Mark stormed into the stables looking for Kayla. She was repairing a shoe on Blackie.
"Kayla get over here!" Mark yelled.
Kayla figured Cindy went crying to Mark making it sound like all her fault.
Kayla set Blackie's foot back down and walked over to Mark.
Mark grabbed her and shook her.
"What the hell were ya thinking?" Mark yelled.
"I only hit her once Mark." Kayla said scared because Mark seemed so angry.
"Bull shit Kayla I seen what ya did to her, and Amber told me ya attacked her for no reason!" Mark shouted.
Mark's grip on her arms was hurting. She was going to defend her self but what was the point, Cindy had a witness and she didn't. She just stood there. If he was going to believe those two let him.
"I really should fire your ass Kayla, but hell ya don't have any where to go; I can't do that out of respect for your daddy." Mark said.
"When I calm down, I'm going to bust your ass good, but right now I'm too mad. You promised me you would try to get along with her and as soon as my back is turned ya beat the living hell out of her." Mark said angrily.
Kayla looked up at him heartbroken. It wasn't that threatened to hit her, it was the fact he didn't believe her and wouldn't even listen to her side of the story.
"I hit her once Mark, cause her and Amber jumped me, I hit her to get her off of me and I walked away, I don't know what happened after I left, that's the truth." Kayla said with tears in her eyes.
Mark's temper was still hot. He didn't like the fact she was lying to him. He almost softened when he seen the tears in her eyes. But then he remembered what Cindy had looked like.
"I'll be down to talk to you later, and it will go a lot easier on you if ya tell the truth." Mark said.
Kayla watched Mark turn and walk away. She ran up to her room crying. She couldn't believe he wouldn't even listen to her side of the story.
Mark walked in the back door. He wanted to get a beer, he needed one. He grabbed a beer and headed into the living room to see if Cindy was okay. He stopped, he heard Amber and Cindy talking.
"Do you think he will believe her?" Amber asked.
"No the little brat has a temper, he knows that. Beside there's two of us just make sure we stick to the same story. He sees how I look. How is he going to know you did it?" Cindy said laughing.
Mark's temper boiled over at that point.
Mark stormed in the room.
"Ya lying bitch, I should beat yer ass again!" Mark yelled.
"Now Markie calm down." Cindy said.
"If ya call me that one more time I'm going to do something you'll regret." Mark threatened.
"You both got 5 minutes to pack your shit; I'm taking ya to the airport." Mark said.
"But Mark…" Cindy began.
"NOW!" Mark yelled and watched as the two women scurried out of the room.
Mark sat down hard and sipped his beer. Now how the hell was he going to make this up to Kayla he had misjudged her badly, broke her heart by not believing her. She would probably never speak to him again.
