The Perils of Sue Cartwright
Chapter 2
"We just have to keep look out." Peter instructed "this week we watch their every move."
"But who tells Hoss and Adam?" Beth asked
"Should we tell Hoss and Adam?" Jenny enquired
"I'll tell them, they're my brothers, I should do it."
"We're right behind you Sue" Simon replied supporting his friend.
Sue knew her friends would always be there. They always were whenever she had a fight with her brothers. And she was and always will be there for her friends.
"Aren't you kids going to dance tonight?"
"Come on!" Sue said changing in to a different character her friends saw a minute ago. Sue could easily switch like that, weather it was a good thing or not, it had to be a good cover for now.
Outside the school house Sue and her friends were discussing
"I saw Wilma with John Green"
"And I saw her with Ben Hathaway"
"Sure they weren't just saying hello?"
"Do we kiss when we say hello?"
"No… well what do we do now?"
"Tell Adam and Hoss I guess"
The friends stood silent for a while, the school bell rang for the second half of the day, but all Sue could think of was Wilma and how she would tell her brothers.
"Hi Sue" Hoss called as Sue rod up to the house
"Hi Hoss, did you have a good day?"
"It was fine till five minutes; let's just say my plans have changed for tonight"
"That doesn't sound good" sue said getting off her horse
"It isn't, you just make sure you know who to trust Sue"
"Sure Hoss" `I already know`
Sue was now in her room consulting her mother about the whole situation, unaware that someone was listening the other side of the door.
"What should I do ma? I should tell Adam and Hoss, but I don't want to hurt them! I could tell pa, but he always says we should sort our own problems." Suddenly there was a knock on her door.
"Come in"
"Hi Sue" Joe entered and closed the door "I hear you have troubles"
"You've been listening!"
"I only listen when I need to. Now this thing about Adam and Hoss?"
"Wilma is cheating on both of them as well as two other men."
"Well it sounds like you should tell our brothers before they find out for themselves. It will hurt them less, plus you'll feel like more of an adult after, honest."
"I suppose I should go and tell Adam then" Sue hesitated Joe gave her a half hug which gave her the strength to face the oldest brother.
Sue nervously knocked on Adam's door.
"Come in" came his reply
"Adam can we talk?"
"Sure"
Sue noticed that Adam was getting all dressed up "where are you off to tonight?"
"I'm meeting Wilma tonight, and I'm going to ask her to marry me"
"Adam you can't!"
"Why not?"
"Adam she's seeing other men; she's been seen round town with four different men."
"Don't say that Sue, she's a wonderful person and its none of your business who I go out with!"
"I'm trying to protect you!"
"I don't need you to, now I'm going to marry her, I don't care what you say"
"Adam please"
"Stay out of it Sue!" Adam shove Sue out the room and slammed the door on her.
`Maybe I could talk sense in to Hoss?` she thought as she went to find him.
