Everything She Was (Sequel to After everything We've Been Through )

Closed Doors

"I did something bad, and I have no clue what to do"

"What did you do"

I tell mum over the phone the situation and she doesn't seem to respond.

"You fucked up Bailey   "

"Thanks mum thats really something I needed to hear" sarcasm rolls off her  tongue.

"How's things with dad?"

"His do you know about that"

"Blue called me mum, he sounded like he had been crying"

"Oh blue"

"You need to sort your shit  out because this  fucking pitty drama that goes on between you is bull shit. Your not the only ones involved with these fights anymore mum, there's me, blue and the kid on the way. His just a kid he shouldn't have to go through your messes because you can't talk to eachother." My own daughter talking to me that way, but I guess someone would have to, even if she is my own flesh and blood .

" We do need to sort our shit out I know. But it's not your business so keep your nose out it Bailey !"

"Stop acting as fucking teenagers then mum and take some responsibility for what dad has done, maybe his not  the problem. Maybe you are" you can tell there's hurt through out her voice.

"Don't talk to your mother that way!!"

"Now you want to be my mother, where, were you 10 years ago when I actually needed you."

"Goodbye Bailey " I hang up, blue walks into the room with his towel and his beautiful smile.

"It's pool time mummy"

"Let's get you, in your bathers " ( I'm a Australian, we say bathers leave me alone😂)

I put his swim trunks on, I put sunscreen all over his body and put his hat on. I put on my bathers and we get into the pool, Blue can swim, his Been taking lesson since he was a year old.  But it doesn't Been he doesn't like his pool floatie.

It's funny, my husband and I are fighting know not Bailey and I also. Who's next Corbyn or Zach.

"Are you going to leave again mummy "

"You fight with daddy, yelling and screaming, it's to loud " he picks his hand up from the water and covers his ears, shaking his head.

"You not surprise to listen blue"

"It's to loud " he shrugs his shoulders.

"B what do you want for lunch ?" Jack calls out from the kitchen.

"I don't want anything, blue will have a sandwich " I'm still not wanting to talk to him.

Bailey's POV

Who does she think she is, telling me to get my nose out of her business, when what happens envolves me. All they do is fight, maybe things that have been buried should stay that way. That's way people say when another door closes another opens, your not suppose to open the door again when it's closed.  There closed for a reason and you know if you open it, it's trouble, just look at Autumn and Jack, dad opened the Autumn door and shit went down. But look at me, I'm here saying all this and I opened up a door that shouldn't have been opened and I caused shit. Maybe I should just stay silent, don't say a word and that could fix all the problems. Or just stay with closed doors.

I hear a knock on my door and when I open it, I see Eli standing there, worried, sadness in his eyes and as if he needs me. That's happening a lot lately him needing me.

"What's wrong "

"Can I come in, but what I'm about to tell you has to stay between us"

"Don't we have to many our little secrets, but whatever what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors."
