Sweet Dreams - Ace Merrill

Play nice

Vivian awoke to the sound of John crying. Yet as she rolled over and prepared to get up she saw he was already being held by her brother.

"Wakey wakey little sister." He gave her a warm smile as he gently soothed John.

Vivian groaned as she sat up, resting her head on her hands.

"You know I can't keep him right?" Vivian finally spoke as she looked up at her brother.

He shook his head slowly as he sat down next to her.

"Why not? You're his mum?" He questioned, unsure as to why she was talking about giving him up, having only just got him.

"Because I can't look after him!" She moaned out as she returned her head to her hands. "I have no job, no house, nothing."

Alex gently placed John down to the side of him as he shuffled closer to her.

"You thought about getting your own place?"

Vivian scoffed. "With no money and no job? Yeah sure that's a fucking easy job." She retaliated sarcastically as she glared at him.

Alex sighed.

"There is one other option..." he mumbled.

Vivian sighed as she leant back against the sofa, staring at him.

"And what's that?"

"You could always talk to Ace..."

Alex received a quick smack to the chest.

"I'm serious! I assume you've got a fair bit to talk about now."

Vivian continued to glare at him as he laughed slightly.

"Or not talk as the case was proved yesterday."

Alex received yet another smack.

"So what? After all that you're just not gonna talk to him again?"

Vivian groaned out as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"I don't know!" She moaned out as Alex gently patted her head.

"Well how about we go see them and then you can work out what's what?" Alex suggested as he stood up, before picking John up.

"Elizabeth wanted to take John for the day anyway."

Vivian sighed as she nodded, standing up herself.

"She's upstairs, you can borrow some clothes from her."

Vivian looked down at the clothes she was wearing, Ace's shirt. She gently tugged at it as she walked past her brother and headed up to see his girlfriend.

"Morning!"

Vivian groaned slightly, she was way too perky all the time.

"You wanna borrow some clothes? That shirt looks way too big for you?" She spoke as she stood from her dressing table and gestured over to her wardrobe with her makeup brush.

Vivian nodded slowly as she kept a firm grip of Ace's shirt.

"It's not mine." She mumbled as she walked over to the wardrobe.

"Ace's?"

Vivian snapped her head towards Elizabeth.

"Alex kinda told me." She mumbled as she took a small step back, though they were the same age Alex's younger sister always scared her.

"Fucking snitch." Vivian mumbled as she spun again and began flicking through the clothes.

"These are all kinda girly..." she mumbled as she flicked through each dress.
