Outtakes Part 26:
2008: Fight

--------------------

The night was short for Prue. The girls fell asleep eventually, but suddenly their worriedness and sacredness was on her. It was about 6 when she carefully peeled herself out of bed, trying not to wake one of the girls. Finally done she went downstairs into the kitchen, where she made herself some coffee. She starred into nothing, lost in her thoughts, sipping on her coffee for endless an endless hour. She heard someone come down the stairs in a hurry.
"Morning! I'm just gonna grab a coffee and head out, I'm late"
Andy babbled, not looking at his wife, not kissing her, not pecking her, not paying any other attention to her presence
"where were you last night?"
Prue asked coldly, not shifting her view
"it... it was a busy night... and then the elders called..."
"the crime in San Francisco really must have gone up..."
Prue commented in the same cold voice.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Prue blinked and then looked up at him
"that is supposed to mean, that when you go to work now, you can also take your stuff along..."
"what!"
he asked incredulously. Prue got up and put her empty mug into the sink
"I don't care what you're doing with me... I don't care... if you don't love me anymore... I don't care when you treat me like shit... because I know that already form the time I was with Rodger... but I won't let you hurt MY daughters. If you wanna leave... then leave... but don't make them suffer any longer than it has to be..."
Prue said. She knew how it was with her mom and dad. She knew how much it as hurting her and her sisters when Victor left and/or her parents split.
"What are you talking about? And how am I hurting OUR daughters?"
he asked irritated, placing his work case on a chair
"they think... you don't love them any more... that you are going to leave us, because of that... and... As much as I'd like to tell them, that this is ridiculous... I can't... because I'm feeling the same."
Andy laughed.
"Are you kidding me? Can't you and they once, just once... mind what I need? I have busy workdays, yes... and I told you it was work... are we now in the departure of me betraying you again... like we were when you were pregnant with Anna? Is that it... are you pregnant? Cause you sure as hell are moody enough!"
a tear slipped from Prue's eye
"of what am I supposed to be pregnant, huh! looks? The looks which aren't there... cause you aren't here... and when you are, you're ignoring me! From kisses? Which fucking kisses... cause you seriously haven't kissed me in a month... therefore I could bet my ass away for! Ooor maybe from the damn last time, my dearest husband had the grace to fuck me months ago!"
"me, me, me, are you even listening to yourself!"
Andy yelled back. Prue shook her head
"keep your fucking voice down... cause I swear... if one of the girls hears one single word you are saying here, you are a dead man"
Prue told him a dead serious voice. Andy starred at her for a second
"what are you? Desperate housewife?"
"desperate? Yes... I'm desperate... because my husband is behaving more than off... and I have no idea why... and don't tell me it's work... I know it's not! Darryl called last night, asking if you were feeling better! Last night... Lily came to me... screaming... completely worked up, completely devastated... cause she had a nightmare! Guess what... she's not the only one! YOUR children... how you seriously said a few minutes ago... think you don't love them! They think you are going to leave them! And that has got nothing to do with me... seriously not! I didn't say one single word ever since this started... because I seriously WANTED to be believe you. But now... it's a whole other story! This is about your children... you even remember their names!"
she asked him
"I don't have to listen to this right now. I don't have to let you insult me in such a way!"
Andy told her
"and I have to let you insult me!"
she asked him
"I never insulted you... and if insulting you to be away a lot to get money into the house..."
Prue laughed hysterically
"are you even listening to yourself? I told you before already... you lame excuse about work went poof... search for something new... maybe even something better"
"that's it... I'm gonna go... I'm already late..."
"don't you dare leave now"
"are you threatening me?"
"all I'm saying is, that if you leave the house, before I have a reasonable explanation about what's going on, then you don't have to come back. Because the locks will be changed, your stuff will lay in the backyard and the house will be magic proofed when you return. And I swear to god, that I mean this, Andy"
"like I said, I gotta go... I'll be home for dinner..."
Andy told her and with that grabbed his work case and left. Prue closed her eyes and a second later broke down completely. Crying into her hands after slipping to the floor. Yes, she seemed strong like lioness, but inside she was breaking down, and that not only since the girls came to her last night.
