Ch9-Could't Think Of A Title, Sorry

Victor knocked on the door and heart Maddie mumble. "Abandon all hope ye who enter here" Victor laughed and opened the door. "Hey Mads" Maddie looked up and him and smiled a little. "Hey!" She sat up on her bed and he sat next to her.

"You're mom told me what happened this morning" Maddie's smile fell and she said. "Oh" "Why'd you get in a fight with that girl?" Maddie sniffed "She started it" Maddie said defensively. "I don't care who started it, I want to know why" Maddie slung her legs over the edge of her bed and said. "She was making fun of me cause I don't have a dad" Victor's mouth dropped open as Maddie continued. "She called me a daughter of a whore"

"Who did?" Maddie shrugged. "Her name was Nicole Black" Victor hugged Maddie and said. "Don't worry about it Maddie, People like that, they don't matter" Maddie just shrugged she slim shoulders. "Well, are you going to marry Ally?"

Victor opened his mouth to say something. "Maddie, you can't just ask me that" Maddie examined his strong face. "Why not?" Victor began to fidget, "Well because it's complicated" Victor picked up a baseball and began to toss it, not knowing what else to do with his hands. "If you don't want to because of me that's fine" She said and looked out the window. "No!" Victor said and came to her side. "You're great Maddie, it's just that people can't just get married like that, it takes a long time" Maddie sighed and said. "Well you've been here for a month, is that long enough?"

Victor laughed and ruffled Maddie's blonde hair.

Downstairs Larry was regarding Ally with a cold detachment. "So how long have you been married?" He asked her. Ally jolted and looked at him.

"Excuse me?" Larry sneered. "You know married? As to Vincent or whatever his name is" "Victor" "Yeah whatever" Ally almost laughed, but could tell Larry was serious with her. "Um, Victor and I aren't married" When Larry just stared at her she, said. "He's the plumber," Larry laughed coldly. "That's a good one" Ally just glared at him.

Victor came down the stairs but saw that Larry and Ally were about to snap each others heads off so he said. "Ally, we need to talk later. I'm going to take Maddie's puppy upstairs to her if that's alright" Ally turned to him and smiled. "Sure Victor, I'll come with you" She turned back to Larry and directed his eyes to the door with hers.
