Chapter Forty-Five

Third person POV

As Siobhan and Vivian said their goodbyes to Marjorie and Reece, the reality of what Autumn had found out had started to hit home with Siobhan, she got into the passenger seat and sat back, thinking about everything.

As Vivian got in the driver's side she leant over and kissed Siobhan on the lips "Are you okay Bon?"

I'm fine Vivi" she replied

Viv could tell that Siobhan wasn't okay, but she didn't want to push the subject, they drove home in a comfortable silence. Viv resting her hand on Siobhan's thigh.

They arrived home and Viv opened the front door she took Siobhan by the hand and lead her through to the dining room where she had set up a candle lit dinner

"I thought we could enjoy our childfree night in style, if you are not in the mood that's okay, we can do whatever you want Bon"

Siobhan turned round and kissed Viv "This is just what I need, I will go and get a shower and get changed then we can enjoy our night"

Siobhan headed upstairs to their bedroom she pulled out her favourite clothes to relax in, a pair of leggings and one of Viv's hoodies. She went into the bathroom switched the shower on and got undressed she looked at herself in the mirror, there were scars on her body that Roger had made, thanks to Viv and therapy she was getting over that, what people didn't know was the scar on her abdomen, it was about 4 inches long, it was from a night just before she was thrown out of her parents' home, when her father stabbed her. It's something she never spoke about. Not even when Viv first saw the scar Siobhan said it was from when she had her appendix removed.

Siobhan had her shower, then got dressed and she tied her hair into a messy bun, then she headed downstairs.

She stood in the doorway of the kitchen watching Viv finish preparing their meal, Siobhan walked into the kitchen and wrapped her arms around her waist, she buried her face in her neck and started crying.

"Hey Bon, what's wrong?"

"Finding out that Marjorie is my sister has brought everything about my childhood back and it all makes sense now"

"Shall we go and sit and eat then you can tell me.... if you want too" Suggested Viv

"Okay" replied Siobhan

They got their food then walked through to the dining room, and settled down to eat their meal, after they finished their starter Viv went and got to the main course, Siobhan poured 2 glasses of wine.

As Viv sat down Siobhan started talking "My father hated me"

"What?" replied Viv

"My father hated me, and now I know why, he would make comments to me saying I wasn't good enough, he wishes he hadn't agreed to take me in, as soon as I was turning 18, he was throwing me out. My mum tried to protect me from him, but he would hit us both. Then when I was 17, I took my first girlfriend home, I kept my sexuality hidden, especially as my father was a preacher, I was in love with Claire, so I decided to take her home to meet them, it was the worst thing I could have done, my father went ballistic, he beat me, dragged me by my hair then he stabbed me, Claire and my mum managed to somehow get him off me, Claire got me to her house, her parents took me to hospital, I was lucky to be alive, I was in hospital for 6 weeks, while social services found me somewhere to live, I stayed with Claire for a couple of weeks after being discharged from hospital but I couldn't stay there. I was found a women's refuge, and I lived there until I went to university." Siobhan had tears falling down her face.
