CHAPTER 2
The next morning John Ross, knocked on his Mother bedroom door, and Scott was angry and Sue Ellen tried to calm him down..
"I need to get his breakfast, he has no school today, I'm taking him to Southfork to be with his Father".
"Why he is here until Friday"?
"I don't think he is having fun here, he misses his Father and Grandma".
"He is a spoiled brat who needs to grow up".
"Please stop, he is right outside the door. I don't want him to be scared".
Scott jumps up and opens the door, "What do you want"?
"My Mom" .
"OMG, can't you go down to the kitchen, and make your own breakfast".?
"Yeah, but she normally comes down".
"Scott please" Sue Ellen runs to the bedroom door
"Go down she will be down in a minute". Slamming the door
John Ross goes to walk down the stairs, and he hears his Mother say. "Scott please stop this", John Ross hears a slap
John Ross runs downstairs, and sits at the table ,and puts his hands to his ears.."It is my fault, It is my fault".
Scott grabs Sue Ellen," I'm taking you to Southfork, but it will be with my Partner. He is picking me up at 10am". "I will go with you, and bring you home. You better not think your going to ask for help".
"I'm not , I don't want my son to be here when your so angry. What is wrong? You were wonderful when we married and after a couple of months you changed.. Why"?
"It is you , I can see you miss your boy, and you think about his Father"?
"I miss my son, but I never did anything to make you think I miss JR".
"I'm going to take a shower, and you go fed your brat, and then we are going to go and drop him off".
"You don't have to come with me. JR won't be there ,he works".
"I don't care, do you hear.. He better not be there",
"Scott, I sold Valentine's for you because you didn't like me working late hours. I wanted this marriage to be good, I love you".
Scott walks away, and goes into the bathroom, and slams the door..
Sue Ellen puts on her robe,and wipes her eyes, and went to John Ross..
"Hey You, did you get anything to eat."?
"No Mom, I waited for you".
"What do you want eggs, and toast and bacon"?
"Yes, that sounds good".
Sue Ellen pulled out the bacon, and put it on the counter. She reached in to pull out the eggs, and it slipped out of her hand..
"Oh no" , she grabs paper towels, and tried to wipe up the mess." Damn, can't I do anything right."
John Ross grabs his Mother's hands, "Mom he is hurting you".
"No John Ross he just yells",
"Mom stop he is, I'm telling Dad".
Sue Ellen grabbed him" no John Ross, your Father can't hear about this , he will get involved"
"Help me pick up this mess"
"Why because he will beat you"?
"Forget it I will do it, go watch TV".
Sue Ellen starts to cry, "sorry Mom I will help".
They wiped it up, and Sue Ellen was making toast..
"Mom, you can come back to Southfork , Dad would be happy".
"John Ross, I'm married to Scott, stop".
"Mom he beats you, I heard him".
"He didn't John Ross"
"Look at your face Mom, don't lie"
Sue Ellen didn't notice Scott coming down the stairs..
"What is going on"?
"Nothing".
"Really John Ross, I thought I heard you accusing me of something".
"No, I wasn't"
Sue Ellen was petrified John Ross would lose his temper.
"John Ross go upstairs, and get some stuff ready for home".
"Yeah, Mom"
Scott looked at Sue Ellen, "did you tell him that I hit you"?
"What no, he heard you".
"It was your fault Sue Ellen, you provoked me"
"I provoked what? I did nothing to provoke it.. I don't understand why you do it"?
Scott walks toward her ,and she realized she was boxed in a corner of the kitchen.
"Scott your right, I provoked it. I'm truly sorry. Can I go get ready to take John Ross to Southfork".
"Yeah, get me a coffee first".
Sue Ellen poured the coffee, and left to go upstairs..
She changed into some jeans, and looked at her arms she had to wear a long sleeve blouse..
Scott opens the door," Tim is here hurry up"
" Ok I will be there in a minute".
Sue Ellen goes and gets John Ross," come on we will get you home".
John Ross hugs his Mother, "I'm sorry Mom".
"Why "?
"It is my fault, he doesn't like me around, I keep talking about Dad."
"It not your fault, but promise me you won't mention this to anyone at home".
"He is not like this all the time ok".
"Promise Mom"
"Come on".
Sue Ellen walks out, and gets into the back seat of the patrol car with John Ross, Tim turns,"Hi guys".
"Hi Tim, nice to see you again". Scott turns and glares at Sue Ellen.
She turns and looks out the window.
No one talked all the way to Southfork..Tim parks and Scott opened the back door."Drop him off and get back to the car, I need to get you home, I'm working remember".
"Yes Scott, just let me explain to Clayton".
"Fine go".
Sue Ellen see's Clayton and Ellie," Hi "
"Oh, Sue Ellen, what happened to your face."?
"I bumped into my bedroom door last night" ..
"Oh it looks sore".
"No, it is fine".
Can you tell JR, I dropped John Ross off early because he was missing his Father".
John Ross held on to his Mother, and she had to pull away from him. "John Ross , I have to go, Scott needs to get to work".
"Sue Ellen, why didn't he come over with you and say hi."?
"He is in a rush, I'm sorry it looks rude".
"No it is ok".
"Mom please" .
"John Ross, I love you, see you soon.. Remember what you promised right".
"Yeah".
"Bye".
Sue Ellen walks to the car.
"What took you so long?
"Long it was a couple of minutes".
"Get in"
Scott turned," what did you say to Clayton and Ellie"?
"Nothing, just that John Ross wanted to see his Father"
"Really , that is it".
"I said Yes",
"What your talking back to me in front of my partner".?
Tim looks," take it easy Scott, she didn't do anything wrong".
"Oh look Sue Ellen, your getting my partner all hot and bothered, your really good girl"
"I didn't do anything".
They got to apartment, "I will see you later Scott, Goodbye."
"Wait, Tim stay here, I need to say something to Sue Ellen in private".
"Scott come on we are late".
Scott grabbed Sue Ellen's arm, and Tim stood by the car.. Damn that man.
Getting to the apartment Scott pulls her in..
"Listen here , I'm not going to tolerate you making a fool out of me".
"I will be home around 10pm, we will have a long talk".
"Scott please, I didn't do anything".
Scott turned and smacked her knocking her to the floor..
"Stop talking back to me.. Do you like provoking me"?
"No, Sorry".
"Good", Scott left shutting the door.
Sue Ellen locked the door and walked to the couch.. She couldn't stop shaking, "damn, what am I going to do?. I can't tell Clayton he will try and Kill Scott. Oh JR, I wish I could call you".
Sue Ellen grabbed a pillow, and held it close and rocked herself to sleep.
