"Kyle I really hope you will learn something from all this an from her." said Kyle's mom
"I think I have." said Kyle letting out a long sigh
"Hey Kyle." I'm Dr. Kelly." How are you?" putting out her hand
"Fine I guess." shaking her hand as he took a seat on the couch.
"Would you like your parents to come with you? asked Dr. Kelly
"In a minute I want to talk to you alone first."
"Okay." closing her office door behind her "So Ms. Hodge told me what you did." You want to tell me why you did it."
"I just...(Sighs) well the reason I did it was because they would always pick on me and Ms. Hodge I just don't like her cause she punishes me."
"I see.." , but Kyle writing on the school walls, spray painting lockers, and tripping a girl in gym class." that's not a way to get out anger."
"Yeah." I see that now with the girl I tripped." I really hurt her bad." I told her I was sorry but didn t seem to help."
"Well..." sometimes it takes more than to say I'm sorry." Here's a writing pad I want you to write a letter to me on how you feel an bring it back to me tomorrow."
"Okay. Thanks for listening to me." said Kyle smiling
"It's my job." smiled Dr. Kelly walking him out
"Kyra you re not going to believe this, but Ms. Hodge sent Kyle to therapy." said Amber on the phone.
"What?" How did you find out?"
"I kind of eased dropped on Ms. Hodge talking to him."
"Amber that's not nice to listen to someone's conversation."
"I know but I was dying to know what he was going to get." Listen I have to go my mom is calling me for dinner."
"Okay." Bye." (hangs up phone)
Reba knocks on Kyra's bedroom door. "Kyra?"
"Yes mother?"
"How you feeling?" asked Reba walking in taking a seat on the edge of her bed.
"Better." I can't believe I'm using this but I'll be glad to get back to school."
"You sure your not running a fever?" (laughing) as she touches her forehead
"No." I'm just tired of sitting in bed all day."
"I'm sorry but you need to rest." Oh here's your classwork." Stacy came by an brought it."
"Can you send it back to her." looking at her work
"Kyra!"
"Just kidding."
"I'll bring your supper up shortly." walking out of her room.
"Okay." said Kyra as her mom closed the door behind her.
"Reba you can't sue me!" Please don't do this!" whined Barbra Jean walking through the back door.
"Oh but I can and I will." you can't stop me." grabbing a bag of frozen peas out of the fridge.
"You won't let me give you money so what is it going to take to get you to call off this lawsuit?" taking a seat at the island.
"For you to start respecting me a little more like knocking before you come through my house, and calling me when you re coming over here so I can change the locks." smiled Reba
"okay your right I haven't been respecting you for ruining your marriage." said Barbra Jean
"Whatever Barbra Jean." I've heard that before and I really don't think you do." You know ever since I introduced you to Brock it was like you two already knew each other."
"What?" Reba I didn t know him till you introduced me to him." I promise you that."
"Okay." I believe you, but let me ask you something why did you fall in love with him?"
(Sighs) "I told you why." I was coming out of a rough marriage Reba an trust me it wasn't pretty."
"What do you mean?"
"I wasn't safe with him." He wouldn't let me go anywhere except work." Everytime I got paid I would have to give him the check so he could buy his beer an lottery tickets." He always had everything an whatever he had left he would give me but it would only be like forty dollars an I had to buy what he wanted." wiping tears from her eyes.
"I'm sorry to hear that Barbra Jean." I had no idea."
"It's okay Reba you didn t know and I'm sorry for what I put you through."
(sighs)"It's alright." come to think of it I don't think me an Brock would have lasted long." throwing her dish towel in the sink.
"What do you mean?" Did he ever hurt you?"
"No." It's just everytime I wanted to get close to him you know passionate." He would not be in the mood or would be so tired from work he didn't make time." taking a seat at the kitchen table.
"I know what you mean." He's been doing that with me ever since we had Henry." joining Reba
"What's his excuse with you?" asked Reba taking a sip of her water.
"That I'm tired and have a big golf game the next day." Worst of all telling me he has a business trip and I find out he's at a hotel."
"What?" Hotel?" looking shocked
"Yeah, but he says his not with another woman I don't believe him." sipping her coffee
"Hey Barbra Jean." Henry won't let me give him his bath." He's hiding under his bed again." said Brock walking through the back door
"Brock why do you expect me to do everything for our son?" snapped Barbra Jean getting up from her chair
"What are you talking about?" I do plenty for my son." I feed him, play hide an seek with him, and get him ready every morning for daycare."
"No you don't!" I do all that!" I'm the one who gets him ready for daycare, baths him, plays hide an seek, and tucks him in at night with a bedtime story!"
"Your right I need to do more with Henry."
"You know Brock, Reba is right you are the most hard headed jackass that has ever walked the earth!"
storming out the back door.
"Reba." What did you say to her?"
"Nothing." I don't know what got her upset." Why don't you go ask her what's wrong." I'm done helping you two." walking out of the kitchen
(sighs) walking out the back door.
