1 Nothing in the Way





Chapter 1:

Fights and Flying Glasses

Alex walked reluctantly through the front door of the O'Connell mansion.. He was almost afraid to go into the kitchen where he knew his parents were sitting, and probably fighting again. For the past couple of weeks they had been fighting so much that to Jonathon and Alex agreed it was worse than their "mushy" love crap.

" Good day, chap!" Jonathon said heartedly as Alex walked in the door, although Alex could tell he look worried, and sober. Which didn't happen often.

"What's wrong Uncle Jon?" although Alex already knew the answer "You look sober."

"Wrong?" exclaimed Jonathon trying to keep the worry off his face. "What the hell could be bloody wrong?"

Alex looked at his uncle, "Please Uncle Jon, do you expect me to believe that?" he said looking at Jonathon as if he was crazy.

Alex pushed passed Jonathon on his way to the kitchen, already he could hear the screaming of his parents. Arguing about the same things too. Evie wanted to go back to Egypt, but Rick wouldn't allow it. He was already upset with how much time she spent the museum, but going back to Egypt after being killed by Anck-su-namun was enough!

Jonathon ran after Alex, "Now chap are you sure you don't want to go outside or something?" Alex could tell that the fighting must be bad if Jonathon was this determined to stop him from going into the kitchen. But Alex just kept walking.

Already he could hear the screaming, and wished he hadn't gone in the kitchen at all.

"Why the hell would you want to go back to Egypt after being killed Evie?" Rick yelled with plead in his voice "I'm not going to risk losing you again Evie!"

He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, but Evie turned away and slapped him, "What do you have to be so protective for? Egypt is in my blood!"

"You think I don't know that?!" Rick yelled louder getting impatient "Don't you even care that you spend all your time at that god damn museum instead of paying attention to your only son?"

Evelyn gasped, surprised and mad that her husband would ever accuse her of neglecting Alex. Out of her anger she picked up a glass and threw it as hard as she could at Rick, he ducked, the glass missing him hardly. "How dare you accuse me of neglecting my son!" she screamed trembling with anger in her voice, "I work at the museum to earn a living and house this damn family! I'm not going to get myself killed again anyway! Can't I even go back if I'm not going to have anything to do with Imhotep!?!"

Rick still surprised from the glass stood up angrily, " You don't have to work that much Evie damn't! After what Jonathon maid on the diamond why the hell do you have to work at the museum 24/7? We are not going back to Egypt Evie! There is no way I am going to put you in that kind of god damn danger again!" With that he grabbed the keys of the car out of Evie's hand, and stormed out the door.

"Oh great now your going to come back bloody drunk aren't you?" Evelyn screamed after him as he stormed out the door.

All the color had drained from Alex's face as he had watched his parents worst fight yet. He ran up the stairs quickly to his room without saying hello to his mum.

Jonathon stormed into the kitchen angrily after had watching them fight, " For cripes sake Evie if you two have to bloody fight can't you at least do it where you know Alex isn't around?" Damn Evie why don't you just to agree with him for once? Can't you see he just doesn't want you to get bloody killed again? None of us do!"

Evelyn threw a glass at him just as she had to Rick. He moved over just in time, the glass going through the kitchen window. Then Evie ran up the stairs and slammed her bedroom shut. Alex and Jonathon could hear things breaking up there

Still shaken Alex tried to sit down to do his homework, but couldn't help thinking about what he had just seen. " His parents would get over it," he tried to convince himself. " I mean come on they could never walk out on each other could they?"

Later that night Rick finally came home after getting drunk. Jonathon still mad about them fighting around Alex, who hadn't even come down for dinner, exclaimed "Cripes O'Connell can't you two settle your fights when Alex isn't around? And then you come back drunk!"

Rick punched him in the face knocking him to the ground. " It isn't like you haven't ever b-been drunk." He said slurring his words. Then he went up the stairs to his bedroom

*~*~*~*~*

As Alex got ready for bed later that night he could hear his mother yelling again "Can't you even come back sober if you had to come back at all?" slapping him again

" I don't even want to sleep with a drunkard like you anyway!"

"Fine then! Have the damn bed! I don't give a shit! I'm sleeping on the couch anyway!" And with that he slammed the bedroom door behind him, and went down to sleep on the couch.

Alex shaking again tried to chase the words out of his head. His parents would be ok in the morning right? But that was what he had been saying for the last 2 months.. This time he couldn't even convince himself. He went to bed crying... Having a bad feeling that his parents weren't going to solve their problems. He had always thought that nothing could get in the way of their love. He went to bed crying. Knowing he was wrong.
