(Picking up to Joe parking the car in front of Beth making her stop walking.)

I stopped and walked around the car. He rolled down the window. "Get in the fucking car Beth."

"Piss off."

"Elizabeth Carried O'Mallery get yer Irish arse in this car. Don't make me come after you." I stopped and stared at him. Isabel was curled up on the back seat asleep. "I'm willing to talk if you will get in and listen. Please." I got in and he put the car in drive. We drove around a little. "I know there's no excuse as to what I did. I don't blame you if you broke it off with me but we 'ave a daughter and lets at lease act like her parents. I'm not asking you to stay with me because of her."

"Then what are you asking?"

"I'll make a proposition with you. Yer free to stay in me house all the deals of yer living arrangements go back to the way it was before. I can't get a divorce and right now I think its best I'm not with anyone until I can. I'm not going to be home much anyway right now. I have something really big coming up. The only time you and I will speak is as friends or whatever."

"Joe Oi don't care if you sleep around. Oi just don't want to be lied to and go through all that shit again. Oi'm not going to let you do that and Oi'm certainly not going to let you do it to her."

"I know and I'm not. I love her and you know I'm trying me damnest to be a good father. Right now I feel if we stay away from each other one it will make our love stronger and two I can clear me head." He pulled up in front of the house. "Let's face it neither one of us wants to lose Isy. I hate to say this but it's the only thing dat makes sense. 'How can we be loves if we can't be friends?'"

He stuck something in my bag. "So if Oi be just a flat mate it will be strictly flat mates. No sleeping together etc. etc. Oi can date anyone Oi want?"

"Ahe but I don't want them in me house. I want you to respect me rules same as I will respect yours."

"Deal." We shook on it and he carried Isy in the house. "I'm sorry about pushing you." He just waved as he left. I sat on the living room floor looking at the shattered table and cried. I couldn't
believe I became so violent.

I cried almost every night after that up until three days before Halloween. Butch came in the store with roses and asked me out. Ryan said she'd watch Bell that evening. I was flattered he asked and scared. We went to the house so I could change and there it happened. He had come to cheer me up because he knew I was depressed.

I was coming down the steps talking and my legs gave out from me. I fell but caught myself on the rail. My legs went down and I was barely hanging on.

"Butch!" I yelled. Him and Isabel jumped and came running. He picked me up.

"Babe you ok?"

"No!" He got me to the couch and started checking me over.

"What happened? What hurts?"

"Oi can't breathe." I said holding my chest and I felt I couldn't catch my breath. "My leg hurts and arms."

"Call 911." He said to Bell. They had just changed us to 911. She ran to the phone. He pulled on my arm and I hollered in pain. "Shit sorry. Take deep breaths."

I did and he still checked me over. He touched my leg and looked at me. "What?" He pushed my pant leg up and I seen something trying to stick out. "Ah god."

"Dat doesn't hurt?"

"No some parts of dat leg is still dead nerves. It's broke isn't it? Oi'm so sorry about the date."

"I'd say it's broke don't worry about the date you can make it up to me later."

"Ah there goes Sav's party."

"What happened you trip or something?"

"No. Oi really haven't been feeling good. Me legs just gave out on me. It hurts to breath."

"I know babe. Just keep taken deep breaths."

I know I shouldn't of said what I did next but I wanted it. "Oi want Joe."

"Babe Joe's out on some gigs but I'll try and reach him. You just stay still, deep breaths and be comfortable." He propped my legs up on a pillow and added a pillow behind me. "Try not to move too much. Did you hit yer head?"

"Oi don't think so." Isabel got off the phone and she started freaking out. I got her calmed as much as I could. Even though he stepped out I could hear him on the phone.

"Joe, where is he? Uh Christ. Yeah I got a big problem bro. I'm at his house and it's a bloody good thing I'm here. Beth fell....down the steps. Rick calm down she's fine. Hold on." He put the phone in my hand.
