Chapter 9…
At mary's place Kathleen was talking to her husband and Cheryl when she saw adam coming;"Hi,adam,your wife just left."
"I'd be carefull if I were you if you go home,because she's in a terrible mood."said his brother-in-law teasing;"But I guess you probably already knew that."
"Cass!"warned Kathleen him irritated before she turned towards adam;"Didn't you talk to her after I told you that she didn't lie to you,adam,didn't you guys sort things out?"
"Ofcourse I talked to her,but when I told her about you telling me that she hadn't been lying and I apologized for not believing her she got furious with me and this morning she was gone before I woke up."started he slowly;"She thinks that I don't trust her."
"And do you?"asked Cheryl;"Do you trust her?"
"Ofcourse I do!"answered her brother-in-law irritated;"What kind of a question is that,cheryl?"
"I can understand why m. think that you don't trust her,adam,she told you something and without hesitating you accused her of lying."began she hesitating;"When Kathleen told you the same thing you believed her without a doubt,but when m.j. said it you thought she was lying."
"That doesn't mean that I don't trust her!"said adam;"Does it?"
"Let's just say that maybe you guys have some things that you need to sort out that you haven't yet."started his brother-in-law slowly;"Something about the past that you haven't really dealt with."
Darren had been out to lunch with alex when they got back to his place and found his front-windows totally smashed.
"What the hell…?"started Darren in shock as they got out of his car;"My window!"
"Oh,my god!"said his girlfriend just as shocked;"Who would do something like this,darren?"
"Who do you think?"asked he furious and wanted to get into his car;"This is your ex's doing!"
"Where are you going?"began alex worried as she grabbed his arm;"Darren?"
"Where do you think?"answered her boyfriend while he pulled away from her;"I'm going to kill him,alex,I've had enough of his damn stunts!"
"No,Darren,wait!"started she even more worried and stopped him again;"Don't go doing something that you might regret later on,because he isn't worth that!"
"What do you want me to do,alex,just let him keep getting away with this kind of crap?"asked Darren still angry;"This needs to stop!"
"It will,Darren,I will go and talk to him to make him stop!"said his girlfriend;"He's only doing this because of me!"
"No,you're not going anywhere near that manic!"began he stuned about her suggestion;"Who knows what he will do to you,alex,I don't want you anywhere near him!"
"But somebody has to go and talk to him to make this stop,Darren,it's obvious that it can't you and he isn't going to hurt me or anything!"answered alex;"It'll be fine!"
"No way that I'm gonna let you talk to him,so you can just forget about that and I want you to promise me that you won't go anywhere near him!"said he;"I will talk to shawn or something to get this nutcase stopped,alex,but you have to promise me that you won't go near him!"
"Okay,I promise."promised his girlfriend quickly as she gently pulled Darren with her towards his house;"I won't go near him if it makes you feel any better."
At the mall ryan was walking around,looking at the windows of the stores,when his friend showed up;"Hey,r.c."
"Hi,danny."said he;"I missed you at my birthdayparty lastnight."
"Well,I didn't think your family would want me there after what happened last year and I know that they still don't approve of you hanging out with me."started his friend with a faint smile;"So,how was your party?"
"It was great,but it would have been better if you had been there too."answered ryan;"What happened last year wasn't your fault and my family can't decide who I get to hang out with,danny,I decide that!"
"Thanks,buddy."smiled he;"Since I wasn't able to be there lastnight on your birthday-party I will make it up to you by throwing you a private party next week."
"That sounds cool."said his friend surprised;"What are we going to do then?"
"That's a surprise."laughed danny;"But you're gonna love it,ryan,I promise."
That afternoon Courtney was sitting the yard at home with Jennifer when shawn came in through the backdoor,just finished from his shift at the policestation;"Hi,shawn."
"Hi."said he with a grumpy look on his face;"Where are mom and dad?"
"They went out together and won't be back untill late lastnight."answered his sister;"What's bugging you,grumpy?"
"Nothing!"started shawn irritated;"Don't call me that,Courtney,damn it!"
"Watch it!"warned she him;"Let me guess,shawn,you ran into devon today again?"
"That is none of your business!"said her brother angry as he walked into the house;"Just mind your own business for once!"
"That was mean,Courtney!"answered Jennifer as she looked at her friend;"Why do you keep teasing him with that?"
"It's fun."laughed she;"Besides it's his own fault that he's miserable because I'm sure that if he did his best that he'd be able to get devon back again."
"I'm not so sure about that,Courtney,we don't know what broke them up or what happened."said her friend;"Maybe you should stop teasing your brother so much with that."
M.j. had just taken a bath after working all day long at mary's place as she came into the bedroom in a bathrobe and saw adam sitting on the bed;"What do you want,adam,I'm not in the mood for another fight!"
"I don't want to fight with you."said he;"I already told you that I was sorry about what happened and for not believing you."
"I don't care if you're sorry,adam,if you had trusted me then this wouldn't have happened!"started m.j. tired;"The fact that you still don't trust me really makes me sad and it hurts me too!"
"I do trust you and I'm sorry if I made you feel like I don't,m.j."answered her husband thrown by the look in her eyes and grabbed her hand;"What can I do or say to make it up to you,honey,please tell me!"
"I don't know what you can do or say at this point to make up for it,adam,I don't even know what else I can do to make you trust me again."said she softly as she pulled away from him;"I guess that some things just can't be rebuilt no matter how hard you try."
"Don't say that!"started adam shocked by her words;"We just had a stupid fight,sweety,that's all!"
"This wasn't just a stupid fight and we both know that!"answered his wife tired;"Can you please go away,adam,i need to get dressed."
"Sure."said he frustrated while he walked away and closed the door behind him;"Fine."
At the hudson's jake was coming out of the study when the doorbell rang and when he opened up the door he saw the d.a. standing there;"Hi,robin,what brings you downhere?"
"I came to tell you something before you got a chance to read it in the paper tomorrow."started she hesitating;"There might be a new trail for alan garrison."
"What?"asked jake shocked;"You're joking,right?"
"I wish I was,but his lawer has been pushing for this for a while now and he has finally found a judge who's willing to look at the case again and make a decision on it."answered the d.a.;"I have been trying to keep this private untill we were sure about it,jake,but somehow some stupid reported got a hold of the story and a friend of mine at the newspaper called me about an hour ago to tell me that this was going to be on the frontpage in the morning,so I just wanted to warn you guys."
"This is crazy!"said he angry;"How can some judge decide to overturn the verdict of the jury and give that son of a bitch a chance for a new trail?"
"His lawer claims that mistakes have been made by the police and that not everything was legal,so if he can prove that then not only will garrison get a new trail,but he also might even end up becoming a free man again."
"No way,robin,they can't do that after everything that he did!"
"I'm sorry,jake,if this were up to me then he would rot away in jail."answered robin and walked out the door again;"Please tell kristy that I'm really sorry."
