Cheryl & Liam - I've Tried Everything

Chapter 16

The following morning Liam had to be up early for his radio and TV promotion as he had missed the previous day to stay with Cheryl and her children and made sure they were ok. Once Liam had left for a full day of work, Karen got out of bed to cook a full english breakfast before her and Geoff drove back to Wolverhampton, not wanting to stay any longer and get in the way of Cheryl trying to sort things out.

It wasn't too long till Karen gently awoke Cheryl to tell her that breakfast was nearly ready. Cheryl thanked her and pulled herself out of bed and got dressed as quickly as she could with her ribs hurting like hell still. Amelia started crying from her crib as she woke up making Cheryl smile as she picked her up and snuggled her into her chest knowing it was time to feed her soon. As Amelia's cries quietened down she made her way back over to the bed she shared with Ruby and gently woke her up telling her that 'KiKi' had made them breakfast. Before she knew it Ruby was up and had already ran out of the room towards the kitchen making her chuckle to herself as she really was a food lover.

Cheryl sat back on the bed and breastfed Amelia as she thought about what her plan was for the next week. She knew that realistically she had to go home at some point, her clothes and baby supplies were going to run out pretty soon and she couldn't just permanently move into Liam's house without having any of her stuff there. She just knew that if she even stepped foot in that house again then bad memories will spring up and no doubt JB would be there, drunk out of his mind.

Once she had finished breastfeeding Amelia, burped her and changed her nappy, Cheryl made her way downstairs to join Liam's parents and her other daughter for breakfast.

"Look mammy, KiKi made me a smiley breakfast" Ruby grinned and pointed at her breakfast in front of her. Two eggs were 'the eyes' and the sausage was the mouth.

"Wow, you're so so lucky aren't you? Did you say thank you?" She replied whilst placing Amelia in her moses basket next to the table as she wasn't quite old enough yet to sit in a baby chair at the table.

"Yes I did mammy" Ruby smiled whilst Karen nodded at Cheryl letting her know that she did.

"Good girl" Cheryl told her as she sat down and they all started to eat their breakfast.

A little while later after Cheryl and Geoff cleaned up after breakfast, Liam's parents decided to head off home as they didn't want to hit the rush hour traffic in the afternoon. Once they'd all said their goodbyes Cheryl was left to her own devices in Liam's house with her two young daughters.

She didn't quite know what to do with herself, but it wasn't long till her phone started ringing telling her that Lily was calling. She sighed as she picked up the phone, knowing that ignoring her texts for the past few days wasn't her smartest of ideas.

"Hello?" Cheryl answered.

"Cheryl? Are you ok?" Lily instantly asked, knowing it's not really like her to ignore messages.

"Yeah are you?" She asked, trying to turn the conversation around.

"Chez. Tell me what's happening please? You've been ignoring my texts for days, I popped round yours this morning on the way to Kobox and your cars are there but no one is home. Where are you?" Lily asked, having called into Cheryl's house before making her way to her boyfriends boxing gym in London where she trained everyday.
