Phil had come back from Glenda's and was trying to get Zak to be responsable for his actions.

Zak was fed of always taking the blame for Alex , It had always been the same for Zak, His Mother had walked out on him when he was a baby, His Father Charlie enventually married someone else and had another little Son, Zak had always been left out and blamed if anything had gone wrong in the house, So Zak had clung to his grandparents and had a close relatonship with his Grandfather. but when his grandmother passed away when Zak was ten and his Grandfather clive fetched a then five year old Alex to live with him, Zak also became the whipping boy at his Grandfathers house as well. Alex couldn't do any wrong in Clives eyes. Zak began to feel like a outcast in his own family. And when Charlie had attacked Alex his step Mother had blamed Zak because if her hadn't stole Roxy's car in the first place, Charlie wouldn't have hurt Alex.

"Why you are staying under my roof, you don't lay another finger on Alex" Phil said looking serious at Zak,

"Everyone thinks she is this sweet little kid, My Gtandad thought the sun shined out of her arse and plays on that" Zak protested.

"Yes she is a spoilt little brat but it was only a few weeks ago, your old man beat the poor little thing half to death, She is just a kid Zak" Phil said trying to get through to Zak.

Zak was fed of hearing about Poor little Alex and got up and left the house, he went and sat on the bench in the gardons it was pouring with rain by this time and Zak was getting very wet. He felt angry that his and Alexandra's lives could be so different from each others, Even though they were actually Auntie and nephew they had been brought up more like Brother and Sister. Here they were both from the same family, Both Fathers were banged up but Alex was with her Protective Mother and elder sisters surrounded by love and here he was surrounded by distant relatives still being blamed again for anything that went wrong in Alexandra's life, Zak was fed up with it and was feeling very alone in the would. I am going to get you, Alex Mitchell, Zak thought to himself.

Alex was spwrald across her confortable bed in her warm dry bedroom, She knew very well why she had been told off and sent to her room, but she couldn't help her mind fill with self pitying thoughts. She could here Jack playing with Amy and Amy screaming with laughter and the her Mother and sisters laughing at Amy laughing, Alex felt a little upset that Amy wasn't even asking for her or missing her presence at the family gathering. she could hear them all talking and laughing, She could smell sunday lunch cooking, And the sound of the table being set, But none of it was for her she would have to wait until the family had eaten before she was going to be allowed to eat, Her Dinner will most likely have dried up in the oven and her Mother would most likely insist that she eats it all. She imagined after Glenda Tells Ronnie how much she has misbehaved, she and Jack would worry that her bad behavior would rub off on their unborn baby, And they wouldn't want anything to do with her. Alexandras thoughts turned to Zak, He behaved much worse then her at the cinema and there he was next door with Phil who thought Zak was a saint enjoyig a nice Family Sunday Lunch. I am going to get you Zak Mitchell, Alex thought to herself.

Billy came out, of number 27 and came to sit with Zak in pouring rain,

"You all right mate" Billy said looking at his younger cousin.

Zak shrugged his shoulders, "Us Mitchell's are strange, Its like there two classers of us, Their are the Zaks and the Alex's" Zak said "The Alex's are important, get everything they want, They always have people to take care of them no matter what they have done, or what happens to them, Its like they are the upper class, And then there are the Zaks, No one cares about them they are used and when things get tough People turn their backs on them, The Zaks are the underclass"

This all sounded to familar to Billy, "I know what you mean "I have spent my whole life playing second fiddle to phil, And now he is even taking Jay off me" Billy looked at Zak and rubbed his wet hair " Come on mate shirley is plating up your grub"

Zak walked back inside the house and him and Billy went into the Kitchen

"An extra big potion for Zak Shirl" Phil said Chucking Zak a towel. Zak smiled as Shirley handed him a huge Sunday Lunch.

Thier was a knock on the door of Alexandra's bedroom door, And Ronnie popped her head around,

"Come on sweet pea Dinner time" Ronnie said her holding her hand out to Alex.

Alex looked at Ronnie strange "I am not allowed" Alex said feeling embarrest, that maybe Glenda hadn't told Ronnie about Alex being naughty yet.

"Oh I talked Mum around, and I have got you off the hook, We can't have you getting any thiner can we" Ronnie said smiling and winking at her Little sister.

Alex stood up and smiled at Ronnie, Ronnie kissed Alex on the cheek and they walked into the living area together, Amy immediatley started clapping her hands when she saw Alex, and Roxy gave Alex a little tickle as a way of saying sorry for being so hard on her.

"Come and sit your bum dowm next to me Minx" Jack said Smiling at Alex ad patting the chair nest to him.

Glenda Put Alex Meal in front of Alex and kissed the top of her head.

Both sets of Mitchells sat and ate their meals in peace, in nieghbouring houses and surrounded by Family.
