"that's it im calling the police" I heard John say as he came through the door with his father, so much for my husband trying to calm him down

"why what's going on?"

"She's walking around out there like nothing's happened" he said pointing back behind himself

"no no don't do that" Kim said from her position on the couch

"no, my dad's right they should know she shouldn't be allowed on the streets she's dangerous"

"i don't want them involved"

"im not having her walking around being a constant reminder of what she's done"

"john I don't want you to do it" she raised her voice at him "ok?... listen, im under enough stress as it is, I don't want the police snooping around putting me under more stress and if it goes to court it'll be hanging over us for a lot longer, I just want to move on with my life"

"maybe your right" he said sitting down "she needs telling though"


I opened my hotel room door and sighed "if you've come to have a go, don't, because I don't think I can take much more"

"ok then why are you coming around to my hotel room shouting at my grieving fiancée"

"i went around to ask her why she lied and now I know, it's to get me out the picture so she can reign you in for good, John, listen to me" I looked him in the eyes "i did not push her, you know how I feel about children, I would never do anything to harm one"

"yeah well you've got her to thank that we haven't got the police involved"

"Well of course she doesn't want the police involved, they'll know she's lying"

"look just stay away! From her from me from my family"

"i do work in the same place John I will see them"

"yeah well we don't associate with child murders so we'll stay clear don't you worry about that"

"how can you believe her?"

"mickie, ill never believe you so drop it, it's over, me you the lot, for good" he pulled my door open and left slamming it shut behind him


I pulled my door open and stood there was my sister, with everything going on I totally forgot she was due to come on the road with me for a little while.

"are you ok?" she asked coming in closing the door

"haven't you heard, yeah um, your looking at a child killer"

"what?" she asked me

"kim's saying that I pushed her down the stairs and that I caused her to miscarry her baby" I began crying once again "and, John believes her" I moved to sit on the couch "he thinks that I could do that"

"well I dont" my sister said to me "do you want me to deal with her?" she was always feisty my little sister

"um, no, beating up a grieving mother isn't really going to win me back the sympathy vote" I rubbed my eyes dry

"john's just upset, once he thinks about it"

"no" I shook my head at her "no, he's never going to believe me"

"well If he's stupid enough to believe kim's lies then it's his luck out" I heard her sigh "im not standing here while she does this"

"nicki wait" I ran after her
