Mick's POV:
It's been 6 months since L went to her mom's. I miss her so much. Surely, she didn't need to be gone this long but who knows how long it will take for Elaine to recover. I have gone to Watford and visited them. L just didn't look the same. I don't know why.
Few weeks later....
I was sat in the kitchen. I had been drinking all day. I was completely off my nut. My phone was in my hand, ready to call L. I didn't know what to do. Do I call her? Do I tell her I need her here? Lee has been ringing up a load of debts left right and center. Whitney and Lee had split up. The pub had been sold to someone else so I didn't actually own it. I'm struggling to cope. I can't cope. I can't do this without L. I picked up my phone...
"L, it's me baby"
"Hi Mick"
"So, I'm just wondering when your coming home. It's been six months now yanno. I miss you so much baby."
"The thing is Mick...I don't know if I will be coming home"
"What do you mean you won't be coming home? Course you will" I laughed.
"I don't think I will Mick. Mom needs a live in carer and we can't afford to pay someone to do it. She would rather me do it anyway. I know what's happened with Lee, Nance told me. I just can't face coming home yet. I'm sorry. I love you."
"Course you do" I said with an angry tone.
"You know I do Mi.." I didn't give her time to finish her sentence. I slammed the phone down on the table. Why doesn't she want to come home? The tears rolling down my face. I didn't know what to do. It's got to be me hasn't it? Why else would she come home. I threw my glass up the wall, flipped the kitchen table over and chucked my phone on the floor.
Just like that, L had decided to leave her family home.
I didn't understand why.
