"Good morning!"he said as I enter the kitchen to take water. It was a Saturday. Both of us are home. It really hurts me to see that. I didn't give him a reply. Why would I greet him when we are not in good terms
"Please don't be like the old Violet!"I heard him say
Yeah he was right. The old Violet was back. The old Violet that shouts, ignores greetings, rude ,..she was back. I still didn't give him a reply.
"Vee!"he faced me. I sigh
"I am not really in the mood to talk Barry.."I said sounding helpless. Okay forget about the headache I had today, I feel dumb.
"Are you okay...?"he asked moving closer to me. I moved back.
"Yeah!"
He place his back palm on my neck
"Goodness..Vee you're running temperature!"
"Practically..."I mumbled
"Oh my God..are you okay?"
"Yeah sure.. Barry..never mind about me"I said pushing my way out of the kitchen
"Should I call Ella?"he asked
"Nah..she wouldn't like to hear I fell sick because of you!"I spat and walked upstairs.
**
He knocked on the door. I knew it was him. He wouldn't listen. Why would he care for me when he doesn't love me
"Violet please open up."
No reply
"You're killing me with this silence..please just let us talk! I feel so guilty"
"Of course I want you to feel guilty"I mumbled . But he couldn't hear me.
"I'm gonna have to break this door if you're so hesitant"
"It's your house Barry!"I mumbled again.
Soon he left.
Maybe?
**
"Okay are you gonna come out now since the lawyer is here?"I heard him say. I stood up from my bed and moved to the door to open it.
After opening it. I stare at a furious Barry in front of me
"Seriously..you opened the door for that?"
"That's my priority now!"I said and move downstairs
The lawyer looked up as my footstep sound on the stairs
"Welcome!"I greeted and gave a handshake "Thanks for coming on time"I said again and sat down
Barry also came downstairs and sat beside the lawyer
"Yes Mrs Brown..about your divorce?"
"Yeah, the one we have been planning..I just wanted ask when our case will be in court"
"Well..you should have asked that on the phone then"
"I just wanted to be realistic!"
"Well okay..your case is on Wednesday. I had wanted to call you earlier too"he said to Barry
"Well do make it fast then"I said
"That's okay..are you both satisfied?"
"Yes!"I replied. He turned to look at Barry and raised his brows. Barry nodded and the lawyer stood on his feet
"Well I'll get going anyway..have other clients to attend to. Thanks for doing business with me!"he gave Barry a handshake which he took

***
I pack my load little by little inside a big bag. Barry and I haven't really talked well today.
I don't know how he'll react to what I'm About to do.
After packing I went downstairs and drag the luggage
"Where are you going to?"Barry stood up and double crossed me
"I'm going to where I came from. My parents house!"
"What? Are you kidding me!"he yelled
Geez. I know he won't take it lightly
"No Barry I'm leaving"I said and moved. He stopped me
"Violet you are going nowhere!"he ordered
"Why? You still want to keep me at home so I can hear the folktales about you and Jennifer?"I moved to go
He stopped me
"Violet please..just forget all this thing ever happened. You know how much I care about you"
"Barry..look..we are getting a divorce..there's no need for me to stay here"
"At least we haven't gotten a divorce yet!"
"But I don't want to stay here"I yelled
"Okay see..Violet..you are sick..at least wait till you get better"
"I can't get better staying here..it will only get worse"I moved to go and he stopped me again holding my hands
"Please Violet"his voice croaked, I look at him. He had misty eyes. So full of tears. He's gonna make me cry soon.
"'Please.."he begged
"If you don't leave me Barry. I'll call the police you are harassing me..my temperature is enough prove for them to believe"I threatened
I would never do that!
He leaves my hand slowly as I moved away from his front to the door
"We'll meet at court.."I said and jam the door
**
I sigh as I ring the bell of my house. I ring it twice till Marshall came to open it
"Violet?"he was surprised seeing me
"Good afternoon"I reply weakly
"Can I come in?"I asked him. He was staring at me with so much shock..with my loads?
"Yeah..sure..come in..i just was never aware you were coming for holiday"
I smile
"A surprise I presume..where's mum"
"Upstairs. Let me get her for you."
After the fight mum and I had about the Denix. After she had slapped me twice. After I had walk out on her. I am as scared as hell to see her face. Feeling more sick already. I had no time to shout. If she decides to shout today. Maybe I'll ask her to postpone it till tomorrow. I have no strength for all that now
"Whoa. The prodigal daughter is back."I heard my mum's voice as she come down from the stairs and cackled. I stand up and look at my feet till I feel her in front of me
"How may I help you Violet?"she asked
I look up at her. Staying with Barry was better than this woman. But I had no choice. I was gonna keep crying if I saw Barry's face.
"Mum.."I started
"Whoops..who's ya mum..you called me evil the other day right..what changed"
"I'm sorry"I apologized
"Well..what are you doing here anyway?"she took a seat.
"I came back.."
"You're not sticking to your husband anymore hun?"
"I'm ready go listen to you mum..I'll get married to the Denix to boost your contract"
"Whoa what has my girl turned to..a bitch? Leaving her husband?"
"Mum..just stop those insult..I'll get married again"
"Hmmn. Still got those guts hun?"
I rolled my eyes.
"Well..since you took so long to answer..the Denix cancelled the contract"
"What?"
"I don't know what the hell you told them..their son's just keep blabbing about me forcing you into marriage which is not right and bla bla.. they said you would fall in love with whomever you want"
"Oh yeah I already did.."I find myself say and blush as Barry's face rush into my mind.
"Bah?"she asked
"Nothing.."I covered up
"Okay well like I said earlier there has been a change of mind"She sat up
"You are gonna get married again..but not to the Denix..this time the Sherlock Holmes"
"What?"
"Have you heard of them?"
"No..never..i mean.i can't..get married again"
I had never thought she would break contract with the Denix. It was just an excuse of me living happily. I know Jade will play along with his parents and my mum will think her plan worked. But now. I guess she is ruling and I made a big mistake
"What has gotten into you..?"she yelled a bit
I shriek
"I..I.."
"Think about it"
"Yeah..i will"
"We would be leaving to their house tomorrow"
"What?"
"Yeah..so I'll get you a nice dress too"
"What if I hadn't come home"
"Yeah..I always make my plan..I bought some clothes for Millie. She was gonna go with me. Good girl. Maybe i could give her to the youngest son there"she laughed
"Anyway Violet.. tomorrow.. don't be late"she said and went upstairs
I bit my lip in frustration.
**
Up in my room. I lay lifelessly on the bed. My life was just so messed up.Missed calls from Barry, missed calls from Jade, I had watch the phone ring but feel reluctant to pick it.
"Bestie?"I heard Ella's voice as I turn to look. She was peeping inside my room
"Ella.."I whispered and she entered
"You're here?"she asked me.
"Of course.."I said and sat up
"You've got explanation to make..Vee"
"Oh Really?"
"I don't understand what is actually going in..Barry called that you're are sick and I went over to your house and h said you are here...he really looked worried.."
Hmmmn. Really got some explanation to make.
I'm just so tired about tomorrow adventure.
