Ashley:"...You know wot I mean Alex. Wot, am I supposed to just shoot the shit ferever, but when issues come up just act loik I 'ave no opinion? Or not share them? Not 'appening me boy. Not anymore."

Alexis takes out her flip camera and tapes everyone in the limo.

Alexis: Hey everyone, smile and say hi.

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 5:52 pm

The frustration of the day is about to break Alex in two.

Alex: Look..... Ashley..... I've tried to warn you about this before..... My family has no interest in forgiving you..... but despite what you may be feeling..... my father has tried his absolute best to be civil to you.... I'm truly sorry if that isn't enough for you...... but it is the absolute best he can muster.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 6:11 pm

Its Ashley instead who shows his frustration

Ashley:"Oh fer....Alex...THIS is exactly wot I mean.

he practically yells the next words, emphasizing every individual word

I.Do.Not.Want.Your.Families.Forgiveness.

Wot I'm talking about isn't fecking FORGIVENESS. Feck that. Wot I'm talkin' about is being able to show my side of a story without somebody pointing me faults out. I don't give a shite about fergiveness because I know nobody will ever mean it if they did say they accepted an apology from me. Im not wasting me foking breath on that anymore. So please, try listening and realize that.
I even TOLD you that just moments ago, didn't I? But now you say the exact same thing to me. "No interest in forgiving you" I DON'T FECKING CARE ANYMORE! I stopped wanting that a LONG time ago. But evidently the only reason you all think I open me g'damn mouth is to ask fer forgiveness and with that you automatically don't listen to wot I 'ave to say. You just go right into that same old tale I've 'eard over and over again.
I GET IT. And I don't give a shite.
Alroit now go on and bring out all the feckin' faults in wot I just said. Thats 'ow this always works isn't it? Thats the fecking patten o'things. The same bullshite thats been going on fer the past TWENTY years. Both sides wanting to just get that last word in.
But...to quote something I read somewhere...apologzing does not always mean that yer wrong and the other person is right. It just means that you value yer relationship more then your FECKING EGO.
Think about THAT fer a second before you respond."

he sips his coffee, which is now bitterly cold and sits down, waiting for the storm he knows is coming

Alex should have snapped long ago.... His fists are clenched veins popping out of his neck. He's shaking. Thinking of Alexis over and over in his mind to restrain himself. The word barely escape his mouth.

Alex: I have done..... nothing to you..... nothing...... so wind your fucking neck in..... and take your own advice...... listen.

...... you accuse us of not listening...... but you didn't listen to a fucking word I said.....

"MY FATHER HAS TRIED HIS ABSOLUTE BEST TO BE CIVIL TO YOU"

....the thing you are asking for.... you are recieving to the best of our ability.....

and as regards your self righteous little line about valuing the relationship more....... well no shit sherlock..... my family have made it quite clear they want NOTHING to do with you.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 6:48 pm

Ashley:"And yet you STILL go on about me apparent quest fer forgiveness. You know wot..this is going nowhere...loik always...I'm taking a walk."

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 6:55 pm

Akex: Yeah.... probably to the nearest pub...

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 7:04 pm

Ashley:the ell you just say?

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 7:16 pm

Alex stands and gets right in Ashley's face. Smiling.

Alex: I said..... probably to the nearest pub.....

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 8:30 pm

Ashley smirks

Ashley:"Alroit then...come on. My treat. And go get yer dad. I'll pay fer 'im too."

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 8:39 pm

Alex takes a deep breath, putting his temper back in it's cage for now.

Alex: My dad has taken my mother home... I don't drink.... so pubs are wasted on me..... and well.... I'm not sure a pub is really a healthy environment for you..... do you?

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 8:51 pm

Ashley:"Why would it be?"

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 8:54 pm

Alex sighs.

Alex: Because you're a recovering alcoholic Ashley.... the first thing a counsellor will tell you is to stay the hell away from pubs.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 9:00 pm

Ashley:"Uh huh. Well I'm glad to see me son in law is supportive and not trying to use me addiction to get under me skin."

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 9:03 pm

Alex: Look.... I'm sorry..... it's just.... well... let's just say my bad day started long before all this bullshit with Caley kicked off.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 9:07 pm

Ashley:"Wotever Alex. There are certain areas I would expect you of all people to not go. Apparently I was wrong."

Cruel Britannia Mon Mar 28, 2011 9:50 pm

Alex's eyes go dead. He's given up.

Alex: That's it..... I'm done..... You know what think what you want about me..... I don't care.

He turns and goes.

Jabberwocky Mon Mar 28, 2011 9:56 pm

Ashley:"...Alex..."

he sighs and looks up

Ashley:"Bloody 'ell..."

Alexis swings the camera around to Amanda, but turns it off when she sees the expression on her best friend's face.

Alexis: What's wrong?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:22 am

Amanda: Eugh..... it's not me..... it's Alex...... he's about ready to kill somebody.

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:26 am

Alexis groans.

Alexis: Who all was there when you guys left?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:29 am

Amanda shrugs.

Amanda: Just your dad.... and Shawn of course.

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:32 am

Alexis rubs her forehead.

Alexis: Oh no... didn't you say you and dad got into it?

Cruel Britannia Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:35 am

Amanda: Yeah.... your dad was on another one of his trips about how unfairly my family's treating him..... Alex was the one who stopped us fighting though......

Pockets Tue Mar 29, 2011 11:37 am

Alexis: You don't think Alex got into it with Shawn do you?
