dolly-999 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 Chapter number 24. The same kind of gosip Martha lay awake in her bed unable to sleep, so much was on her mind at the moment, after dinner her and her mum had had a long chat about Jack, Cam and Ash. She'd come to a decision, she had to sort out her life, and to do that she needed to get Cam and Jack out of her life so she could think about things propperly, even though she loved both of them dearly, she needed to do this. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Next day: Cindy stood infront of the sink in the kitchen, a glass in her hand, frozen on the spot and completely lifeless. The sun had only just come up in the new day, not that she'd noticed, and birds were starting to be heard in the distance that were like a ringing sound on her ears. “What time did you get in last night?” a voice made her jump, pulling her suddenly out of her ouw little world and making the glass in her fingertips slip, hitting the floor with one loud smash. “Cam don't do that to me” she exclaimed, catching her breath from the scare. “Sorry, didn't mean to give you such a fright” he appologised, moving into the kitchen and getting the broom out of a cupboard. “Are you alright?” “Not really no” she sighed watching as he got down and swept the shattered glass off the cold tiles that covered the floor. “I went and saw Greg last night” she explained. “Greg?” Cam questioned, he hated her going to see him, anything could happen with that kind of guy, “why were you seeing him by yourself?” “You were busy, I didn't want to bother you”. “Yeah well you should of, no wonder your so on edge, did he do something to you, did he hurt you?” he asked worrying, putting the glass in the bin and placing a arm around her shoulder. “No, he didn't” she reasured him. “What then?” “He's going overseas” she lied, “undercover”. “And?” “He thinks we should do the same” she continued, he was buying her whole story hook line and sinker, “Well actually he pretty much told me we had to” she finnished, she couldn't tell him that she'd killed him, not after the way she'd got stuck into him fro killing Trent, she'd end up being the hipocryt. “Well what's so bad about that then?” he smiled, for a minute there he thought it would be something much more serious with the way she was acting. “I don't know, I guess the lack of sleep's just getting to me” she shrugged it off. “Well, go back to bed then” he told her. “Yes sir” she giggled, trying to act as normal as possible till she was around the corner and out of his sight where she started crying as she walked down the stairs and towards her bedroom. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* “Hey” Ruth smiled as she came into the dinner and sat oposite Pete who had been waiting for her. “Hey” he grinned back at her, he was glad she was back in the bay things just hadn't been the same since the day when Roo left for New York and he left for the city to become a detective. “So tell me what's changed around this place then?” she asked as she picked up a menu off the middle of the table. “Oh well” he thought, “not much really, still a fairly sleepy old town with the local gosipers and rebelious teenagers” he chuckled, “not much as really changed”. “Yeah well that's good to heard, wouldn't be Summer bay if it was any different”. “True” Peter nodded, “One thing that has changed though is these menu's” he said as he picked up one. “And thank God for that” Roo sighed, “Remember when Dad and Alisha owned this place?” “Sadly yes” he answered remembering back to what the diner food was like when the two of them were growing up in their teen years, they'd spent a lot of time there and Roo's step mum had them both asigned as her taste testers. “I can still remember the taste of that stuff she made us try on Anzac day when we were fourteen” he chuckled slightly. “Oh don't even remind me” she exclaimed, closing her eyes and shaking her head to try and erase the taste from her mind. “I can't believe she actually thought that stuff tasted alright. But then again me and her never really did agree on much”. “Aww isn't it nice to see the two of you in the one place” a voice interupted. Both looking around the found it was none other than Madge Wilkinson . Looking back at eachother Ruth and Peter both rolled their eyes. “Well it's good to see you too madge” Roo lied. “Yeah still alive and kicking I see” Peter added. “Yes very much so” Madge went on, not noticing how unhappy the pair were to see her. “I presume the two of you are pretty close to getting married now afterall this time, and with the baby that's probably all grown up, it's about time-” “No, no, no Madge I think your a bit mixed up” Roo stopped her, she could see what Pete ment by all the usual gosip queens still being around, she just didn't think he ment it as literally as Madge Wilkinson. When Roo and Pete were growing up a lot of the time people used to say how one day they would get married and be the perfect couple, but they both insisted that it would never happen, they were like brother and sister, not boyfriend and girlfriend. The rumours never died down either, after the two of them finished school and moved out of home, they decided to rent a flat together which worked fine for them, it saved money and ment they could help eachother out with staying on task with Uni stuff. But the local's didn't see it that way, soon enough the new rumours were out without them even noticing and everyone was convinced that Roo was pregnant and that the two of them were engaged. “What? Your not getting married?” “No” Peter answered, “And we never had a baby ether” he added. “I'm sure you two did, I remember Ruth being pregnant” she insisted. “Madge, I had Brett's baby, not Pete's” Roo told her. “Oh” she sighed, not seeming too happy, “you mean Brett Macklin”. “Yeah that's him”. “Yeah I saw him outside, I just hope his not staying in town for two long, Mr Stuart would have a fit if he knew the mungrel was in town” she trailed off as she walked over to talk to Colleen. “Brett's in town hey?” Pete raised his eyebrows, not looking impressed. “Yeah” Roo answered a little uneasily. “Pete don't start, please”. “Look I'm just worried, you know what happened last time he was in your life”. “He's changed” she argued. “Yeah I've heard that one before” he scoffed. “Look I know you don't like him, and I know who he used to be, ok. But just cause he's in my life again doesn't mean that I'm going to hop back into bed with the guy, he's just a friend”. Peter just bit his toungue and nodded, he wasn't convinced.
puja Posted July 9, 2007 Report Posted July 9, 2007 I think Martha should remove Cam from her life, and only Cam. Jack on the other hand, he should stay and help Martha get her life sorted Cindy's a really good liar. But, I'm liking her trail of thought; they should definately leave. The sooner Cam leaves and is out of Martha's life, the better!

dolly-999 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 Can we pretty please have some JnM scenes soon soon, not this chapter though sorry. Chapter number 25. Affected by her? Tony stretched his arms out as he walked through the lounge room, yet another sunny morning in Summer bay and once again he'd slept through his alarm clock. “Morning dad” Jack greeted him as he poked his head out from the kitchen as the smell of fresh coffee began wafting through the room. “Hey” he replied making his way past the couch and into the kitchen to join him, you've cheered up since last night” he commented about his son's sudden change in behaviour, not that he was complaining about Jack being happier, but he didn't usually go from that sad to this happy overnight. “Yeah, sorry about going off at you, you didn't desurve that” he appologised. “Look it's fine, you obviously needed to blow some steam off, I can understand that”. “Yeah but I still shouldn't of taken it out on you like that”. “Jack it's fine, I'm just glad you've cheered up a bit” Tony reasured him. “So you slept with Martha then?” “Yeap” Jack sighed, taking a sip of coffee, “Yeah I know it was stupid. She's going throught a hard time and I'm going through a hard time and it just kinda happened”. Tony just nodded, listening to his son's regrets. “Did it mean anything? Between you and Martha I mean?” Jack shook his head, “no, we were both just a mess. Her with the...” he paused remembering that his dad never knew about the abortion, “just some stuff, and me with Sam and Rory. I guess we just didn't think. I wasn't anyones fault, it was just one of those things that happens and theirs nothing you can do about it” he sighed. “Come on Jack, who are you trying to kid? You and me both know you've always been affected by Martha-”. “No dad, used to be affected by her” Jack corrected him, “When I was with Sam, I really ment it when I said I could see a future without Martha, it hasn't changed either. Yes we used to have something special, but that's all in the past”. “Fair enough” Tony nodded, not completely convinced, but then again it was probably cause he'd always seen Martha as a part of their family even after she'd split up with Jack. “Anyway I better get to work” Jack told him, “I'll see you later”. “Yeah se you”. -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Martha took in a deep breath as she reached the front door of the rocket club. She'd managed to avoid this place for a while, but she couldn't for much longer, she hasd to face things, and that ment coming here. Looking around from the spot she stood on she saw a group of men passing by the bouncers thst guarded the front door, they were regulars, ones she knew all to well, but then again their weren't really any regulars she didn't know. Getting herself together again she walked th the door saying hey to David, (one of the bouncers) as she passed by. The place was pretty crouded for a morning, normally a croud this size would turn up at night. “Is Cam in?” she asked Amy who was washing up some glasses behind the bar. “I'm not sure” she shrugged, “he might be but I haven't seen him in the last hour” she explained. “So where have you been lately? Some of the guys have been asking when you were going to dance next”. 'That's just great' Martha told herself sarcastically, she was starting to feel a little uneasy, people had been asking about her? “My mum's been in town and she brought my dad with her, I've never met him before, so I've been spending some time with him” she told her. “Oh ok, that must be exciting”. “Yeah it is” she smiled, trying not to sound like she didn't want to be here. Truth was if she wasn't here to quit then she would of run for the door already, actually she wouldn't of even been back here in the first place. “Hey” Cam's voice grabbed her attention from behind, “I was just about to come and see you”. “Really?” she exclaimed, this was going to be harder than she origanally thought. “Yeah I need to talk to you about something” he suddenly turned more serious. “Well funny that cause theres something I need to talk to you about too” she nodded. “Alright well how about we go up to my office then?” “Yeah sounds good” she agreed grabbing his hand and following him throught the crowds and up the stairs that lead to the quieter part of the club. Next time: -Cam and Martha talk -Pete has a chat with Brett
