Ronnie had come up to wish Alex luck for tomorrow, When Roxy arrived back home with her.

"Pats hair green" Ronnie said laughing hysterically, While holding Amy and making her Laugh aswell.

"Its not funny, What if word gets around" Roxy said putting her head in her hands.

"No no no Poor Pat, Ronnie said trying to hide the fact that she was still laughing "It a shame Zsa Zsa isn't still around, She would have been jealous of Pats new look.

"Ronnie" Roxy said still sat their stonney faced still fourious about the days events.

" Come on Rox, It was very naughty of Alex, But I would have loved to have seen Pats face"

"Alex as only been here less then a month and as caused more bother then I did in the whole of my teens" Roxy said.

Ronnie looked over at Roxy "excuse me, I don't think so, Remember I was there"

"Well you know what I mean Ronnie" Roxy said "Alex is a right pain in the arse"

"Oh Roxy, She isn't, She can be a sweetheart, She was as good as gold when she was with me over at the R&R other day, mind you she was knackered" Ronnie said shrugging her shoulders.

At that moment Glenda walked in after helping Alex who was taking a bath, And Glenda had gone to help with rubbing in some dry shampoo she had to use for her hair.

"How are you and Alex getting along Mum" Ronnie asked.

"She was a little sweetheart this afternoon" Glenda said Smiling, "Thats why I didn't want to be to hard on her, Over the Mix up at the salon"

"Mix up, mix up, It was sabotage" Roxy said waving her arms around "And Mum you have never hard on Alex, She gets away with murder, She a right Spoilt Little Brat"

"Takes one to know one" Alex Said coming out of the bath room in her Pajamas. and sitting next to Ronnie.

"Oh Mum a letter came for you to our flat this Morning" Ronnie said pulling the letter out of her bag" It Looks official.

Roxy and Alex started pulling faces at each other and started nudging each other which turned into tapping.

"Oi enough" Glenda shouted over at her two Daughters "you pair are like a cuple of eight year olds at times"

Ronnie Smile at her two younger Sisters who started pointing at each other and blaming each other.

Glenda ripped open the Letter, "it's from Clives soliciter"

"Is it a visiting Order" Alex said jumping up and moving next to her Mother.

"NO its a check, A Child Maintenance Payment, Clive has instucted his soliciter to realise Money every month to meet Alexandra's needs while he is in prison, Glenda Said smiling. A thousend pounds a month.

"Well That should make life a little easier from now on Mum" Ronnie said.

"Does that mean you can give up work at the bookies Mum" Alex said takng the check from her Mum.

"No darling a thousend pounds a month won't support both of us" Glenda said " But it will make a big difference, Its for things like your Clothes, Gas and Electric Bills, Food, Mummy's roots because your sending me gray"

Alex handed the check bact to her Mother "Its you name mum, When will you cash it, Tomorrow"

"Why Want to spend your Dads ill gotton gains hey Alex" Roxy said sat in the arm chair trying to provoke her younger Sister.

"Rox, Don't" Ronnie Said.

"What does she mean by Ill gotten gains" Alex said looking confussed.

"Well he is a crook any cash he has is bound to be dodgy" Roxy said smiling over at her younger Sister.

"Thats enough Roxy" Ronnie said.

"My Dads not a crook, He was providing a service" Alex said walking towards her Sisrer"

"That Enough Alexandra" Glenda said putting the check saftley away in her bag. Knowing by Alex body language that she was getting very wound up.

"What you on about, Providing a service, he was running a protection racket and dealing in stolen cars, he is locked up because he is a bully and a crook" Roxy said to the small thin girl who was standing over her.

Then Alex pounced on the Top of Roxy, "Take it back you cow" Alex shouted as she tryed to grab Roxy's hair.

Ronnie Picked Amy up and moved her out of the way.

Roxy began restain her Little Sister and began laugh at Alex trying to take on a much bigger and stronger Roxy.

Glenda was terrifed that Alex was going to bang her arm or fall back and bang her head. "Alex stop it now" Glenda shouted.

Alex was still on the top of Roxy with her back to Glenda, Roxy was still laughing.

"Alex get off of me you stupid little fool, Roxy said Laughing. This provoked Alex even more and she desperately lashed out at her big sister but Roxy managed to stop her everytime.

Glenda did the only thing she could think of to end the situation.

She raised her hand back and smacked Alexandra's Bottom really hard, Alex screamed and in shock let go of Roxy,

Roxy said "Alex you deserved that" and gently pushed her way. Glenda tried to pull Alex towards her to give her a hug, But Alex Who was in tears by now pushed Glenda away.

"I hate you" Alex shouted as she ran to her bedroom and slammed the door.

"For God Sake Roxy, Did you have to" Ronnie Shouted at Roxy.

"She attacked me" Roxy said "That sounded like a really hard smack Mum"

Glenda was looking upset and was rubbing her hand, "I didn't mean it, I was just trying to stop her from hurting herself, I had better go and comfort her" Glenda said,

I would leave her to calm down first Mum" Ronnie Said putting Amy back down.


About twenty minutes Later, Glenda went into the bedroom and Alex was sat in the cornre of the room still sobbing, Come here Darling Glenda said sitting on Alexandra's bed.

"No" Alex said sobbing.

"Please Alex, Glenda said patting the Bed" Alex reluctanly got up and sat next to her Mum on the bed,

"I am sorry sweetheart, I had to do something to get you off of your sister" Glenda said drying Alexandras tears.

"It was Roxy as well, Not just me" Alex said sniffing. "It really hurt Mum, And it was embarriassing"

"I know Darling, I am sorry" Glenda said Pulling Alex up for a Cuddle, Alex seemed to flop into Glenda's arms Sobbing.

Later that night when Alex was in bed Roxy came into the bedroom. She bent down to Alex and stroked her hair.

"I am sorry Alex, I didn't mean to upset you about your Dad, I was just teasing you really, Can I have a good night kiss" Roxy said.

Alex leaned forward and gave Roxy a hug and a kiss good night.

"Oh that was nice, Roxy said tucking Alex back into bed.

"Roxy" Alex said "I am sorry about the bottles at the salon"

"Don't worry, Thats over with now, You get some sleep, you have got a big day tomorrow"
