Here Comes a Regular
Abby woke up and the first thing she heard was yelling.
"Stewart why are you here? This isn't your home anymore, or do I need to remind you how you cheated on me!" yelled her mom
"I'm sorry Vic I'm just here to talk to Abby; I just wanted to spend the day with her"
"Get out! I don't want you talking to Abby, Jude, or Sadie okay! Just leave"
Abby got up and turned on the radio to drown out the yelling. The first song she heard on her favorite station was Jude's song to their dad, "Skin". It got her started thinking about the day of the divorce.
"Okay well as long as I get full custody of the girls, it's okay" her mom told the divorce lawyer who would soon be her boyfriend.
"Well Miss Harrison, I can assure you that he will not be bothering you again" said the divorce lawyer
"Good, I hope it stays that way. Okay girls ready to go to court?"
"Mom do we have to be here?" It's just not the happiest place to be right now" said Jude
"Yeah mom, Sadie and I agree, we really don't want to be here" said Abby
"Well girls you have to be here so that the judge knows I'm not lying about him cheating on me, so I need witnesses and the more the better. So i'm sorry but just this one day, that's all i'm asking for is one day."
"Fine" said Abby very annoyed
Ever since her mom found out about her dads affair, they weren't aloud to have any contact with him, it was forbidden, her mom made that VERY clear.
"Girls, I'm so sorry that you have to go through with this" said the divorce lawyer
"Bite me" said Sadie
"Sadie! That's not how you speak to people" said her mom
"I'm 19 mom, I can do whatever I want to." replied Sadie
"Give her some credit Sadie, how would you feel if your so called "loving" husband cheated on you?" said Abby
''You're right, I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry that you don't know how to handle this alone" Sadie said as she walked away in fury.
"She's right, I know she is, but I just can't deal with this, i'm so sorry girls" cried their mom
"Its okay mom, she's just really mad about what dad did too. When I cam back from Sydney, and Jude got back from tour, and Sadie got back from Italy, we were hoping that everything would be better again, that you guys would have fixed everything. And it really just hurts that it didn't." said Abby in a low voice
They walked into the court room and the rest is history.
"Mom dad will you two stop fighting? I told dad to come meet me today because I wanted to see him" said Abby now out of her flash back.
"But honey, I don't want you talking to him I thought I made that clear."
"You did, but there's something I really need to talk to him about."
"Okay, I guess if it's that important, just this on time"
"Thanks mom!"
And they walked out the door.
It was Friday family dinner, something Abby has been avoiding since she had come home for winter break. Tonight's Dinner wasn't a normal family dinner though. More guest than usual her dads Fiancé and her mom boyfriend had joined the dinner.
"Now its not family dinner anymore, it's more like a circus" She mumbled to herself laughing at her joke.
By circus she meant my soon to be step brothers and new step sisters.
"Thank god my bedroom is in the basement" Luckily she was able to blast her music at "Ungodly volumes" as her dad would say. She never minded the basement though, it was a great place to escape her parents constant fighting.
She slowly descended up the stairs quietly not wanted to be dragged into the whole family dinner thing.
"Where is it?" she said to herself looking at the massive wall of cd's.
She noticed Wally had spotted her stealth act, then giving him a come hither kind of monition wandered into the kitchen.
"Hi!" she said wrapping her arms around him and kissing him passionately
"So what is this I hear about you and my sister dating?" She questioned jokingly
"I missed you so much, you have no idea." She said hugging him again
"I've missed you too" he said giving her another kiss
"So you're being stealth, eh?" he said making her laugh
"Oh, I was looking for my The Replacements Cd. I'm in the mood for something sort of depressing. Even though there's nothing quite as depressing as family night here at the Harrison residence" she laughed
"Ya well your family is pretty well weird. No offense"
"Ya I hear ya." She kissed him again
"You better go before my dad catches us and he cause some global warming"
She's kissed and hugged him tightly, this is what she missed the most about home her boyfriend. He was one of the only reasons she came home for the rest of her winter break.
She watched him
She started tip-toeing to go back towards her room she heard the words she dreaded to hear
" Abby Honey, don't be rude come sit and chat with us" She smiled
" Sure" she replied politely
She found an open seat next to Wally and sat down. Jude gave her a funny look she was the only one who knew about them being together. In return giving her the 'shut up' look back
"Honey, are you ok?" her mom asked
"Just peachy" she replied "Just peachy"
