Chapter Twenty.

“Apparently Erica’s coming today.” Jack commented two morning’s later “And Joseph’s coming tomorrow, or the day after. It’s apparently something for dad’s birthday coming up in two weeks.”

“Great.” Martha said sighing.

“It’ll be alright. Don’t worry, I won’t leave you.” He assured her.

“Thanks.” She said gratefully.

---------------

“Hello?” Came a quiet voice from the doorway later that day, and a brunette head appeared in the doorway of Martha’s hospital room.

Martha looked at the door, a slight look of confusion coming across her face “Hello.” She answered, looking at the woman who entered the room.

“Are you Martha Holden?” She asked her, pausing near the doorway.

“Yes I am.” She replied, still not knowing who she was.

“I’m Erica Davies, Jack’s aunt.” She said, smiling at Martha.

“Oh Erica, hi!” She said, unsurely motioning her in.

“I heard about your injury. Are you alright?” She asked her.

“Yeah.” She mumbled.

“What’s wrong? It’s a bad injury but I’m sure you’ll battle through.” Erica encouraged her.

“Wait, you don’t care that I’m basically an invalid?” Martha asked, surprised.

“Why would I?” She asked, confused.

“It’s just that, um.” Martha started, unsure of whether she should continue.

“Oh, let me guess, Jane’s been targeting you?” She said, rolling her eyes.

“How’d you guess.” She said with a sigh, relieved that Erica didn’t appear to have a problem with her.

“That’s always been Jane’s way. But Tony’s always been unable to see it, and Joseph takes her view. It’s strange.” She shrugged “It’s just their way. It happened to Jane after our parents died, when I was only 12. She had to raise the three of us. She dropped out of school and became quite prim and proper. I guess it was because she met some friends who were rather stuck up, and they took her in and turned her like that. There isn’t really anything we can do, and also mum and dad were pretty stuck up.” She admitted “But that gives her no right to discriminate against you, I must admit.” She said.

“Thanks.” Martha replied gratefully.

“No worries.” She said, looking around the room “You’ve got a pretty bright room. Obviously you’re popular.” She said, admiring a bunch of flowers from someone.

“I guess I must be.” She said, also looking at the flowers, from Jack.

“Erica.” Tony said, sounding stunned.

“Tony.” She said simply.

Martha noticed the tension in the air as she looked from Tony to Erica. Something obviously had happened.

“What are you doing here?” Tony said unevenly.

“I’m here for the birthday celebrations Tony.” She replied.

“Well you’re not welcome to them.” He said coldly.

“Well I’m staying.” She said with a shrug “Jack’s birthday is soon after yours and I know I’ll be welcome with him at least. He’s my nephew.” She said calmly.

“She is welcome dad.” Jack said from the doorway, his arms folded.

“No she’s not Jack!” Tony tried to persuade his son.

“She’s the only person from your family who has supported Martha’s condition.” He snapped.

“Everyone has!” Tony protested.

“No they haven’t! Jane’s been the number one bitch to her, and you haven’t noticed!” Jack said loudly, moving beside Martha’s bed and taking her hand as he sat on the bed.

----------

“Jack what a pleasant surprise.” Jane said to him, smiling as she cut up the salad for lunch.

“It’s not a social visit. I just came to tell you to stay the hell away from me.” He spat at her “You’ve been so rude and unjust to my wife that I find it so unbelievable to comprehend. And stay away from the kids, Martha, Luc and Belle. Why Luc and Belle? Because Luc wants nothing to do with you. And tell Joseph that if he can’t accept Martha than he shouldn’t come near us!” He said loudly and coldly, before storming out.

PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW!
