Nathan stopped what he was doing and turned to his sister

“How is that possible…you live together”

Amy stopped hanging clothes and looked at him “When im working she’s sleeping when im at home she’s working, it’s ridiculous, it’s at the point I need to schedule an appointment to see her…Anyway why am I discussing this with you…Your 12.”

Nathan laughed “You love me, trust me and im smart for 12…admit it”

Amy smiled throwing a pillow at her brother “Yes ok”

They both got back to tidying.

Ashley walked into Jacqui’s office and sat down.

“Have a seat” Jacqui stated sarcastically

“Oh intend too” Ashley smiled “What’s with all the overtime your doing?”

“What you mean?”

“Don’t play dumb Jacqui I’m not stupid, your hours are ridiculous quite frankly I don’t know why your not ill, is something going on?”

“No, I’m just keeping busy” Jacqui admitted

“Why? Amy must be going nuts? I know I would be”

“I don’t even think she’s noticed to be honest” Jacqui sighed

“Oh shut up, she’s not blind…What is going on?”

“Nothing…Ashley if I want to do overtime I will…I decide!”

“Not anymore, I’m cutting your hours…you’ll thank me in the long haul” Ashley said getting up

“You can’t do that?” Jacqui snapped

“Yes I can…and I am!” Ashley stated leaving Jacqui’s office

Jacqui ran her hands through her hair and sighed.

“Done” Nathan smiled “Maybe she’ll lighten up now and relax”

“Ha not going to happen…It’s mum I feel sorry for…she’s off today and all she’s probably done is tidy or help Mama with her winter clean”

“I know…I can understand if the house was a mess but it’s not…she’s being a diva” Nathan stated

“right let’s get out of here” Amy smiled

“Where we going?” Nathan asked

“Sports court, I’m in the mood to shoot some hoops” Amy said getting up “Just need to go get changed”

“Cool” Nathan lifted his phone “let’s go”

They left Nathan’s room

“Hey mum I’m taking Nathan with me for a few hours” Amy smiled
