Thank you all for the lovely reviews. They really keep me going! I am
trying to be more patient about getting reviews, but it really helps when I
know that someone is reading my stuff. So, without further ado, here comes
chapter 9!
***
Randolph caught Betty before she hit the floor. He carefully and quickly picked her up and lay her on the bed. He got a cold washcloth and laid it on her forehead, then called his brother.
"Hello?" said a voice through the receiver.
"Roger, this is Randolph. I told Betty that Rosy O's went bankrupt and she just fainted."
"We're on our way."

Randolph met up with Roger and his wife outside his apartment door. Roger's wife went first to revive Betty, leaving the twins alone and worried. "What am I going to do?" Randolph asked Roger, his voice shaking.
"I suppose," Roger said seriously and slowly, "that you could live with us until you can find another job."
"Not that, it's just that-"
"What?"
"Well, everything seems to happen to me. I'm afraid I'll never make it in life."
Roger stood in silence for a while. "You will make it, you just wait. You've hit a snag, that's all. One day everything will come out right."
"I hope you're right, bud. I really do."
*
Betty had revived and requested to speak alone with Randolph. He sat shakily as Betty told him she didn't love him anymore.
Randolph nodded silently as tears welled up in his eyes.
"It's not you," said Betty, seeing his sadness, "it's just that, I feel that I was rushed into this relationship. I really never felt that I loved you."
Randolph looked up at her, anger brewing inside of him. He stood quickly and slapped her. She fell to the ground. There was dead silence in the room. He could see tears in her eyes. He stared at his hand with disbelief, and he stumbled out of the room.
