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.
