Chapter number 2. Confessions of the past

Martha didn't sleep well for the rest of the night, she was to busy trying to figure out what that dream ment. Jack? tomorrow's wedding? An wedding bell? A million dollar check? How did that all fit together? Was Jack getting married? But if it was his wedding then why was it one of Sasha's highest priorities, it's not like Jack was a millionaire, he was just a cop, a really good cop, but being a good cop or not didn't mean much more pay. These thoughts ran through Martha's mind over and over again while she dosed off to sleep again, she didn't have anymore dreams that night.

"Time to get up girls, it's seven thirty and we've got a lot of preparing to do" Sasha announced to the room of girls that were all asleep, and turned the light on.

"Morning" Rose said sitting up and facing Martha.

"Morning" Martha groaned back rolling over.

"Come on you've got to get up" Rose told her standing up and reaching out her hand to help Martha out of bed. Martha happily took her hand and sat up placing her feet on the wooden unpolished floor of the room. "I'm guessing you didn't sleep very well last night?"

"Is it really that obvious?"

"Yeap" Rose replied smiling before they both headed out to the kitchen for breakfast. "So I wonder who's wedding were catering for today" Rose said as they sat down to eat.

"Didn't you two here?" Yasmin asked turning around form talking to one of the other women.

"No" Martha and Rose both said at the same time.

"A millionaire's having his wedding here".

"Wow" Martha commented. "No wonder Sasha's been particularly careful about this one".

"Yeah, I know she's been fussing over every little detail with the decorating since five this morning" Yasmin told them.

Then it all clicked in Martha's head and she remembered the dream she had last night. "Um, did Sasha by any chance say who's wedding it was?" Martha asked curiously.

"Um yeah she did. It was someone i can't remember their first name, um someone Holden". Martha paused for a minute, oh no what if it's Jack, she couldn't handle watching that happen.

"Earth to Martha" Rose said waving her hand in front of her face.

"Oh, sorry what was that?"

"Martha what's wrong?" Rose asked.

"Ah nothing. Anyway did she say who the bride was?"

"Yeah, it was Matilda Hunter" Yasmin answered before turning back to the woman she had been talking to before.

"Martha I know somethings wrong" Rose interrupted her thoughts.

Martha sighed "Look it's a long story".

"Well I like long stories, remember".

"Yeah I remember. Before I ended up on the streets My boyfriend's name was Jack Holden".

"Oh Martha I'm sorry" Rose said very sympathetically.

"No you don't need to be sorry, he's got his life which doesn't involve me any more".

"Do you know Matilda?"

"Yeah all to well" Martha said stairing of into the thin air ahead, her eyes watering with sadness. "She was Jack's little brothers girlfriend".

"Well maybe it's not jack's wedding then".

"I doubt it" Martha answered, not making the answer clear to Rose.

"What do you mean you doubt it?"

Martha took in a deep breath and began to talk again, this time looking at Rose instead of stairing ahead. "Before I ran away, I walked in on Jack and Maddie kissing".

"Oh I'm sorry".

"Don't be, he's the one that should be sorry, and her".

"So was that why you ran away?" Rose asked.

"Partly, there was a bigger reason, one I still don't know the truth about..."

Next time:

What is Martha about to tell Rose about why she ran away?

Is it Jack's wedding or Lucas'?
