Kerry

This day has been so much harder than I thought, why do I still feel like this towards Smithy. Seeing him with Amanda hurts so much, I thought feelings I am feeling would never occur in this way again. I've got Jack that's enough, isn't it.

Smithy

Everything was going fine between me and Amanda and now Kerry's back my feelings for her have returned, I like Amanda but is that enough? She doesn't have the same effect on me as Kerry, why did she have to come back and throw me straight back to square one again.

It was six o'clock and most people were knocking off from their shift, slowly they went to get changed into their civvies. The girls changing room was full of gossip, gossip about someone in particular.

"Anyway I asked her if I could see her little boy and she totally freaked out on me, and when I asked what was wrong she clammed up. I was only being nice but the stupid cow can stuff it." Amanda proclaimed,

"Her little boy, she's got a child," Honey asked,

"Yeah poor thing fancy having that for a mother, he looks about three "She snarled,

Honey and Yvonne looked at each other in amazement, Three! They stood still trying to work out whom the dad was, but Kerry was involved with so many people it was hard to tell.

At the other side of the lockers she curled up resting against the lockers, tears streaming from her eyes. 'I've changed' she said inside her head, but it seemed that the dark cloud that hang over her head would stay some time before it went.

Hearing the door slammed confirmed that they had left the locker room, the pain hurt more than ever, all she wanted was to feel his arms around her holding her tight but that wouldn't happen. Everyone had probably left for the pub and it was just her, no one that she knew before had talked to her only the people whom she had not met. Although she as a person had changed, their judgement of her had not, all she wanted was a friend or two someone whom she could have a proper conversation with. For the past few years Jack was her only companion and she missed the happiness of her friends, now she had responsibility they didn't really socialise anymore.

Picking herself up from the floor she walked over to the mirror, her tear stained face became all red and puffy and she thought it best to compose herself before leaving.

On the way home she had to collect Jack from her dads, he was fast asleep and managed to entwine himself in his mother's arms. She did not stay long at her dads, as she knew the time would be filled with questions about her day and she could not face that. Arriving home she gently placed the little boy on the sofa while she made herself dinner. Walking back into the lounge she heard a noise, and so did Jack as he alertly rose and looked towards the direction of the door. Ruffling his hair Kerry walked over to the door, opening it she found a tall dark haired man standing there.
