A Life Plan Without You.
Page 75
I had a long hot soak and did my hair I loving actually having nice hair to play with. Adam would be here soon. I went for plain underwear, no sexy stuff and the new dress, along with the new cream shoes. I put my photo in the bag along with my keys and purse, lippy, mints and tissues. I waited on my friend to call for me. He was on time and I went down to meet him. Wow, he looked gorgeous and so nice. Why had he taken so long to see me as someone other than My-isshy the tomboy?
Back then he only thought of me as one of the lads, this could have be so, so different. Life with him would be a lot less stressful, it would be stable and he loved me. I still loved Sam though, that was the problem, but trying to fill the gap Sam had left, with Adam wasn’t what I wanted, nor was it fair on Adam.
“You look really nice Michelle, are you ready?” I nodded and smiled at him.
“See you later Mum.” He held the door open and shut it after him.
“Thanks for this Adam I really need to get out of that house. It’s driving me mad.” He held my hand.
“I feel your pain Michelle my house is the same, is this all right?” I laughed.
“Bit late you’re already doing it.” He moved it to around my shoulder.
“Do you fancy going for a drink first, then the pictures, coke for Mum, though?” I smiled.
“I only drink that, I learnt my lesson the hard way it’s a bit boring coming out with me Adam.” I asked him about his work life and we chatted all the way up to The Frog, his local too, when he was in town.
“Michelle is this one all right for you?” I said it was and we went in, laughing and joking as we stepped through the doors. Shit Paul was in, drunk and throwing daggers at me.
“Adam, can we leave please now.” He didn’t ask why, he just held my hand and we went to the George.
“Sorry, that was Paul, drinks for sex Paul, my awful stalker and Sam’s attacker.” We sat down with our drinks. I told him all about Paul and how weird, he had been with me. Everything including me thinking it was he who put Sam in hospital and nearly killing him.
“The same day I tell him he doesn’t stand a chance, because I still love Sam and that he still loves me, Sam gets attacked? Perhaps Sam was coming to tell me he still loved me. I can see him standing his ground, especially after everything that we went through and all the crap with his dad. Sorry you didn’t bring me out for this.” I smiled.
“I brought you out as a friend. Talk about him he makes you smile, and that’s what friends do right, talk? You don’t have a lot of actual evidence, but from what you say it would be worth letting the police know of your suspicions, it all fits and makes sense. I will come with you and talk to someone, it can’t do any harm and you could be right and if that’s the case he needs to be away from you, it seems My-isshy he still has a thing for you.” I held his hand as we talked.
“I think, no I know I was so, so stupid Adam. I messed up big time, getting him injured and now my baby won’t have her Father, all because I messed up. All for being too bloody stupid and not waiting for him to get better. I knew I should have, but shit he made me so angry turning up with that bitch. I saw red and wanted to hurt him as he had me.
Using that nutter was a fucking big mistake and having hindsight and all that crap would have been a help, shit Adam what do I do? I have his address and phone number? I wouldn’t want him to think I was trapping him with her our Bump?” Paul had followed us and he was now in the George. We finished our drinks and left whilst he was still at the bar.
“Quick back to The Frog, he’d think we wouldn’t go back there. Michelle, your baby will be fine, and my offer hasn’t got a time limit on it, but we see the police tomorrow, he’s a nutter all right.” We ran, hand in hand to the pub and rushed inside quickly. I was laughing at Adam, he had his arms around my waist, and I turned as I got in the door. Oh hell, the man at the bar…
“Adam can we go please, now...” He looked up and saw him too. Sam was with Andy and Zoë at the bar. Blabber mouth Zoë, shit I will kill her later.
“Shit, he didn’t come to look for you Michelle he came to get away from these.” I was in major panic mode now. I was about to turn and walk out, but Paul was behind us. Adam held me tighter and walked me to a table away from them I was cornered by both my stalkers.
“It seems Adam; you may have been wrong in your reasoning, don’t apply for being a detective in the navy, your crap at guessing mate. I need a stiff drink can I have a coke please, throw in a slice of lemon, I have a feeling I will be sucking on one in a bit? I feel really weird Adam. I haven’t eaten all day.” He held on to me and made me sit at a table, I needed a sugar rush, I felt so funny, no I needed to get out of here and now…

The last thing I remembered was the kick to my face and someone ripping the chain from my neck and that laugh, when I woke up it was in a hospital bed. Andy by my side and Aunty was waiting by the window Jimmy was asleep in a chair.
“He’s awake, Aunty quick get the doctor.” Feeling in a bit of pain, I ached, what had happened, why was I here? The room went blurry and oh, my head hurt. I had machines hooked up to my chest and tubes in my arms. I had a plaster cast on both my leg and my arm, and boy my head hurt, where is Michelle was she hurt too, how did I get hurt why am I here?
