25th November
Lisa Dawson was rather unhappy with her marriage, to say the least. George Dawson had been uncompromising, unfaithful, and uncaring towards her and the children for the past 6 years.
After the death of his brother, Tony, his alcoholism had only got worse. Spending their life savings, living on welfare, and popping prescription pills, was not what Lisa had planned her life to be.
Of course, they had had 5 beautiful children: but to see them hungry? To see them afraid, and angry at the world? To see them spiralling into the depths of poverty and depression?
She couldn't watch her children suffer anymore.
had to get out of if it was only temporary.
"I`m leaving".
"What?" her drunken husband slurred.
"I can`t take this anymore, George. You, and I .We only got married because I was pregnant in the first place. At first, yes, things were good. But then the good times ended, and you destroyed everything because of that. You know what? Shit happens in life. Bad things happen. But you have to stand up, and battle against them."
"Whatever, Lisa. I`m not listening to this."
"I'm leaving. I need time to clear my head, have a life for myself. The kids will no doubt be taken away soon enough…and you? You'll rot here, a drunken slob, with nobody left."
"Keep your hair on woman" George giggled. His drunken state was no aid to the situation, only infuriating Lisa more. Her blue eyes raged, scanning over the man who she had once fallen deeply in love with. Part of her felt an immense sadness that things were no longer the same, but she could not succumb to such feelings again.
"I`m going George. Tell my darlings I said Goodbye." She whispered, calmly approaching the door, suitcase in hand.
Lisa Dawson had left.
George realised this was no longer a game: she was gone. For good: he had lived with her long enough to know when she meant something or not.
Slouching up out of the chair,he opened the window and yelled out to the streets below.
"Lisa? Lisa? Come back, stupid bitch!"
His eyes were drooping,as he succumbed to tiredness,retiring to his chair again.
"This is all a dream…"he mumbled to himself "a very bad dream."
Hope you enjoyed,please review :D!
