About an hour Beth later pulled up at a gas station to fuel up and get some candy. Kelly phoned her when she sat back in her car.
KELLY: Where are you?
BETH: At a gas station filling up
Beth was busy opening a Mars Bar wrapper
KELLY: And buying candy!
BETH: No (Smiling)
KELLY: Are you coming home tonight? Rosie was waiting for you to read her a bedtime story but she fell asleep already
BETH: Oh, I'm sorry. I wont be long. I promise
KELLY: Okay. I love you
There was a silence for a few seconds
BETH: I love you too
KELLY: You had me worried there
BETH: See you soon
Beth hung up then began to eat her Mars Bar. As she started up the car a phone call came through from Mark.
MARK: Hey beautiful!
BETH: I don't feel very beautiful
MARK: Well you are. Are you still out and about?
BETH: Yeah, I've just filled up at a gas station
MARK: That car must eat up gas!
BETH: It does! But i'd never be without it! It was the first car i bought after winning the lottery!
MARK: My first car was a Rolce Royce! (laughing)
BETH: Yuk! That's an old mans car! (laughing)
Mark laughed with her
MARK: It was chauffeur driven!
BETH: You're so posh!
Mark laughed again
BETH: Thank you for talking to me like normal
MARK: Like normal ?
BETH: Without mentioning anything
MARK: Sure. Are you and Kelly alright?
BETH: I hope so.......I love talking to you ......
MARK: I love talking to you too. You want to meet up for a coffee?
BETH: What? Tonight?
MARK: Yeah
BETH: I can't , I need to get back home. I already missed Rosie's bedtime story and I feel bad
MARK: Another time then?
BETH: Yeah, that would be good. I need to go, night
MARK: Night Beth
Beth hung up and sighed
BETH: Fuck! (quietly) what am i doing?
When Beth got home Kelly was lying on the couch on his phone. He sat up when he saw her.
BETH: I'm gonna go up and give Rosie a kiss
KELLY: You want anything to eat?
BETH: No, i had a Mars Bar
Kelly smiled to himself.
Beth stopped outside Ellie'e bedroom door and nearly broke down. She slumped onto the floor and leaned on the wall. She must've been there for a good ten minutes until Kelly found her. He sat on the floor next to her.
