Love, pain and Commitment for Zoe and Max Chapter 4

The sun was shining through the curtains of the Walker's flat. Zoe and Max were asleep and Georgina was in her room. All content and happy that the truth had been told in the open. Zoe had made the decision to try and not mention her daughter's past again, it would upset Zoe properly more than Georgina.

A few weeks had gone past and Zoe and the family were on more solid grounds again. Over the time that has past Zoe and Max had become more close as they needed to be, with the news that they had heard, and Georgie had therapy soon.

Zoe was the first to wake,

"Morning Maxie", Zoe yawns and kisses Max on the shoulder,

"It's too early", Max groans under the covers,

"It's just 8 in the morning", Zoe looks her clock,

"Still, we had a late night last night didn't we?", Max sat up a little and smiles at Zoe,

"Yeah we did, but now it's time to get up because…", Zoe said as Max was hugging Zoe and trying to stop her getting out of bed,

"NO", Max was laughing,

"Because we have a busy dayyy", Zoe giggles as she gets up.

"Oh Zoe, I do love you", Max smiled.

Max was left there on the Zax bed smiling and giggling to himself.

A while later, "MAX", then there was a voice he knew well coming from the kitchen. Georgie was stood in the kitchen and was not looking happy,

"Georgie? Everything alright?", Max came in and found Georgie crying,

"Max, I don't want to go to school today", Georgie shouted a little,

"SSHH, it's OK, come and sit down", Max held Georgie and they both sat down on the sofa together,

"Do you like school?", Max spoke gently.

"Do you think that I would be saying No if I wanted to go", Georgie looked at Max,

"Why don't you want to go then?", Max saw the worry in his daughters' face,

"Because I get picked on", Georgie began to get breathless,

Zoe was making breakfast in the kitchen,

"Zoe, it's Georgina, I think you might want to talk to her", Max came over and talked quietly to Zoe who was buttering toast,

"Why, she's getting ready for school?", Zoe looked confused handing Max some toast,

"She's not, she's sitting on the sofa in a mood", Max said, pointing in the direction of their daughter.

Zoe looked and signed at Max who she knew was right, something was up and of that Zoe was sure Georgie would not want to say. Georgie was becoming a lot difficult to deal with recently. Zoe put the butter and spreading knife down and wondered over to her daughter,

"hey poppit, have you been talking to Max about school?", Zoe came and sat down smiling rubbing,

"Yeah, and you're going to make me go aren't you", Georgie was shouting this time,

"Georgie, there's no need for that behaviour is there", Zoe was not happy with her daughter shouting at her,

"Do you what, I knew there was no point in talking to you about it", Georgie stormed off grabbing her bag on the way and slamming the apartment door behind her.

Zoe just sat there for a moment. Then stood up walking to finish breakfast,

"That girl sometimes", Zoe sighed and ate some toast,

Max was smiling,, drying up the washing up.

"What are you smiling at?", Zoe said before grabbing her car keys,

"You, it's always you", Max turned around and kept smiling,

"Fancy a meet up in our normal place at work?", Max said, putting a mug away,

"If you mean in what you call your office which is the store cupboard, then no", Zoe snapped, putting on her heals..

Max was now laughing at her,

"Max, stop laughing and get a move on, or we'll be late for work", Zoe came over and grabbed her bag, then the tea towel from Max and headed towards the door.
