The next morning Lucy and
Simon still continued to arguing and Ruthie didn't say much of anything.
Annie: Simon, if you need anything just call o.k.
Simon: O.K.
after school**********************************************************
after school Simon slowly walked over to his dad's. He did not like the area
but didn't really have a choice but to walk trough it. All of the sudden he
heard a noise behind him. Before he knew it he had been knocked to the ground.
He tossed his fists into the air hitting whoever he could. But he took way more
punches then he gave out. The gang around him demanded to have his wallet. He
reached into his back pocket pulled out his wallet and gave it to the guys.
After Simon handed the
guys his wallet they ran off. He decided to walk back to his mom's. He was mad
at his dad for making him have to live their. He wondered if his dad expected
him to get robbed every day or what.
a few minutes later at Annie's house*********************************
Annie heard the door open and she went to check who it was. She walked over to
the porch and saw Simon heading up the stairs.
Annie: Arn't you supposed to be at your fathers.
Simon: Supposed to be. I'm not gonna get robbed every time I go their.
Annie: They robbed you.
Simon: Yes they did.
Annie: O.k. you can stay here for now but you should call your father and let
him know where he is.
**********************************************************************
Lucy and Ruthie walk into the front door.
Annie: How was school.
Ruthie did not respond she walked upstairs without saying a word.
Lucy: Fine I guess.
Lucy went upstairs. She walked past Simon's room and saw Simon sitting on his
bed. She walked into his room.
Lucy: Did dad finally have enough of your not respecting him.
Simon: No for your information I got robbed and I don't feel like getting
robbed again.
Lucy: Well it wouldn't be very hard to rob you.
Simon: Lucy get out. (he yelled )
Lucy: Okay Okay.
She walked out of his room and into her own.
meanwhile*************************************************************
Annie walks up the stairs to tell Simon that his wallet was found on a nearby
side walk. But as she walks up she hears Ruthie crying in her room. She walks
into Ruthie's room to see what's wrong.
Annie: Is this all about your father
and I getting a divorice.
Ruthie: I just don't see how two people can love each other enough to get
married and then hate each other enough to get divoriced.
Annie: Ruthie your father and I still love each other. We just think that it
would be better if we lived separetly because we fight a lot. That way you kids
would not have to here us fight.
Ruthie: Okay I guess
Annie:. And you can still talk to me or your father at any time you want Okay .
Ruthie: Okay.
Annie left Ruthie's room and walked into Simon's room.
Annie: They found your wallet she said setting it on his dresser. Simon, don't
be mad at your father. It was not his fault that we got a divorice. We made
that decision together.
Later on that evening Annie and Eric made plans to go out for supper togeather.
Matt agreed to come over and watch the twins and Ruthie. Simon was going out
with his friends to watch some movies and Lucy had a date with Mike.
**********************************************************************
Eric picked Annie up at the house and they went to a nearby restraunt. Once
they sat down at a table and ordered Eric said.
Eric: I think we made a big mistake. I was wrong to let Simon walk to my
apartment in that area. He's ok right.
Annie: ya he's fine. I don't think Ruthie is very Okay with this whole divorice
thing. I found her crying in her room about it.
Eric: Ya and Simon and Lucy are constintly arguing about it. we should not be
tearing them apart.
They talked for a while and decided that they were going to get back togeather
for their kids sake. They went back to Eric's apartment so that Eric could
cancel his rent and they would grab the rest of Simon's stuff while they were
their.
meanwhile*************************************************************
Simon and Lucy arrived home around the same time as eac hother and minutes
later Eric and Annie arrived home. When Simon saw Eric walk into the house he
went to get his jacket.
Eric: Where are you going

Eric: No and neither am I.
Annie: Your father and I have decided that we are going to move back in
togeather. Simon your stuff is in the trunk of the vehical.
