Chapter 2-Arguments and the Party

The arguing carried on for months, as slowly they found themselves frustrated with each other all the time. Both of them worrying their marriage was breaking down. With so many screaming matches, that was sending everyone crazy, Kirsty was so happy that she was going out to a party for the first time in so long. Kane wasn't happy about it, but he didn't have much of a hold over his wife. He was left holding the baby as Kirsty tagged along with Dani and Hayley to a party being held at one of their friend's houses. It felt so good to finally let her hair down and be a normal teenager, almost forgetting being a mother and wife.

After a lot to drink, Kirsty found herself alone as Dani and Hayley had disappeared somewhere. Her beauty grabbed the attention of quite a few guys, unaware of her attachments. She'd dismissed them automatically but after a while, and after a few too many drinks, she found herself talking to someone. Kirsty listened intently to Chester talk about the course he was taking at university, and what he planned to do with his future.

"God listen to me talk about myself, you haven't told me anything about you. What course are you taking?" Chester asked.

"I'm not, I'm here with my sister, she's the one at uni."

"Oh right, have you left school then?"

"Yeah, I'm not one for studying."

"Well that's cool, I bet its nice being free from all that." Chester said, thinking Kirsty was just a normal teen free from the stresses of school.

"It's OK." Kirsty didn't want to tell him what her life was actually like. It didn't matter. She was interrupted anyway by her phone ringing. It was a text from Kane.

When r u gettin bak? Gettin l8. Wil b in bed dont wake me up. Liv fine. K.

"Boyfriend?" Chester asked, guessing Kirsty had a boyfriend checking up on her.

"No, it's no-one." Kirsty lied, not wanting to let Chester think she wasn't single. She wasn't sure why, but it seemed fun to be single again.

"Here let me get you another drink."

"No it's OK; I should go and find my sister."

"Alright then."

"It's been nice talking to you."

"Yeah you too."

Kirsty turned to go, but Chester grabbed her arm, turned her around and kissed her. Dani saw across the room, she was shocked especially as Kirsty didn't stop him. They separated and Kirsty smiled and walked off, knowing what she'd done was wrong but not caring. When she met up with Dani, neither of them said anything. Kirsty didn't know Dani had seen her and Dani didn't want to ask her about it that night, she could see Kirsty was drunk.

"I think I'm gonna have to go Dani, I just got a text from Kane. He's gonna get pissed at me if I'm too late back."

"OK, let me go find Hayley and we'll go."
