"Whats wrong with her" Glenda said looking at the young girl at the bottom of the stairs.
"She is drunk" Roxy said bending down and taking a better look at Abi.
"I had better ring her Father" Glenda said walking over to the land line in the living room.
"No don't do that" Alex said grabbing her Mother by the arm "I mean you will get her into trouble, Why don't we try and sobber her up"
"She needs her Family Darling" Glenda said reaching in her bag for her address book, "I think Max's number is in here"
Glenda found the Number in her address book and dialed Max's number, "Hello Max, Its Glenda, Abi has turned up here very Drunk can you come and pick her up Please"
Alex sat down and put her head in her hands starting to think how she was going to get herself out of trouble, never mind about Abi.
The buzzer went again and Roxy let a confussed Max and Lauren in, Lauren began to Giggle at the sight of Abi completley out of it.
"What the hell is going on here, Max screamed at Glenda, Just because you let your own kid do what ever she wants, don't think you can do it with mine"
"I beg your pardon" Glenda said looking strange at Max "I didn't give her the booze"
"You were suposed to be looking after her" Max said "My nephew as just drank himself to death and you sit back and allow my fourteen year old Daughter to get wasted"
"Max, Mum never gave Abi alcohol, Zak as just brought Abi here in this state" Roxy said trying to make sence of this strange situration.
"Zak, But Abi was supposed to be spending the Night here with Alex" Max said looking down at his Daughter who was babbling on the floor.
"No" Glenda said "I don't even know why Zak brought her here" Thoughts of what Alex said about wanting to stay over Abi's rang into Glenda's mind.
"Alexandra, You come her this instant" Glenda shouted Alexandra out of the livingroom onto the landing.
"Whats this about Abi coming to stay here" Glenda asked firmley.
Alexandra looked down at her Friend and then up at Max and Then over at her Mother who was standing with her hands on her hips looking very cross.
"Well she said she might pop over" Alex said shrugging her shoulders.
"Do you know where she as been until this time" Max said looking at Alex "Why as she been with this Zak"
"No, I don't know, I don't have anything to do with Zak" Alex said starting to fidget a little.
"I am waisting my Time here, with you lot, I am going to take her to the hospital, I am not taking any chances" Max looked at Alex and shouted "Everytime my Daughter goes near you she ends up in trouble"
"Well I hardley think thats fair" Glenda Protested "Its not my Daughter who is drunk out of her mind"
Max picked Abi up "Yeah well from now on Keep your Daughter away from mine" Max shouted at Glenda and then turned to look at Alex "Understand"
Max carried Abi out who seemed to becoming more aware of her surroundings and shouted out "Cover for me Alex, You promised" Lauren slammed the door as they left.
Alex closed her eyes and them turned towards her Mother,
"What the hell is going on Alexandra" Glenda said looking down at her Daughter.
"I don't know" Alex said "Like you said its not me that is Drunk.
"Don't you think I have forgot about you wanting to stay over at Abi's tonight, What were yo going to do go on a drinking spee" Glenda said putting her hand up to her forehead, For god Sake Aklex you are on strong medication, it would have killed you.
"No Of cause not, I didn't know anthing about drinking alcohol, Abi must have decided to go out with Zak after I said I couldn't stay over " Alex Protested.
"Yeah right, Roxy said with a giggle "I think someone needs a smacked Arse Mum"
"Shut up you" Alex Snaped her Sister.
"You had better think yourself Lucky your already injured Missy, Or you would be getting a big Smack right now" Glenda Said wagging her Finger at Alex "After everything I told you about not getting involved with Zak.
"Oh yeah I feel really Lucky" Alex Shouted back at her Mother as she stormed off into the bedroom and slammed her door.
Later that evening when Glenda was getting ready to came to bed, Alex was already in her bed but was still awake. When Glenda came into the bedroom Alexandra turned her back on her mother and faced the wall.
"Glenda went over and sat on Alexandra's bed.
"I am sorry about saying you were Lucky to have your injurys sweetheart, I didn't mean it to sound the way it came out. I was cross with you" Glenda said Rubbing Alexandra's back.
Alex turned around and Sat up, "You said you would have Hit me, Just like Charlie did" Alex said feeling angry with her Mother. "You are supposed to love me"
"I do love you Darling, You have to be punished when you step out of line Alexandra, Aand being left with a red Bottom is hardley the same as a fractured skull or a broken arm is it" Glenda said Kissing her Daughter on the forehead.
"I sorry Mum" Aex said giving Glenda a cuddle.
"Look if you need me in the night, wake me, Thats What I am here for, ok" Glenda said tucking Alex in her bed.
