thanks for the reviews
"Simon I thought you weren't coming home til September." Faith said keeping one eye on the back door.
"I was but I missed you so much I thought I'd make a quick surprise visit." Simon said walking over to Faith and kissing her.
"Simon." Faith said pushing him away.
"What? Alright I can see your upset or angry or PMS or something like that. I'll go but come over for dinner tonight won't you." Simon said pulling away from Faith.
"Um tonight I've got plans how about tomorrow?' Faith said quickly as she walked Simon over towards the back gate.
"Great tomorrow it is. I'll see you at 7." Simon said as he walked out the back and out to his car.
Faith fell back against the fence breathing out a sigh of relief.
"So are you going to tell me what that was all about?" Britney said walking over to Faith.
Faith was about to speak when she heard the back door open and Kate speaking.
"And that's our slide and the swings, and the sandbox." Kate said.
Faith walked back into the backyard to see John smiling and laughing as Kate and Greg broke into another fight about who could swing the highest.
John spotted Faith and walked over to her.
"Hey are you going to rescue me yet?' John asked wrapping his arms around Faith and pulling her in for a kiss.
"Ahem." Britney coughed causing the two to break apart.
"Um Britney this is John, John this is Britney." Faith said praying Britney would keep her mouth shut.
"Hi Britney Faith talks about you so much I feel like I already know you." John said extending his hand for her to shake.
"Well Faith never stops blabbing about you." Britney said shaking his hand.
Faith stood back as the two made small talk, then John's cell went off. As John walked back inside to take the call Britney turned straight to Faith.
"So that's why you didn't want Simon here. Did you just forget about him while you were gone?" Britney said.
"Honestly I don't know it was like I was in another world." Faith said.
"Well what are you going to do? You've been going out with Simon for 2 years he was just asking me if I thought it was the right time for him to propose to you."
"Britney honestly I don't have a clue and I seriously don't even want to think about it right now I'd rather do what I came here to do and think about all of this later." Faith said annoyed that she was going to have to make a decision.
Faith walked off back inside, she spotted Patrick playing with a puzzle on the floor.
"Hey buddy. What you doing?' Faith said bending down to be next to Patrick.
Patrick didn't say anything just kept going with the puzzle; Faith sat down next to him and just watched.
They sat together in silence for another 5 minutes until Patrick found a piece he couldn't make fit. Faith reached out for it, Patrick pulled away but then gave it back to Faith.
Faith turned the puzzle to face her and looked around till she saw the spot where it would fit she pointed to it and smiled at Patrick before placing the puzzle piece down.
Patrick grabbed the now finished puzzle and turned it upside down all of the pieces fell out onto the floor. Faith's smile disappeared.
Just as Faith was about to get up and walk away Patrick help up a piece to her and said. "Help please. We do together."
After re-doing the puzzle for the 3rd time Patrick looked up at Faith. He then stood up gave her a hug and said "Friends?"
"Of course we are." Faith said hugging him back.
"Faith you might want to get out here." Britney said poking her head around the wall.
Faith got up and walked outside holding hands with Patrick the minute she looked outside Faith felt like she had swallowed a brick wall.
There standing right in front of her was Simon and John shaking hands both looking pretty suspicious of the other.
Faith took a deep breath and walked over to both men.
"Simon what are you doing back I thought you left." Faith said as casually as she could.
"I forgot to give you my address for tomorrow." Simon said handing Faith a piece of paper.
Faith took the piece of paper and slipped it in her pocket; she then turned to look at John he was staring at Faith like she was an infectious disease.
"Nice meeting you." Simon said to John turning to walk away. Simon took two steps forward then turned around and walked straight back to Faith and kissed her passionately.
Faith pushed Simon away again and pointed for him to leave.
Faith kept her back towards John she didn't want to see his face.
John didn't know what to do he looked towards Britney but she just shrugged her shoulders and walked off towards the kids.
"Faith, he said he was your boyfriend. Is it true?" John said walking over to stand in front of Faith.
Faith just stood and stared, she didn't know what to say. Just the other day she went off at him for kissing Stacy and here she was with a boyfriend the whole time.
"Faith please just say something." John said he could see the emotion in her eyes. "Just tell me. I need to here it." He said the anger rising.
"It's true." Faith managed to get out before starting too cry.
John was furious but also felt bad he hated seeing Faith upset but she'd hurt him. John did the only thing he thought was best he turned and walked away.
The minute John had gone Britney ran up to Faith and pulled her inside.
3 boxes of Kleenexes later Faith left the children's home and began to drive back to Mark's house. She figured if she let John calm down she could talk to him tonight and explain everything to him.
Sophie watched from the window as Faith pulled up in front of the house and got out of car. Sophie quickly ran downstairs to greet Faith at the door.
"Faith, how are you? Oh sweetie you look like you've been crying what's wrong?" Sophie said putting on a smile and pretending to actually care.
"Sophie just leave me alone." Faith said walking past her.
Sophie wasn't going to give up she had a job to do, she ran up and blocked Faith's way.
"Move" Faith said strongly pushing Sophie aside.
"Faith Mark told me to be nice to you but it just isn't working is it?" Sophie yelled out after Faith.
"Obviously not" Faith yelled back slamming the door.
Sophie groaned. She was just as one minded as her dad but she wouldn't let that bother her it was time for plan B, The B standing for bitch.
"You know once I marry your dad I am so going to make sure that this little daddy daughter thing you've got going on finishes." Sophie yelled to the closed door.
Faith couldn't believe what she' heard she opened the door.
"What was that what little daddy daughter thing?"
"Oh don't tell me you don't know. I had Mark wrapped around my little finger way before you did."
Faith stood dumbfounded she couldn't believe it.
"You're just a little orphan bitch who didn't do anything with her life because she wanted to find her daddy."
Faith had had enough; she was just about to yell something back at Sophie when she felt the hard slap across her face.
"You little cow." Faith screamed as she tackled Sophie to the ground.
As Faith and Sophie rolled around on the floor each trying to get a good swing at the other they were both screaming insults to each other.
"Your just a little slut how many guys did you sleep with before Mark."
"Well at least I can say I have slept with more than one guy."
"At least I don't wear clothes that look like scrap material."
"And I know that when I have sex for guys it isn't just for money."
Faith felt Sophie yank her hair and she returned the favour. The position they were in now anyone would think that Faith was the one doing the entire attacking. Faith had pinned Sophie underneath her and has sitting on top of her waist.
"What the hell is going on here?' someone yelled out but Faith didn't look to see who it was she just slapped Sophie again.
Mark quickly grabbed Faith off of Sophie and handed her to Glenn.
"Here take her downstairs now!" Mark yelled at Glenn.
Faith gave up the struggle when she realised that she had been caught.
"I'd sit here and not move if I was you.' Glenn said putting Faith down on the couch.
After sitting in silence for a few minutes Faith realised she never got to see what Sophie had looked like sure they were just slapping each other put Faith had threw a few punches in as well.
"Listen before Mark gets down here I just wanted to say thankyou you have no idea how many people have been waiting to slap some sense into that girl." Glenn said smiling at Faith from across the room.
Faith smiled back at him.
"So was she banged up?" Faith asked.
"You got a few good shots in for a little thing like you." Glenn said.
"I'm not that little." Faith said standing up and walking over to Glenn.
"Little girl from where I stand you look pretty little." Glenn said standing up and laughing at the face Faith was making.
Faith laughed along with Glenn.
"Ahem." Mark coughed causing Faith to jump a mile which of course triggered Glenn to crack up even more.
"Glenn I'll she you later on." Mark said in a tone less voice.
Glenn looked from Mark to Faith took the hint and left waving good bye to Faith as he went.
"Mark I just want you to know I didn't." Faith began but was interrupted by Mark.
"I don't want to hear a word from you. I thought you and Sophie were getting along fine and then I come home to find you beating the hell out of her. I expected more of you Faith and what pisses me off even more of what you were saying I didn't know you could even think that about a person." Mark said
"Aren't you even going to let me explain?' Faith said.
"Why? What are you going to tell me that Sophie somehow bought it on when obviously that can't be the case look at you then look at her?" Mark said.
"This is such bull shit." Faith said going to walk away.
"Faith come back here I'm not done speaking with you." Mark yelled grabbing her arm.
"Mark did I just hear correct. To me it sounded like you've finally decided to be a father. What's next a stern lecture about safe sex or what about a curfew now there' something I've never experienced. Hmm I wonder why? Oh yeah now I know cause you were never there." Faith said bitterly.
Faith looked Mark dead in the eye, she wasn't backing down this time not when he was going to side with his little girlfriend.
"Faith I'm here now aren't I I'm trying that's the best I can do. I'm sorry I wasn't there how many times do I have to say it I thought by now you would have gotten over it but obviously not. If you are that annoyed maybe you should just leave." Mark yelled at Faith. The minute he saw the emotion in her eyes he wished he hadn't but.
Faith was shocked but still angry. "I guess you were right when you said you'd never leave me again you just forgot to mention that you'd make me leave." Faith said pulling her arm free and walking out the front door.
Mark stood in the middle of the room part of him wanting to run after Faith the other telling him to forget about it.
Sophie waited five seconds until she moved from the stairs and over to Mark. She saw he was still most probably in shock. She just took him by the hand and led him upstairs to their bedroom unbuttoning her shirt as she went.
A/N: Okay there you have it and I am so SORRY that it took this long to update I was swamped with school work, assignments, exams plus I just got a new job so I haven't had time to sit down for awhile. Oh and that is just the start if the Sophie bashing there is more to come. Alright so please review it will make me jump for joy :-)
