingle exploded in laughter and said to the woman,"That'll be a free refill then,Diane!"


Anya kept walking,giggling to herself.She walked til she found a young black-haired man.She kind of liked the way he looked,even though he was in his twenties.So what?When she was dressed like this,she looked 18."Excuse me sir,could you tell me where the bus to Hotten stops?" "Just across there.Call me Andy,sir sounds strange." "Well,thanks Andy"She smiled at him before strutting off to the stop.

[gudboy]

Its really good!!

[carlsbabe]

Thanks gudboy!

[rtzen01]

this is good keep it up

[carlsbabe]

Anya sat on the back seat of the bus,smirking.She had enjoyed her exchange with both of the people she met.The crazy blonde bat,and the man.She saw a group of teenagers get on,and she pulled up her hood.Two old woman tutted.

"Youth these days"said Betty,as she eyed the blond teen behind her,"Nothing like us.Oh,to be young.Wouldnt waste childhood like some teens around here seem to be doing" "What would you know,you old wrinklie???" "Betty and Edna turned to stare at the girl."Did you hear me?I SAID,what would you know?You old bag!" "I never-"Edna began,but Anya interrupted,"As if I need your opinion.I dont really care about crypt keepers."She stood up and yelled "DRIVER!Stop here!!"And stumbled down the bus and jumped out onto the footpath.She stared up at the sign.1 1/2 MILES TO HOTTEN.Anya paused,bursting a bubble she had blown thoughtfully.She turned,and began to walk in the dirction of Hotten.


Back at King and Sons Offices,Carl and Matthew were still ignoring eachother,avoiding eye contact.Jimmy had noticed this,and decided to end it."Hey Carl,ask Matt for the account book will yeh?" Carl looked up from his car magazine hidden inside the paperwork he was supposed to be doing."Eh?" Matt sniggered.Carl turned to his brother to shoot him an evil look."Problem,Matthew?" Matthew crossed his legs,not even bothering to look up from his sandwich."No.None at all.Apart from, well lets see,that you were born." Carl stood up abruptly,knocking his chair back."You little-" "Hey.HEY!You two!"Jimmy cried,standing in front of Carl,holding him back.He knew that Matthew had got to Carl.He always had.He noticed over a lifetime with Carl,that Matthew's coolness annoyed Carl,who had never had been able to do the whole sarcastic thing."Matt,there now need for that now,was there?" Matt laughed,but didnt answer."Look,I dont know whats wrong with him,but SORT IT!"Carl grabbed his jacket,and stormed out the door."Jimmy turned to his brother,exasperated."Why do you always have to wind him up?" "Its what big brothers do,Jim.But you wouldnt know.You're too good"
