Tina: Great! don’t be shy pull up a chair.

The group enjoys a good lunch and some conversation. And after lunch is eaten Becky takes Rachel and Andrew so Mary can explain the situation to her parents.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Mary was now sitting at the table alone with her 2 moms she was trying to figure out where to begin with trying to explain this whole mess.

Tina: Mary is everything okay?

Mary: Well not really.

Bette: You are looking so sad tell us what is wrong we want to help you.

Mary: Well for starters I told David today that I want a divorce.

Tina: You did? I didn’t know things were THAT bad with the two of you.

Mary: They were NEVER really good I was just hoping for some miracle or something I dunno. But I have run out of patience and things are NOT getting any better so I don’t want to continue pretending to be happy. I want to get away from him and all his hostility.

Bette: Tell me he hasn’t hit you?

Mary: No he never hit me just yelled and made me feel like everything I did wasn’t good enough.

Tina: Oh Mary dear why did you not tell us this before?

Mary: I dunno I was ashamed and ambarrassed I tought that keeping the so called family together was the best thing.

Bette: How did David take the news of you wanting a divorce?

Mary: Well not good he refused to listen to me and said he wasn’t gonna sign any divorce papers. Then he left the house in a hurry.

Tina: If David can’t treat you right then he doesn’t deserve you.

Mary: I know Mom Becky tells me that ALL the time.

Bette: Becky is a good friend.

Mary: Yes she is a very good friend I dunno what I would have done If I didn’t have her to talk to.

Tina: Now Mary you know you can ALWAYS call your moms anytime anyday we would be glad to help you any way we can we love you.

Mary: I do know that and I am so glad you are both here now. I need to go back to my house to pack some things I don’t wanna stay at that house again until he is out of there it gets more and more unbearable everytime I am at that house.

Bette: Well you aren’t going back there alone we are coming with you.

Mary: Thank-you I love you both. I am gonna call becky now to see if she can pick us up and drive us to the house.

As Mary is trying to call her friend she feels a chill go up her spine as she notices Jessicca come out from the door leading to the restaurants kitchen and she is frozen in her seat as she sees this beautiful green eyed woman walking towards her table wearing a cooks uniform.

Jessicca: Hi mary how are you?
