“Is Nate sleeping?”  Amy asked

“Yep did you forget about Dinner” Bette asked un amused

“Sugar I did im sorry”

“That’s not good enough it was your brother’s birthday Amz” Bette stated

“Mama I got carried away at work im sorry ill make it up to him” Amy said

“What’s more important work or your family” Bette snapped

“Look im sorry!” Amy snapped as she went to her room

“Baby that was a bit harsh…She has a lot on her mind the now” Tina said

“T I told her before she left dinner was at four” Bette stated

Amy sat on the edge of her bed she picked up a note pad and her guitar. She strummed away jotting some stuff down.

“She’s had a bad night” Tina said

“How do you know?”

“She’s playing her guitar” Tina answered “She only plays the acoustic when she’s writing and that doesn’t sound like a party dance she’s writing” Tina said

Bette started to feel guilty

“Maybe I was hard on her”

“Well considering she’s twenty one in a few weeks and your giving her a dinner time baby I think you were just a little” Tina smiled

And hour later and Amy came out her room going into the kitchen to get herself a can of diet cola.

“How did work go earlier were you not suppose to just sign a few things” Tina asked

“Yep then Jacqui lost the head at me” Amy said as she made her way back to her room she was just about to go into it.

“Sweetheart come and talk to us” Bette said

Amy sighed and walked over sitting on the seat near the fire.

“Im sorry for snapping at you I was out of line” Bette apologised

“It’s ok I deserved it, it was Nathan’s birthday diner it only happens once a year.” Amy said

“What happened?” Tina asked

“I tried to talk to her like you told me to but she thought I was going to tell her it was a mistake and she put her walls up straight away” Amy explained

“Im sure she’ll calm down honey” Bette said

“I think ive blew it if im honest” Amy sighed

“I don’t…She just needs time to calm down she probably got hurt a little bit” Tina said

“I need to get her to hear me out…But right now she doesn’t want to” Amy stated

“She will when she’s ready don’t corner her or anything honey just let her calm down first” Tina advised

“Yeah thanks for the advice…Im off to bed” Amy said hugging them both

Bette and Tina looked at each other.

“Part of growing up I suppose” Bette said

“Yep” Tina agreed pulling Bette up from the sofa “Bed time for us”

Bette smiled as she got up and turned the TV off and all the lights following Tina into the bedroom.
