Flash Point Family

Chapter Thirty Seven

I had to get out of the house and go and pick up my wife truck I needed to give her some space because she seemed like she was going through something. instead of talking to me about it so that we as a married couple can work through it she bottles all of her emotions inside until she explodes on every one and everything In a lot of ways she is just like Alice the two of them never tell you what is going on in here minds.

wordy thought to himself as he paid the cad driver and got out of the cab to see that his wife truck was still in the parking lot of the bar that she came to last night. walking into the bar he saw that Tommy was behind the bar wiping the table down when wordy went over and sat on one of the bar stools.

''hey son you look like you could use a drink right now or maybe about three.'' the old man told Wordy

''you would be right about that Tommy.'' Wordy replied back to Tommy watching him pour the Amber liquid into the glass cup and handing it to him.

''so how is everything going how are the wife and kids doing?'' Tommy asked me where to even start really Wordy thought about the questions asked of him before he gave his reply.

''my kids well lets see Alice had an episode and its lasted a long time and John is going out with someone that Alice does not like for reasons that I don't know and the not knowing is killing me right now. the only good one right now is Stacy because she is still young right now and my wife likes to hold things Inside until she explodes like last night and she wont let me help her I mean come on I am her husband its my god to help lift my wife back up when she falls just like she does to me when I am down.''

Wordy replied all in one breath letting everything off his chest to Tommy he said things that he himself had not said out loud or to anybody else.

''so how is work treating you these days?'' Tommy asked me after I finished downing the drink and passed him back the glass..

''its not bad I mean work is work you know but sometimes its an escape from everything if only for a couple of hours I forget all the issues that are going on around me right now.''

I replied back to Tommy getting up from the stool he grabbed the bottle again and poured me another drink.

''you look like you could use another one '' Tommy told me and I happily down the drink grabbing the keys from his hand.

''thanks for listening Tommy I am going to go back home and see what is going on with my wife and children thanks again for the drinks.''

I told Tommy and made my way out of the bar and into my wife truck adjusting the front seat and driving off to the direction of home.

I cant believe that my husband put me in this dam cold shower right now his face looked so angry but there seemed to be a hint of worry mixed in there as well.

hearing the door slam I relished that Wordy was gone getting up from the tub I turned on the hot shower taking off my now soaked clothing I would have to put those in the washing machine when I get out of the shower.

washing my hair closing the shower stepping out of the shower I grabbed the towel wrapped my self with it. looking in the mirror I caught a glimpse of my self and dam did I look like shit right now I have not gotten that wasted in such a long time I forgot how the hangover fells like.

''I don't know how my sister ever lived her life like this one bad hang over after another then again if I knew now what I knew then I guess I could understand why she did what she did to her self I don't condon her taking her own life but dam if I be dammed I know how she must have felt.

veronica thought to her self as she got dressed and holding her wet coths and walked to the garage to put her cloths in the washer. coming out of the garage Veronica went back to the kitchen and made her self another cup of coffee. pouring the coffee into the mug and bringing it to her lips she went to walk out of the kitchen and walked right into her husband.

''what the hell babe how long have you been standing there god you nearly gave me a heart attack.''

I yelled out to my husband who just stood there studying my every move like he does with our Daughters and son.

walking into the house I see my wife in the kitchen and I walked into the kitchen and I thought she saw me standing there I guess she was in her own little world because my entering the kitchen scarred her.

''babe did you not hear and see me coming in just now?'' I asked my wife

''no babe I did not'' she replied back to me

''so how was your day honey'' I hear my wife ask me I don't know why she always does that puts others before her and always tries to hide her pain away until she holds it all in and explodes like what happened last night.

''babe come on talk to me tell me what happened last night with you last time I checked we were both still married to each other my pain is your pain its our pain your struggles are mine. we build each other up we are there for each other and last night I felt that I was alone and you did not want to let me help you.''

I explained to my wife as she stayed where she was standing in the kitchen and sipping on her mug of coffee. just then my phone rang and I went to go see who was calling and it was Parker I forgot for a moment that he had picked up the kids and was going to drop off the girls at home and John at baseball practice.

picking up the phone I was shocked at what parker was telling me right now about one of my Daughters.

''SHE DID WHAT.'' I yelled out

''yea she got into a fight with another girl named Rachel I don't know fully what happened I am going to pick up John and get more in formation from him. because there is more to this story then Miss Alice is telling me an I intend to get to the bottom of this because I know there is something she is not telling me. ''

parker was telling me and for a moment I could not help but think that he is a lot like me in certain ways he like a dog with a bone he is hooked on something he does not want to let it go unless he has reached the bottom of a situation.

Wordy thought to himself as he keep lesing to watch Parker was telling him

'' ow she is also sleeping over my house tonight because I intend to get to the bottom of all of these going on in her life right now.''

parker told me and hung up on me I turned around to see that my wife was still standing where she was before only this time she had a look of worry on her face.

''what happened honey ?'' I hear my wife ask me

''our little Alice got into a fight with that Rachel person that John was going out with and Greg says that she is sleeping over his house tonight because he plans on getting to the bottom of what happened this morning at school. ''

I told my wife and she looked so serious at me for a moment I was starting to get worried myself.

'''hum well he is like you sometimes you guys are like dogs with a bone you don't want to let go until you get to the bottom of things but I don't want you guys to push her over the edge and then something happened to my baby.''

I hear my wife and just then I shoot Greg a text message and let him know what my wife said because she looks right now like she is going to kill someone. also god its like she reads my mind or some thing its scary how women are sometimes.''

Wordy thought to him self as he walked out of the kitchen and walked to the front of the house to wait for Stacy and Greg to come home.
