Chapter 10
KC blinked a couple of times as Patsy waved a hand in front of his face… "KC" she hissed, "Stop staring!"
"Huh what?" KC rambled as he shook his head and smiled at Ellie, who raised an eyebrow…
"So, I said how did you know about Ned?" Ellie repeated…
"Um… I heard about him from someone" KC lied… he didn't even want to know how Ellie and Ned got together… the thought just made him shudder…
"Oh" Ellie said as she shook her head "Do you guys want to stay for dinner?"
"Huh?" KC asked; he didn't get what Ellie was asking…
"KC, she simply asked if we wanted to stay for dinner," Patsy repeated in a strained voice as she nudged him…
"Sure… that would be great thanks"
"Great" Ellie replied with a smile… "Make yourselves at home"
KC and Patsy sat on the sofa, huddled close together… whilst Patsy kept cursing KC for agreeing to stay for dinner. Just when she'd nudged him… the door flew open and two more people stormed in…
"I told you Andy… leave me the hell alone…"
"Ah Tally, Andy… you're back" Ellie stated… "Good day?"
"Oh shut up," Andy yelled as he stormed into the living room, saw KC and Patsy and then stormed back into the kitchen "Why the hell are they here? Is this a drop in centre now?"
"Who?" Tally asked as she poked her head around the corner…
"They're KC and Patsy… they knew my sister. Now please don't be annoying little twits and be nice to them" Ellie retorted back, her tone of voice suggesting that she had the last word…
Ten minutes of silence, and the group were seated at the dinner table, just waiting on Ned. "Come on Neddy" Ellie called, as Tally and Andy rolled their eyes…
Ned emerged from the bedroom, and KC's eyes just flew wide open… Ned had a Mohican and it made him look so stupid. "Hi Ned" Patsy said, as she jumped on KC's silence…
"Hey strangers… welcome" Ned said with a smile… "Kids" he said to Tally and Andy…
"For god sake Andy, at least acknowledge Ned" Ellie pleaded… "You can't ignore him forever…"
"Wanna bet?" Andy replied as he scraped his chair along the floor and stormed off to his room…
Ned looked a little upset as he turned to Tally "How's my girl? You mad with me?"
Tally groaned, "I'm not 'your girl', you freak"
"TALLY!" Ellie warned…
"What?" Tally screeched… "He won't sort out the skank who got me pregnant" she retorted, pointing to her belly which was quite round… something KC had neglected to take in earlier on…
"You're pregnant?" KC asked….
"Yes… thanks to the skank called Sammy" Tally cried… before she similarly got up and ran off to her room…
Ned looked dejected and Ellie put her head in her hands, as KC glanced at Patsy…
KC was glad that him and Patsy had made a hasty exit… the atmosphere at the farm was horrid. KC couldn't figure out what Ned's deal was… he seemed almost like a nice guy in this reality… Tally and Andy, well they seemed to be extremely rude and unhappy… whatever was going on with them, KC wasn't sure he wanted to know…
"Earth to KC" Patsy smiled as once again she waved her hand in front of his face…
"Oh sorry Pats… I wasn't thinking"
"It's okay. I'm getting use to the space cadet KC… I even kind of like him" Patsy replied with a smile as she rested her head on KC's shoulder…
"I'm here for you Pats. I want you to know that" KC said suddenly "I'm always here for you"
