Watching Amy heading our way is the last thing I need right now. the last thing any of us need right now. She looks like she's ready to rip Christian a new asshole and while part of me wants to watch it unfold and enjoy it for how he's been towards me the other part of me just wants to hide away and forget about this awful day. But I do also want to see what pathetic shit she's going to come out with now. The bitch is crazy!
"CHRISTIAN!" She keeps screeching his name as she continues her stomping. That girl has got to be out of breath by now, surely. "Stop fucking screeching will you? I'm not fucking deaf!" Finally, she stops the screeching but I have a feeling that it won't last long. "Why would you do this Christian?" She comes to a stop right in front of him, she slams the palm of her hand hard on his chest wedging the piece of paper between his chest and her hand.
"I'm in the middle of something here, Amy so get in line!" Jack bursts out laughing at Christian's comment while I bite back my own snigger. "I don't give a fuck what you're in the middle of Christian. I'm your wife and mother of your children and I come before anyone else!" At Amy's words everyone starts laughing including me, Christian however just looks pissed. "For one, you're not my wife, you are my ex-wife Amy, and two, I wouldn't go throwing around the words you and being a mother too loosely because we all know that it's questionable!"
"So that's why you did this huh?" She holds up the piece of paper for him to see but he doesn't take it from her. "I'm doing what's best for my kids. You haven't been looking after them Amy and it's not acceptable!" She starts getting angrier and angrier acting like she's offended when really she knows that he's right, she just doesn't want to admit it.
"I look after my kids pretty fine thank you!" She crosses her arms over her chest while sticking her nose up in the air like she's better than everyone else here.
“Are you fucking kidding me! Jack's not laughing anymore, now he’s just pissed. “You look after them just fine… really? If you look after them just fine then would you like to tell me why I arrived at your house to find my Nephew alone starving and dirty? If you look after them just fine then would you like to tell me why my brother found my Nieces hungry and dirty in dirty beds and why Katie had a stinking dirty nappy that had been on her for a long time? Go on tell me?”
By the time he finishes speaking he is furious and so are the rest of us. I didn’t know much about the details of Christian finding the kids that day. I knew that he and Jack had found them alone and that things weren’t great but I didn’t know the details. Now that I do know them I feel sick to my stomach. I don’t even have kids and yet even I wouldn’t even have them in that state.
I can only imagine what else has gone on that I don’t know about and I don’t doubt that there’s still stuff for Christian to find out too. "You're lying! You're Lying! You're making all of this up to try and cover what you both did. You came into my house and stole my children while I was sleeping!" Oh, this bitch is cooked!
Jack storms towards her stopping at the side of Christian. "You are a bitch! you have treated those children like shit and still have the front to come here lying and causing trouble. We have just been through a Tornado and this is what you decide to do!" She looks at him like he's the crazy one here but doesn't say a word.
Suddenly she pulls her sad look out and next come the tears. I don't even know the girl and yet I can see that these tears are fake "Christian, you know that I'm a good Mom. Why did you steal my babies from me? Christian doesn't move a muscle nor does his face change the whole time that Amy is putting on her little feel sorry for me show. Once she realizes that he's not going to give her what she wants she turns nasty once more.
"you're a horrible person, Christian and I hate you. I'm taking my children and leaving and you'll never see them again!" If it is possible Christian gets even more furious. He takes a step toward Amy pushing her back a little "You are actually insane, Amy!" Christian looks like he's ready to explored. Amy takes a step back with a look of fake fear on her face. She looks around every one of us but no one even blinks toward her. "Your brother has stolen my children and then threatened me and not one of you will help me?"
"Oh hell no bitch!" I turn my attention to Tom as he storms towards Amy and I let out a small chuckle. For a moment I debate whether I should follow him because, with the sas he is giving her, I'm not sure if he's going to laugh at her or slap her. "Fuck off Tom, this has fuck all to do with you!" She screams in his face and it takes a lot for me to not go over and knock her out but Tom is more than cable of looking after himself.
"Bitch you left my Nieces and Nephew alone! ALONE! We have just been through a Tornado and yet you haven't even asked how the children are. you don't give a fuck about those beautiful children. Why don't you just do the best thing for them and leave them here with their Dad and family who love them and make sure their needs and wants are taken care of?"
"Niece not Niece's, Katie isn't your Niece." Oh no she didn't. "Bitch, She’s more my Niece than your daughter let me tell you!" well played Tom, well played!
I take a step back and look around me smiling. Tom is still going at it with Amy while Christian stays close giving her the most hated look I have ever seen on someone's face while Jack, Zack, and Callum all give her their own pissed-off looks. However, my smile soon turns to a sad one when a heart breaking realization hits me.
It's time for me to go, right now while Tom is occupied. If I tell him that I'm leaving now he will only try and talk me out of it and more than likely succeed and I can't do it. One because I don't want to come between Tom and Christian and I worry that if I stay here that will end up happening and two because I don't want to live with someone who hates me. I've done that before and I won't do it again.
I've got my phone and bank card in my pocket and everything else that I own has been destroyed so I can just leave and I need to do it now. Obviously, today was not what we expected so I've not been able to plan anything but that's okay I've got the whole world at my feet as the saying goes.
I start walking away from the house and towards the trees at the side of the driveway. If I walk the long driveway I have more chance of Tom seeing me but if I take the trees then I should be covered. I keep checking over my shoulder to make sure no one has noticed my exit and thankfully they haven't.
I'm going to head into town and see if there's any way out of town, even if it's just the next town over. My passport was lost in the storm but if I can find somewhere to stay for a few weeks I can get a new one. I'm going to head to New York first for a little while then who knows where I will end up.
I finally reach the tees and look back one last time. I can't see what's going on but I can still make out everyone. I'm going to miss them all including Ruby, John, and the kids but most of all I'm going to miss Tom. We've not been apart for more than a month since high school and life will be both strange and hard without him but he'll be fine he has his family who love him and would do anything for him.
"Goodbye, Tom," I whisper as I head inside the trees. "I'll miss you."
