Gaynor returned and Roxy and Alex went to the park to eat there lunch it was a cold but dry October day, but Alex appreciated being out in the fresh air, the sisters sat on the picnic bench, Roxy had a coffee and brought Alex a hot Chocolate from the little wooden shop on the park.
"So have you figured out what your gonna put in your statement to the police yet" Roxy asked.
Alex shrugged her shoulders and started picking at her lunch that Glenda had packed for her, "the truth, I guess" Alex said after a while.
"You know Me, Mum and Ronnie, we might be short tempered with you, and shout and yell at you sometimes, but When you were hurt we were all devastated" Roxy Said reaching out and touching Alexandra's hand.
"Urr Yuck don't get all soppy" Alex said trying to make light of the situration, "Anyway Ronnie doesn't shout at me, And I can handle you and Mum anyway"
"You want to bet" Roxy said "You know tomorrow, Do you want me to come with you and Mum to the police station" Roxy said.
"If you want" Alex said Shrugging her shoulders not wanting Roxy to know how much she was dreading the following day.
Alex ate a small amount of Lunch and emptied the rest of the contents from her Lunch box in the Bin.
On the way back to the salon, Alexandra giggled to herself thinking of what might be happening at the salon and started to wonder if any old womens hair had fallen out or something.
"You won't be giggleing when Mum finds out you didn't eat your Lunch" Roxy said "It will be nag nag nag"
As Alex and Roxy walked back in to the salon to Alexandra's suprise all was well and calm, Roxy sat at the desk while Jodie went on her break and Alex picked up a magazine to read contemplating a long boring afternoon with nothing to do. Gaynor was upstairs doing Pat Evan's Hair.
Roxy began to file her nails it was a quiet afternnon in the Salon which was just as well. As all of a sudden the silence was broken.
"What the hell have you done" Pat screamed from the upstairs treatment room "you stupid girl, Its green"
Roxy dropped her nail file and ran upstairs, to her horroh Pat was stood up waving her arms about her hair which was ussually Blond and shiney, was hanging limp and had a green tinge to it.
"What happened" Roxy said looking shocked.
At that moment Jodie came back from her Break followed by Glenda who had finished her shift and had the afternoon off of work.
"Is time to go home Mum" Alex said smiling at Glenda and taking her by the hand trying to pull her Mum out of the salon.
"Yes Darling, In a minute, What on earth is going on up their" Glenda said pointing up at the raised voices coming from upstairs.
Up stairs, Pat was very Upset, Gaynor was starting to cry, "I don't understand I used the right Bottle" Gaynor said pointing over at the bottles of poitions,
Roxy starred at the bottle's and walked slowly over to them, "There's something wrong" Roxy Said looking at the slightley odd coloured Liquids, she then opened her eyes wide,
"ALEXANDRA MITCHELL" Roxy shouted at the top of her voice.
"Your Mums taken her home" Jodie shouted up the stairs in a cheerful voice.
As Alexa and Glenda walked throgh the square Alex kept looking back toward the Salon, half expecting the place to explode or something.
"What do you wan't for your tea Today" Glenda asked her Daughter who had a big smile on her face.
"Ummm, Can I have Scambled eggs, Baked beans and a Sausage" Alex Said "I am feeling a little hungry all of a sudden.
When she and Glenda arrived back at the Flat, Alex sneakily turned her Mums mobile phone on to silent and kept deleting the endless messages that Roxy Kept sending to her Mother trying to tell her What Alex had done, Alex also adjusted the hand set on the landline so it was off the hook.
Alex actually enjoyed spending the afternoon alone with her Mother, Since Moving in with Glenda Alex had, had very little one on one time with Glenda because Either Roxy or Amy had been around, And Glenda seem to work long hours, And even though Alex loved Amy, she sometimes felt jealous of all the positive attention Amy recived from Glenda.
Glenda made Alex an early tea and Alex ate it without any fuss and took her pain killers.
At half past five the flat door slammed shut and Roxy came stomping up the stairs.
"Where is she" Roxy said as she met Glenda at the top of the stairs. she then pushed past Glenda and went into the living area where Alex was sat on the sofa watching tv.
"What the hell were you playing at" Roxy screamed walking into the living area.
Alex tried not to smile and put her head down trying to hide the fact that she grinning fro ear to ear.
"Whats happened" Glenda said confussed.
"This Little brat has foolled around with the chemicles at the salon and Pat Evans hair as gone green"
"Pats hair as gone Green" Glenda said laughing.
"Its not funny Mum" Roxy said still raving mad. "We have had to chuck all of the bottles away, "We had to close the salon for the afternoon, It took us all afternoon to get Pats hair back to normal, "This spoilt little Brat has cost me a fortune"
Now the fear of having to pay Roxy for the Damage soon brought Glenda down to earth with a thud
"Alexandra is this true" Glenda said looking down at her daughter, Who was giggleing on the sofa.
"I was only tidying up like Roxy said too" Alex said still looking down and smiling, Alex Then put her hand up to her stitches in her head and said I am starting to get a headache Mum, With Roxy making so much noise.
"Well you better go and tidy your Room, And Roxy will be getting your pocket Money from now on, until she is payed back"
That wiped the smile off of Alexandra's face, who got up and started to walk towards the door,
"I think you owe your Sister an apology Alexandra" Glenda said stopping Alex from leaving the room.
Alex turned towards Roxy "Haven't you forgotton something Rox" Alex said looking at her Sister.
"What, to give you a slap" Roxy said looking at Alex as if she was going to kill her.
"No Amy" Alexandra said laughing and running off to her room.
"OMG, She is still at nursery" Roxy said running back out of the flat.
