I have redused Alex's age by two years, I know this seems strange so late in the storey but I feel my writing for her is more like for a twelve year old then someone who is fourteen xxxx
The rest of the week passed by pretty unremarkabley, Glenda had reluctenley agreed for Alexansra's best friend Cally to come and stay over, on Saturday night, Alex and Cally had been friends since Alex moved in with her father at the age of seven.
But it was Friday night and Glenda was going to spend some time at the R&R, So Jack agreed to stay home and watch over Amy, Ronnie asked Jack to watch Amy up in Glenda's flat that way he could be their if Alex was to need him as well. Alex was unimpressed with the situration.
Glenda was in her Room getting ready as was Roxy, as Amy was already asleep in Roxy room. Alex came and sat on her bed in sulky mood. She watched her Mother and sister having a laugh and joke together, sharring each others make up, And a stream of jealousy ran through Alex's vains"
"Why are you going out Mum, Why can't we all stay in together"
"Darling this is the first proper night out, I have had since you arrived, You've got your own way about your friend coming to stay and you will be having lots of fun with her other the weekend, So be a good girl, its not like I leave you every night is it. I have three Daughters you know, and want to spend some time with my two elder girls.
"But Mum you never spend any time with me" Alex said in a sulky voice.
"Excuse me, My world has centred around you for the last month" Glenda said shocked.
"Its alright Mum, Me and Ronnie are getting some attenion and Alex is Jealous, She wants all the Attention" Roxy said smiling.
"No I am not" Alex said throwing a pillow over at Roxy.
Just then was a knock on the door. "That will be Jack and Ronnie, Glenda said. "go and let them Alexandra and take that look off you face please"
"Why do I have to do everything" Alex said getting up off her bed and stomping to the door.
Glenda and Roxy looked at each other in a amzment as Glenda ussually waites on Alex hand and foot.
Alex let Jack and Ronnie in, Jack went into ther living room and Ronnie went to the bedroom to her Mother and Sister who were just about ready.
"What am I supposed to do all night" Alex whinged as her Mum and Sisters came back into the living area.
"Alexandra, You can be getting on with some of that homework" Glenda said.
"No way" Alex answered
"What do you mean no" Glenda said looking at her youngest daughter, who obviouly in the mood for being a right little Madam.
"I'll do it some other time" Alex said flopping on the sofa.
"You get it out and do it now, Thank you very much" Glenda said firmley,
Alex knowing her Mother was being serious got up slammed the pile of books on the table, looking for a reaction.
Ronnie walked over to Alex and bent down and to Alexandra's hieght, and pointed her finger. "Ur Alex, don't you give Jack any trouble, or you will have me to answer to, alright"
Alex nodded knowing that she would be in big trouble with Ronnie if she didn't behave herself.
"And get an early night Please Alex, You still need plenty of rest" Glenda said giving Alex a kiss.
The Three Mitchell women left and Alex started doing her Home work.
Jack watched TV and went to Check on Amy a few times.
"Alex started to put her books away after finishing one set of maths problems and a english assignment.
"What time do you have to go to bed then Alex" Jack asked.
"What ever time I want" Alex answered.
Alex went to put her books away in her Room and while she was in there her mobile phone beebed with a text message, It was from Zak, Saying he had heard Cally was coming over to Stay.
Alex sighed, What Alex had not told Glenda was that Cally older brother was Webester was Zaks best mate.
Alex turned her Phone off and went back into the living room.
"Can we watch a DVD or something Jack" Alex asked planning on staying up until her Mum came back.
"No, you will be off to bed in half an hour. Jack said in friendley but firm voice.
Over at the R&R Ronnie and Roxy and Glenda were enjoying a night together even though Ronnie was serving behind the bar, She managed to come and have a half an hour break with her Sister and Mother.
"Wonder how Jack and Alex are getting on" Glenda said grinning.
"She as most probably thown his stick out of the window and tied him to a chair by now"Roxy said laughing.
"Oh god, She had better not have" Ronnie said putting her hand to her forehead.
"She was so miffed she was being left out of the fun tonight" Roxy said.
"Well the child Maintenance payment as cleared with bank, So on Monday I am taking her shopping as a treat, for being such a good girl" Glenda said.
Ronnie and Roxy looked at each other and burst out laughing. "Being good, I think I must have blinked and missed that moment Mum" Roxy said still laughing.
"Well you know girls you can say what you want, But their is one good thing she as done without even trying" Glenda said smiling at her two Daughters.
"She as brought all of us together, we were in pieces when she arrived" Glenda looked at her two older Daughters with Pride, "But know here I am with my Beautiful girls"
"To Alex" Ronnie said smiling and raiseing her glass, To Alex Glenda and Roxy said together.
back at the flat, Jack was nodding off he managed to shake himself Checked his watch and sat up.
"Right squrt off you go, Bedtome"
"I am not tired yet Jack, I won't be able to sleep, just half a hour more please, We could play scrable" Alex said sitting back in the chair and crossong her legs.
"off you go to bed, You heard what your Mum said, To bed early, its already ten o'clock, Hop it now" Jack said.
Alex folded her arms in front of her sat up stieght in her chair, Smiled and said "Make me" Knowing Jack could physically Handle Her because of his injurys.
Jack looked at Alex, and at that moment his phone rang and he answered it, Oh Hi Ronnie.
"I am off to bed then" Alex said running off to her room, Not wanting Ronnie, Roxy or Glenda to know that she was misbehaving.
"Yeah everything is Fine, Alex yep she as just off to bed" Jack continued to talk to Ronnie.
