XVII. I WANT A DIVORCE

He was given more responsibility now that Chase had been driving for five months. On this day in particular he was tasked with getting all the Olsen kiddos home. The high school let out thirty minutes before the middle school and an hour before the elementary school. Chase and Eliza had parking spots side by side. Her old Ford F150 is next to his Prius. Eliza laughed as they walked up to the cars, "You and your little p-pprius"

"Shut up asshole." Chase chuckled pushing her gently,

"Wanna come over and do that study guide together?"

Chase held his door open, "I have to pick up the siblings but I can see about you coming over for dinner. Mama is doing her legendary breakfast on the Blackstone. I think Kristína is coming over."

Eliza snorted, "Isn't Kristína always over?"

Chase shrugged, "She doesn't have it the easiest. We have so much why not share it."

Eliza smiled at him, "I love your family."

"Me too," Chase smiled before he climbed in his car, "I really have to go before im stuck in line sandwiched between all the SUVs."

Eliza tapped the top of his car, "Go get them kiddos,"

Chase rolled into the middle school pickup line and scrolled on his phone until the passenger door opened and Bettan sat down immediately grabbing the aux. Chase laughed as Addie climbed in saying, "I swear to God Bettan if you play any more Carrie Underwood im going to strangle you."

"I DUG MY KEY INTO THE SIDE OF HIS PRETTY LITTLE SOUPED-UP FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE CARVED MY NAME INTO HIS LEATHER SEATS. I TOOK A LOUISVILLE SLUGGER TO BOTH HEADLIGHTS!"

Chase chimed in, "SLASHED A HOLE IN ALL FOUR TIRES. MAYBE NEXT TIME, HE'LL THINK BEFORE HE CHEATS!"

Addie rolled her eyes but succumbed to the peer pressure, "RIGHT NOW, SHE'S PROBABLY UP SINGING SOME. WHITE-TRASH VERSION OF SHANIA KARAOKE"

Bettan looked over his shoulder, "Right now, she's probably saying, "

"I'm drunk" Addie chimed in a high-pitched voice,

Chase dropped an octave, "And he's a thinking that he's gonna get lucky"

Bettan danced in his seat, "Right now, he's probably dabbing on three dollars worth of that bathroom Polo." Bettan was sure to hold out the oo

Addie did a valley accent as she sang, "Oh, and he don't know"

They all scream, "OH, THAT I DUG MY KEY INTO THE SIDE/OF HIS PRETTY LITTLE SOUPED UP FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE/CARVED MY NAME INTO HIS LEATHER SEATS/I TOOK A LOUISVILLE SLUGGER TO BOTH HEADLIGHTS/SLASHED A HOLE IN ALL FOUR TIRES/MAYBE NEXT TIME, HE'LL THINK BEFORE HE CHEATS"

Chase turned down the radio as they pulled into the Elementry school, "Come on Chase!" the other two cried,

"You know LK will rat on us for jamming out too hard."

When Lily Kay climbed into the car she proceeded to chat the other threes ear off for the whole ride home. 

Chase pulled into the driveway to see Mom's Cadillac next to Mama's Bronco. "Looks like Moms are home," he said stopping the car, he opened the door for his sisters before he got his bag from the trunk. LK walked in first but the other three stayed close behind. They were making their way into the kitchen/living room area when they heard...

"I WANT A DIVORCE!"

Jo's voice reverved through the house and it instantly stopped the four kids in their tracks. They look at one another shocked. Before they could process they heard Lizzie, "Fine! If thats what you want FINE! TAKE IT ALL!" Lizzie's screaming becomes shouts, "The dog, the house, the kids. Im done. I AM SO FUCKING DONE!"

"You are a washup! I goddamn waste of air!"

"Get! Out! GET OUT OF MY FUCKING HOUSE!"

Chase had heard just enough. He wasn't about to let his mothers rip each other apart. He took the stairs two at a time before she ripped open the door to his Mama's office, "What the hell is going on here!"

The two women were facing one another with a booklet in their hands. They both looked shocked. They were about to answer him before they heard him crying downstairs. They looked at one another before they zipped past Chase running down the stairs where the other three stayed huddled up. LK was openly sobbing while the twins just had tears slipping down their face. "What's wrong?!" Lizzie asked pulling her kids against her,

LK pulled out of Lizzie's chest, "You-you" she hiccuped, "You and Mama are getting a divorce."

"Why would you-" she thought quickly, "Ohh!"

"Yeah Mom," Chase said, "We heard you screaming at each other."

Jo pulled Chase against her side, "Mom and I were running lines."

"You were running lines?" Chase said bewildered,

Lizzie kissed the heads of the three kids in her arms, "Yes," she said confidently, "I have an upcoming movie about a woman who divorces her husband."

"Hence the screaming," Jo said,

LK sniffled as she looked up at her Mom, "So you aren't getting a divorce?"

Jo walked over pulling her whole family into her. "Never."
