" Oh don't remind me" Tanya said

" Lauren! Wait up" Peter called
Lauren spun around. " I'm gonna be late" Lauren answered trying to get away
" School don't start for ages , we need to talk" Peter replied
" Look , it really does not matter , im over exaggerating" Lauren said
" Lauren , your a rubbish lier" Peter told her
" Please don't get involved in this" Lauren asked
" Get involved in what , just tell me" He pleaded with her
" It is nothing , im not your problem anymore" Lauren said taking a deep breath before walking away.
Jay walked over.
" Just forget about her. No chicks worth this hassle" Jay told him
" I can't , I know there is something wrong" Peter told him
" She said it's nothing" Jay replied
" Please I was with her for 2 years , I know when something is up" Peter replied
At The Branning's Dinner
" So Greg what do you do for a living , Any Criminal record?" Max asked
" Max!" Tanya said sternly
" No It's Fine , Im an accountant and no, no criminal record" Greg replied
It went silent
" Abi you have not brought the pets over yet" Max said
" I got rid of them" Abi replied quietly
" Why you love them" Max asked concerned
" She realized , she needed to grow up and could not keep keeping rodents in the house , didn't you Abi" Greg smiled
Abi burst into tears
" Abi don't" Lauren quickly tried to calm her
" I can't do this anymore Lauren , I can't" Abi said getting hysterical
" Abi , whats wrong , what happened" Max asked
" It's him" Abi replied looking at Greg
" Abi, stop!" Greg said
" Abi tell us" Max said
" He , He's been hitting us" She said looking to Lauren who looked emotionless
" He what! , Abi if this is some kind of joke it is not funny" Tanya said tears streaming down her eyes
" Yeah cause she is gonna joke about something like that!" Lauren screamed
" Tanya please it is all a misunderstanding" Greg lied
" A MISUNDERSTANDING!" Max screamed. Greg walked out and Max angrily followed him followed By Tanya who was consoling Abi but Lauren ran upto to her room.
" What kind of a man are you" Max screamed before punching him twice until Jack ran over
" Max stop! , whats wrong" He said holding back his brother
" He , that pathetic excuse for a man has been abusing my kids" Max screamed and the sound of gossiping from the square started.
Jack felt the anger boil in him too but tried to stay calm for his family and Greg ran off.
" The police are on there way" Tanya said in floods of tears while hugging Abi who was also crying.
When the police arrived
" Now Abi your being very brave but can you tell us was it hitting and emotional abuse? Did it go further" The police asked Abi who was sitting with her distraught parents
" No it never got to rape or anything like that .. I think the worse was Lauren's burn" Abi said in tears
" Burn" Max asked

" Omg" Tanya said
" Right thanks Abi … can you get Lauren for us please" The police man asked

" Omg, you have not heard" Jay said gobsmacked
" Heard what , what happened" Peter asked
Jay told Peter everything.
" Omg" Peter said sitting down with the shock
" I thought you knew" Jay said
Peter walked off.
