The next day Martha sat at the desk in her kindergarten class room next to her best friend Tasha Osbourne. "Martha are you ok?" Tash asked.
"No, Mummy and Daddy had another fight last night" Martha started.
"Oh, I hate it when my Mummy and Daddy fight, they don't stop, and then some how my name always gets mentioned, and they don't even think I can hear them" Tash told her (Angie Russel and Ian Osbourne stayed together when they had Tash).
"Yeah they used my name a lot last night, Mum was going on about how he didn't show up at the recital yesterday".
"Did you want him to come?"
"Yeah, he never comes to anything, he just sits at work, even your dad came yesterday".
"Girls do you need any help?" their teacher Miss Brown asked as she walked past their desks.
"No thank you miss" Tasha answered.
Back at the Macklin's house Roo was sitting at the table next to the kitchen frustratingly tapping her long polished nails against the surface of the circular table, she'd been sitting there all night, dozing off for most of it waiting for Brett to come home, she had it all sorted, it wasn't going to be like this anymore and she honestly didn't know why she'd put up for him all these years, the only time she'd gotten up was to get Martha ready for school that morning. But then she could hear the door open and the sound of Brett's business shoes against the tiles. "Well that was record timing, usually your not back for days at the least" Roo commented in a straight voice, not even turning to face him. Brett didn't say anything he just walked into the kitchen and started making a coffee. "Brett About last night" Roo started again.
"What about it?" he asked harshly.
Roo, holding herself together strongly stood up before answering. "I've had enough" she told him, in the same tone he had said the same words in last night.
Brett looked up, shocked, in all the six years of their marriage he'd never hear her say that, or anything of the sort, "what do you mean?"
"I mean, I've had enough of you Brett. The last six years have only ever been about you and what you want, never a slight consideration for me or Martha" she started. Brett went to open his mouth but Roo go a word in before him "and don't you even start about money". There was a moment of silence, Brett didn't know what to say, she'd stumped him, just like she had last night. "Look Brett, ether you start acting like a part of this family and stick around or leave, and don't come back, what your doing to this family is disgraceful and it has to stop, and it will stop, starting from right now".
Please review and tell me what you think, even if you don't like it, I'd love to hear from you.
