Title: A fathers Sacrifice. The End Tribute added
Post by: flid on July 05, 2006, 04:43:52 pm
Here is my sims story.

Morgan was 13 when she killed a man to protect her mother. Her fathe took the blame and went to prison.

Morgan sat on her bed and looked out of the window. She sighed deeply and shrank into herself. Silent tears spilled inside her. It was the evening of her birthday. Neither of her parents had come to see her. She hadn’t even received a card. She looked down at her hands remembering how they had destroyed her family. That one act of protection had ended everything good in her life. How she wished she could turn back time.

The last she heard her father was in prison for a crime that she had done. She pictured him in her head. Alone in some dingy prison cell all because of her and what she had done. She wanted to feel his strong protective arms around her like when she was little. She loved the scent of him. Closing her eyes she imagined the smell of his aftershave. He always wore it. She remembered the feel of his slightly whiskered chin against her cheek and how he used to tickle her face with it on purpose when she was small.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/2.jpg)

She would never again have that because she had protected her mother. She remembered watching her mother being beaten by that man. His face twisted in anger and her mother on the floor trying to protect her-self. He would have killed her if she hadn’t have stepped in. She saw herself running into her father’s room and grabbing the gun that she knew he kept in the wardrobe. She had seen enough to know how to load it. Not thinking like the child she was she had gone back to the hall where mother was being attacked, closed her eyes and fired. It wasn’t until he fell to the floor that she had realised what she had done.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/3.jpg)

Her body had started shaking uncontrollably and the tears just fell. Her father was at the door. She turned towards him. She remembered the horror in his eyes. Her mother still down on the floor, looking at her with total shock.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/4.jpg)

Morgan took a deep breath and forced her memories away from that night. She didn’t want to remember; she didn’t want that to be the last image she had of her parents. She missed them both deeply, but she knew she would never see them again. If she could just tell them both she was sorry.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/5.jpg)


 She had asked over and over again if she could see her mother or if she had called, but always the answer had been the same. “No”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/6.jpg)

Isabelle, her foster carer was nice enough. She ran a house full of kids from many sad and different backgrounds. Occasionally Isabelle had tried to console Morgan, but she didn’t want it. She wanted her father; she wanted to turn the clock back. She wanted to be small and innocent again.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/7.jpg)

Morgan pulled the covers over her and closed her eyes. The tears running coldly down the side of her face. She breathed slowly trying to make it all better, but it never would be, ever. She was tainted. She was a murderer, no better than the man she had killed.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/8.jpg)

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

Morgan opened her eyes, she squinted her sleep filled eyes trying to adjust to the dark. She sat up slowly on the bed; she didn’t want to make any noise. She reached down at her feet and found the bag the she had packed earlier. This was it now. She turned on her small bedside light gently illuminating the room. Quietly she eased her wardrobe open and changed into jeans. She gave the bag one last check to make sure that she had everything she needed. Tip toeing she crept to her door and twisted the handle. The door creaked open and Morgan looked silently down the dark hallway. She closed the door behind her, making sure that it was gentle enough so that it didn’t click too loud.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/9.jpg)

Quietly she walked along the side of the hall. Alex and Ethan’s room was only two away from her own, and she wasn’t going to leave with out them. She slung the backpack over her shoulder and crept into the twins’ room.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/10.jpg)

Looking down at both of them she knew she was doing the right thing. They couldn’t stay here, they need their mother, and they needed her. She bent down over Ethan’s cot and gently lifted him out. Slowly she put his coat on. He stirred slightly in her arms, but she hushed him back into his dream.
 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/11.jpg)

Morgan froze as she heard another door not far away open. Her heart pounded in her chest as she listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer. Holding Ethan to her chest she looked quickly at Alex. She couldn’t carry both of them at once.
Tears fell down her face as she leant over Alex’s cot.
“I’ll come back for you Alex.” She whispered. “I promise.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/12.jpg)

Pushing back the voice in her head that screamed for her to take Alex, she climbed out of the window with Ethan in her arms. She held him close to her and ran. She needed to get away before anyone knew that she had gone. She felt the fear running up her spine as she ran. Sure that if she looked back she would see someone coming after her.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/13.jpg)

She ran for as long as she could. Ethan was awake and crying as his sister clutched him tight. He was cold and tired. Morgan’s chest was heaving badly trying to get the air in that she needed to run. Stopping she crouched down with Ethan.
“Ssshhh Ethan, its Morgan. Everything’s alright.”
Ethan calmed a little as he heard his sister’s voice. She reached in her bag and got a tissue to wipe his tears.
“Let’s go and find mummy shall we?” she said trying to cheer him up. She knew he didn’t quite understand, but the statement was as much for her benefit as his.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/14.jpg)

Morgan picked Ethan up again, but her body protested and pain shot through her legs as cramp took over. Weekly she managed to walk over to the bench and sit down with Ethan. She gently ran her hand through his soft brown locks, as she rocked him, hoping that he would go back to sleep.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/15.jpg)

“Morgan!” a voice called from the distance.
Morgan sprang to her feet her heart suddenly hammering again. She turned to look into the darkness. Trying to adjust her eyes to see who was running towards her. Turning around she tried to see if there was somewhere to run too.
“Morgan wait!” The voice called closer this time. She let out a scared gasp. She couldn’t fail, not now.
Ethan woke up again in her arms.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/16.jpg)

A hand rested on her shoulder.
“Morgan, will you stop?” said the voice between exhausted breaths.
Morgan stepped back. Adam stood there in front of her, bent down and gasping for air.
“Leave me alone Adam.”
Adam straightened himself and put his hand on his stomach trying to relieve the stitch. “Where are you going?” he asked.
“Home.”
“You can’t go home.”
“Why cant I?”
“Your father killed someone right?” he asked.
She clenched her jaw, the bluntness of his statement cut right through her.
“Your home is a crime scene; you won’t be able to go home.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/17.jpg)

Morgan hadn’t thought that her home wouldn’t be home anymore. The thought of returning to it had kept her going. Without it she had nowhere to go, no one to turn too. Tears threatened to fall as she desperately tried to think what to do. She looked down at Ethan. His eyes focused on her. Totally dependant.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/18.jpg)

“I can’t go back.” She said her voice quivering. “They’ll take me away from Ethan and Alex.”
Adam ran his hands through his short blonde hair as he thought what to suggest.
“Do you know where your mother may have gone? Does she have friends or family that she may have turned to?”
“She could have gone to my uncles, but he was living with us before I er…” she stopped herself before she blurted out what she had done. She didn’t want anyone to know she was a murderer.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/19.jpg)

“Ok.” Said Adam hoping that he was getting somewhere. “Does your uncle have a house of his own that they may have gone to?”
Morgan bit her lip to keep from sobbing. She nodded at Adam. “But I don’t know the address.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/20.jpg)

Adam reached for her, not sure if she would push him away. He didn’t like to see people cry. It reminded him too much of his own pain that he had quenched years ago.
“Come on Morgan, don’t cry. We’ll figure something out.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/21.jpg)

Adam led Morgan back to the bench and sat her down.
“Do you know which area your uncle lives in?”
Morgan wiped the tears from her face and tried to calm her self before she spoke. “He lives just outside of Imperial Town. I would recognise it if I saw it.”
“Well that’s a start isn’t it?” He said smiling, hoping that he could some how cheer her up and get her concentrating on the task ahead.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/22.jpg)

“Why are you helping me? You should go back before you get in trouble.” She said hoping that he wouldn’t.
“I am sixteen; already they have started to teach me how to be independent. Soon I will be living out in the world on my own, I am quite sure they won’t really care where I am.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/23.jpg)

Morgan heard the hint of sarcasm in his statement. “But won’t they inform your parents.”
“Oh yeah I could just see my fathers reply to that one.” Adam laughed. “What's it to do with me? He didn’t come from my loins, let the bleeder rot for all I care.” He said in a voice mocking his fathers. “Do you really think if I had a family who loved me I would be living this crappy life? My father doesn’t want me, and he wouldn’t give a damn if I was dead in some gutter somewhere.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/24.jpg)

“Well my parents love me and they would care but I am still stuck in the same ‘crappy life’ as you put it.” Snapped Morgan.
“Ah look I’m sorry I didn’t mean yours don’t love you. They do, but when you have experienced my life then you would be a bit negative too. Anyway are you ready to go, my backside is getting numb sitting here and if I shiver anymore I swear I’ll break my teeth.”
Morgan laughed at his remark, and he smiled. It was his intention to get her to laugh. She didn’t know him, but she was happy to talk to him. Not like everyone else who knew that he wasn’t good enough to be spat on.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/25.jpg)

Adam reached over and took Ethan from her. “I’ll carry this one for a while.”
Morgan tired to protest scared that he might run back to the home with her brother. He saw the fear on her face. “Don’t worry, I’m only helping.”
They walked side by side; Morgan secretly kept hold of the loose tag on Ethan’s top just in case Adam did decide to run.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/26.jpg)

They walked for just over an hour. Ethan had fallen asleep, even when they had passed him too and fro between them he hadn’t woken. Morgan’s feet were aching. Cramp ran up her calf muscles, but she pushed her self on, if they stayed out in the cold they would they would all certainly catch a chill. Adam had kept her going with his silly jokes and comments.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/27.jpg)

They arrived at a run down trailer. Morgan stopped and looked at it. It was filthy and decaying where it stood. Broken furniture littered the yard that surrounded it.
“This is your dads place?” she asked.
“Yeah it was, he doesn’t live here anymore, after he dumped me in the gutter, and I mean literally, he moved so that the authorities wouldn’t have his address.”
“Nice dad.”
“Yeah, well you get used to it. At least if he isn’t here he can’t beat me.”
“He beat you?”
“Yeah but that’s another story.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/28.jpg)

Adam kicked himself mentally. He didn’t want Morgan to know his past, but he couldn’t help it from spilling out of his mouth with every joke. He didn’t want her to know what he was, he was ashamed.
He could see his father in that house. Sat there waiting for him, the smell of stale beer and a weeks worth of sweat coming from him. He hated that smell. He showered at least three times a day just so he couldn’t be reminded by his own scent.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/29.jpg)

Adam took a breath and walked towards the trailer. It had been a long time since he had been here, but he doubted it had changed. The odd rat may have moved in, but other than that the trailer was like the rest of Imperial Town. Dead, dirty and forgotten.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/30.jpg)

He grabbed the handle of the trailer door and forced the door open. Years of neglect had rotted the door so much that it broke when he pushed on it.
“Oops” he said trying to make a joke of it. “Not to worry, I’ll find a board and cover it, not like any one is going to come here.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/31.jpg)

Morgan stayed at the door. She was apprehensive about entering the trailer. She didn’t want to fall over anything with Ethan in her arms, in fact she didn’t want to go in there full stop, but she had little choice.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/32.jpg)

Adam managed to find a couple of candles in the mess in one of the draws. Pulling a lighter out of his pocket he illuminated the dark corners of the room. He looked around; it was just as he left. He could still see his childhood clothes on the floor where his father had thrown them as he was having yet another drunken rage.
“You can come in you know.” He called to Morgan.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/33.jpg)

Morgan cautiously walked into the trailer. She expected it to smell foul, but gently allowing her nostrils to take in the air all she could smell was the damp. Looking around the place was a mess. There were clothes and papers everywhere. A thick layer of dust rested on everything. She stood and watched as Adam tried to tidy the room and make it as presentable as possible.
“No rats” he joked. Morgan smiled at him. “Right, the couch is as clean as I can get it, you and Ethan take that and I’ll take the floor. In the morning we’ll head out. What do you think?”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/34.jpg)

Morgan nodded at him. She walked over to the couch to inspect it. As much as she didn’t want to put Ethan down on it, she knew she had to. Her arms were going numb with the strain of holding him for so long.
Adam saw her apprehension. “Here.” He said as he laid his coat down for Ethan to sleep on.
“Thanks.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/35.jpg)

She gently lay Ethan down; he stirred slightly, his eyes threatening to open. She stroked his hair gently soothing him back to sleep. He yawned and opened his eyes briefly.
“Close your eyes Ethan.” She whispered to him.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/36.jpg)

Morgan lay down on the floor next to Ethan and let her thoughts wonder.
“You’re not sleeping on the couch?” asked Adam.
“No I’ll let him have it. At least one of us can have a comfortable night. I don’t think I’ll sleep much anyway.”
“Oh, well I’m gonna board up this door and try to catch an hour if you don’t mind?”
“No, sure.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/37.jpg)

Morgan sat stroking Ethan’s brown hair as Adam tried to board up the open doorway as quietly as possible.
After blowing out the candles he settled him self in the chair near the door.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/38.jpg)

Cade sat in the dark cell. Lights out had been hours ago, but he couldn’t sleep. It was his daughter’s birthday. She would be thirteen. Morgan was growing up fast and everyday she looked more and more like her mother. She had the same beautiful eyes and her nose was decorated with the same gentle scattering of freckles.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/39.jpg)

He smiled as his mind went back to the time he had playful joined them up in a game of dot to dot. Mia, her mother had rolled her eyes at them, until he had pinned her down and done the same to her too.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/40.jpg)

He closed his eyes and wished her a happy birthday. He imagined holding her, watching her. She was his first born and he would do anything for her. At least she was safe at home with her mother. He hoped that she had enjoyed her birthday as best she could. He just wished he could have shared it with her too.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/41.jpg)

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

Mia slammed the phone back into its cradle. It was useless; no one would tell her anything. She had missed her daughter’s birthday the day before. The social workers refused to let her have contact until the children were assessed.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/42.jpg)

Mia had pleaded over and over to just see Morgan on her birthday, but her request had been refused. They wouldn’t even pass a card and a present onto her.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/43.jpg)

She sank down onto the couch and cried. It had been two weeks since Morgan had shot her ex husband Jimmy in a brave act of protection. Two weeks since she had seen her children and her husband. Two weeks of utter hell.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/44.jpg)

The authorities had continually fobbed her off, every day she had called and each day she had been given an excuse. Who were these people? What right did they have to deny her children the love of their mother?
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/45.jpg)

She wished Cade was with her. He was the strong one, not her. She missed him terribly, but she understood why he had taken the blame. Morgan was his first born, his daughter. He had to do it for her.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/46.jpg)

Morgan opened her eyes. Disorientated she jumped up and looked around her. Ethan lay asleep on the couch still. Memories of a few hours before came back to her and she relaxed remembering what she was doing here. She looked over to the chair for Adam, but he was gone. Pulling the board away from the door where it was propped up she looked outside and found him sat and an old barrel.
“Morning.” He said smiling at her.
“What time is it?”
“Just after 6.”
“How long have I…”
“Been asleep? Just a couple of hours. I got breakfast, you want some?” he said holding out a bread roll to her.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/47.jpg)

She hadn’t realised how hungry she was until she saw the food, her mouth started watering almost instantly and she reached for the bread. She ate it dry. Forcing the large bites down her throat, she tried to get the food inside as fast as possible.
Adam laughed at her. “I take that as a yes then.”
Morgan tried to speak but her mouth was to full, she gave him a bread filled smile and nodded.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/48.jpg)

“Did you go shopping?”
“Er sort of.”
“You mean you stole it?”
“Borrowed it.” He said winking at her.
“You shouldn’t steal.” She scolded.
“Ah come on.” He said. “It’s a big super market chain, I am sure they won’t suffer from the loss of some bread and a couple of drinks. I got the little guy a carton of milk and there’s some bread left for him too. I didn’t really know what to get him.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/49.jpg)

Morgan was annoyed at him for stealing, she just wanted to get to her family, and she didn’t want to get in trouble for stealing. She had already had her share of crime in her short life and she didn’t intend to have any more. Adam held the bread and milk out. She stood their not sure if she should take it. Ethan needed it, but it was stolen.
“You can’t let him suffer because you have morals.” Adam said thrusting the bread at her. “You better get him up, if you want to get to your uncles before dark.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/50.jpg)

Morgan reluctantly took the bread and milk and went back into the trailer to wake Ethan. Adam stayed outside. He looked up at the new morning, enjoying the sun shining down on him. It was the first time he had been able to sit outside the trailer and not have to worry about being attacked by his father. He could imagine his dad inside, passed out from the drink the night before. Cans littering the floor and the remains of a takeaway on his lap. Adam had many times tried to take what was on his fathers lap when the hunger got the better of him, but whenever his father had discovered what he was doing he had beaten Adam for it.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/51.jpg)

Shaking the thoughts from his head Adam went to get Morgan, they really did need to set off if they wanted to get to her uncles.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/52.jpg)

“I want to go back for Alex.” She said as Adam entered the trailer.
“You can’t. They will know we are missing now.” He replied to her sadly.
Her eyes glazed over at the thought of not going to get her. She cursed her self. She should have gone back for her the night before. Before any one would know they were missing, but she had felt so defeated that she hadn’t had the strength.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/53.jpg)

They walked most of the day, stopping occasionally to rest from the strain of carrying Ethan. Adam had suggested snatching a pram or a buggy from a park while the un suspecting mother was occupied with the her child, but Morgan had put her floor down, making it very clear that they were not going to steal anything no matter what they needed.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/54.jpg)

They had stopped in a library after Adam had suggested that they take a look on the Internet to find her uncles actual address. They had stuck lucky and Nathan had been listed. Printing it off along with the directions they had set off again with the sun beating down on their backs.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/55.jpg)

When they arrived at her uncles the night had started to draw in again. The sun turning the sky orange as it slowly sank. They stood outside a small two-story house in a row of houses that all looked very similar.
“This is it.” Adam said.
“Yes, it is” she nodded.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/56.jpg)

Morgan passed Ethan to Adam and crept up the driveway of the house to the front window. She stooped down below window level and tried to listen through the glass. She could hear her uncle laughing. Carefully she rose up and peeked through the open curtains. She could see her uncle lounging on the sofa watching television. Karen, her soon to be aunt was sat on the floor with Nathaniel their two-year-old son. He was laughing at what ever Karen was doing.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/57.jpg)

Morgan’s heart sank at the thought. She couldn’t wreak their lives. For the first time in a while her uncle looked happy. She didn’t want to destroy that. If she knocked on their door the police would have to be called and they would be dragged into the nightmare that was her life.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/58.jpg)

Adam joined her bringing Ethan with him.
“What's wrong? Knock on the door.”
She looked him in the eyes, her bottom lip quivering. “I cant, I can’t do it.”
“What? Why not, this is what you came for. This is what we walked all day for. Here hold Ethan.” Adam thrust Ethan into her arms before she had time to protest. He got up and walked to the door.
“Please don’t.” she pleaded.
Adam shrugged his shoulders. “Too late, they have seen me.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/59.jpg)

Morgan crawled over to the bushes with Ethan and hid. “Please” she begged as the front door opened. She listened as she heard Nathan’s voice. She wanted to come out and throw her arms around. She wanted to cry, but she couldn’t.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/60.jpg)

“Hello?” said Nathan to Adam
“Hi. I er.” Adam thought quickly what to do. He couldn’t understand why she had, had such a change of heart, but the look on her face showed the sincerity of her fear.
“Can I help you?” Nathan tried again.
“I’m sorry to disturb you sir, but I am just looking for directions. Can you tell me where the local telephone box is?”
“Do you want to use my phone?”
Adam grimaced at the suggestion.
“No it’s ok; I just need a telephone box, if you can just point me in the direction of the nearest one.”
Nathan rubbed the back of his neck, not sure whether or not to question the boy more.
“It’s just round the corner, but if you need some help, I don’t mind you using mine.”
“No its ok. Thank you for your help.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/61.jpg)

Adam walked off cursing himself for coming up with something so pathetic. He could feel the pressure of Nathans stare as he walked quickly back down the drive.
Morgan watched. She pleaded in her head for Nathan to go back in the house before Ethan started to voice his complaint about being in the bushes. She had already had to clamp her hand over his mouth to silence his childish mutterings.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/62.jpg)

Once Adam was out of his sight Nathan gave the outside a glance and went back into the house, locking the door behind him. Morgan watched from the bushes as she saw Nathan enter the lounge and talk. Carefully she eased herself out, trying to keep in line with them as she crept down the garden. She kept her eyes on Nathan, hoping that he would resume lounging on the sofa so that she could get up properly and ease the cramp that was starting in her calves.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/63.jpg)

Ethan chattered happily. She had no idea what he was saying; just the odd word was understandable. She cringed as she tried to keep him quite and move at the same time.
Finally getting out of the garden, she saw Adam peeping out from being a tree further down the street. He motioned for her to join him and she signalled to let him know that she had seen him.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/64.jpg)

Looking back into the house could see that Nathan had finally sat down or left the room, as she couldn’t see him anymore through the window.
Morgan rose to her feet, taking please of her leg muscles stretching.
“Hey” called Nathan from the door.
Morgan gasped, she hadn’t checked the door, and she hadn’t expected him to come back out. She turned on her heal and ran. Ethan started screaming in protest at being bopped up and down with her running, but she clutched him tight and carried on. She could hear Nathan calling out behind her. She had to get away; he couldn’t see it was her.

She raced over the road, not looking for any traffic that may have been coming along. A car sounded its horn at her in annoyance as the driver broke fast. She mumbled a sorry at him and carried on running. She could see the local park ahead of her, if she could just get there before her Uncle Nathan caught her up.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/67.jpg)

She reached the park gate and raced through into the darkness, her chest hurting at the effort. Finding cover behind an oak tree she slumped down to its roots, hoping that the darkness would shade her.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/68.jpg)

She heard Nathan run into the park and stop. She had to force herself not too look. Scared that he would be looking in her direction.
“Morgan?” he called.
Morgan bit her lip to stop herself answering. Tears rolling softly down her pale face as she fought with everything she had to ignore him and herself.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/69.jpg)

“Morgan, if that’s you come out, there’s no need to be scared.”
She heard him getting closer. Fear ground her further into the dirt.
She closed her eyes and wished for him to leave. Resting her head back against the trunk of the tree she felt the light droplets of rain land on her face and mixing with her tears.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/70.jpg)

She heard Nathan sigh and his footsteps started to fade. Morgan let out the breath that she hadn’t realised she was holding. She didn’t dare move though, just in case Nathan was still looking. The rain was getting heavier. Ethan started to cry as the water ran down his face and soaked through his clothes.
She held him closer trying to shield him from the water that fell.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/71.jpg)

“Morgan” Someone whispered. “Morgan, its Adam.”
“Adam?”
Morgan eased her self out from behind the tree, still afraid that Nathan was near.
“Has he gone?”
“Yeah, I saw him go back into his house and then came for you.” Adam looked at Morgan, she looked a mess, her red hair was stuck to her head and her eyes were red and swollen.
“Why have you been crying?” he asked her.
“I haven’t.”
“Hhhmmm”

He knew she had, it was plain for anyone to see, but if she wanted to keep it private then he wasn’t going to argue, he knew too well what it was like to want to keep your feelings away from people. He had done it enough with his father. After years of beatings Adam had soon learnt that crying out just made it worse. Many times he had held it in and waited until his father either passed out or went back to the pub. Once in private he had curled up and cried silently. Vowing never to show anyone his feelings again.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/73.jpg)

“What do you want to do now? I am soaked, so are you two and it’s too much to walk back to the trailer now.”
“I don’t know.” She said shrugging.
“Come one, I’m sure we’ll find something.” Adam held his hand out and helped Morgan onto the path. She followed him as he walked to the children’s area.
“We’ll have to rest here for now.” He said pointing to one of the children’s play houses. Morgan didn’t answer; she just followed him in and sat down in the corner.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/74.jpg)

Adam reached into Morgan’s bag and pulled out a bottle of juice and some crisps he had from his trip to the supermarket that morning. Morgan went to shake her head, But she was hungry and so was Ethan, instead she took them with a smile.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/75.jpg)

Taking a mouthful of the juice her self, and a few crisps, she offered Adam some, but he refused, she gave the rest to Ethan. They watched him as he ate then as fast as a toddler could, getting crumbs and soggy crisps down his chin mixed in with the juice.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/76.jpg)

Adam put his arm around Morgan and she flinched. “We need to stay warm. “He said. She smiled at him and moved closer. Morgan put her arm around Ethan as he fell asleep.
Resting her head on Adam she closed her eyes and tried to rest her self. (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/77.jpg)

Mia’s mobile rang as she was walking back into the house. She had spent the morning arguing with the social workers as to why she hadn’t been informed the moment they knew her two children had gone missing. She had then spent the rest of the day driving round the streets searching for them.
“Hello?”  
“Mia?” Nathan said nearly deafening her.
“Yeah?”
“Its Nathan, can you come over.”
“Now?”  Yeah she asked fear making her skin tingle.
“Please.”
Mia got straight into her car. She had no idea what Nathan wanted, but his voice had held an edge of urgency.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/78.jpg)

She pulled her car up outside. Nathan was waiting for her at the door way. Mia leapt from her car and towards Nathan, she could feel it in her gut, something was wrong.
“Nathan what is it?”  She asked scared of what the answer would be, normally Nathan was calm, but he looked on edge.
“It’s Morgan.”
“Morgan? God is she alright?”
“I think she came here tonight.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/79.jpg)

She looked at him puzzled. “You think?”
“Yeah some lad looks just like that Adam knocked on my door. I didn’t know it was him until I went back in the house and saw his picture on the local news. When I went back out he was gone, but I caught sight of a girl with a toddler in her arms.”
“Ethan!”
Nathan nodded.
“Where did they go?”
“That’s just it, I don’t know. I called to her, but she ran into the park and I lost her, but I think it was defiantly her.”
“Why’d she run?”
“Mia, I’m sorry I don’t know, I just thought I should tell you.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/80.jpg)


Mia didn’t wait around, she ran over to the park to search for them, maybe they were still there or at least still in the area.
Her heart was pounding as she entered the park. It was raining and dark. She searched everywhere, but no sign. All that faced her were kids play houses and empty swings.
“Morgan come home.” she begged into the empty night. She wanted her to be safe and warm.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/81.jpg)

Nathan came up behind her and put his arms around her.
“She’s not here.” She sobbed.
“Come on your soaked.” He said leading her back to his house.
She leant into him as they walked and cried.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/82.jpg)

As Morgan drifted off to sleep she felt herself being dragged into dreams of her father and mother.
Her mind floated to many different scenes. Her uncle smiling, her mother laughing. Her fathers face when he saw her entering a room.
She saw her mother curled up, saw her crying. She saw the man bending over her, punching her over and over again.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/83.jpg)

“Morgan, Morgan” she heard. Thinking she was still in her dream she opened her eyes slowly expecting to see her room, the pink wallpaper that her father had put up and the matching furniture. For a moment she thought she was home. Then she remembered as Adam continued to call her name.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/84.jpg)

Adam leant over her. She hadn’t felt him or Ethan move, but she was lying down.
“You were crying.”
Instinctively she ran her fingers over her eyes; she felt the damp of the tears she hadn’t known she had shed.
“Sorry, bad dream. What time is it?”
“I don’t know, morning sometime, but early, the sun has only just come up.”
“Where’s Ethan?”
“He’s here look.” He said pointing to the opposite side of the play house. “You were in a deep sleep, so me and the little guy went over there and played.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/85.jpg)

“Oh.” She said as she eased her self up. Her neck and back stiff from lying in such an awkward position.
“I know you don’t believe in stealing, but we need some food, especially for Ethan”
“I have some money, I er “
“You stole it?”
Morgan nodded not wanting to admit it to him.
“We should save that, you never know when we might need it. Its only a bit of food, I’ll go and get it, you two can stay outside.”
Morgan tried to protest, but he placed his finger over her lips to shush her.
“We have to survive Morgan; your principles won’t fill us.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/86.jpg)

Adam was an expert in shoplifting. It was the only way he had managed to eat while he lived with his father, but after being put into care he had never got out of the habit. He never stole anything like CD’s or DVD’s etc always food. It was natural to him, it was how he had survived for years and he didn’t know anything else.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/90.jpg)

They walked through the park. The rain had stopped. Patches of dry concrete were starting to show through the damp floor. Supermarkets were everywhere these days, so it didn’t take them long to find one. Most of them were 24 hour stores too, though at the earlier times in the day they had to be extra cautious as there were fewer shoppers to hide behind.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/91.jpg)

Morgan took Ethan into the ladies to wash his face and clean him up a bit. His chin was sticky from his juice earlier and his hair was matted to his head after being left to dry in the cool night air while he was sleeping.
A woman came in to use the toilets. She stopped when she spotted Morgan with Ethan sat on the counter. Morgan smiled at her and turned back to Ethan, willing the woman to get on with what she came for and leave them alone. “Come on Ethan. Lets go find mummy.” She said to him trying to make the woman think that she wasn’t here alone. The last thing she wanted was to have to run again. She didn’t have the energy for that and she was pretty sure Ethan would scream blue murder if she even tried.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/92.jpg)

Adam was already outside waiting for her when she came out of the supermarket. He sat on one of the benches and smiled as she approached.
“Feel better?” he asked.
“A little would love a shower though.” She said pointing to her dirty hair.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/93.jpg)

They walked back into the park and sat at a picnic table to enjoy their breakfast. It wasn’t much, just some bread rolls, milk and biscuits, but it tasted so good. Morgan was so thirsty. She put the carton of milk to her mouth and didn’t stop drinking until the carton crushed from the emptiness.
“So who was it that your father is accused of killing?” asked Adam out of the blue.
Morgan tensed.
“Erm… no one.”
“Yeah he did, I read he is up for murder.”
She shifted uneasily on the ground. “I don’t want to talk about it, if that’s ok.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/94.jpg)

Ethan sneezed as he drank his milk and managed to spray it everywhere. Morgan was relieved as it took Adams mind off asking her anymore personal questions.
Adam took a tissue out of his pocket and laughed as he cleaned up the mess. He managed to catch the milk when Ethan sneezed a second time.
“I hope he isn’t getting a cold.” Said Adam.
“Me too.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/95.jpg)

“So what do you want to do now?” asked Morgan
“Back to the trailer I guess. We don’t have anywhere else to go. Unless you want to go back to the home?”
Morgan shook her head. “I’ll be in so much trouble if I go back.”
“Why did you run away? Its nice enough there.”
“If its so nice.” She said. “Why did you come with me?”
“Told you. I’ll be leaving there soon anyway. At least this way I haven’t got social services keeping tabs on me.”
“How long have you been there?” she asked. She wasn’t really curious, but she wanted to keep the conversation off her self.
“Been there since I was nine.”
“why?”
“Why what?”
“Why are you in foster care?”
“’cos of my dad. I told you that.”
“Yeah I know,  but what about your mum?”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/96.jpg)

He was speechless for a moment. How did he say that even his mother had dumped him? Walked out on him and saved her self, leaving him with his drunken father. Maybe he could tell her or maybe if she knew she would be put off. If his own mother didn’t like him enough to save him, why would some girl her hardly know care?
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/97.jpg)

“I don’t know where she is. Shall we get moving?” he asked changing the subject.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/98.jpg)

After they had finished their food, they decided that the best place to go would be the trailer. At least it was shelter. Once there they could decide what to do next.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/99.jpg)

They were about an hour away from the trailer when Ethan started to cry again. He had been grisly all day and was desperately trying to fight sleep.
“I don’t think we should go on.” Said Adam looking at Ethan. “I don’t think he can take anymore.”
“But where will we stay?”
“I don’t know.” Adam thought for a while. He knew there was a train station near where they were; maybe they could find some shelter there for a while. Until Ethan was rested.
“You stay here, I’ll be ten minutes.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/100.jpg)

Morgan sat on the grass with Ethan while she waited for Adam. Half an hour and he still hadn’t come back. She tried to keep her thoughts away from the possibility that he may have abandoned them. She didn’t want to think about that. Her breathing became un even as panic began to set in. Constantly she scanned around her looking for him walking towards them, but he didn’t.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/101.jpg)

Scooping Ethan up again she stood and tried to decide if she should go looking for him, but she didn’t know where to start. She knew the direction he had taken, but in the time he had left he could have gone anywhere.
“Looks like it’s just you and me again.” She sighed to Ethan. Tears fell from her eyes and she quickly wiped them away. “God I am turning soft.” She said laughing and forcing the tears away. She didn’t want to cry again, that’s all she had done. She had chosen to leave with Ethan, she had to be strong and look after him.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/102.jpg)

 “I hope your not leaving me behind.” Said Adam from behind her.
She was so relieved when she saw him. She could have run over and hugged him.
“I thought you had left me.”
Adams face broke into a grin. “Don’t be daft. I found us somewhere and I went to get more food. I am starving.”
“You found somewhere?”
“Yeah, just an old caretakers place near the railway, nothing special, but it’s dry and inside.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/103.jpg)


She followed Adam. The place wasn’t the Hilton. The furniture was old and worn, but the bed looked so comfortable to her. She could feel her muscles calling for her to lie down and relax. There was a small stove in the corner and a curtain that had obviously acted as a kitchen wall. Adam opened his bag and pulled out a tin of beans and some more bread. “At least we can have something warm tonight.”
Morgan nodded, she was past caring that he had stolen it. Her stomach called out to the food. They hadn’t eaten since breakfast. Anything they had left they had given to Ethan.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/104.jpg)

She sat Ethan down on the bed and offered him some of the bread but he just pushed it away and cried. She tried again with some more milk, but he didn’t want that either.
Curling up on the bed with him she held him tight and stroked his head. She could feel he was getting hot. She hoped that a good nights sleep would make him feel better. The rain from the night before had obviously given him a cold.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/105.jpg)

Morgan got Ethan off to sleep and covered him up with the old blanket that was on the bed. Adam had cooked the beans and had them waiting for her.
She took a mouthful and closed her eyes as she enjoyed the feeling of warm food going down her throat.
“Is he ok?” asked Adam nodding his head towards Ethan.
“I think he has a cold coming, he is a bit hot.”
“Maybe we should take him to a doctor, get him checked out.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/106.jpg)

Morgan’s dropped her spoon. “We can’t go to a doctor; they will send me back to the home.”
“But what if it’s serious?”
“It’s just a cold, he’ll be fine.”
“And if he’s not?”
“He will be. We’ll go to a shop tomorrow and get something for him. I have seen my mum do it hundreds of times with me and I always got better.”
Adam sighed and continued to eat his food. He wasn’t happy at just letting Ethan get over the cold. He had suffered enough when he was little. He didn’t want anyone so innocent to suffer like he did, even if it was just as trivial as a cold. He promised him self that if Ethan didn’t improve he would take him to a doctor him self, even if he had to snatch him away from Morgan.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/107.jpg)

Adam and Morgan curled up in the bed. The days may have been warm, but when night fell the temperature dropped tremendously. They put Ethan in an old cot they had found
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/108.jpg)

Morgan awoke first. She ran her hand through Ethan damp hair. He was even hotter than the night before. She placed her hand on his chest to feel it going up and down. Gently she lifted him up.
“Ethan.” She said softly trying to wake him, but he wouldn’t respond. “Ethan” she called louder. Still he wouldn’t move. She placed him back on the bed and sprang up. “Ethan.” She shouted this time. “Wake up Ethan.”
Adam sat up with a start. “What's going on?”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/109.jpg)

“Its Ethan, I can’t wake him.” Adam jumped up and looked at Ethan. He tried calling him to but he wouldn’t respond. Adam picked him up, but his little body was just limp in his arms.
“We have to get him to hospital.”
Morgan looked at Adam despair going across her face. “We can’t.”
Adam pushed her out of the way and jumped off the bed with Ethan in his arms.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m getting him help.” He said as he ran out the door.

Morgan ran after him as Adam ran to the main high street. She caught up with him as he got into a taxi. “Will you take us to the hospital please?” Adam begged the driver.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/111.jpg)

The driver took one look at Ethan in Adams arms and nodded. Morgan got in the back seat. The driver sped off to the hospital. Neither Adam or Morgan spoke, but Adam kept hold of Ethan not wanting to give Morgan a chance to hold him and get out of the taxi if it stopped at lights or something.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/112.jpg)

The taxi pulled up outside the A&E entrance. Adam jumped out quickly and raced into the hospital. Morgan looked at the meter in the car and cringed. The driver saw her face.
“Hey kid, forget it, go and help the little one.”
Morgan sat back stunned.
“Go on, think of it as an act of kindness.” The driver smiled.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/113.jpg)

Morgan quickly got out before he had time to change his mind. She quickly ran into the hospital and saw a nurse taking Ethan from Adam. She wanted to go over, but she didn’t dare. What if she was reported? What if she had done something to Ethan to make him like he was? She would be arrested. Maybe she deserved it. Maybe this was her punishment for killing someone.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/114.jpg)

Adam turned and caught sight of her hovering by the door. He waved for her to come over, but she shook her head. Slamming his hands down into his pockets he walked annoyed to her.
“What's your problem?” he asked.
“Nothing, will he be ok?”
“I don’t know, they have taken him in to be looked at. Are you coming to see him?”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/115.jpg)

Morgan shook her head and stepped back.
“Morgan.”
“I’m sorry” she said as she turned to run. Adam grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
“That’s your baby brother in there, you gonna abandon him? Leave him to be taken into another care home by him self. You brought him into this; you have to take responsibility for this.”
Adam let go of her arm, hoping that he may have got some sense into her, but the moment he let go she ran.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/116.jpg)


Morgan stopped at the back of the hospital. She bent over and cried in frustration.
Leaning back against the wall she slid down until she was sitting on the floor. Pulling her knees up against her chest she hugged her self.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/117.jpg)

Adam stood watching her for a second, not sure if he should leave her to gather her self or whether he should go and comfort her. He walked over slowly; she didn’t move or look up. He hoped this was a good sign.
Crouching down beside her, he placed his warm hand under her chin and lifted her face up until her eyes were looking into his.
“Morgan.” He said softly. “What do you want to do? We have to do something.”
She didn’t answer him, looking into his face her eyes darted rapidly from side to side.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/118.jpg)

He stood her up to face him properly.
“Morgan come on, talk to me. He’s your brother.”
“Maybe…” she said thinking. “Maybe we could send him to my Uncle Nathan”
“Ok, is that what you want to do?”
“I just want him to be ok. I don’t want him back in some home. I want him to be home with our mother.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/119.jpg)

“Ok well, we will go and give them Nathans address and leave.”
“We can’t leave, not until I can see that he is safe.”
“Alright, then we give them the address and watch from somewhere so that they can’t see us?” he suggested.
She smiled and nodded, her cheeks still wet with tears.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/121.jpg)

Adam pulled Morgan into him. She buried her face into his strong warm chest. Wrapping his arms around her, he pulled her closer while she cried.
Pulling back a little he wiped the tears from her face and smiled at her.
“Shall we go and see him and say goodbye?”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/122.jpg)

Adam held her hand as he led her into the hospital. Ethan was lying in a room on his own. He was awake and smiled when he saw them come in.
“Hey little man” said Morgan trying to keep the tears from her voice.
Ethan held his arms out to her for her to pick him up, but she held back. She knew if she picked him up that she wouldn’t be able to put him back down. He needed to go back to their family; he didn’t deserve to be living on the streets with her.
She swallowed hard and pushed his arms back down gently.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/123.jpg)

Morgan stared at him, not sure how to explain to him that she was going now and he wouldn’t see her again. She didn’t want to think about not seeing him, but she needed to tell him somehow. She wasn’t sure he would understand much.
A nurse came in as Morgan was bent down over Ethan.
“May I help you?” she asked.
Morgan stood up and looked helplessly at Adam.
“This is our sister.” He lied.
“Oh, well I am glad you are both here. Ethan appears to be dehydrated. We have attached him to some fluids and given him some antibiotics, he appears to be picking up quickly, but I do need to contact your mother or father as you’re not able to sign his forms.”
Morgan’s eyes went wide with fear, she didn’t know her mothers address how could she give it to the nurse.
“We live with our uncle; I can give you his details.”
Morgan breathed a silent sigh of relief as Adam wrote down Nathans address and phone number for the nurse.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/124.jpg)

“I’ll just go and call, you two wait here please.”
They watched as the nurse left.
“Thanks Morgan said.”
“Hey I don’t want to cause suspicion any more than you do.”
“Yes but I can’t believe that you came up with that so quick.
He smiled at her. “I am a practiced liar. I’ll leave you to say goodbye, then we have to get out of here before they get suspicious.”
Morgan nodded and watched Adam leave the room.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/125.jpg)


“Hey Ethan” she said to him stroking his hair like she always did. “Morgan’s has to go now, but mummy will be here soon. I love you.”
Ethan muttered something to her, but she had no idea what he was saying, she just hoped that somehow he would understand that he was better off with out her and she was leaving him for the right reasons. Maybe one day she would be able to explain to him, why she had abandoned him in the hospital.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/126.jpg)

Adam burst back into the room. “We have to leave now.” He said waving a paper frantically in her face.
“Now? Why?”
He gave her the paper and her heart flipped as she read the headline.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/127.jpg)


“Police fear for safety of tot.” She opened the paper further to read more.

Two days ago two year old Ethan Harris was snatched in the middle of the night by thirteen year old Morgan Harris and sixteen year old Adam King. Police are desperately searching for the trio. Anyone seeing them should not approach them, but should call their local police station immediately.

The paper had included recent photographs of them all.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/128.jpg)

Morgan put her hand over her mouth. She thought she was going to be sick reading it.
“They think we kidnapped him?” she asked not taking her eyes from the paper.
“It looks like it, we have to go. That was on the nurses desk, you know the one who told us to stay here.”
“Oh god Adam.”
Morgan walked over to Ethan and bent down and kissed him. “Goodbye Ethan. I love you” she said, her voice shaking.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/129.jpg)


Adam opened the door to Ethan’s room and looked down the corridor, making sure that no one was coming. He signalled to Morgan to tell her it was clear. Slowly they left Ethan’s room. Morgan took one last look at Ethan before she closed his door.
They heard the nurse coming back, she was talking to someone else. Quickly they darted across the corridor to the empty room opposite.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/130.jpg)

“They were here a minute ago” said the nurse to her companion.
“have you called the police?” he asked.
“Yes, they are on the way. We need to alert security to look out for these two.”
“Alright I will. Did you tell them what was wrong?”
“No, I just said the baby was dehydrated. When I saw who it was I made my excuses and left. They did however give me an address and phone number of a where they said they were staying.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/131.jpg)

Adam eased himself out of the room, with Morgan close at his heal. He kept his eye on Ethan’s slightly opened door as they quietly walked down the corridor. Grabbing Morgan suddenly he pushed her into a side corridor quickly and turned her back as two police officers walked past them and entered Ethan’s room.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/132.jpg)

“Run for the door.” He whispered. Morgan nodded. She did a quick check, focused on the door and ran. The door felt like it was miles away. The woman behind the desk glanced up at the girl running past her. People sat in the chairs waiting to be seen suddenly forgot their ailments for a second as they watched her rush past. Morgan was three feet or so away from the door when she stopped suddenly. Adam almost crashed into the back of her. She turned quickly and bumped into him.
“What's wrong?” He asked
“Nathan” she said before heading back the way she had just come.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/133.jpg)

Adam focused his attention on the couple who were approaching the door, he recognised the man as Morgan’s uncle, but he didn’t know the woman. She looked exactly like Morgan only older and with longer hair. Morgan tugged on Adams top and pulled him back down the corridor to the room they had hidden in before. Once again they were trapped.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/134.jpg)

They listened and watched as one of the officers collected Nathan and the woman, showing them to Ethan’s room by one of the police officers. Morgan started to tremble. It was her mother. She wanted to go out there and scream that she was here and to beg her to take her home, but she couldn’t. It was her fault her mother’s life was now in tatters. Going back would just cause trouble for both of them and she wanted her mother to be happy and that meant not having a murderer for a daughter.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/135.jpg)

Adam gently pulled Morgan away from the door. He could feel her shaking. He pressed her head against his chest and just held her. She didn’t cry, but the pain was deep. She closed her eyes and took comfort in the warmth of Adams chest against her face.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/136.jpg)

Adam put his arm over Morgan’s shoulder and led her out of the room. Her mother and the police were deep in conversation. No one noticed them as they quietly slid out of the hospital un noticed.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/137.jpg)

They walked quietly back to the caretakers room at the railway to collect what little belongings they had. Morgan saw Ethan’s jacket on the floor. She picked it up and held it to her face, taking in his scent. Her tears dripped into the fabric as she cried. Adam walked to her and gently eased it from her fingers.
“He’ll be ok.” He said trying to re assure her. He folded his arms around her and rested his head in her hair.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/138.jpg)


They packed up what there stuff and took a few of the blanks from the room. It didn’t look like anyone lived there, the stuff wouldn’t be missed.

It took them a while to get back to the trailer. They were both tired, dirty and hungry. Morgan felt defeated. She had tried so hard to look after Ethan and she had failed, but at least he had their mother now. She wished she did too. She lay down and moved into Adam as he slept. Listening to the sound of his slow breathing she could tell he was asleep. She closed her own eyes. She could see her mother and father. She could recall her fathers aftershave as if he was there with her in the trailer.

Sleep finally claimed her.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/140.jpg)

When she opened her eyes it was light outside. She was still nestled in Adams arm. He was awake though, just lying there thinking about things.
“Morning.” He said looking down at her. She smiled back up at him. Her stomach gave a loud rumble and Adam laughed. “I take it your hungry.”

He moved his hand to her hair and moved the stray strand that had fallen into her eye. “Come on. Breakfast.” Adam sat up lifting Morgan up with him.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/141.jpg)

They walked into the town which was about fifteen minutes away. Morgan had talked Adam out of going back to the supermarket. They couldn’t steal from there everyday. Someone would notice them. They found a small café in the town. Its owner was opening up by the looks of things. Morgan could smell the bacon cooking and it made her stomach complain even more. She could almost taste the hot salty meat in her mouth. Just one bite she thought.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/142.jpg)

The woman noticed Morgan gawping at her. “Can I help you?” she asked.
Morgan stepped back. She didn’t want to talk to anyone. What if they called the police? She would have to go back.
“Are you hungry?” tried the woman again.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/143.jpg)

Morgan grabbed Adams hand. She wanted him to take her away, but he didn’t, he started talking. Morgan couldn’t believe it. What was he doing?

“Very.” Said Adam.
“Come inside, I’ll make you something.”

Morgan squeezed Adams hand trying to tell him that she wanted to leave, but she felt him leading her into the café after the woman.


“What can I get you both?” she asked.
Adam scanned over the menu. They didn’t have much left. “Just some toast please.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/144.jpg)

The woman nodded and walked off to the kitchen.
“What are you doing?” asked Morgan horrified.
“Trying to get us food.”
“We can’t afford it.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/145.jpg)

The woman came back to their table and Morgan sat back and smiled trying not to let it show that there was a problem.
“Would you like something to drink?” she asked as she placed butter down on the table.
“Just water.” Replied Adam.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/146.jpg)

“Can we go?” Said Morgan once the woman was out of earshot.
“When we haven’t eaten.”
“She’ll call the police.”
“Over what? Some toast?”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/147.jpg)

The woman came back with their toast. She also brought over a plate with eggs and bacon on. Morgan looked at it horrified.
“We can’t afford this.” Said Adam.
“Its ok young man. It’s on me. Now are you sure you wouldn’t prefer a better drink to water. Something hot maybe?”
Adam ignored Morgan as she kicked his leg. He knew she wanted him to say no and get them out of there, but he wasn’t going to take up a good offer. He had no idea when they would get their next warm meal or any meal for that matter. “We’ll have some coffee please.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/148.jpg)

The woman brought their coffee over and left them in peace. She smiled to her self as she watched them tucking into their food. She knew they were street kids, but she took pleasure in helping them. Just giving them a meal here and there wasn’t going to break the bank and it meant they had something filling inside them for once.

She watched them curiously. It was sad to see such young people living rough, but she wasn’t going to question them. They had their reasons.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/149.jpg)

They finished their food and Morgan dragged Adam out as fast as she could, her nerves were jumping all over the place. She didn’t trust the woman in the café.

They walked slowly back to the trailer. They weren’t in any rush to go back. Morgan was relieved the further they got from the café, but she was glad her stomach was full. She just couldn’t understand why the woman had helped them.

They walked slowly back to the trailer. They weren’t in any rush to go back. Morgan felt her body relaxing the further they got away from the little cafe. Her emotions were mixed up. She was happy that her stomach was full and that they had both had a decent meal, but on the other hand she was apprehensive as to why the woman in the cafe was trying to help them. She turned it over and over in her head, but no matter what she thought she just couldn’t make any sense of it.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/151.jpg)


They arrived back at the trailer. The place was a mess. The gloom hit them as they walked in. Morgan stood there and looked around, her heart slowly sinking as she remembered her old bedroom at home. Adam put his arm around her shoulders; he could tell by the look on her face what she was thinking.
“We can clean it up you know.”
She looked back at him and nodded.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/152.jpg)

They spent the day cleaning up. Adam bagged up his  fathers discarded cans and papers, while Morgan washed some sheets in the sink. She had managed to find a bottle of surface cleaner, it wasn’t perfect but it did the job. The water was cold and most of the stains didn’t come out, but they smelt better than they had before. She hung them out side to dry in the sun shine.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/153.jpg)

They spent the next couple of months surviving by stealing at least one meal a day and making it last between them. They made sure that they didn’t go into the same shop over and over again, but spreading their food hunts out into as many different places as they could find. Their stomachs constantly rumbled and occasionally they felt to dizzy to move, but they spurred each other on. They had running water in the trailer, and they were thankful for that. There was no heating inside though and they had to rely on each others body heat at night. When the nights had grown really cold they warmed them selves on mugs of boiled water and sugar, heated over a small bonfire outside.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/154.jpg)


They went for their usual weekly visit to the café. When the hunger got too much Morgan would let Adam take her there, even though she still didn’t feel comfortable. She couldn’t understand why the woman was helping them. She brought them over a generous helping of toast and bacon. They both ate it as quickly as possible, getting it into their stomachs before it went cold.
Morgan finished her breakfast and excused her self.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/155.jpg)

The owner watched as Morgan went to the bathroom to clean up. Cautiously, she walked over to Adam; she didn’t want to scare him off. She had watched them over the last two months. The boy seemed approachable, but the girl looked constantly on her guard, she had never spoken to them properly, nothing more than a ‘how are you,’ but today she wanted to push it a little further, she hoped she had made the right choice.

“Excuse me?” She said.

Adam looked up at her.
“How old are you?”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/156.jpg)

She saw Adams expression change. “Its, ok I am not prying. Its just I need a hand here at the café, and you look about old enough to work. I was wondering if you would want to.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/157.jpg)

Adam looked at her trying to weigh her up. Was she serious? No one was this nice without wanting something in return. All the food she had given them and now a job offer, but she looked like a harmless woman. He could try it. There wasn’t anything she could really gain from him.
“Ok.”
She smiled at him. For a moment she thought he was going to refuse.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/158.jpg)

Morgan came out of the bathroom and froze when she saw them talking. She rushed over to them, not wanting Adam to tell the woman anything about them.
“You can start tomorrow if you like.” She grabbed his hand and placed three ten pound notes into his palm. “Buy yourself some clothes for tomorrow. I’ll see you at seven thirty on the dot.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/159.jpg)

Morgan watched in horror. She had to stop this, she didn’t know how, but how could he so easily trust someone. What did this woman want?
Adam saw the look on Morgan’s face and got up from his chair. He thanked the woman, before escorting Morgan out.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/160.jpg)

“What are you doing?” she said to him, her voice holding onto the edge of anger.
“She offered me a job. I took it.”
“But why, you can’t take it. What…”
Adam knew exactly where this was going and cut Morgan off before she had chance to argue. “We need money Morgan. We have no money left. We can’t live on nothing.”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/161.jpg)

Morgan ground her teeth. She wanted to scream at him, but he was right. She knew it, but she did not like it.
She didn’t speak to him all the way back to the trailer.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/162.jpg)

“Are you going to talk to me?” he asked as they walked into their lounge.
“About what?” She snapped a little harsher than she had meant to.
“I don’t know." Adam tried to ignore her tone, he really didn’t want to get into a fight with her. "Anything. You’ve ignored me all the way home.”
“I didn’t.”
“Yes you did." He said. "What's the matter?”
“Nothing. I am fine.”
“Yeah ok.” He scoffed. She was frosty and snapping. He had got to know her moods over the last couple of months; she always did this when there was a problem.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/163.jpg)

“Morgan. Nothing, doesn’t work.” He said emphasising the word nothing.
“You wanna know what the matter is?” she stared at him, straight in the eyes, her gaze fuelled with anger.
“Yeah I do.”
“”You. The woman at the café. You getting a job”. Her voice started to grow louder as she spoke.”
He was taken a bit back at her remark. He had assumed that she would be pleased that they would have money coming in. At least then they would be able to eat honestly. “You’re not glad I got a job?”
“No." She said. "What's with that woman?”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/164.jpg)

“Morgan your being stupid now. We need the money. I have gone too long without decent food. I am not going to live like my father.”
“And how did your father live?” she shouted. “You never tell me, you always clam up.”
“You want to know about my father?” He said emphasizing the word father to her.
“Yes I do.” She crossed her arms and sat down waiting. He ground his teeth; he didn’t want to do this.
“My father was a drunk. He beat me every chance he got. I don’t have a mother because she walked out and left me with him. “His voice was raised when he spoke and he seemed to spit the end of every sentence out as he spoke. “He dumped me by the side of the road and left me for dead. So now you know. Happy now?”
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/165.jpg)

Morgan fidgeted. She hadn’t meant to upset him. Angry tears brimmed in his eyes. She got up to go over to him.
“No don’t. I don’t want your pity.”
“Adam I’m...”
“You’re what? Sorry. Don’t be.” He said. He looked down at the floor, his voice a little calmer. “I am taking this job to make a better life for us.”

Adam arrived early at the café the next day. Morgan had gone with him reluctantly, but he had hoped that maybe he would be allowed to make her some breakfast.
Julie, the woman who owned the café was more than happy, as long as he made it and he cleaned up.  The café was small but neat. Crisp white clothes lay over every table with matching napkins folded and ready for the next customer. The smell of bacon and eggs swam through the air making Adams stomach complain at how hungry he was.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/167.jpg)

Morgan sat scowling at him while he worked. He did his best to ignore her. If only she could see that he was doing it for them.  Julie brought a plate of toast, bacon eggs and beans to Morgan in a hope that it would help her to win her over. Morgan looked at the food in front of her, the sweet scents that came from it floated over her nostrils and made her mouth water. She bit into the warm soft meat and savoured the salty taste as it went down her throat.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/168.jpg)

The breakfast rush started not long after eight, and Adam sent Morgan back to the trailer with a sandwich for her lunch.  He didn’t want Julie to think that he was just using this place for somewhere to hang out. Plus with the look on Morgan’s face she would probably be better at home.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/169.jpg)

She stomped home with anger niggling away in her stomach. Arriving at the trailer she didn’t want to go in, not on her own. She wanted Adam there. She was mad at him, and yet she wanted to be with him. She couldn’t work herself out.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/173.jpg)

Sighing she turned her back on the place. The day was too nice to be sat in there. Adam had given her a little bit of the money that was left from Julie’s generosity, which he had told her not to spend all at once.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/174.jpg)

Adam smiled as the blonde girl at one of the tables watched him working. He hadn’t noticed her come in, but when he turned around she was there watching.
“Would you like to order?” He asked her trying not to stutter his words.
She glanced over the menu not really reading it. “Hhhmmm. I don’t know, what would you recommend?” She asked.
“I don’t know, it depends on your personal taste I guess.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/170.jpg)

The girl pushed the chair next to her out with her feet. Adam frowned wondering what she was doing. “Why don’t you sit down for five minutes.” She said.
“Oh uh I can’t. I am working.”
“Shame.”
Julie saw the girl talking to Adam and fumed. He face was soft and fair, nicely framed by her fine blonde hair, but under that angel like exterior Julie knew that there was a scheming teen hiding. Just like her father.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/171.jpg)

“Aww. Well maybe when you get a break then?”
“Melody.” Said Julie sharply. “Shouldn’t you be in class?”
“Ah mum, give it a rest.”
Julie pulled the girl from her chair by her arm and lead her into the back of the café. “I’ll be back in a moment Adam. You give me a shout if you need any held.”
Adam nodded. Julie’s daughter? Wow he thought.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/172.jpg)

She didn’t really think what she was doing. She certainly didn’t plan it, but she wandered onto the main road and boarded the bus. An woman sat in the front looked her up and down in disgust. She self-consciously tucked her hair behind her ears and put her head down. She looked a mess. Paying the driver, she took a seat as far away from the man as possible.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/175.jpg)

Someone had left a newspaper on the seat next to her. She picked it up trying to hide herself behind it from the stares she was getting as other passengers got on. Her heart began to pound as she saw her father’s picture on the front page. Her body began shaking as she read the headline.

Trial begins for Simville Killer. She read further down the page, the tears stinging her eyes as she desperately tried to stop them flowing.

The trial of Cade Harris begins today. Harris aged 36 faces execution for the murder of his five victims. The courts are almost positive that a death sentence will be given.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/176.jpg)

She didn’t read any more, she couldn’t. Five victims? They must have set him up for the people that Jimmy had killed before she killed him and now her father was taking the blame. It was all her fault. She jumped up out of her seat and ran to the driver.
“Stop the bus” she shouted at him. “Stop it now.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/177.jpg)

The driver looked at her as she continued to shout over and over again for her to stop. The other passengers seemed to be getting agitated as one by one their gazes fell on her and the driver. He pulled over and opened the doors. Morgan leapt of the bus and ran. She wasn’t far from her old family home; she had walked this way from school many times. She sped up until she reached her old street.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/178.jpg)

Morgan stood looking at the tatters of her family home. The windows that once shone with the love of a family were now as broken and as shattered as she was, She saw her father embracing her mother. Heard the laughter that came from inside the house.
Gone all gone.
She remembered the night that had changed all their lives. The night she stopped being a little girl and destroyed her family.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/179.jpg)

She gingerly walked up to the house, up the path at the front that she had walked along so many times before. The front door of the house still held the last bits of the police tape. Putting her coat over her arm she forced her fist through the window in the door. The lock clicked open easily. Swinging the door open she looked upon the familiar sight of her childhood home. Closing her eyes she could remember her dad being on the other side. Always waiting with a smile or a cuddle for his little girl. She bit back the tears as she remembered his face, remembered his strong protective arms around her. Forcing herself she stepped into the house. It was silent. Dead. Just like her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/180.jpg)

Her heart beat faster as she came to the spot where it happened. She could see it now. The little girl stood protecting her mother from the man who had plagued their lives for so long. She had ended it causing more suffering now.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/181.jpg)

She didn’t know what she was doing there. She hadn’t planned it when she boarded the bus, but closing her eyes she could imagine she was home.
She wondered around each room in the house. Most of it was just as they had left it months ago.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/182.jpg)

She went upstairs and looked around. Seeing her brother and sisters room she let out a gasp. It brought back memories of how she had failed them. Slowly she closed the door.

Walking into the bathroom, she turned on the tap. She was surprised when warm water poured out. The heating must have been left on when everyone left. She looked at the shower and smiled weakly.
She eased her dirty clothes off and threw them into the dirty washing basket out of habit.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/184.jpg)

She let the room steam up before climbing under the water. Standing there she closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation of the hot water running down her back like a comforting hand. Leaning her head back and letting the water fall over her face, washing away all the dirt, if only it could wash away the guilt and shame too.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/185.jpg)

She stretched her arm out and reached for the shampoo. Blindly she poured it into her palm and gently massaged it into her scalp. The scent that she normally associated with her father filled her nostrils. She had picked up his shampoo. She opened her eyes and let out a cry, looking at the bottle in horror as it fell from her hands.  Happy memories of the family life she had destroyed played through her mind.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/187.jpg)

Leaning her body back against the cold tiles she curled up under the water and brought her knees up. It was only shampoo, but it brought back so many memories. She rested her head on her knees and rocked, trying to fight away the shame of what she felt from her actions.
The water began to get cool, and Morgan started to shiver, but she couldn’t move. Her head was stuck in the past, remembering everything she had destroyed.


(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/188.jpg)

Adam worked hard all day. He did his best to please Julie and to show her that she had not made a mistake taking a chance on him. She was nice, she didn’t work him too hard on his first day, no harder than he had worked himself anyway.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/189.jpg)

He cleaned the last of the tables and refilled the salt and pepper bottles. Julie came out from the kitchen.
“You did a good job today Adam.” she said smiling. “Now you get off home and take this.”

She handed him a carrier bag. There were left over bits of cake and a couple of cans of cola. “Thank you.” He said clutching the bag. She patted him on the shoulder and walked back into the kitchen.

Adam watched her and smiled inwardly to himself. For once he felt good about who he was.
He walked home quickly. Morgan had been home all day by herself for the first time. He knew she would be ok, but he didn’t want to leave her alone any longer than he had to.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/190.jpg)

Walking up to the trailer he frowned as he saw all the windows were dark. He had expected to see light glowing from the candles they used when the sun fell.
He pushed open the door hoping that she was asleep inside.

Lighting the closest candle to the door, the light showed him that the place was empty. It was as they had left it that morning.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/191.jpg)

Panic washed over him. Where would she go? She wouldn’t have gone to her Uncles. He sat down and put his head in his hands. Sighing he closed his eyes and tried to think of what she would do. The answer was simple. Her parents’ house. He had seen the papers that morning, he had tried to hide them from her, but he couldn’t protect her all day.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/192.jpg)

He knew where her parents' house was, she had told him the address when she had discussed going back. He had also read it in the paper. Although it didn’t give the exact address, it gave the street and he had a pretty good bet that he would be able to recognise it from Morgan’s descriptions.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/193.jpg)

Forgetting about the food and his empty stomach, he walked to the high street and caught the bus that went to her mother’s area. His eyes tried to shut as he sat there. He hadn’t realised how tired he actually was. The motion of the bus threatened to send him to sleep.

He reached up and opened the window next to him. The woman in the seat opposite tutted her dissatisfaction, but he ignored her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/194.jpg)

The house wasn’t hard for him to find. Apart from the police tape and the broken windows the house was beautiful. He couldn’t see any lights on, but he had to check just to be sure.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/196.jpg)

He stood in the hall, trying to listen for movement. He heard the pipes in the house working. Straining his hearing more, he could hear the faint sound of sobbing.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/197.jpg)

He raced up the stairs taking them two at a time. The sound of running was louder upstairs and he easily pin pointed where it was coming from. He eased the door open and saw Morgan huddled in the corner of the shower.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/198.jpg)

Grabbing a towel off the rack he walked over to her, truned off the water and placed the towel round her to hide her dignity. She looked up at him as he eased her to her feet and secured the towel around her. Her skin was cold. He could feel the icy water dripping from her hair onto the bare flesh of his hands. He reached for another towel and placed that loosely round her hair.


He walked her gently out of the bathroom and led her into the nearest room. There was a dressing gown on the back of the door, he took it and placed it around her dressing her like you would a young child.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/199.jpg)

Lifting her in his arms, he felt her body start to shiver as he placed her on the bed and covered her with the duvet, before getting in beside her. She lay on the pillow, her eyes unfocused. He gently stroked the side of her cold face.

Morgan closed her eyes and leaned over to Adam placing her lips against his. Adam returned her kiss with a quick peck before he moved his face away and kissed her forehead. He pulled her into him as she rolled over and he moved closer, holding her to him from behind as they both fell asleep.

Six years later

Morgan sat at the breakfast table studying. Adam had insisted that she got her self an education while he continued to work for Julie at the café. They had managed to afford a small flat with what he earned. It wasn’t anything special.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/201.jpg)


The building was old and worn, the people who lived there were mostly the bits of life that ‘normal’ people tend to ignore. But the rent was cheap and it was a proper roof over their heads.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/202.jpg)


They had furnished it as best they could. Most of the stuff had been donated by the regulars at the café. Adam had always tried to refuse their kind offers, but Julie was sneaky and had many a time had accepted on his behalf, arranging delivery while he was at work.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/203.jpg)


Morgan leant back in her chair and stretched. She hated studying. They had fought many times about it using the excuse that she didn’t want to go to college, so Adam had arranged for her to study from home. She hadn’t been able to think up an excuse to get out of it, so she had reluctantly given in.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/204.jpg)


The hope Adam had for her bettering her self spurred her on. He had worked so hard for her to be able to have this chance. As much as she hated it, she didn’t want to disappoint him.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/205.jpg)


Adam opened the door trying to balance the shopping in his arms as he locked it behind him. Morgan ran over to help him.
“Good day?” she asked.
“Yeah. Brilliant.” He said a little over enthusiastically. He saw her frown at his comment. “I’ll tell you over dinner, hope your hungry. Julie gave me loads today.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/206.jpg)


Morgan set the table while Adam unpacked what he had got from the café and the market. He pulled out two wrapped up plates of roast beef and potatoes and placed them on the table. The smell made Morgan’s mouth water. She loved Julies cooking. Some of the flavours she had discovered over the last few years were amazing.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/207.jpg)


“So?” Asked Morgan. She couldn’t wait to hear what his news was, he looked so happy it had to be good.
“So? What?”
“You all excited. What is it?”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/209.jpg)


Adams face broke into a huge grim. “You know Julies daughter?”
“Yeah, Melody.”
“Yeah. She asked me out. We have a date on Friday.”

“Oh” Morgan’s heart sank. Suddenly she wasn’t so hungry anymore. She pictured Julie’s pretty daughter. She was blonde, slim, and clever. She had it all. She had been working for her mother while she was on a break from university. Morgan had met her twice; both times Melody had just looked down her nose at her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/210.jpg)



Morgan put her fork down on her plate and looked down. The smell of the food suddenly turning her stomach.
“What's the matter?”
“I don’t feel so good.” She said as her heart slowly broke.
“Want me to get you some water?”
“No, I’ll go to bed. To much time studying I think.”
“Morgan?”
“Adam, just leave me alone.” She snapped. She didn’t mean to, but she was hurt and it just came out before she had time to think.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/211.jpg)


Adam watched her, confusion going through his head. What had he done? He didn’t feel like eating any more either. His mood suddenly low. He didn’t like to see Morgan I’ll. He didn’t want anything to be wrong with her.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/212.jpg)


He cleared the plates of uneaten food away. He had been so excited when he got home. He had been looking forward to telling Morgan his news; he thought she would be pleased.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/213.jpg)


He opened her door slightly and popped his head round to see if she was ok. She was asleep. He put his head down and closed her door behind him. Sighing he went to his own room and climbed into bed.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/214.jpg)


Morgan opened her eyes as the door closed. She wanted to call out to him, but she couldn’t. Burying her head into the pillow she closed her eyes and tried to force sleep to come.

She woke late the next morning. Stretching she got out of bed. Adam had already gone to work when she went into the lounge. He had cleaned up to. There was a note stuck on the table.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/216.jpg)


Morgan

I hope you feel better today. You were still asleep when I got up and I didn’t want to wake you because you felt I’ll last night. I really do hope you feel better today.

I said that already didn’t I?

I hope it was just the way you wee feeling last night because I felt like I must have done something. If I did I am sorry.

Anyway have to go to work now. I will see you later, and I will bring that film home for you that I promised.

Love

Adam.
X X X

She read the note again. She had been horrible last night. She shouldn’t have left the meal that he had brought home and she shouldn’t have ignored him.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/217.jpg)


Morgan grabbed some toast and sat down with her books. She could get dressed later. Right at that moment, she just couldn’t be bothered.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/218.jpg)


She slammed her book shut after reading the same sentence over and over again. She couldn’t concentrate; her mind kept drifting back to Adams hurt expression the night before when she told him to leave her alone. She would make it up to him and try and keep her temper in, in future.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/219.jpg)


The day passed slowly. Morgan attempted to study many times, but she couldn’t. There wasn’t even housework to do to take her mind off Adam as he had done it all already him self.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/220.jpg)


She heard the key in the lock and glanced at the door. Adam walked in and looked at her, not sure what kind of greeting he would get, but she smiled at him and his eyes lit up.
“Feeling better?”
She nodded.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/221.jpg)

 Adam had mentioned to Julie that he had Morgan studying English and that she was currently working on Shakespeare. Julie had suggested that they watch Romeo and Juliet.

He put the video in and pressed play. The image was grainy due to the age of the player, but they didn’t mind. It was better than nothing. Adam patted the seat and motioned for Morgan to join him on the sofa.

She slowly moved up the seat towards him and lay her head down on his lap. He rested his hand on her shoulder, playing with the hair that fell across his fingers.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/222.jpg)


He felt so warm beneath her face. She could feel the firmness of his thigh under her check. He didn’t notice that she wasn’t watching the film; she just enjoyed lying there on him. They had spent many nights curled up together. Normally falling asleep together.

The loud banging on the door made Morgan jump. She was brought cruelly out of her daydream. Getting up she tuted and answered the door. A familiar face stood at the door smiling. Perfect teeth in an even more perfect smile. Morgan groaned inwardly.
“Is this where Adam lives?” She asked.
“Melody.” He said as he came to stand behind Morgan. “What are you doing here?”
“Oh I was in the neighbourhood and I remembered you lived here.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/223.jpg)


Morgan scoffed, she didn’t believe a word. What would someone as upper class as Melody be doing in a down trodden place like here. Adam didn’t notice, but Melody scowled at Morgan.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/224.jpg)


Morgan had a childish urge to stick her tongue out and blow a raspberry at her, but she resisted. She had only just got back into Adams good books again; she wasn’t going to spoil it now.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/225.jpg)


“Oh your watching a film.” Said Melody eyeing the television from the door.
“Yes we were until you arrived.” Replied Morgan putting an emphasise on the you.
Adam looked at Morgan raising his eyebrows at her.
Morgan smiled at him and walked back into the flat. She sat her self down on the sofa, making sure that she took up enough room so that only Adam could sit down.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/226.jpg)

To her horror Adam gave Melody his seat and sat on the floor. She was tempted to move away from her, but she wasn’t going to make room for them both to sit together.
Melody reached out and touched Adams hair, gently easing him back so that he lent against her while they watched the rest of the film.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/227.jpg)


Morgan watched them annoyed. She hoped Melody would get fed up and leave so that she could go back to resting on Adams lap.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/228.jpg)


Sulking Morgan rested her head on her hands and stared blankly at the screen. She didn’t take any of it in; she would have to watch it again while Adam was at work, and Melody wasn’t around.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/229.jpg)


“Morning.” Called Melody as she breezed into the lounge, emerging from Adams room. Her tanned thin legs uncovered as she purposely straightened Adams t shirt that she was wearing, making sure that Morgan saw what she was wearing. It took a few seconds to sink in where Melody had just come from. Morgan’s eyes went wide. Shock covering her face. Melody caught sight of the expression and smiled at her.
Bitch, thought Morgan.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/230.jpg)


Morgan got up from the sofa; nearly tangling her self up in the blanket that she hadn’t realised was covering her. Adam must have put it there. Disorientated she rubbed her eyes. She didn’t remember falling asleep.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/231.jpg)


The bathroom door opened and Adam came out. His blond hair hanging damply from the shower. Morgan’s gaze quickly went from Melody to Adam.
“Coffee?” Melody said to Adam as she swept over and kissed him on the cheek. He looked confused for a moment, but nodded. He could already smell the coffee aroma filling the room and it smelt good.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/232.jpg)


Morgan gathered her self quickly and walked to the bathroom, closing it hard enough that it bordered on a slam. She locked it behind her and rested her forehead on the damp wood. She could hear them talking in the other room. She hated them both at that moment.

ADAM IS BLIND.
How can he not see that Morgan has feelings for him.
As I said before.
Men.


Title: A fathers Sacrifice. The End Tribute added
Post by: flid on August 21, 2006, 05:38:02 pm
Adams light tap on the door made the wood vibrate gently against her head.
“Morgan?”
She didn’t answer; he waited a few seconds and tried again.
“Morgan?”
Why couldn’t he see what was right in front of him? Her body felt heavy. Images flew around her head of how Melody and Adam had gone to his room once she had fallen asleep. She didn’t want to take her thoughts there; she didn’t want to imagine all the details. It hurt too much. “What!”
“We’re going now, I’ll see you later. Ok?”
Again she didn’t answer.
“Ok?”
“Yeah whatever” she replied as she turned the shower on full blast so the sound of the water drowned out his voice.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/234.jpg)

Melody smiled. She had won the first battle, though it was a long way from winning the war, but she never lost. Never. Morgan was only his sister wasn’t she? How possessive could she get?
Adam shrugged as he heard the water running. He picked up his bag and opened the door for Melody.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/235.jpg)


He hadn’t seen Morgan like this before. He knew she didn’t like strangers, but she knew Melody and Julie. He couldn’t work out why she was acting like she was. He went over what had happened in the last 24 hours in his head. He just couldn’t see what he had done that would cause Morgan to be like she was.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/236.jpg)


Adam suggested walking to work, he didn’t want to admit to Melody that he couldn’t afford the bus fair for them both, but Melody scoffed. She didn’t walk anywhere. She pulled out her mobile and called for a cab.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/237.jpg)


Adam arrived at work ten minutes late. He had never been late and he didn’t like it.
“Sorry I’m late.” He said to Julie.
Julie noticed her daughter walking in behind him and smiled. “Don’t worry about it. My daughter has never been the punctual type.”
“The boss comes in when she likes.” Said Melody.
“Yeah well you’re not the boss, and you’ll never be the boss of anything if you don’t keep up with those studies. Isn’t that right Adam?”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/238.jpg)


Adam held his hands up in surrender. “Don’t bring me into this.” He laughed.
Melody walked over to Adam while he was starting the coffee machine up. She ran her manicured nails playfully down the bare skin of his arm.
“I’ll see you tonight.”
“Tonight?”
She looked at him waiting for him to remember that they had a date. He smiled sheepishly “Oh year, sorry.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/239.jpg)


The café was quiet most of the day, until school kicking out time. The place went from dead to over run in less than ten minutes. Adam rushed around trying to keep on top of everything so that he wouldn’t have to stay late.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/240.jpg)


Melody came in just before closing. “This is for you.” She said handing him a bag.
“What is it?”
“A present. Open it.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/241.jpg)


Adam put his cloth down and wiped his wet hands on his jeans. He opened the bag and pulled out a pair of black trousers and a blue shirt. He looked at the intricate design that ran down the left side of it. “I can’t accept this, it’s too expensive.”
“Oh Adam, it’s a present. If you don’t I’ll be upset.”
Adam forced a smile. He didn’t like taking charity he knew that’s what it was. It wasn’t a present; she just wanted to make sure that he looked good while they were out later. Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to take her out. She was out of his league.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/242.jpg)


“I’ll see you at 7?”
“Yeah.” Adam looked at the clock. It was after five already. He wouldn’t have time to go home, shower and change, but he couldn’t go straight out he stank of food.
“You can shower here if you like” said Julie noticing his panicked face.
“Thanks.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/243.jpg)


He finished off what he was doing and took a shower. He felt strange showing in Julies home. She had taken him in and given him a job, but it felt like he was stepping over some invisible mark. He washed as quickly as he could. Not wanting to use up all the hot water.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/244.jpg)


Melody was walking across the hall as he emerged from the steamy bathroom.
“Shall we go out now as your ready?” she asked.
He nodded relieved to be leaving Julie’s house. He felt like he was imposing.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/245.jpg)


His stomach growled as Melody led him through the kitchen to the private door leading out. He thought of Morgan at home.


(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/246.jpg)

“Can we nip to my flat on the way? I normally take bring home food for Morgan.” He asked her hoping that she wouldn’t mind.
“Is there food in the cupboards?” asked Melody.
“Yeah a bit.”
“Then I am sure she will be fine, really Adam you shouldn’t worry about her so much, and she is an adult. She can take care of her self.”
“But I…” He tried to say as Melody put her finger over his lips.
“She’ll be fine. Come on. I’m starving.”
Grabbing his hand Melody dragged him out of the house before he had time to out his foot down. She wanted him all to her self.
She took him to a little pizzeria down the road from her mothers own café. They were seated in a corner booth as she requested. Adam wasn’t sure what to order. She was paying; he didn’t want to spend too much. He looked at the menu. His stomach was arguing with his head. Finally he settled on a nine inch margarita, it was the cheapest he could see.
The waiter came over and took their order. Melody ignored Adams protest as she ordered a large pizza with everything on it.
“It’s my treat” she said to him.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/247.jpg)


Adam fidgeted as they waited for their food to arrive. He had never been on a date before and had no idea what to say or do.
“Your sisters a bit strange isn’t she?”
“Huh?” Sister? He didn’t have a sister.
“Your sister, Morgan.”
“Oh.” He laughed at her mistake. “She isn’t my sister.”
“Well if she isn’t your sister who is she? Should I be jealous?"

“Nah, we grew up together sort of. She’s ok.”
“Really? She seems weird to me.”
“Nah leave her alone. She’s had a bad time that’s all.”
Melody sat and wondered about his answer. She wasn’t his sister, then why did he have her around, from what Melody could see she just looked like she was sponging off Adam.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/248.jpg)


They passed idle chit chat back and forth while they ate. Melody digging and Adam trying his best to be evasive. His head was a little dizzy from the drinks Melody had bought for him. He stood up to use the bathroom, and his head spun when he moved.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/249.jpg)


He placed his hand on the back of his chair to steady him self.
“I didn’t think I had drunk that much.” He laughed.
Melody smiled up at him. “I think we should skip the movie and head back to yours. What do you say?”
“Sure, I’ll be back in a sec though.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/250.jpg)


Melody had already settled the bill and was waiting when he came out of the men’s room. She held her hand out for him to grab. His grip was tight on hers, and warm. She led him by the arm to the taxi rank outside and got him in first.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/251.jpg)



Morgan sat at the table waiting for Adam to arrive. He was almost three hours late from work. She twirled her hair in her fingers nervously as she watched the door and listened for any sound that could be his foot steps coming up the stairs.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/252.jpg)

The door burst open as Adam fell into the flat laughing. Morgan sighed with relief until she saw Melody close behind him. Anger flared instantly.
“You ok Morgan?” he slurred.
Morgan glared at him.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/253.jpg)


Melody saw the look on Morgan’s face and smiled. Spinning Adam round she brought his face to hers and kissed him.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/254.jpg)


Morgan jumped up off her chair and barged past them. She stormed off angrily. She wouldn’t let the tears fall.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/255.jpg)

Standing outside in the cold she plunged her hands deep in her pockets and pulled out what little change she had. She counted it quickly. Just over ten pounds, which was enough.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/256.jpg)

Shoving it back into her jeans she ran over to the bus that had just pulled up and threw some change into the driver’s tray to pay for a ticket to town, to the cinema.

She didn’t care what she saw as long as it stopped her going home for a couple of hours. The last thing she wanted to do was to watch Adam with Melody.
The cashier gave her a strange look as she requested a ticket to anything that was about to start.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/257.jpg)


She found her self a seat at the back and closed her eyes as the trailers ran. She lent her head back and breathed in deeply trying to calm herself. She was so angry with Adam; she didn’t want to think what he was doing now. It would hurt too much.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/258.jpg)


A familiar spicy scent wafted over her and filled her nostrils. She opened her eyes and jerked her head up in alarm. She knew that scent. She hadn’t smelt it for over six years, but it still brought the same feelings with it that it did back them.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/259.jpg)

She looked around her trying to locate the source. Slightly to the left a row down sat two men with two young boys.
The film started, but she wasn’t interested. She wanted these people to turn around so she could get a proper look. It couldn’t be him. He was dead.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/260.jpg)


Mixed emotions ran through her. What if it was him? What if the impossible had happened? What if her father wasn’t dead? She hadn’t read any papers after that day on the bus. She didn’t want to read what they wrote about him, she knew it was all lies.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/261.jpg)


She stared at the back of their heads while the film played out around them. They were oblivious to her. Her heart was beating fast and she was shaking. She reached her arm out tempted to touch the soft brown hair that she was sure was her fathers.

Closing her eyes she cursed her self. It couldn’t be him. He had got the death penalty, hadn’t he? All because of her. God how she wished she could turn back time and get her father back.

One of the boys requested more popcorn. She watched as the man lent down to the boy. She saw the glint of the familiar looking earring in his ear. She put her hand over her mouth to stop her self from speaking.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/262.jpg)



Grabbing her stuff she quickly got up from her seat and ran out. She lent against the wall in the lobby trying to get her breathing under control. The door swung open next to her and made her jump.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/263.jpg)

The man from the seats walked out. She watched him eagerly as he went towards the refreshments. She couldn’t move she was glued to the wall. She just stared. She put her head down as she saw him returning. Watching him through her fringe her bottom lip trembled with wanting. He looked at her as he approached and smiled. Before her head could think she smiled back, a smile that mirrored his own. Lost in his own world he didn’t notice. He walked past her and back into the film.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/264.jpg)

She waited outside in the main entrance hoping for her father to come out. People passed her quickly glancing in her direction then going back about what ever business they had.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/265.jpg)


After an hour and a half her father and her uncle emerged from the theatre with the two young boys. She stared at them opened mouthed. One of them had to be Ethan, but she didn’t know which one. They walked passed her happily chatting about the movie they had just seen. Morgan followed them out un-noticed. She stood in the shadows watching as they got into a taxi.
“45 Simshire Road please.” She heard her father say to the driver as he closed the taxi door.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/266.jpg)


She left the cinema quickly. Not bothering with the bus she ran all the way home. She burst through the door. Melody stood in the lounge and stared at her, her hand on her chest from the shock of the door banging open.
“Where’s Adam?” panted Morgan.
“He’s in bed.”
Morgan strode over towards Adams room, but Melody stood in front of her. “He’s asleep, you can’t go in.”
“You can’t tell me what to do.”
“I said he’s asleep.” Snapped Melody
“Yeah, well I’ll wake him.”
“No, leave him.” She said as she stood in Morgan’s way.
“Look I just saw my father; I need to talk to Adam.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/267.jpg)


“You mean your dead father, the murderer. Yeah I know all about you, how you dragged poor Adam out to live on the streets because you couldn’t stand being in care after your father had killed a bunch of people.”
Morgan stood there and looked at her. Tears welling in her eyes as Melody continued.
“Oh you’re quite shocked he told me. Well he’s sick of you hanging around him. I mean look at you.” She spat. “Pathetic.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/268.jpg)


Morgan punched Melody right in the face catching her in the nose. Melody reeled back, putting her hands up to her face as blood flowed out between her fingers. She  stared straight at Morgan. “You’re crazy, just like your old man. Just you wait till I tell Adam what you did.”


Morgan stood in front of her fuming. So what if she told Adam, she deserved it. Morgan cast a vicious look at Melody and stormed into her bedroom.

Morgan woke late the next morning. It had taken her hours to get to sleep, thoughts of her father going through her head and the anger at Melody’s words. She rubbed her eyes and stretched. The flat was silent.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/270.jpg)


She regretted hitting Melody. Not because she felt any guilt towards hurting her, after all she had deserved it, but she felt guilt towards Adam. She dreaded to think what he would say about it. No doubt he wouldn’t be pleased. Violence was the one thing in the world that he wouldn’t tolerate.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/271.jpg)


She got out of be sleepily and padded to the kitchen to switch on the kettle. Her favourite cup was already by the kettle waiting for her. Adam must have done it. She opened the coffee and spooned a generous heap of coffee granules into her cup; it was then that she noticed the piece of paper.

We need to talk.

Adam

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/cup.jpg)


That’s was all it said. No kisses like normal or feelings, just ‘we need to talk.’ She felt her heart sink. He had never written her a note like that before. Normally they were full of warmth, but this one was cold.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/272.jpg)


She sat at the table with her coffee. Her thoughts torn between Adam and her father. She didn’t know what to do about either of them. It had been so long since she had seen her father. Since he had seen her. All this time she had assumed he was dead, executed, but he wasn’t he was alive. Alive and well.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/273.jpg)


Lifting the cup up to her face she let the steam warm her face. The sun shone through the windows, its warm rays touching the inside of the flat. She held her hands tightly around the cup, the heat from the coffee inside failing to reach and warm her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/274.jpg)


If she went back to her family, to her parents. What would they think after all this time? Did they still think about her? Would she be welcomed back by loving arms? These thoughts had gone round and round her head for hours mixed in with the thoughts of Adam. If he truly was angry with her then this might be it for them, their friendship over.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/275.jpg)


She dredged the last drops of coffee from her cup and placed her cup by the sink. She had to do something; she couldn’t just sit at home and torture her self with her thoughts. She would go to her parents, just to look. She wouldn’t knock, not yet.

The taxi dropped her at the bottom of Simshire Road. She stared up the road trying to tell her self that it was ok, but fear knotted her stomach. Just a few yards away in a house was her mother and father. She had thought about them all the time. Dreamed of seeing them, but now she had the chance she wasn’t so sure.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/277.jpg)


‘No, no’ she thought to her self. She had come this far. All she had to do was walk up the street and walk casually past their house. They wouldn’t see her; she would just be some stranger in the street. Just a passer by.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/278.jpg)


Taking a deep breath she walked quickly passing the house. ‘1, 3, 5’ she said to her self as she counted along the house numbers. ’37, 49, 41’ she paused. There house was just two away from where she stood. She could see the garden with the daffodils, a child’s swing and children. Her stomach leapt. ‘Come on Morgan’ she said. ‘You can do this. Just walk.’

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/279.jpg)


Forcing her self she walked past the house. Straining her eyes in the direction of the garden, trying not to move her head and make it obvious she was looking. The children, a boy and a girl were no older than ten. They had a small lemonade stand and we selling fresh made juice to people.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/280.jpg)


“Excuse me. Would you like a drink?” called the girl as Morgan walked past. Morgan cringed and turned towards her not wanting to be rude.
“I’m sorry what did you say?”
“I asked if you would like a drink.” She said. “We are selling lemonade.” The girl smiled up at her hopefully.
“Oh no thank you.” Replied Morgan.
“Aww.” Said the girl sticking her bottom lip out to give her disappointment more meaning.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/281.jpg)


“Come on now Alex, leave the young lady alone.”
Morgan froze. She looked across the lawn, her mother was sat sun bathing. Mia got up from her sun lounger and unknowingly smiled at her daughter.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/282.jpg)


Morgan turned around quickly and walked back down the road, her heart was hammering against her chest. How could she be so stupid? They were happy. They didn’t need her in their life. By the time she reached the point that the taxi had left her, her face was wet with tears. She wanted to go back and scream. ‘Its me mum, I’m back’ but she couldn’t do it.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/283.jpg)


She walked home, dragging her feet along the floor as she walked. Her whole body felt heavy. People walked passed her, but she didn’t look up, she didn’t acknowledge any one. She wanted to be alone.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/284.jpg)


Adam and Melody were already in the flat when she got home. Her heart sank even further. The look on Adams face when he saw her was one of utter disappointment. She barley met his gaze as she entered. Melody sat in the background looking like she was trying to pretend all was well. Morgan glanced over to her, a slight bruise had appeared on her face from last nights attack.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/285.jpg)


“Morgan” he said, his voice void of all emotion. She ignored him and walked straight into her room, slamming the door behind her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/286.jpg)


The door swung open nearly hitting her. Adam stood there angrily.
“What is going on with you?” he said.
Silence.
“Morgan answer me.”
“What do you want me to say? That I have finally gone nuts? That I am sorry for hitting your precious girlfriend? Well I won’t.”
“Well if that’s how you feel.”
“It is. Close the door on your way out.” She said as she turned her back on him.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/287.jpg)


Adam shook his head and sighed to him self. She had changed. He closed the door quietly and left her too it. He didn’t know what was going on with her anymore, she was becoming a stranger.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/288.jpg)


Morgan chocked back the tears. She cursed her self for being like this. How had it got so bad? All she wanted was her parents and for Adam to love her, but she had never got what she dreamed of.

Adam sat down next to Melody; she put her arms round him to comfort him. It amazed her that he still cared for that girl, all she had done was give him grief and sponged of him, she needed help, she needed locking up.
“I don’t know what's going on with her Mel.”
“Maybe it’s in the genes.”
Adam looked at her confused.
“What do you mean?” he asked.
“Well you said her father had killed someone right?”
“Right?”
“Well what if it runs in her family, I mean what if she is capable of killing someone?”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/290.jpg)


“I don’t think she would. She just needs someone to look after her that’s all.”
“Come on Adam, you have done enough of that. I mean look you have given her what six years? Enough is enough. Its time to let her go and move on.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/291.jpg)


Adam lent forward and put his head in his hands. Everything Melody was saying was true. He couldn’t go on looking after her, but he wanted to. He couldn’t imagine not having her in his life. For so long she had depended on him, she just needed to grow up.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/292.jpg)


Melody and Adam looked up as they heard the front door slamming. Adam got up to go after Morgan, but Melody held his arm and stopped him.
“Leave her, she’ll come back.” She said.
“I need to check she’s alright.”
“Adam look at me.” She said. “You need to let go. She will come back, she always does.”

Adam missed the hint of sarcasm in the last part of Melody’s statement.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/293.jpg)


Morgan ran away from the building. She didn’t know where she was going, she just ran until her legs couldn’t take it anymore. Rain began to fall and mix in with the perspiration on her face. She slowed her pace down to a walk and went in the direction of the park.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/294.jpg)


The gates were locked when she got there; she pushed her self up over the failings. The tree’s made the parker seem darker than the night around her. Shadows danced across the path as she walked. Finding a bench under the shelter over one of the tree’s she sat her self down. The rain only lightly falling on her as the leaves shielded her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/295.jpg)


Morgan lay her head down and closed her eyes as she listened to the sound of the drops falling into the puddles. Adams face swam through her thoughts. He was so annoyed with her and she didn’t know how to fix it. Melody just seemed to bring the worst out in her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/296.jpg)


She started to doze of as she tried to figure out what to do. Her body was so cold from the rain that had soaked through her clothes, her stomach was growling, she hadn’t eaten all day. Darkness claimed her, plunging her into unconsciousness. She didn’t hear the footsteps approaching her.

The man bent down and looked at her. He brushed the strands of hair from her face and held the back of his hand to her cool skin. He lent in closer and traced his hand down her jaw line to her neck, still she didn’t move.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/298.jpg)


He put his hand under her head and lifted her up. She didn’t react as he walked through the park with her in his arms. She stayed in the darkness that had her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/299.jpg)


He walked deeper into the park to where his car was parked and laid her on the back seat. He looked at her young face and smiled as he shut the car door.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/300.jpg)


Morgan opened her eyes hours later. The bright light burnt her eyes forcing her to close them again. She tried to move her hands up to her face, but her arms were secured to what ever she was lying on. She struggled against them, pain searing through her arm.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/301.jpg)


She tried to scream, but couldn’t. No sound came out of her throat. She fought again to open her eyes, but the lids were heavy. She felt a hand on her chest pressing her down as she fell into darkness again.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/302.jpg)

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


Adam paced the floor. Morgan had been gone hours. Melody had persuaded him to stay put and wait for her, but he was worried.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/303.jpg)


“Come to bed Adam, she’ll be here when you wake up.”
“And what if she isn’t?”
“She will be trust me.” Said Melody smiling at him. He sat back on the sofa and groaned in frustration.
“This is doing you no good. She’ll come back. I promise. I mean look its pouring it down she has no where to go. She’ll be back.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/304.jpg)

Adam let Melody lead him to his room. He got changed and climbed into bed fighting against the need to go out and look for Morgan. Melody climbed in next to him and leaned against him.
“Close your eyes.” She said.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/305.jpg)


Adam sat back up desperately running his hands through his hair. “I can’t do this. I can’t just go to bed.”
“Adam, listen to me. You have to. Its time to let go, let her sulk. She’ll come back when she has calmed down.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/306.jpg)


Adam lay down again and Melody curled her back into him. His eyes slowly closed and Melody smiled as he fell asleep. She curled up closer to him and closed her own eyes. Happy that she had convinced him to stay.

Title: A fathers Sacrifice. The End Tribute added
Post by: flid on August 31, 2006, 02:24:40 pm
Adam leapt out of bed as soon as he woke up and ran into Morgan’s room. His heart rate shot up as he saw her empty bed. He could see it was empty and flat, but he still ran over and pulled the covers back as if by some miracle the bed only looked empty, but it was. The bare sheet stared back up at him.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/308.jpg)

He raced out of her room and checked the bathroom, but she wasn’t there either. Running back into his bedroom he grabbed his jeans and jumper and pulled them on. Melody was a wake and sat up leaning against the headboard.
“She hasn’t come back.” He said to her.
“Maybe she just isn’t ready.”
“I am going to look for her.”
“Adam?”
“No don’t, I listened last night, I should have looked then. What if something has happened to her?”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/309.jpg)

He raced out of the flat before Melody had time to answer. He didn’t know where to look. There was no where she could go. He stopped and put his hands to his head trying to think like Morgan. The Trailer.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/310.jpg)

He flagged down a cab and gave the driver the directions to the trailer they had stayed in years before.  The driver dropped him off just out side a town called Pine Springs. He looked around, everything was different. Litter had been replaced with trees and flowers, the cracked paving stones were gone and in their place stood perfect white concrete.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/311.jpg)

He looked behind him, the old windmill stood exactly where he remembered it, but its surroundings were different. He ran along the road to where the trailer should have been, but it was gone. Imperial Town was gone. It was all new, white shining buildings, the town had been re born.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/312.jpg)

He stared at the new building that replaced his old home, his eyes were playing tricks on him he was sure of it. He turned and ran. He ran as fast as he could, his legs focusing on one place. Her parent’s old house. He stood outside it; a new family had moved in, the house was completely different. The windows gleamed under the sun light, the front door stood perfectly free of the police tape.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/313.jpg)

Adam felt the tears prickling at the back of his eyes; he had been so sure she would be there. He leant against the wall of her old house and ran his hands through his hair nearly pulling it out with the force.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/314.jpg)

Morgan felt the sound gently starting to penetrate her ear drums as the buzzing of the room came to life. She tried to open her eyes. But they wouldn’t move, they felt as if they were glued shut. Her body felt dead. She fought against her self trying to make her eyes open and mouth move but all she managed was a light murmur. She tried to lift her head, but it felt too heavy for her neck, she tried moving it from side to side, a deep burning began in her forehead.
“Keep still and it wont hurt” a male voice said from somewhere above her.
She tried to respond but couldn’t.
“Keep still I said.” He repeated. “You leave me no choice. Keep your arm still or this is going to hurt.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/315.jpg)

She focused her attention on her arm, but she couldn’t feel it, it was as if she wasn’t there in her body, her sprit was just in blackness. She felt like she was in limbo. Lost somewhere between this world and the real one, her soul just floating. She felt her self falling back, sinking and she tried to scream. She heard the sound in her own head but the scream held no substance.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/316.jpg)

Tears rolled down her face, but there was no dampness on her cheeks. The place was dead. There was no breeze in the air, no smell or sound. It was just black. Tiny flashes flicked occasionally in front of her. Her father her mother and Adam all of them out of reach. If she could just hold onto one of them maybe she could find her way back.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/317.jpg)

Adam went to the flat. He opened the door and for a brief second he fooled himself into thinking that Morgan would be waiting inside, but there was only Melody. The flat seemed empty without Morgan in it, there was no life left in it or in himself. Melody greeted him with a smile, her perfect white teeth shone out brightly and her long blonde hair framed her face to perfection, but he couldn’t muster the energy to even fake a smile.
“Any joy?” she asked
He shook his head not feeling confident enough to speak.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/318.jpg)

He let his blonde hair spill over his eyes to hide the pain he was feeling inside. If he could have curled up on the carpet and cried he would have done. It felt like part of him was missing. Morgan had been part of his life for so long, for her to leave like this with no word was just strange and out of character for her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/319.jpg)

Melody got up from the old worn brown sofa and walked over to him, she ran her slender fingers down his arm tracing along his flesh with her neatly manicured nails. “If she wanted you to find her then she would be here Adam. Let her go.”
He closed his eyes and breathed in deeply, he couldn’t do it, he couldn’t just leave her like that.
“Adam, it’s for the best. You need to live your life now.” Melody said trying to make him see that this was for the best.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/320.jpg)

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

Over the next month Adam slowly went through the motions. He went to work, went to sleep and went to work again. He had phoned all the hospitals, homeless centres and anywhere else he could think of, but no one had seen a Morgan Harris.
Melody was getting frustrated with him, if only he would move on.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/321.jpg)

“Adam.” Said Melody as she reached across the Formica table to him and held his hand. “I think you should come and live with me.”
“What?” he said pulling him self out of his thoughts.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/322.jpg)

“You, being here it’s no good. Its time to move on, it’s been, what, 4 weeks?”
“She might come back.” He said hopefully.
“If she was coming back she would have done so by now. Come and live with me, we’ll get a place of our own, we don’t have to live with my mother.”
“I can’t afford it, I can barely afford this place.”
“I’ll pay, it’ll be our place.”
“Yeah.” He said half-heartedly. He didn’t want to leave, but he had to face it. Morgan wasn’t coming back.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/323.jpg)

The flat him and Morgan had shared may not have been much. It was tatty and dingy, nothing matched and most of the furniture was falling to bits, but it was still theirs. Leaving it behind would be like closing a chapter on his life that he was sure wasn’t quite finished.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/324.jpg)

It didn’t take long for Melody to come up with a place for them to live. In fact it took less than twenty four hours. Adam thought she had planned him moving in all along, but he didn’t say anything, he didn’t have the energy to argue. He still had no word from Morgan and he had no where else to look. She was gone and it made him feel empty.


Adam packed his stuff into boxes. He was amazed at how much stuff he had actually acquired. Melody had talked him out of bringing any of the furniture; his personal items were all he needed.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/325.jpg)

He stopped in Morgan’s doorway. The room was empty and cold, it looked exactly as it had when she left. Even though it was just a bed and a wardrobe it was still Morgan’s room. He didn’t know if he should take it all with him or leave it for her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/326.jpg)

Much to Melody’s annoyance Adam had decided to keep paying the rent just in case Morgan did return. She had tried to talk him out of it, but he couldn’t stand the thought of Morgan coming back to a bare flat and all her stuff gone.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/327.jpg)

“Ready?” asked Melody when she came back from adding the last box to the back of the car.
Adam stared at the empty room. So many memories. He nodded and walked quietly out locking the door behind him. He sat quietly in the car, casting his eyes up to his window as if by some miracle Morgan would appear there, but of course she didn’t.

Morgan lay still, she could hear the constant bleeping sound next to her. Someone else was in the room with her; she could hear papers being shuffled. She tried to move her arms, but they were still stuck.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/329.jpg)

“hello.” Said a voice next to her. The same voice that had spoken to her before. “Can you hear me? If you can wiggle your fingers.”

It took her a moment to take in what was being said, he head felt strange as if she was still floating. She gently moved her fingers.

“Good. Can you tell me your name?” asked the voice.

She tried to speak, but her throat was sore and on fire. She only managed a whisper. “Morgan.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/330.jpg)

“Hello Morgan. Can you open your eyes for me?”
Morgan concentrated on lifting the lids to her eyes, everything was so bright that it stung and made her squint.

She heard the sound of Velcro letting its grip go. Her arms felt lighter all of a sudden, she tired to move them again and this time she was able to.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/331.jpg)


Her eyes slowly adjusted to the light and she looked around. The room was bare except for her bed and some medical equipment.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/332.jpg)


“Your in hospital Morgan. I am Jason, your nurse.” He said.
She tried to think. She didn’t remember coming to hospital, she didn’t even remember being I’ll.
“How long..”
“You’ve been here about a month. You need to rest. A park warden found you and brought you in you have been very lucky Morgan.”

*****************

Adam walked awkwardly up the stairs with a box in his arms. The smell of fresh paint hung in the air mixed in with the air fresheners. Everything was so bright and white. The sun shone through the large window on the stair case. He followed Melody up to their new flat.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/334.jpg)

Everything looked new and un-touched. It was like a showroom.
“Are you coming in?” said Melody as she saw him hesitating at the door way.
“Yeah sorry. Its just wow.”
“Nice isn’t it. I told you you’d like it.” She said smiling.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/335.jpg)

Melody un-packed a box in the kitchen area and plugged in their new kettle. Adam stood watching with his hands in his pockets. There was a light knock at the door and Adam turned.
“Hi kids, thought I would come and give you a hand.” Said Julie as she walked in.
“Hey mum. Not working today?” asked Melody
“No, Ben’s in today and its quiet. Told him to call me if he had any problems, so I thought I would come and help you two.”
“Thanks mum.” Said Melody cheerfully.

“How you doing Adam?” she said walking over to him.
“Yeah I’m ok.” He said trying to smile at her as he talked.
“Still no word?” She knew what Morgan meant to him, even if her daughter didn’t. She could see it in his face that he was missing having her around.
“No, nothing.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/337.jpg)

Melody cleared her throat and walked over to them “Mum if you two start bringing the boxes upstairs, we can put them in the spare room and un-pack slowly.” She said trying getting them off the Morgan conversation as quickly as she could.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/338.jpg)

Once Julie had left and all the boxes where in the flat it was dark outside.
“I’m going to grab a shower ok?” asked Adam. The place didn’t quite feel like home, his stuff was here, but it just wasn’t quite right.
“Yeah sure. Want me to join you?” she said winking.
“Well I er…”
“God Adam I was joking. Lighten up. I’ll order Chinese you get a shower.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/339.jpg)

Adam laughed her comment off and went into the bathroom locking the door behind him. She might have been joking, but just in case.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/340.jpg)

He turned the shower on and leaned against the counter as he waited for the water to run hot.  

The steam filled the room and started to make Adam's skin clammy. He glanced at him self as he rested his head against the mirror. He imagined Morgan outside somewhere, stuck in the cold with hunger tearing at her stomach.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/341.jpg)

Why had she done this? What was so bad that she had run away from him? He thought that he was the one person she would be completely honest with, but recently she had been so distant and he couldn’t understand it.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/342.jpg)


Stepping under the shower he let the hot water slide down his back. The heat stung the skin on his shoulders slightly, turning the muscles down his arms to a heated pink colour. He let the water run through his hair and down over his face, trying to wash away the guilt he felt about Morgan. If only she would tell him she was ok. Even if she didn’t want anything to do with him, he would be happy if he knew she was safe.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/343.jpg)

There was a light knock on the door breaking his thoughts and Melody called to him that dinner had arrived. He hadn’t realised how long he had actually been stood under the water.
"I'll be two minutes." he called back to her as he washed his hair quickly.

Erm.. I believe the doctor's hair is from MTS2.. if you go through a few pages on the dowloads page you might find it, 'cause it's pretty recent. Sorry I can't remember exactly who it was from.. =(

Darn! I was hoping Adam would realize what he was doing and search desperately for Morgan..! lol. I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens in future chapters.. ;)

Melody had set the take away on the new dining table. The light reflecting up of its new surface. Adam sat himself down opposite her, his stomach growled in hunger, but he didn’t feel like eating. Reluctantly he took a box and began eating, the food slipping down his throat like a hard lump.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/345.jpg)


"Seems as it’s the 12th tomorrow do you want to come with me to choose or tree? I thought we could get a new one as it is our first Christmas together in our new place." Said Melody trying to cheer him up.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/346.jpg)

He looked at her confused. He had forgotten all about Christmas. The shops had all been decorated and the cafe was gleaming with bits of red and green tinsel, but he hadn’t paid any attention to it, all his thoughts had been on Morgan.
"Yeah sounds cool." he said trying to sound happy.
"Good then we'll go and get one first thing."

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/347.jpg)


Christmas without Morgan. How was he going to cope with that? From the moment the tree was up Adam would normal spend as much as possible on buying little gifts for her and hiding them round the flat, she would then spend her time trying her best to find them. He had soon learnt that as soon as he bought something for her that he had to wrap it. There was always a sad air to Morgan at Christmas, and Adam had always made sure that they raised a glass to her mother and father.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/348.jpg)


They would curl up together on the sofa and watch some family movie that always leaves people with the feeling that, that is how Christmas is supposed to be.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/349.jpg)


Melody and Adam finished their food she unpacked the sheets and made the bed. Adam fell into it wearily. He lay back and closed his eyes as Melody moved her self closer to him.

Post by: flid on September 04, 2006, 04:22:59 pm
I am terrible lol, with you asking for Morgan I went to check when she next appears, and realised she should have been in this update, so heres the tiny bit I forgot.

Morgan sat on her bed looking out of the window. She had been moved from intensive care to an ordinary ward. Visiting time had just finished and she held back the tears as she watched the other people in the room greet their families and receive flowers and magazines. She tried not to stare wistfully as husbands kissed their wives and children hugged their mothers.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/351.jpg)


Christmas decorations hung around the corridor outside, but it didn’t raise the normal excitement in her. Why hadn’t Adam come, did he even care that she was in hospital?

The darkness outside seemed to close in on how she was feeling. The trees outside danced to the night air in some strange ballet.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/352.jpg)


Morgan curled up under her cover and closed her eyes. She would be home soon and then she could fix everything. Maybe Adam hadn’t come because he was busy with getting the place ready for Christmas, or maybe he had come and she had been asleep at the time. She hoped so; she would have to ask the nurse in the morning.

The nurse stood by Morgan’s bed ready with her daily antibiotics.
“Has anyone called for me?” she asked the nurse.
“Not that I am aware of, but you may want to check at the desk over there.” She replied.
Morgan leapt up off her bed and walked towards the desk.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/354.jpg)


“Morgan!” called the nurse behind her. “Your medication?”
“Oh sorry.” Said Morgan. All she had thought about was checking if Adam had called. She wasn’t interested in taking her tablets.
She swallowed them quickly and handed the glass of water back to the nurse, nearly spilling it everywhere in her haste.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/355.jpg)


The nurse tuted and placed the glass on Morgan’s bed side table.
“Excuse me.” Said Morgan to the woman behind the desk. “I was wondering if anyone had called in about me.”
The woman looked up unimpressed. “What's your name?” she said sighing.
“Morgan. Morgan Harris.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/356.jpg)


The woman looked at her computer and quickly scanned down the list of names. “No. No calls for you I am afraid.”
“Are you sure?.” Asked Morgan positive that Adam would have at least called. “Can you check again?”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/357.jpg)


The woman tuted and rolled her eyes. “Still no.” she said flatly.
Morgan walked back to her bed. She wanted to go home, she wanted to see Adam and ask him why he hadn’t been to visit her. Surely life wasn’t so busy that he couldn’t even manage a quick message.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/358.jpg)



Adam woke up early; Melody was still asleep next to him, her blonde hair splayed out across the pillow. He watched her while she slept. He felt nothing, no rush of love or affection. He cared for her he knew that much, but something was missing.

What was he doing here? Maybe it was just a case of nerves, he didn’t know. He had lived with Morgan, but this was different. This was actually living with someone.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/359.jpg)


She opened her eyes and smiled up at him. "Morning" she said.
"Morning. Breakfast?" He asked wanting to get up straight away.
She stretched her long arms out and pulled the covers off. "Breakfast would be nice. We'll have to eat out though as we have nothing in yet." She said.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/360.jpg)


Adam leant over and placed a kiss on her forehead before getting out of bed and pulling on his jeans. Melody sat back and watched him dress. The muscles in his back flexing as he moved and she smiled happily to her self.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/361.jpg)



She had done it. She couldn’t believe she had actually managed to get him to move in, of course Morgan doing a runner had helped. She would have to thank her one day, if they ever saw her again.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/362.jpg)


Adam trailed behind Melody as they walked around looking at trees and decorations. Christmas music played out over the speakers in the shop and the whole place smelt of damp pine.

He watched as children queued outside the grotto, each of the leaning to try and see round the door and try and catch a glimpse of Santa. The fairies with glitter sparkling on their cheeks giving each child a smile and adding weight to the fantasy for them.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/363.jpg)


Morgan loved everything about Christmas. She had spent a lot of time watching the Christmas displays when ever Adam had brought her into town.

She would get lost in the magic of it all and her eyes would light up like a child. He loved watching that. He loved to see her happy and smiling.

"What you looking at?" asked Melody when she noticed him staring at the display.
"Oh nothing." He said as he came back from his thoughts.
"Come on." she said as she dragged him away from the crowd.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/364.jpg)


Melody grabbed Adams hand and led him towards the shop selling tree’s
‘Seasonal Sensations’ it said across the sign.
The lights in the window were turned off to enhance the decorations on the trees as they sparkled behind the glass.

White, green and multicoloured trees stood proudly with bright lights draped all over them flashing and dancing to the tune of Jingle Bells.

A two foot high Santa mechanically laughed and rubbed his belly as shoppers walked past. Morgan would have loved this shop.

“How about this one?” asked Melody as she pointed to a large silver tree.

Adam looked over to where she was pointing and screwed up his nose. “Cant we get a real one?” he asked.

“Real one? Do you know how much mess thoughts things make?” she said smiling at him. “No we will get a fake on, and they look much better.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/365.jpg)


Adam sighed, he wasn’t going to argue. Things had changed so dramatically over the last month that he just didn’t have the energy to argue about small things. He was just trying to keep up and live his life. “If you want the silver one then get it.” He said as he walked outside to wait for her.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/366.jpg)


“Men.” Tuted Melody to the woman behind the counter.
The woman just nodded and politely smiled in agreement.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/367.jpg)


Adam stood outside the shop, his gaze fixed back on the Christmas display. If only he could go back a year. Morgan would be here with him and she would be busting with all the excitement of a five year old.

“You’re a bundle of joy today.” Said Melody as she came out of the shop. “Lets head to the supermarket and then we can get home and you can stop sulking.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/368.jpg)


“Can we stop by my flat on the way home? I just want to check for post.” Asked Adam as they drove back to the supermarket.
“You mean you want to check for Morgan.” Replied Melody with an edge to her voice.
“No I want to check for post.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/369.jpg)


Melody turned away from him, not wanting to look at him while he lied to her. She knew it would take time to get Morgan out of his head, but she wasn’t a patient person.

“Fine, whatever just make it quick.”

Melody watched as Adams mood quickly changed. He went from slow and sulky to happy and bursting with life in a matter of seconds. He practically dragged her down each isle, throwing allsorts of stuff into the trolley. Stuff that she was sure they didn’t need.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/371.jpg)

She paid for their shopping and Adam raced it through the car park to their car. “Slow down.” Called Melody behind him. “What's the rush?”
“Nothing, I just want to get home. I hate shopping.
She laughed at him. “I never would have guessed.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/372.jpg)

They pulled up outside Adams old block. Adam ran up to his flat with the tiniest hope that Morgan would be there, angry and ready to scream at him that he wasn’t home. He stood outside the door hesitating. At least while he hoped he could imagine it was true and that she would be inside waiting for him, mad that he had stayed away for the night.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/373.jpg)

He forced him self to unlock the door, the darkness spilled out into the hall. She hadn’t come back, his mail sat on the floor untouched. She hadn’t been back at all. He walked back down the stairs, his head low, and the mail still in the flat.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/374.jpg)

“No mail?” asked Melody sarcastically.
“No, no mail.” He said sadly.
“She’s gone Adam, for god sake give it up and get on with your life, with our life.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/375.jpg)


“That’s easy for you to say, you two never got on, but it’s not like her and you need to accept her as part of my life.”
“But she isn’t part of your life is she.” Spat Melody. “She took her self out of your life.” She said as she forced the car into first gear and sped off driving with her temper.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/376.jpg)

Adam got out of the car as soon as they pulled up. He didn’t bother to wait for Melody as he stormed up to their flat. Melody watched him race up the stairs his expression set in a grimace. ‘I’ll win this’ she promised her self.’

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/377.jpg)

She walked in behind him and threw her bags onto the sofa. “Is this what its going to be like?” she shouted. “You always thinking of her, but here with me? I mean its not like you have ever been involved that way is it?”

Adam didn’t answer her, he stood grinding his teeth determined not to shout back.

“Answer me Adam.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/378.jpg)



The doctor hadn’t been happy to let Morgan go home, but she had insisted that if he didn’t she would just discharge her self. She had spent a month in intensive care and a couple of weeks recovering on the ward. All she wanted to do was go home and see Adam.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/379.jpg)

“Now I hope you will take better care of yourself.” Said the nurse. “Hypothermia is a serious illness. You were very lucky that, that guy had left something at work or you would have been dead when he found you in the morning.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/380.jpg)

Morgan looked down not wanting to answer. So what if she died. Who would care? Her parents wouldn’t know and Adam probably wouldn’t even notice. He hadn’t bothered to see her she had discovered after asking the nurse, so why would he care if she died?

The nurse handed her a bag containing her old clothes reluctantly. Morgan’s clothes had been dirty and torn, the hospital staff refused to let her leave wearing them, and instead they had arranged for one of the hospital volunteers to collect some clothing for her from the Salvation Army. Morgan had only agreed in hope it would get her home quicker.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/381.jpg)

She stood fidgeting with her carrier bag that contained her old clothes, really they should have gone straight into the dustbin, but Morgan owned little clothes and didn’t want to let them go.
"Take these four times a day" said the nurse as she handed Morgan a course of antibiotics.
Morgan took the bottle, but said nothing.
The nurse handed her a card, Morgan looked at it first before grabbing it at the corner as if it would bite her.

“This is the number of the GP here, if you have any problems or feel I’ll then please call.”
“I will.” She said giving an empty promise.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/382.jpg)


***

Morgan slowly walked up the stairs to their flat. On one hand she was looking forward to seeing Adam, but on the other she was ready to shout at him for not visiting her. She had been in the hospital for over a month and not received one call or card.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/383.jpg)

The flat was cold when she opened the door. Cold and dark. The windows were white from the snow that had fallen the night before and undisturbed.
Morgan flicked on the light switch and looked around; she could see her own breath floating out like a ghost of air.
"Adam?" she called, but all she got back was the faint echo of her own voice.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/384.jpg)

She dropped her carrier bag by the door and shut it behind her. Her stomach felt as cold as the flat as she walked from room to room looking for Adam. She hesitated outside his door, the only room she hadn’t checked. She knew he wouldn’t be in there, the signs around the flat gave a clear indication that he hadn’t been home for at least a week.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/385.jpg)

Morgan eased the door open. Light from the hallway rushed in. The room was empty, all except the made bed. The pit of stomach went cold as she took in what she saw. He had to be here? He just had to. She ran over to the wardrobe and flung open the doors, the emptiness greeted her, making her choke back a sob. She reached her arm out and touched the cold wood at the back, hoping in some way that it was just an illusion.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/386.jpg)

She slumped down on his bed, burying her face in hands, she let the tears fall. All this time and he hadn’t come to see she had hoped it was just work or something else, when in fact he hadn’t even been home to notice she was missing. Did he feel anything for her? Had he been worried in the slightest?

Morgan woke hours later, she wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but it was dark outside, the moonlight shone in through the un curtained window, gently illuminating the dingy room. Morgan eased her self up and peered out of the glass. Shops and houses glistened brightly as the rains drops sparkled over the Christmas lights that were hung everywhere.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/388.jpg)


Her breath steamed up the glass of her window, creating a ghostly image which she had to wipe away to look outside, people passed below, laughing and chatting with each other. Their arms laden with bags and gifts. Morgan felt empty inside as she watched them. The room she stood in didn’t reflect the normal Christmas. There was no tree, no pile of bags that Adam had left around. Nothing.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/389.jpg)


Morgan’s heart thumped harshly against the inside of her chest as she heard footsteps climbing the stairs on the other side of her front door. Quickly Morgan ran over and opened the door slightly to peer out. She saw the blond hair of Adams head approach as she felt her self smile with relief in her brief moment of happiness.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/390.jpg)


He got closer and turned to the next flight of stairs, the dim light shed from the weak bulb in the hall reflected over his face. It wasn’t Adam.
Defeated, Morgan gently closed the door and rested against it as she bit back the tears that were threatening to fall again.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/391.jpg)


Christmas Eve finally came. Adam hadn’t been back to the flat for just over two weeks, not that he hadn’t wanted to, but when ever he had suggested going back to check for mail, Melody had instantly seen through him. She knew that he wanted to check if Morgan had come back. He never got anything important through the mail. Whenever he would return his face would always be sullen and his mood would be no better.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/392.jpg)


The silver tree was decorated in coloured glass baubles and fairy lights that flashed gently. Underneath were presents wrapped in the specific paper that Melody had chosen. Normally Adam would wrap Morgan’s gifts in daft kid’s paper; it was part of their game. He would always try and find the cutest paper possible, everything from Whinnie the pooh to daft little Santa cartoons.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/393.jpg)


The gifts for Melody were wrapped in silver paper to match the tree. Melody had insisted that it had to look sophisticated; she had even criticized his wrapping technique. Sometimes he didn’t know why he bothered.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/394.jpg)


Adam gave the tree one last glare before turning of the lights and going to bed. Melody was already asleep. She had gone to bed early so he could wrap her gifts properly as she had put it; he was fed up with trying to live up to her whims. Surely there was more to life than making sure everything matched and fitted in correctly.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/395.jpg)


He pulled the covers over himself and listened to Melody’s slow breathing. It wasn’t that he didn’t like Melody; it just seemed to him that everything she did was fake. She even dressed him up like some kind of doll. What she saw in him, he had no idea.
He drifted off to sleep as he thought about Morgan. This would be their first Christmas since they met when they wouldn’t be waking up together and him teasing her about Santa coming.

“Adam.” Said Melody gently.
He opened his eyes slightly to see Melody’s smiling face.
“It’s Christmas.” She whispered.
Adam sat up, had she finally given into the excitement of Christmas? He hadn’t expected her to be awake or even waking him up.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/397.jpg)


He followed her into their lounge where the presents seemed to have doubled. Melody put her arms round him, her warm body pressed up against his as she placed a light kiss on his mouth. “Happy first Christmas. “She said smiling.
“Happy first Christmas.” He replied.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/398.jpg)


Adam sat himself on the sofa next to Melody. She pulled out one of the neatly wrapped gifts and handed it to him. “Thank you.” he said as he did the same for her.
She opened her present. Inside was a framed picture of them together. The boarder of the frame was silver decorated with matching roses. He had bought the frame especially knowing how much she liked everything to match.

He opened his, inside were two designer shirts, his heart sank. She was always dressing him up, never happy with how he was or his choice of dress. “They’re lovely.” He said trying to hide his real feelings from his voice.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/399.jpg)


As they exchanged and opened all their gifts for each other, Adam realised he basically had a new wardrobe. There were shirts, jumpers, trousers, jeans and many t-shirts.
“I thought you could throw away all your old stuff now.” Said Melody. “And that nice blue shirt would look good tonight.”
Adam frowned at her. “What's wrong with the stuff I already have?” he asked.
“Oh come one Adam, half that stuff you have had for god knows how long. Don’t you feel embarrassed when you go out?”
“Not really. It doesn’t matter what people think of me.” He said defensively.
She sighed; it was like trying to talk to a wall. “Don’t you want to look nice?”
“Yes, but I like what I like. I don’t see why you’re always trying to dress me up.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/400.jpg)


“Talking of dressing up.” She said ignoring him. “I was saying I think the blue shirt would look nice tonight with the black trousers, or even these jeans.” She said holding up a pair of jeans that looked as if someone had worn them in a fight. They were full of tears and frays he wasn’t sure they were new.
“What do you mean tonight?” he asked.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/401.jpg)


“There is a party that we are going to, I want you too meet some of my Uni friends.”
“Then why can’t I just go as me?”
“Because your scruffy.” She snapped. She was getting angry with him now. Why can’t men just do as they were told?

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/402.jpg)


“Then why are you with me? If the way I look bothers you so much why don’t you shack up with one of your uni friends?” he was angry with her now. Sometimes she could just be so picky. Everything had to be perfect on the outside even if it was falling apart on the inside.
“You’ll wear these clothes tonight.” She yelled. “Or don’t bother coming. Now if you don’t mind I am going to get ready.”
“Its Christmas day for god sake, are you going to spend the whole day getting ready for a night out?” He was shocked, this was mad even for her.
“Yes, and if you don’t like it you know where the door is.” She said as she pointed across the room.
“Fine.” He said. “You spend the day in the bathroom. I’m going out. Happy Christmas.” He said.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/403.jpg)


Adam threw on his clothes and walked out of their apartment. His head was a mess. What did Melody really want from him? He had no money, she didn’t like the way he dressed and she was always finding ways to try and change him. She hated having cosy nights in. All that seemed to matter to her was going to parties. Whenever he went with her he felt like he was on display.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/404.jpg)


The streets outside were white from the night before. He could see children trying to ride their new bikes up and down but the depth of the snow stopped them. Houses still had their curtains shut, but the lights that shone through showed that there would be families in there just getting up and handing presents to each other.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/405.jpg)


He walked slowly until he reached the old building where he and Morgan had shared a flat. A year ago they would be sat in their nightwear exchanging gifts and laughing at each other. The television would be on, playing out some old children’s classic Christmas movie while they sat in a mass of torn paper. Adam smiled sadly to him self as he remembered it. He wished he knew where Morgan was and that she was alright.

Even if she didn’t want to see him. Leaving the way she did just left it as an open chapter in his life. One that he wished he could close.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/406.jpg)


Morgan sat on the couch. The world around her was celebrating Christmas; she could hear the people in the flat above enjoying the festives with their family. She flicked the channel over bringing the queens face onto the screen as she delivered her yearly speech, Morgan stared at the television, not paying attention to what was actually on.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/407.jpg)


For a second Morgan dismissed the clicking noise as it came from the lock mechanism of the front door, but once it reached her she sat up. The door opened slowly and she held her breath frozen to where she sat. In her head she saw her self reaching for the wine bottle that was next to her, but she couldn’t get her body to react as the intruder opened the door further.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/408.jpg)


Blond hair and blue eyes peeked round the gap in the door, it took Morgan a moment to register that it was Adam. She stayed where she was just staring at him, she couldn’t believe it was him, she was sure that he would vanish if she blinked. He stared back at her with equal disbelief and for a minute neither of them spoke.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/409.jpg)


“Morgan?” he asked as he walked over to her, his face softening into a smile. “Morgan?”
Morgan just continued to watch him, her body still wouldn’t listen to her, her mouth wouldn’t move.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/410.jpg)


He rushed over to where she sat and stood in front of her. “Morgan, where have you been?”
She let out the breath she was holding as her temper rose at his question. “Me?” she said, her voice raised.” Where have I been? Where have you been? I have been right here alone.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/411.jpg)


Adam looked down at the floor; he didn’t want to tell her he had moved out. As mad as that sounded he just couldn’t actually say it. Obviously she knew, he hadn’t been home and his stuff was gone, but to confirm to her that he had moved one, he couldn’t think about it.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/412.jpg)


“Oh I get it.” She said. “Your living with Melody aren’t you? I am not here for a while and you pack your bags and bugger off like I never existed. Did you even bother that I wasn’t here? Did you leave the minute I was gone?”
“Of course I bothered, I looked for you.” He replied hurt.
“Yeah? Well its doesn’t look like that to me, looks like as soon as I was out the way you shacked up with that, that…”
“That what Morgan?” he asked.
“Nothing forget it. What have you come here for anyway? Shouldn’t you be home with Melody”? She spat the name out as childishly as she could to make her point.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/413.jpg)


“Don’t slag her off, she helped me when I was searching for you. You had been gone weeks. There was no word, no note, nothing. You had just vanished.
“Yeah I bet she helped you alright, helped you to pack your bags.”
“Morgan your being stupid now.”
“Me stupid?” she yelled. “Don’t you dare call me stupid, you’re the stupid one for moving in with her, you should have…?”
“I should have what Morgan?”
“Nothing. Forget it. Go home.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/414.jpg)


“For god sake Morgan.” He said in frustration. “Tell me what you were going to say.”
“Nothing, I told you go home.”
Adam put his fists up to the side of his head, tension running along the muscles in his arms. “Morgan just say it.” He yelled through gritted teeth.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/415.jpg)


Morgan turned her back on him and concentrated on breathing. She couldn’t tell him, he wasn’t hers any more, she didn’t have the right. It hurt so much, she didn’t realise how much she had bottled up the pain from Adam not being there.

“Morgan. Tell me!”

“You should have stayed here.” She said in a whisper.
“Stayed here? Why? For you to have your little tantrums with me?”
“No.”
“Then why?” he asked.

She answered him but her voice was so low that he couldn’t hear her.
“Why Morgan.”

She replied again

“Morgan god damn it, just tell me.”
She turned to him, but she wouldn’t look into his eyes.
“Morgan?”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/416.jpg)


Tears rolled down her cheeks staining her face. “Because I……. because I love you.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/417.jpg)


Adam didn’t know what to say or how to feel. He watched as she slowly lifted her gaze up to meet his. She finally looked into his eyes, but they stayed blank, he didn’t know how he was supposed to react or what he was supposed to do, he had never realised.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/418.jpg)


Morgan forced her mouth into a fake smile and nodded at him. From the look on his face she knew in that instance that he didn’t feel the same, or even see her like that. To him she would always be that kid that he ran away with. She knew that now. She put her head down and turned away from him.

Adam reached out and grabbed her arm; she looked up at him in shock. “Adam?”

He pulled her closer to him, lining his body up with hers; his hands went to her cheeks and cupped her face. She closed her eyes at the warmth of his body against hers. Adam hesitated for a moment and just watched her, she was beautiful to him, always had been, he had just never admitted it.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/420.jpg)


He smiled as he lowered his face down to hers so that his mouth gently touched her soft lips. Morgan moved in even closer to him, putting her arms around his back to hold him as close as possible. She opened her mouth to him and invited him in, daring him, but not taking the last step.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/421.jpg)


Adam gently explored her mouth, his tongue caressing hers with every gentle flick. The day’s growth of whiskers gently tickling across her skin as his hand slid from her face and down her side, tracing the small curves of her figure until his fingers rested at the bottom of her blouse.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/422.jpg)


He pulled away for a moment to search her face as if seeking permission, Morgan smiled and gently nipped at the flesh on his neck, tasting the sweet salty taste of him mixed in with his spicy cologne.

Adam laughed as she ran her hands up under his top, teasing the flesh on his back with her fingertips.

“Something funny?” she asked.
“Nope. Nothing at all.” He said smiling at her.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/423.jpg)


He lifted her up to him, taking her full weight. She leaned her whole body against him and he savoured the moment, his stomach was flipping, he had never realised how much he had wanted her till now.

“What are you doing?” she asked laughing.
Adam gave her a mischievous grin. “You’ll see.”

Morgan put her arms around his neck and held him as close as she could. He adjusted his grip and walked out of the lounge and into the bedroom.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/424.jpg)


He placed her down on the carpeted floor next to his old bed
"What are..." she tried to ask before he put his finger over her lips to shush her.

Adam dipped his head down to Morgan, only touching her with his lips on hers, his fingers gently went to the buttons on her top, and he opened them one by one slowly exposing her skin to the cool air of the bedroom.



He lent her against the wall and her bare back touched the cold surface causing her to let out a gasp. Adam ran his mouth gently from her lips along her jaw and down to the tender skin of her neck making her skin break out in Goosebumps.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/425.jpg)


Morgan closed her eyes and let the moment she’d dreamed of so long carry her away. She gave herself to him completely and lost herself in their love. After a blissful eternity she opened her eyes to Adam’s penetrating gaze.


“I love you Morgan.” He said as she rested her head on his shoulder. “I always have.”
She pushed her self closer to him as his arms went tighter round her. He never wanted to let her go again, not now, not ever.

Morgan opened her eyes as the sunlight shone through the partly drawn curtains. She stretched her arm across the bed to reach for Adam, but it was empty. She sat up quickly thinking maybe he might have left while she was sleeping. Straining her ears she listened to see if she could hear him in the flat. Silence greeted her.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/427.jpg)


Panicking she got out of bed and threw on her dressing gown. “Adam?” she called. She walked out into the hallway and listened, the falling of water made her heart jump as she realised the shower was running. Her body went from cold to warm in seconds as relief washed over her, taking away her fear.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/428.jpg)


Morgan left Adam in the bathroom to finish his shower. It was good to have him home again, the place seemed brighter with him around, or maybe it was just the fact that he took her thoughts away from the doom and gloom of the place.

She curled up on the sofa. Her whole body still glowing from the feel of Adams touch.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/429.jpg)


Adam watched her from the doorway. For the first time she looked at peace. The whole world seemed to have lifted off her shoulders. He still didn’t know where she had been all this time, but today was not the day to ask. He felt sad that he had to leave, but he had to go back to Melody, even though his head was screaming for him to stay.

"I have to go now." he said softly. "But I'll be back later."

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/430.jpg)


Morgan looked at him and her chest felt like it someone was trying to shove a knife through it. He was leaning against the doorway, his arms folded over his chest. His blonde hair stood in glistening spikes from the shower. She just wanted to run over to him and not let him go.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/431.jpg)


Adam walked over to her and crouched down next to where she sat. He brushed the hair from her face and gently stroked her face with his thumb. "I have to go now Morgan." he repeated.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/432.jpg)


Morgan tilted her head down so that Adam couldn’t see as tears formed at the brim of her eyes. She wanted to pretend that nothing had happened. That Melody didn’t exist and Adam was all hers, but the bitter truth was there. She had given her self to him and now he must go home to his girlfriend.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/433.jpg)


Adam pulled her close to him; he knew she was crying, his own eyes were on the verge of tears himself. He held her as she buried her head into his shirt. Kissing the top of her head he took in the fruit scent of her hair. "I'll be back later." he whispered. "I promise.

Morgan gave a faint nod and pulled away from him, her mouth trying to give a smile that showed him how much she hoped he was telling the truth.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/434.jpg)


He kissed her gently on the mouth trying to savour the feeling of her in his arms, while he was away.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/435.jpg)


Her hand remained touching him as he backed away slowly, just having contact until the very last moment when he was out of reach. "I love you." he said as he turned and walked towards the door.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/436.jpg)


She stared at the door for a moment after Adam closed it behind him listening to the sound of his feet descending down the stairs. She turned towards the window, condensation covered the inside and she wiped it away with her hand. Adam was on the street now; he looked at up Morgan and waved a kiss to her. Placing her warm hand against the cold glass she let the tears slide down her cheeks as she watched him walk away.

The flat was in darkness when Adam arrived home. Obviously Melody was still in bed. He entered their flat and braced himself for the screaming match that would come if she realised he hadn’t been home.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/438.jpg)


He gently opened his bedroom door, the bed looked still made and neat, he couldn’t make out any bumps in the shadows of the room. He reached his arm round and flicked the switch, casting light over the room. She hadn’t been home either.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/439.jpg)


For some reason, he wasn’t sure why. Adam went to the bed and adjusted the covers so it would appear as if he had slept there. He thought he wanted her to know, so she could throw him out and he could go back to Morgan. Over and over in his head while walking home he had imagined Melody screaming at him for not being home. Imagined her piling his stuff up and making it leave, but now he was home he found him self ensuring that that wouldn’t happen.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/440.jpg)


Melody let her self into the flat as Adam came out of the bedroom.
“Afternoon.” He said to her sarcastically.
“Don’t start. If it bothered you so much you would have come. “She spat. “You know where the party was.”
Adam sighed. She was right, but he was angry. Angry that she hadn’t been home to notice his absence.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/441.jpg)


He dropped down onto the sofa, his head was so mixed up. He wanted Melody to find out, but then he didn’t. Why was life never simple?
“Where did you get too yesterday?” she asked him.
“I went back to the flat.” He said not sure if he should continue.
“All day?”
“Yeah, pretty much.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/442.jpg)


Melody looked at him trying to figure out what he had been doing., There was nothing at the flat that could keep him there for so long, not unless… “What were you doing there?” she asked, hoping it wasn’t what she suspected.
“I er. Nothing.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/443.jpg)


“Morgan is back isn’t she? I can tell by the way you are.”
He nodded not daring to meet her eyes, if he looked at her his guilty conscience would call out from his expression.

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/444.jpg)


“Well seems as its boxing day, why don’t you go and get Morgan and we can have a post Christmas Dinner?” She asked him smiling.
Adam frowned. He knew she didn’t like Morgan. Why the change of heart? And would Morgan want to?
“I don’t think she would want to come.” He said trying to get out of it so that he didn’t have to rub Morgan’s nose in the fact that he was living with Melody.
“Oh come on Adam. She has been god knows where for so long now stuck in that crappy flat. She will be starving.”
“Still I don’t think she will.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/445.jpg)


Melody stood in front of him with her hands on her hips. He knew that look; she always did this when she was determined to get her own way.
“You go round there now and go and get her and I’ll sort us something out to eat. I wont take no for an answer. And tell her that if I have to personally go and get her I will.”

 (http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/446.jpg)


Adam sighed. This wasn’t going to be pretty. How did he even ask Morgan? Or even talk her into it. It was such a bad idea. God why did he have to open his big mouth?

Morgan searched through the kitchen cupboard for something to eat. There wasn’t much by the way of food, just a few tins of instant macaroni. Great she thought. A feast fit for a king.
She stopped as she heard the front door unlocking.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/448.jpg)


“Adam?” she asked running to the door.
She threw her arms around him as soon as she saw him.
“Your back early.” She said.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/449.jpg)


Adam looked down and ran his hands through his hair.
“Adam? What's wrong?” she asked fear starting to niggle at her.
“It’s Melody. She er sent me here to ask if you wanted to come for a post Christmas Diner.”
Morgan was taken aback. Why would Melody want her round? They hated each other. Surely in the month she had been gone she hadn’t changed that much.
“I am not really hungry, but tell her thanks.” Said Morgan
Adam pointed to the tin in her hand. “Not hungry?”
“Well... Ok so I am, but why? Why invite me? I can’t sit there with her, not after last night.”
“I know. Tell me about it, but she wouldn’t drop it I had to come and ask you. She said she would come here if you didn’t come.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/450.jpg)


Morgan took a deep breath. “I’ll come for half an hour, and then fake a head ache or something.”
“Thanks.” He said pulling her into his arms.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/451.jpg)


The aroma of hot turkey and gravy drifted out as Adam opened the door for Morgan. Her stomach rumbled as her senses came alive. She could almost taste the food.
“You cooked?” asked Adam as he walked in.
Melody smiled sweetly at him. “No, I cheated sorry. I knew my mum would have some spare, so I drove to her house and pinched some.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/452.jpg)


Morgan watched Melody as she made sure that all the cutlery was in its correct place and the napkins were all positioned the same.
“Sit down both of you.” She said motioning them with her free hand.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/453.jpg)


Adam made his way towards the table as Melody walked up to him. She looked over at Morgan and smiled as she put her arms around Adams neck and kissed him lightly. “Missed you.” She said to him.


Morgan looked away as Melody tried to parade her relationship with Adam under her nose. This was a mistake, she shouldn’t have come. What on earth had she been thinking agreeing to this?

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/454.jpg)


Adam gently pushed Melody away giving her a less than pleased look as he pulled a chair out for Morgan.

Morgan wished that she could just run out and go home, but she didn’t instead she sat and forced her self to thank Melody for the food.

They sat and ate for a while, no one really talking apart from idle chit chat. Melody wasn’t really paying attention. She was only doing this to see how much of a threat Morgan was, but then if she had her way, which she would eventually then Morgan wouldn’t be a threat at all.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/455.jpg)


“So. Where have you been?” asked Melody between mouthfuls of roast potato.
“Melody!” Adam snapped giving her a stern look. He knew Morgan wasn’t one for telling people things; she would come round in her own time and tell him where she had vanished to.
“Oh come on Adam. Like you don’t want to know.”
Morgan cleared her throat and wiped her mouth with a napkin. “It’s alright Adam. Honestly I was surprised you hadn’t asked properly yourself.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/456.jpg)


Melody gave a sarcastic laugh. “Adam just thinks about himself, that’s why he never asked. He’s a man. So come on. Where have you been all this time? Or is it some secret? Or maybe even you have been staying with your dead father.”

He hadn’t brought Morgan to the apartment to be humiliated like this. “Enough” he shouted at Melody. “That was totally uncalled for.”

"It’s alright Adam." said Morgan quietly. "You really want to know where I have been?" she asked turning her attention to Melody.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/457.jpg)


Melody nodded and smiled, waiting for Morgan’s explanation and hoping that she would make her self look stupid in front of Adam.

"I was in the hospital."
"Hospital?" asked Adam shocked. "I checked there, why didn’t they tell me you were there?"
"Because they didn’t know who I was. I was out of it for a month."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/458.jpg)


Melody tuted in the background and Adam turned angrily towards her. "No wonder you think you have seen your father, drugs make you see things." she said sarcastically.

"You've seen your dad?" asked Adam. He was confused, so much had happened to Morgan and he didn’t know anything about it. He couldn’t work out how Melody knew or why she hadn’t said something.

Morgan saw the look in his eyes, as if he wasn’t sure who or what to believe. If she had been in his shoes she probably would have felt the same, but that didn’t stop the look on his face hurting her so much.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/459.jpg)


She held her breath to stop her self from crying; she could feel the heat rising in her cheeks and knew that her eyes were probably going red from the effort.
"This was a bad idea." she said trying to not choke on her words. "I'll see you later."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/460.jpg)


She turned and ran out of their flat as quick as she could. More snow had fallen outside and she slipped as she ran out onto the street. Adam was behind her, she hadn’t noticed him following her down the stairs. All she had wanted to do was get home.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/462.jpg)

"Morgan." he said crouching down to help her up.

She turned to look at him. Tears and snow melted together on her face. "Don’t Adam." she said. "Just let me go home."

"But Morgan I want to understand."
"There is nothing to understand. Go back upstairs to your girlfriend."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/462.1.jpg)


She got up, brushing the wet snow from her clothes. Some of it had soaked through making her skin was cold. She didn’t care, she just wanted to go home and get away from them both. Adam would think she was mad now and as long as he was with Melody she could never have him.

Adam stayed watching her, he didn’t know whether to help her or not. His heart felt like it was breaking as he heard the sobs. “Morgan please.” He said hoping she wouldn’t push him away.

Melody stood behind Adam her face glowing in the misery she had caused.
“Just leave me alone, both of you.” Morgan shouted as she turned and ran.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/461.jpg)


The flat seemed even dingier than normal when Morgan walked in. It felt gloomy and cold, just like her. She stripped her jacket off and walked straight to the bathroom, leaving the flat in darkness.

Orange light filtered through the slats in the blind of her bathroom as the sun began to set outside, lighting up the snow that had settled on the window ledge and casting strange shapes into the room. She shivered as she removed her wet clothes, there was no heating in the flat apart from a small fire in the lounge and that didn’t keep the rest of the place warm.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/463.jpg)


The water from the shower began to heat up and the steam rolled out of the base crawling along the floor and clinging damply to her bare skin. She stepped under the gushing water and allowed it to pummel against her face. She covered her eyes with the palms of her hands, refusing to let any more tears fall and forcing her sobs back down deep into her self. Melody was not going to win this; she was not going to cry.

The thought of Adam coming back to the flat was the one thing that had kept her going, even when the world outside seemed to be enjoying themselves and she was locked in the prison of her home alone. She had kept hoping Adam would come back, but Melody had taken that dream from her now. She had nothing left.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/464.jpg)


She turned under the water and let the heat pound against her tense shoulders hoping it would wash away all the pain and hurt that was buried so deep inside. Everyone she had ever loved had gone and it had all been hear fault. Her father, her mother and now Adam.

Trying to steady herself she reached out and touched the cold tiles. Her body shook as she let go of her emotions and let the sobs run from her body. Her head felt hot as the force of her crying beat against her.

Angrily she took a deep breath and tried to steady her breathing. Her head was in turmoil, she wanted to cry and let it out, but she wanted to hold it back and not give in. ‘just breath’ she said to her self under the water.

Breathing hard she glanced around the empty bathroom. The freezing water pouring out of the shower sent ice cold chills down her back making her shut it off. She wrapped a towel around self and held it close in her arms. “I am stronger than this.” She said to her self. “I can do this.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/465.jpg)


She opened the door to go to her bedroom and almost slammed it shut again. Adam stood leaning against the wall.
“What are you doing here?” she asked her voice shaking and muffled from all the crying.
“I came to see if you were alright.”
“I’m fine. You can go now.”
“Morgan.”
“Don’t Morgan me. Go home.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/466.jpg)


Adam took a step towards her and she stepped back. “Don’t. Just go.”
He didn’t answer; he just stopped not knowing what to say.
“I told you to go,” she said again. “Just leave. Please.”
“I don’t want to leave.”
“You have no choice go back to your girlfriend. I don’t want you to ever come back.”
“Morgan, don’t do this.”
“Do what? You did it. You chose this life; the minute I wasn’t here you shacked up with her. You made your choice now I am making mine.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/467.jpg)



“How will you live if I go?”
“I’ll find a job.” She shouted at him. She just wanted him to leave. It hurt so much to have him standing right there in front of her knowing he wasn’t hers. “I can manage I don’t need your help. Besides you have another home to pay for.”
“Melody’s father pays for that.” He said without thinking. He cringed as he wished he had bitten his lip.
“Get out.” She screamed at him. She was crying again, but she was angry, she wanted him gone.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/468.jpg)


Adam fought back his own tears. All he wanted to do was hold her in his arms and wipe away all the pain and hurt. The look on her face as she screamed for him to leave was enough to tear right through him and break his heart. If being away from her meant that he wouldn’t hurt her anymore, and then maybe it was for the best.

After all doesn’t the song go 'if you love someone set them free?'

Morgan slid down the cold wood of the door as Adam closed it behind him. She had never felt pain so bad, so strong. It felt like her whole being was breaking in two.

Her cries came out as heaving sobs as if the world was never going to be happy again.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/470.jpg)


Adam stopped outside the door and placed both hands against the cool wood. Hot tears rolled down his cheeks. He had ruined everything. Leaning on his hands he hung his head down, going over the events leading up to this moment.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/471.jpg)


He had to let her go, let her get on with her life without him in, but she was in his life, under his skin and firmly wedged in his chest like a knife. It felt like he was being torn in two. Pain so bad pressed against his rib cage that he wanted to scream in emotional agony.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/472.jpg)


He could hear Morgan crying through the door. He had to fight his whole body and not go back in and hold her. He wanted to tell her that everything would be alright again. That he would fix it and make it all better. God knows that was what he wanted to do, but to go back would just hurt Morgan even more. This way was better for her.

Letting the pain ride him he sank down to the floor and curled up in his own arms. He let it all poor out quietly as he listened to her. He hated himself at that moment for hurting her so badly. He loved her so much, would die for her, but he had to stay away for her sake. He just hoped that she would be ok.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/473.jpg)


He was just glad that he had been able to spend that one night with her and had held her so close. He could still feel the touch of her so close to him. It was almost as if he thought about it hard enough he could turn time back and just be there with her in his arms/

Wiping his face with the back of his hand, he stood up and forced him self to walk down the stairs and out of the building, even though every bone in his body wanted to turn around.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/474.jpg)


The walk home seemed quicker than he had wanted it to be. Lost in his own thoughts he hadn’t even noticed him self walking back to his flat. Images of Morgan’s tear strained face hunted him like a waking nightmare.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/475.jpg)


Melody had cleared away the plates and food when he walked back in. She was sat at the dining table happily chatting away to one of her friends. He felt him self getting angry as he watched her. How can she be like this after what she had just done?

"I've gotta go." she said looking directly at Adam. "Yeah 8 o clock. Ok bye."

"You’re going out tonight?" he snapped. "After what you have just done. You’re going out?"

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/476.jpg)


Melody stared at him as if afraid, but he knew she wasn’t. This was just another one of her little acts. She was daddies little rich girl and she knew how to play these games.

"What the hell happened before? What did you get out of doing that to Morgan?"

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/477.jpg)


As if on queue, Melody's face fell into a pout trying to portray that she was just as hurt by it all.
"Don’t start Melody. This is not a game. You were damn right cruel before. I've had it with this crap."

Melody put her arms around her self and held on tight as she could. Her eyes filled as a tear escaped and rolled down her cheek. "I'm sorry Adam. I just get jealous and then I turn. I see the way you look at Morgan and I just saw red. I'm sorry."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/478.jpg)


Adam slumped down in the chair opposite her and reached for her hands,

"I love you Adam, I don’t want to loose you. I'm really really sorry."
Adam sighed and put his head down. How could two girls make him feel so bad? This was all his fault and he needed to fix it, he just didn’t know how. "You won’t loose me Melody, but you need to stop trying to change me."

He reached over and held her hand to try and reassure her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/479.jpg)


Melody nodded and walked around the table to Adam. Her eyes were red, but not puffy. He held onto her pressing his cheek against her. The dampness of her face made his skin clammy. She held him in a tight hug as she managed to hold her tears back.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/480.jpg)


"I'm scared you will leave me for Morgan. You don’t see what I see. When you look at Morgan you look at her as if no one else exists. You never have that look for me."
"I won’t leave you for Morgan. I won’t be seeing Morgan again; she doesn’t want anything to do with either of us."

Morgan fidgeted uneasily on the sofa. The events of earlier playing over in her mind. Her chest grew tighter and the off white walls seemed to be closing in around her, chocking her. She had to get out of here; there were so many memories over the last 24 hours that she didn’t think she could take anymore.

She grabbed her keys and ran out of the flat, no stop for her coat to protect her from the winter weather outside.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/482.jpg)


The snowy pavements glowed white against the dark night. The day’s footprints had been covered by the fresh layer of snow. Cars had become little white hills that decorated the side of the road.

Morgan tried to run, but the snow was too deep for her to move fast enough. She had no idea where she was going, she just continued on autopilot until she arrived at her parents’ house.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/483.jpg)


The windows of the house all glowed with soft yellow light; she could almost feel the warmth coming out from them.

The trees flashed its leaves in all different as the fairy lights that had been wrapped around it blinked in sequence.

Morgan crept up to the window and peeked through the gap in the curtains. Her family sat on the other side of the glass enjoying their Boxing Day meal.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/484.jpg)


She watched as her father reached over and shared a cracker with Ethan. Her mothers beautiful smile shone as she laughed at Cade pretending to sulk when Ethan won the biggest half.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/485.jpg)


Morgan pressed her face against the glass as the distant voices of her lost family floated out around her. If she knocked would they welcome her with open arms? Would they invite her in and let her become part of the scene that she saw in front of her?

Would they forgiver her?

One day.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/486.jpg)


The icy chill that was building up cooled the tears on her cheeks, her skin felt chapped and bitten by the cold. Her cold cries stayed silent as she stared wistfully at her father, those arms that had once held her and picked her up as a child were now filled with her Sister Alex.

Alex and Ethan probably didn’t even know she existed, they certainly wouldn’t remember her. She wondered if her mother and father still missed her. For so long she had assumed that her father was dead, executed for her crimes. But he wasn’t he was here living and free. Did they know she was alive or had they given up looking?

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/487.jpg)


The snow soaked through her jeans as she sat back and leant against the wall just listening to their voices. She wrapped her arms around her body trying to get some heat. If only she could just knock on the window and let them know she was here.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/488.jpg)


If she hadn’t shot Jimmy how would things have turned out? Would he have killed her mother that night? So many what ifs.

Once she was the apple of her father’s eye now she was just a photographic memory on the wall, not part of their lives and now not even part of Adams.

Everything she touched went wrong. From now on it would just be her and her alone, no one else would suffer for her errors.

I really hope that Morgan gets her self straightened out. Does she even know if she is even wanted? Is she wanted?
 
I personally think that by shoving Adam out the door she should see how hard it is to be alone. Though personally, I think, Adam needs to do some growing up as well.

The alarm chimed relentlessly on the side table. Morgan groaned as she was pulled from her dream and reached over to silence it.


It had been just over a month since she last saw Adam or Melody. She tried not to think about him or what they could have had. Going over and over it in her mind wouldn’t do her any good. Adam belonged to Melody now; she just had to accept it.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/490.jpg)


Grudgingly she heaved herself out of her bed. She had found her self a job in a clothes shop. It didn’t pay much, but it was enough to feed her. She liked her boss though, Kirsten. She was young too, no older than 25 Morgan guessed, but she was from a totally different life style. A life where you always had a family to go back to, or if you were lonely you could just pick up the phone and talk to your father for a chat.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/491.jpg)


Sighing Morgan started her usual routine of getting up, jumping in the shower and then eating her bowl of cereal before running out the door. Though lately she had been skipping breakfast. The thought of it making her stomach turn. By lunch time she was normally starving and ready to go back to bed.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/492.jpg)


The shop was bright and cheerful, with soft lilac paper decorating the walls and dresses that hung from hangers lavishly displaying their high price tags.

As normal Kirsten was behind the counter going through the latest invoice and checking in the newest delivery.

"Morning" called Morgan cheerfully as she walked past and headed to the staff room to dump her bag.
"Hey Morgan." said Kirsten not even looking up from her list.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/493.jpg)

The bell on the door chimed annoyingly as Morgan came back out into the shop. The chimes seemed to go right through her grating harshly inside her head.

Maybe she was coming down with a cold, she thought to her self. Even after a full night sleep her body was feeling tired and exhausted.

Maybe it was just down to all the stress of everything that had happened with Adam and Melody. She just didn’t know.

Morgan smiled politely as two women entered the shop, she could deal with her problems later.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/494.jpg)

"Would you like any help?" Morgan asked in the politest voice she could manage.
"Yes please,” said the older woman who Morgan assumed must have been the mother of the other one. "Do you......"

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/495.jpg)


Morgan didn’t hear the rest of what the woman said, it was as if someone had suddenly put a muffle over the woman’s mouth.

Morgan’s head felt light as if she was coming out of herself. Little black spots began to form over her eyes, fitting together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

Something hard and solid smashed into her side causing her jaw to clamp down and slam her teeth into each other.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/496.jpg)


"Morgan? Can you hear me?" a voice in the distance called to her. She wanted to reach out and touch it, but she couldn’t.

The voice changed as her name was called again. "Morgan?"
She heard the familiarity of Kirsten’s voice calling her.

"Morgan, answer me. Are you ok?"
She tried to move but her head felt so heavy. What was she doing on the floor?
"I.. er." she started, but the confusion in her head made her loose track of what she was trying to say.

Morgan lifted her head again sending the pain of hundreds of little pins through her temples.

Morgan held the heal of her hands over her eyes to help ease the pain with darkness. Slowly it ebbed away allowing her to think clearly again. She lowered her hands and scanned the faces watching her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/498.jpg)

"I'm ok, just a funny turn."
"Just a funny turn?" asked Kirsten shocked at how easily Morgan was dismissing this.
“I’ll be fine in a minute. Its happened before, it’ll pass.” Said Morgan as she attempted to get up. “Can I just take five minutes out back? Then I’ll be alright.”
“Er.. yeah sure.” Replied Kirsten, not quite sure if she should send Morgan home or to the doctors.

The two women and Kirsten watched as Morgan walked unsteadily to the staff door.
“She should get checked out.” Said the older woman.
“Yeah, you try telling her.” Said Kirsten. “She can be stubborn when she wants to be.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/500.jpg)

“Anyway, have you seen anything you like?” asked Kirsten. She hoped that if she could get these two out that no one else would come in and she could close the shop for a few minutes while she sorted Morgan out.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/501.jpg)

Morgan sat on the black sofa at the back and leant her head back. She could feel her body starting to cool down again after her episode. This was the third time this had happened now. She didn’t want to go to the doctor though. The thought of her talking to any kind of official person scared the hell out of her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/502.jpg)

She looked up as Kirsten came through the door. “How you doing Morgan?” asked Kirsten. “Felling better?”
“Yeah it was nothing really.” She heard her self lying. She knew it must be something, but to admit it to Kirsten would mean she would have to admit it too her self.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/503.jpg)

“So how many times as this happened?” asked Kirsten.
Morgan looked down; she knew the answer would make Kirsten lecture her. “This is the third time.” She muttered.
“Third time? Morgan you have to get your self checked out.”
“I’m fine honestly. It passes.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/504.jpg)

“Oh yeah you look fine to me, your face is all flushed, you looked red hot before and on top of that you passed out for no reason.”
Morgan looked down at the ground. She knew Kirsten was right, but she didn’t want to hear it.

“There’s more to this isn’t there?” asked Kirsten. “You’ve not just been passing out have you?”
“Well…”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/505.jpg)

“Well? Well what.”
Morgan took a deep breath. “No. I have been tired and erm…”
“And?”
“And I can’t eat at the moment. Every time I do or even think about it turns my stomach.”

Kirsten sighed. “You should go to the doctors. Would you like me to take you?”
“No!” said Morgan a little more abrupt than she had meant to. “I mean no thank you.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/506.jpg)

They sat in silence for a while. Kirsten could see that Morgan wasn’t well. If only she would do something about it.

Kirsten stomach dropped as it suddenly dawned on her. She had felt like this, she knew what this could be. But Morgan? No was it possible?
“Morgan?” she said cautiously afraid of Morgan’s reaction to her next question.
 “Are you pregnant?”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/507.jpg)

Morgan’s eyes quickly snapped on Kirsten’s. Pregnant? No.
“That’s impossible I don’t even have a boyfriend. I haven’t even slept….” Her sentence trailed off as memories of Christmas night came back to her. Her night with Adam. God it couldn’t be.



Morgan’s bottom lip started to tremble. This couldn’t be happening, just when she was getting him out of her life there was a possibility she could be carrying his child. No no it can’t be true they only slept together twice. She couldn’t have got pregnant that easily.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/508.jpg)

Morgan got up and thought it over. No this couldn’t be happening that couldn’t be the reason, Kirsten saw the horror on Morgan’s face and went over to her pulling her into her arms. “It’ll be ok Morgan.” She said. “You take the afternoon off, go to the chemist, do a test and then come back when you feel up to it.”

“You’re assuming I am, like we already know.”
“I have had three babies, I know the signs and you have them. If your not then get your self to the doctor because something is wrong. Now get your coat and take the rest of the day off.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/509.jpg)

Morgan shook her head; she was not going to accept this. No way. “I am ok, I’ll stay.”
“Morgan!”
“No Kirsten. Please I am alright now. Just let me get back to work.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/510.jpg)

Kirsten sat back down and sighed. She tried, but if Morgan wouldn’t listen then there was nothing she could do about it.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/511.jpg)

The day dragged by. Morgan just couldn’t keep her thoughts away room what Kirsten had said, no mater how hard she tried.

She sat behind the till staring out the window when the last customer came in. Morgan didn’t even notice, she didn’t bother to lift her head. Kirsten had gone to the bank to drop of some of the day’s money before closing.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/512.jpg)

“Didn’t realise people got paid to stare out of the window.” Said the customer who had approached the counter.
Morgan looked round, it took a second for her to register the woman stood in front of her.
“Hello Morgan.”
“Melody.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/513.jpg)


“I was wondering if you could help me.” Said Melody with a smile. “With it being Valentines day in couple of weeks, I am looking for some special underwear.”
She watched as Morgan tried to hide her feelings from her face and smiled to her self as she saw her failing.
“With it being Valentines,” she continued. “I am going to propose.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/514.jpg)


Kirsten walked back into the shop just in time to see Morgan stop her self from being sick and running out to the back of the store.
“Well that was rude.” Said Melody.
Kirsten walked over to her and gave her an apologetic smile. “I am sorry about that; she hasn’t been feeling well for the last couple of days. How can I help you?”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/515.jpg)


Morgan leant over the bowl of the toilet her stomach giving dry heaves as she tried to throw up the pain. Bitch, bitch she screamed over and over in her head. Of all the days to come in and do that she chose this one.


Why couldn’t they just move away so she had no chance of seeing any of them, especially Melody. Then she wouldn’t have to watch them together. What if they had a child? What if Melody did propose and he accepted.

God this was stupid.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/516.jpg)


She went over to the sink and splashed cold water on her face. One thing at a time. She had to know if she was pregnant. Hiding wasn’t going to make it go away. On the way home she could stop at the chemist and get a test. Know one has to know after al. She wouldn’t have to tell Adam, she could be the one to move away. Move away and start fresh.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/517.jpg)


Kirsten had closed up and Melody was gone when Morgan came out from the back. “You ok?” asked Kirsten.
“Yeah, sorry about that. I’ll get off now if that’s ok?”
“Course it is. And if you don’t feel any better tomorrow, don’t you dare come to work.” She said laughing.

“Night Kirsten.”
“Night Morgan, you take care.”

Morgan sat at the kitchen table staring at the little pink box. In less than five minutes she would know if she was pregnant or not. She had stopped off on the way home and forced her self to buy a test before she had chance to change her mind. But sat looking at it on the table just made it all seem too real.

What am I doing? She thought. I can’t be pregnant this is just stupid.
She picked the box up and turned it over and over in her hand. Two lines for positive and one line for negative. Easy.

Then why did it just seem so hard to do?

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/519.jpg)


Forcing her self she grabbed the box and walked into the bathroom. It wasn’t hard, she could do this.

Her chest was banging so hard after she had read the instructions over and over and eventually take the test. She stared at the little white stick praying for just one line to arrive.

3 minutes the box said, but this felt like a life time. The seconds seemed to have slowed down to an almost stop on her watch.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/520.jpg)


Loud banging on the door made her jump. She quickly checked her watch again. 1 Minute. “Come on come on” she said out loud willing the line to appear.

A second lot of banging echoed around the flat. Morgan stuck the test on the back of the sink in frustration. She would get rid of whoever was at the door and then the test would be ready. Two birds, one stone.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/521.jpg)

It was probably just Kirsten anyway, wanting to check that she was ok. She opened the door ready to tell Kirsten everything was fine with her best smile, but as she opened the door her face dropped.
“What do you want?” she said as Melody’s perfect white smile greeted her.
“Can I come in?” asked Melody.
“No you can’t.” Melody ignored her and walked straight into the flat. “Did you not hear me? I said no,”
“Oh I heard you Morgan, I just wasn’t listening.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/522.jpg)


“What do you want?”
“Look I wont beat around the bush here. I want you out of Adams life.”
“I am not in his life anymore.”
“Oh yes you are. He still pays your rent doesn’t he?”

“So that’s it you want me to pay for my self? Fine, deal, now go.”
“Oh Morgan as if it is that easy, the minute you stop accepting the payments he is going to be round her like a shot.”
“So what do you want me to do about it?”

Morgan watched curiously as Melody rummaged around her handbag. “Here take this.”
“What is it?” said Morgan as she reached for the paper.
“It’s a cheque. £10,000 for you to move and start a fresh on the condition that you don’t tell Adam where you are or contact him again.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/523.jpg)


Morgan looked at the cheque. She could certainly use the money, but could she just wipe Adam out totally. He wasn’t in her life at the moment, but at least she still had the option of seeing him if she wanted. But this, this was final.

“I can’t take it. Give the money back to daddy.” Said Morgan thrusting the cheque back into Melody’s hand.
“You can’t have him Morgan so why not take the money and run?”
“Because I don’t need you to buy me off. I have already told Adam I don’t want to see him that’s enough. I will stop the rent money from him too.”

“Don’t make any rash decisions Morgan. With Adams money stopping what would you live on? Will you go back to being on the street?” said Melody. “You think about it while I use your bathroom.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/524.jpg)


Melody was down the hall and into the bathroom before Morgan had chance to register what was about to happen. Oh god no. Please don’t let her see.

Morgan ran to the bathroom door and knocked. “Melody I want you to leave. I’ll accept.”
Just please don’t see what's on the sink she thought to her self.
“Melody come on. I said ok, now go. Please.” She said almost pleading.

Melody came out of the bathroom and smiled. “I knew you’d change your mind.”
“Yeah well you made a point ok. Now will you just go?”
“Ah come on, don’t you want a chat for old time’s sake?”
“No I want you to leave. Don’t act like we are friends Melody, we never have been and never will be. Now just go.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/525.jpg)


“I would.” Said Melody, “But I would rather watch your face when you see that your test is positive.” Melody lifted up Morgan’s test and flashed it in front of her face so she could see the two lines.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/526.jpg)


Morgan swallowed hard as her world came crashing down.
“I think you will defiantly be needing my cheque now wont you?” Laughed Melody as she threw the test on the floor and sauntered out of the flat.

Melody was still laughing as she got home. Stupid girl she thought. How on earth would anyone get her knocked up? They had to be out of their minds. Poor guy who ever he was.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/528.jpg)

Adam was sat at the table reading the paper as Melody came in. “You look pleased with your self.” He said looking up.
“Yeah, you could say that.”
He put his paper down and got up to walk over to her. “Want to tell me?”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/529.jpg)

“I saw Morgan today.” She said.
“Morgan? Really where?” Suddenly interested in what Melody had to tell him.
“At her home.”

Adam was confused. “What were you doing at the flat?”
“I went to tell her that seems she is working she doesn’t need you to pay her rent anymore.”
“She’s working?”
“Yeah. She has a job in a clothes shop.”
“So you thought because she is working I would stop helping her?”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/530.jpg)

“Well yeah, the only reason you pay her rent is to help her. Anyway that’s not the thing. It gets better.”
“Better?”
“Yeah not only is she working, but she said she will stop taking rent off you and guess what… this is the best bit.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/531.jpg)

Adam didn’t know if he wanted to know, what she had told him already was bad enough. Morgan paying her own rent was like she was finally closing this part of her life.

“Come on Adam guess.”
“I can’t just tell me.”
“Well your gonna love this.” Said Melody. “She has got her self a boyfriend.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/532.jpg)

Adams face dropped. A boyfriend? She really was moving on. He hadn’t seen her for a month, but he always thought after some cooling down time she would come back.
“You have met him?”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/533.jpg)

“No no, but while she was thinking about my che…. “Melody shut her mouth quickly as she realised what she was about to say. The excitement of seeing Morgan in such a mess had made her mouth run away with her.
“What were you just going to say? Thinking about your what?”

“Nothing it doesn’t matter.”
“Yes Melody it does. It sounded like you were going to say cheque.” He stared at her in the eyes, trying to see what she was thinking. “You haven’t tried to pay her off have you?”

“So what if I have?”
“For god sake Melody what is wrong with you. What the hell did you do that for.” He shouted.
“Don’t you raise your voice to me. She is just as bad, she took it.” She spat out trying to hurt him. “She probably needs it now anyway.”
“And what's that supposed to mean?”
“Little tramp has got her self up the duff. I mean come on look at her she can’t even look after her self and now she is carrying some poor saps baby.”
“What?...”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/534.jpg)

Adam pushed Melody out the way and went for his coat. God knows what state melody had left Morgan in.

“If you walk out that door we are through, I know where you’re going.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/535.jpg)

Adam walked back and glared at her. “We were through a long time ago Melody. In fact I don’t think we ever began. You never wanted me for me; I couldn’t even tell you why you’re with me.”
“Because I always get what I cant have Adam. Haven’t you realised that yet.” She said laughing at him. “Also it had the plus side of ticking my daddy off. Do you know how much he keeps trying to pay me to end it with you? Every so often he ups the prize.  If we had stuck it for another few months I wouldn’t have had to work, ever.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/536.jpg)

Adam walked right up to her so that his face was level with hers. “Your pathetic do you know that. You’re so superficial and manipulating it’s untrue. Run back to your daddy little girl.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/537.jpg)


“You’re the pathetic one. Always letting Morgan sponge off you. She’s the one who has been manipulating you not me. I mean look what you have done for her over the years, and she repays you by getting knocked up by some guy.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/538.jpg)


Adam laughed he couldn’t help it. “Do you know something Melody? That guy, the one you keep going on about. The father of her unborn child.”

“Yeah poor sod.”
“Yeah? Well that’s me. That is my baby she is carrying.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/539.jpg)


Melody clenched her teeth shut and slapped him across the face as hard as she could.

“You bastard.”


(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/540.jpg)



“Good bye Melody.”

Adam ran as fast as he could to his old flat. He ran over roads with out looking as cars honked their horns at him. He ran down the streets nearly knocking people over as he went, but all that was on his mind was getting to Morgan. What state would she be in? Would she tell him to get lost? Was it defiantly his baby? Was Melody even telling the truth or was this just one of her games? There were so many questions.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/542.jpg)


He saw the block of flats ahead of him; the light was on illuminating his second floor flat. He hoped she was there. He fished his keys out of his pocket as he ran; Morgan had forgotten to take them back, luckily.

He took the stairs two at a time, nearly running straight into one of his old neighbours and knocking her down the stairs. “Sorry.” He mumbled breathlessly.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/543.jpg)


The door was unlocked when he reached his old place. He opened it slowly, not wanting to startle Morgan. He looked around and saw her. Curled up on the floor sobbing.
“Morgan.” He said as the pain of seeing her like this flowed into his voice. This was all his fault. He had caused her all this pain. Maybe she was right a month ago when she told him to get lost.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/544.jpg)


He went over to her and lifted her up. “Morgan, its me Adam.”
She looked up at him with her tear stained face. She opened her mouth to talk, but her voice was scratchy from all the crying she had done since Melody left.
“God Morgan, I’m so sorry.” He said as he bent down to her and pulled her onto his lap. “I’m sorry Morgan.” He said again.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/545.jpg)


She clung to him as hard as she could as the tears ran from her face and down onto his shoulder. She didn’t care that she hated him, at that moment there was no where she wanted to be except in his arms.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/546.jpg)


He held on to her tighter, just holding letting her know that he was there for her. He would fix this, make it all better again. His chest hurt seeing her like this. He loved her and it was killing him to watch her breaking down.
He held her until her sobs stopped, until her body stopped trembling.
“Morgan?” he asked cautiously. “Morgan, talk to me.”
She looked up at him; her face was all red and blotchy. Her fringe damp and stuck to her forehead, but he didn’t care, to him she was still beautiful.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/547.jpg)


She looked down at her hand and he followed her gaze. Her fist was tightly clenched around a white piece of plastic. He moved to take hold of it and she passed it to him. Two bright blue lines shone out at him.

He brought his gaze back up to hers. “I know” he said softly.
She nodded as her eyes began to fill again.
“Morgan don’t cry.” He said as he wiped the tears from before away.
“I’m sorry.” She whispered.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/548.jpg)


He pulled her face closer to his and gently kissed her mouth. “You have nothing to be sorry for. You’re carrying my child Morgan. It’s wonderful.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/549.jpg)


“Really?” she asked half laughing and half crying.
“Really.” He said as he pulled her closer again and rested his head on her shoulder. “I love you so much. This is the best thing that could have happened.”
“I love you too.”

She stepped into the hot bubbles in the bath and lowered herself gently. Leaning back she let the heat seep through her skin and relax her muscles.

Her hand went to her flat stomach as she imagined the little person growing in there. It seemed strange to think that there was a new life just under her skin. Some one that was part of her and part of Adam, it seemed impossible.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/551.jpg)


“Its weird isn’t it?” said Adam from the doorway where he had been watching her.
She tilted her head in his direction and smiled. “Yes it is. I don’t think it has sunk in properly.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/552.jpg)

He walked over to her and sank his hand into the hot water, his fingers gently caressing the bare skin on her stomach. “This little one will want for nothing. I promise.”
“You’re getting wet.” Said Morgan looking at the sleeve of his shirt.
“I don’t care.” He laughed. He raised his hand up and brushed her damp hair back. “As long as I am here with you I don’t care what happens. And a bit of bath water certainly can’t scare me away.”
“Even if the flat burns down?” she asked playfully.
“He lifted his head up and breathed in. “Ah bugger.” He said as he bent down and gave her a chaste kiss before running back to the kitchen.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/553.jpg)


He set her food out on the table as he waited for her to finish in the bath. It wasn’t much, but it was food and he was betting she hadn’t eaten.

He smiled as he saw her walk down the hall in her dressing gown.
“Your diner awaits you madam.” He said in the daftest accent he could manage.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/554.jpg)


She laughed at him as he pulled the chair out for her and helped sit her in it.
“Would madam care to try the house wine?”
“I don’t have any wine and I can’t drink it.”
“Oh no you can drink this one. It’s called glass of H2O. And it’s perfect with any meal.”
“Adam you’re mad.”
“Yeah yeah, but it made you laugh didn’t it?”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/555.jpg)


Adam watched as Morgan quickly polished off her meal.
"Better?" he asked.
"Much better."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/556.jpg)


He slipped off his chair and walked round to her. Looking down at her he held his hand out to help her up. A cheeky grin spread across his face as he used her hand to pull her closer to him so the full line of her body touched his.

"Tomorrow I am going to take you out and spoil you rotten." he whispered in her ear. "But tonight I just want to hold you and never let you go again."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/557.jpg)


Morgan leant her head against his warm chest. She should be angry with him, but she couldn’t be. Not at that moment, she was too happy to have him back. Pushing the doubt and fear to the back of her mind she just enjoyed him holding her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/558.jpg)


He dipped his head down and softly kissed her. “Bed time for you.” He said as he pulled away to look at her.
“I just want to stay right here.” She whispered as she placed her head against his shoulder.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/559.jpg)


He squeezed her lightly so not to hurt her. “You can stay right here.” He said patting his shoulder. “In bed. I’ll hold you all night. I’m never letting go again.”
She smiled and let him lead her to the bedroom. The room was cold and dark, but with Adam there with her she didn’t feel it. It was if he warmed the place up and made it brighter by just being there.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/560.jpg)


He lay back on the bed and patted the empty side, motioning for her to join in. Letting her dressing gown fall to the floor, she stood in front of him in her shorts and t shirt. She looked down at her stomach and ran her hand softly over it. “I can’t believe it’s real.” She said to him. “That there is a tiny person in there.”

He stayed watching her for a moment, just taking in the beauty of her red hair and bright blue eyes. He loved to be able to just look at her.
“Come on he said.” Holding his hand out.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/561.jpg)


She smiled and got into bed next to him. He pulled her towards him and wrapped his arms around her as if she would vanish if he let go. She looked him straight in the eyes. Was this it? Would he stay forever?

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/562.jpg)


Morgan drifted happily off to sleep in the warmth of Adams arms.
He lay there just watching her. Her breathing grew shallower as she drifted deeper and deeper.

right Oddball I just downloaded the three stooges and I have it on good authority that the attack Hares are ready to move.. (Where they are moving to I don't know, but they are moving...) Also can we wait till 10 am? *looks slightly red in the face* It seems that elite cammando princessess.. don't get up till 9 am... But they swear they will be ready...
 
Be warned Flid we will attack at dawn or maybe ten am.. You will be surprised... As we will sneak attack.. It will be splendid the attack Hares will be moving in their camo red military jackets. The three stooges will hit your flank.. or something if they don't get into a pie fight.. The commando Princessess are going to give you such a makeover... That is if they get up on time..
 
So name Morgans baby Keller.. I would hate to see this happen to such a sweet person..
 
Oh wait you named a character in the next story Keller? You are an evil person Flid.. It was going to be a splendid surprise attack at dawn. around 10 am. Next time we will prevail Oddball I swear it.

You cannot just walk around the neighborhoods in an EP (at least so far!) I think Flid just has a knack at making it look like they are... lots of scenery!

Oh ok, I get it now. It would be nice though if they could. I was just wondering cause I saw I think it was Angel III a sim movie and I saw how they were walking around and I saw sims in thier apartments and the Angel walked around the neighborhood, but like you said, it could be lots of scenery.

He loved the way she looked as she slept, he had never watched her properly before. Her mouth opened slightly and her face formed different expressions as she went through what ever she was dreaming about.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/564.jpg)


Adams eyes slowly closed while he watched her, drifting off into his own dreams of the future and what he and Morgan would do. Dreaming about the little life that was growing inside her.

He awoke suddenly a few hours later. Morgan was still beside him, hers eyes wide open.
"Morgan? Are you ok?"

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/565.jpg)


She nodded slowly. He pulled her closer and enveloped her in his arms. "I'm here for good now. This is it, you and me against the world."
She held onto him as tight as she could, reassuring herself that he was still there.

She had woken up quickly expecting him to not be there next to her, expecting it all to have been some cruel dream. Doubt still niggled at the back of her mind though. Would he really stay? Did he want to?
Did he think she was as crazy as Melody had made out?

So many things went through her head. She pulled out of Adams arms and got out of bed. The flat was cold, but she didn’t feel it. She needed to clear her head, to get things off her chest and out in the open. She smiled at Adam as she walked out of the room and went to the lounge to sit and try to sort her thoughts out.
(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/566.jpg)


"My father’s alive." she said as he followed her and sat down. "I saw him the night I hit Melody. He was in town with Ethan."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/567.jpg)

Adam didn’t know what to say, he didn’t know how to respond. For the first time she was opening up to him and he didn’t want to spoil that by saying something wrong and scaring her. Instead he stroked her hair and let her carry on.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/568.jpg)

Morgan stood up, this was going over and over in her head, her whole body felt uncomfortable.

"He actually looked at me Adam. He walked past me and stared right into my eyes and smiled. I wish he had recognised me."

"I saw him at Christmas too. I know where they live. I have been there a few times, but I watched them through the window. Do you think they miss me?" she asked pulling back to look at him for his response.
"Of course they miss you Morgan. Who wouldn’t, but they have to carry on with their lives." he said. "Maybe you should speak to them, let them know its you." he suggested.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/569.jpg)


Tears rolled down from her eyes as pain knotted deep inside her. Pain that she had kept locked away from everyone including her self.
"I've thought about it, but what if they don’t want me? What if too much time has passed and they turn me away."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/570.jpg)


Adam leant over and wrapped his arms tightly around her. "Why on earth would you think that? He asked shocked. "Your parents love you; they would never turn you away."

Morgan pulled back, as much as she wanted to curl up against him and cry she couldn’t. She had to get this out, she just couldn’t hold onto it anymore.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/571.jpg)


“After what I did, why would they want me back? I ruined everything.”
“You ran away from the foster home and tried to take care of your little brother. That’s not so bad Morgan.” He said trying to reassure her.
She shook her head. “That’s not it.”

He frowned confused. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/572.jpg)


She buried her face in her hands. Adam wasn’t sure if he should hold her and try to comfort her or just let her get it all out.

She lifted her head and looked at him before he had chance to decide.
“You don’t get it do you. My mother, she was being attacked. He had plagued our lives for as long as I could remember, first taking my uncle and nearly killing him. He did so much to our family, but I did the final thing and I ruined it. What I did was worse then anything he ever did.”

Adam watched her, he didn’t know what to say, he didn’t know what she could have done that was so bad.
“What did you do?” he asked daring him self to ask.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/573.jpg)


“It was all my fault. My fault we went into care. My fault my father went to prison. So why? Why would my family want me back?” she said almost yelling the last part.

“Morgan, you’re not making sense. What did you do?”

Morgan fell to her knees and hunched into her self screaming deeply in anger. “I killed him Adam.” She yelled. “I took my fathers gun and I killed him.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/574.jpg)


“I stood there as he beat my mother, lifted the gun and fired. I never for even a second thought about what I was doing. I just killed him like that.”

Adam swallowed hard. He couldn’t believe she had never told him any of this before. She had never really opened up to him.

He watched her as loud sobs shook her body as she cried in frustration and anger.
“If I hadn’t shot him, I would have my father and my mother. I would have a family.” She cried

Adam crawled over to her and pulled her onto his lap. He cried with her as she cried for everything that she had lost. “You have me.” He said through his tears. “I am your family.” He buried his head into her hair as he cried for them both. If he had been better, if he had seen the real Morgan he would have known all this, but all he had done was cause her more pain, more tears and for that he was sorry.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/575.jpg)


Adam pulled her up and held her until the sobbing ceased and her body gave way to the post crying shivers.
"It was a brave thing to do Morgan. Not a bad thing. You were protecting someone that you love; there is nothing wrong with that."
"But I ruined everything."
"No you didn’t. If you hadn’t have done what you did then he would have killed your mother. Wouldn’t that be worse?" he asked. "Your father loves you. If he didn’t he wouldn’t have gone to prison. He wouldn’t have taken the blame so that you could have a life."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/576.jpg)


"But I let them down." she said continuing to argue with him.
"No you let your father down. He sacrificed his life so that you could have one, but you didn’t take the chance. You have hidden away with me. You need to stand up now and face to world."

He saw the pain on her face as he spoke, he was being harsh and he knew it, but she needed to hear this no matter how much it hurt. He reached over and cupped her face in his hand. "You have to make a choice now. You have me, and we have our baby, but you need to choose. Are you going to stop torturing your self over your family and actually live you life, or are you going to carry on like you have been doing? Not living."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/577.jpg)


Morgan pulled away from him; fresh tears slowly crawled down her face. "But I can’t just leave them. I don’t speak to them, they don’t know it’s me, but at least I have some connection with them." she said.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/578.jpg)


He understood what she meant. He hadn’t seen his father since the day he beat him and dumped him, but it didn’t stop him wanting to see his dad, didn’t stop him wanting to feel like he belonged to that family. Unlike Morgan though, he had come to terms with it and had now accepted it, there was nothing he could do to change it.

Her eyes were bloodshot; her face was all blotchy and swollen from crying.
"Come on, lets get back to bed before it gets light." he said as he pulled her to him just to tell her that what she had just told him didn’t change anything between them. He still loved her and still wanted her.

He wasn’t sure what time it was when he opened his eyes, but the room was lit up by the sunlight streaming in through the open curtains. The red of Morgan’s hair seemed more vibrant and alive as the gentle rays shone across her.

She was still holding his hand; he assumed that they mustn’t have moved at all while they were sleeping. He gently prized his fingers out of hers, hoping that he wouldn’t wake her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/580.jpg)


As he closed the bedroom door as quietly as possibly, he took one last look at her sleeping. He loved the just looking at her while she slept. The way her face seemed to erase all the pain that she hid inside. She looked peaceful.

To him this was going to be the first day of their time together and he wanted to make it special. To make it something that she could remember and smile about. He tried to be as quiet as he could as he cooked her pancakes with maple syrup accompanied by a cup of coffee. It was her favourite if he remembered right.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/581.jpg)


He laid it out on the table and went to wake her up.
"Hey." he said softly as her eyes opened. Her face grew into a smile that almost covered her face as she saw him. She breathed a silent sigh of relief that he was still there. Somehow she had expected it all to be some cruel dream, where she would awake and in place of Adam would be a gaping hole.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/582.jpg)


Leaning over Adam placed a kiss on her mouth before resting his face against hers. He stayed there for just a moment, enjoying being close to her.

“Time to get up sleepy head.” He said as he leaned back and held his hand out to her. He watched every simple movement that she made; he didn’t want to miss one single minute of their time together no matter how trivial.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/583.jpg)


Morgan sat down at the table, the sweet smell of pancakes filling her nostrils and reaching down to her stomach. She glanced over at Adams smiling face and a wave of guilt rode through her. "I'm sorry.” she said as tears began to well behind her eyes. "I just can’t eat it."

She sighed and looked away, not wanting to see if she had hurt his feelings, but the sheer thought of placing the food in her mouth made her stomach turn. It was like a battle with her body. Her mouth was watering with the smell of her favourite food, but her stomach was doing its best at hating the food.
"I haven’t been able to eat breakfast for the past week,” she said quietly.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/584.jpg)



She looked up as Adam laughed. "Oh I'm sorry babe." He chuckled, relieved that he hadn’t done anything wrong. "I didn’t realise. Come here,” he said as he held his hand out and pulled her up into his arms.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/585.jpg)


She went to him and let him envelope her in his hold. "Can you eat at night?" he asked, hoping that she would say yes, he had big plans for later."

"Good." he said as he felt her nod against his chest. "Because tonight I am going to take you out."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/586.jpg)


Morgan phoned Kirsten and gave her the news. To her relief Kirsten told her to take a couple of days off and to take it easy. She spent the day with Adam, just enjoying having him to her self. It still hadn’t sunk in that he was back or that she was carrying his child. It just felt like one big dream.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/587.jpg)


"I'll be back soon,” said Adam as he stood in the doorway to the bathroom. "I'll just grab my stuff and ignore her."

They had agreed that Adam would go back to his flat that he had shared with Melody and pick up his clothes. He would get the rest of his stuff later while Melody was at Uni. There was a pretty high chance that she would be out partying anyway when he went for his clothes. At least he hoped so.

Morgan sank down into the hot bubbles and closed her eyes as she heard Adam's footsteps descending down the stairs. She wasn’t going to let it prey on her mind where Adam had gone. If she let her self realise that he had gone to where Melody was, she knew she would go mad with worry until he came back.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/588.jpg)


Going over and over in her head wasn’t going to help. Adam had chosen to leave Melody and Morgan had to get that part glued firmly in place. If he wanted Melody then he wouldn’t have stayed. He wouldn’t even have come over.

But then what if he was back just for the baby? No, no she thought to her self. I am not going to torture my self with this.

Also can we wait till 10 am? *looks slightly red in the face* It seems that elite cammando princessess.. don't get up till 9 am... But they swear they will be ready...
 
Be warned Flid we will attack at dawn or maybe ten am.. You will be surprised... As we will sneak attack.. It will be splendid the attack Hares will be moving in their camo red military jackets. The three stooges will hit your flank.. or something if they don't get into a pie fight.. The commando Princessess are going to give you such a makeover... That is if they get up on time..
 
So name Morgans baby Keller.. I would hate to see this happen to such a sweet person..
 
Oh wait you named a character in the next story Keller? You are an evil person Flid.. It was going to be a splendid surprise attack at dawn. around 10 am. Next time we will prevail Oddball I swear it.

Hmm Well we shall wait if the baby is named a cute name we shall withdraw our forces and earnest thier strength for another attack.
 
Oh and Flid , you can use that name because the guy isnt ugly if he was ugly I wouldve said no because that name is reserved for a cutie pie lol
 
Ive been busy for the past few days so Ive got to catch up on the updates.
 
Flid Update!!!!!!!
PLeeeeeeeease update I need more
 
I relized you used my name for another charactor for a reason,

Flid let be known that I have consulted with elite commando princesses they wish the name of Adams  and Morgans child to be Robin
 
Otherwise we attack at dawn around 10am.. The Attack Hares were very disappointed that they couldn't try their sneak attack wearing their new red miltary jackets.. they look real splendid, the elite cammando Princesses said so.. The three stooges are still having a pie fight, but will be ready.
 
I have it on good authority that the princesses have a new make over that includes a lot of mud baths that includes the use many vegatables.
you have been warned Flid...
 
And by the way Flid did I mention how much I love your story? please update soon.

Adam approached his front door. He was not looking forward to going in, not if Melody was there. He dreaded the thought of another showdown with her. Yes he was in the wrong, he had cheated on her, as blunt as that sounded, that is what he had done, but it didn’t stop him being angry with her for the way she had used him and the fact that he had let her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/590.jpg)


He heard laughing coming from the bedroom as he walked into the flat. The rest of the place looked like a bomb had hit it. Clothes, plates and cans littered the floor. It looked as if Melody had destroyed anything she could find after he had left the night before.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/591.jpg)


Cautiously he stepped over the broken glass and made his way to the bedroom. Light seeped out under the door and the laughing grew louder. "Melody?" he said as he opened the door.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/592.jpg)


Melody jumped out of bed quickly and threw a dressing gown on over her bare skin. "Adam?" she said slightly shocked. "I expected you to be curled up with Morgan by now."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/593.jpg)


"What’s the matter did she not want you?" she laughed. "Looks like you’re out of look with both of us."

Adam glanced over at the bed, he didn’t know who the man was, he recognised the face but couldn’t put a name to him. The mans blue eyes quickly flicked from Adam to Melody and back again as if he wasn’t sure what was going on.
"I'm sorry mate,” he said to Adam. "I didn’t realise. I thought you two her er.."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/595.jpg)


"Don’t worry about it... Its you I feel sorry for." replied Adam keeping his eyes fixed on Melody. "Found another poor sod whose life you can ruin?" he asked. "Anyway I only came back for my clothes. I'll pick the rest of my belongings up later."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/596.jpg)


"Well don’t let us stop you." spat Melody as she sat down on the bed next to the rather uncomfortable looking man.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/597.jpg)



Adam quickly pulled all the stuff out of his draws as Melody sat and watched him scowling.
Squeezing what he could into his bag, Adam couldn’t get out of there fast enough.
Brad, the guy in the bed looked uneasy for the entire duration of Adams packing. He only began to relax as Adam started to leave.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/598.jpg)


"Later." said Adam to them both as he walked out of the bedroom.

“What's this?” asked Morgan as she took the brown bag from Adam.
“A Present.” He said smiling. “Open it.”

Her face lit up as she looked at Adam. “Really?” she asked as he nodded.
She opened the bag, her excitement vibrating like a child’s at Christmas.

She pulled out the most gorgeous dress she had ever seen. Holding it against herself she glanced at Adam and twirled around.

He watched her smiling. She really was beautiful he thought. He loved the way even the simplest of things could make her happy.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/600.jpg)


“What's it for?” she asked when she finally stood still.
He laughed, actually laughed, properly and deeply for the first time in so long. “Its for you. For tonight. We’re going out.” He said. “So you better get ready.”

She flung her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. “Thank you.” She said as she kissed him.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/601.jpg)


"You'll crease it." he said. "You don’t want to go out looking like we cant afford an iron now do you?"
"No I don’t." she smiled. "And thank you." as she dashed off towards the bedroom to get changed.

She hadn’t felt this happy in a long time. Everything was finally perfect.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/602.jpg)


She quickly pulled of her jeans and t shirt and stepped into the dress. The dark red fabric clung to her slim figure like it was made for her. She let her hand glide along the material over her stomach feeling the silk like fabric against her body.
"Wow." breathed Adam from where he stood at her doorway. "You look stunning."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/603.jpg)


She turned and smiled at him. Her eyes were literally sparkling as Adam walked over and held her close.
"You'll crease it." she said mocking his voice from earlier. "Wouldn’t want to look like we can’t afford an iron now would we?"

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/604.jpg)




The waiter seated them by the water. Somewhere in the distance a pianist played music out over the gentle hum of the other patrons at the restaurant.

Morgan watched transfixed at the rose petals and lily pads the floated in the pool.
Her insides gave a slight flutter as she glanced around at her surroundings until her eyes spotted Adam staring at her.

“Beautiful isn’t it?” he asked.
“It’s amazing.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/605.jpg)


“Are you ready to order sir?” asked the waiter as he came back a few minutes later. Morgan looked at Adam apprehensively, he reached out for her hand to comfort her. He knew what she was like in public places, it was something he planned on helping her change.

“I’ll have the Pan fried Fillet of Beef with Black Pepper Sauce and Pork Dijonaise for the lady please. He said as he handed back the menus.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/606.jpg)


He turned back to Morgan and smiled as the waiter left. “Dance with me?” he said to her.
“Dance? Me? I can’t dance.”
“Neither can I, but who cares.” He said smiling. “I won’t laugh, if you don’t.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/607.jpg)

Reluctantly she let him lead her to the dance floor. He held her to him. One hand gently around her waist and the other on her back. She leant her head against his shoulder and just let the rhythm of his body take her along to the music.

“I love you Morgan.” He whispered gently into her ear. She smiled and pressed in closer to him. “I love you too.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/608.jpg)

It took a moment for Morgan to realise they had stopped moving. The music had died down too, in fact she noticed the whole restaurant was quiet.
“What's wrong?” asked Morgan as fear began to eat away at her insides.

Adam pulled slightly away so that he was still holding her, but could see her face. “I woke up this morning and saw you lying next to me. I watched you just sleeping. You looked so peaceful and beautiful Morgan.” He said. “I want to start everyday like that not just this one. I want to wake up every morning and for you to be the first thing that I see.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/609.jpg)

Tears started to build up behind her eyes as she listened to him. She felt a lump rise in the back of her throat.
“What are you saying?” she managed to ask.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/610.jpg)

“I’m asking you…” he said as he knelt down. “If you Morgan Harris would make me the happiest man alive and marry me?”


(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/611.jpg)

The elite Commando princessess are getting ready for the sneak attack.. or at least I think they are, looks over shoulder and *shudders* The mud baths are ready and so are the cucumber slices to go over your eyes.. you will never see it hit.
 
look it Flid Attack hare are already sneaking up on you see there red Milatry jackets in the brush.. You will never see them coming.
 
Umm I do have one question though.. Is really bad to have a mudbath with cucumber slices and have massagee and facials?? Cause I thought that was something a woman wants.
 
But what do I know I have the three stooges on my side!!!
 
 
Please note two things One: I knew you were a young woman. Two: I am happy that Adam finally cut all his ties with that ~woman~.
 
Marrying Melody is the best of all things even if she is something of a wingnut. And the childs name will be either Robin or Keller. Or we march right,  Oddball?
 
Please note Flid we are only loving your story so much. That this is one of the few times a fan can actually have fun with the writer... ummm that didn't come out right.. what I meant is that we are enjoying this with you.. Umm well that doesn't.. Look we love your story....

Flid is evil.. If you think that she will alllow Morgan and Adam to marry with out a hitch.. You are indeed living in a different universe. lol
 
Please note that I and Oddball have assambled a crack team to get Flid to name the child of Morgan and Adam either Robin or Keller. Though she claims that one the characters in the next story is indeed the child of Adam and Morgan.
 
Still Oddball and I will not be denied. We have assembled Forces that will ensure victory... Or at least a great amount of embarrassment for someone.
 
If you wish to join please bring your forces to the staging area. It's in the secret location next to Fashions Spa and Health store. It was the only place the Elite Commando Princesses would agree to meet. Our other forces are the Attack Hares wearing brillant red military coats. They will do the intial sneak attack. The three stooges will do a flanking menuever.
 
 You know something about all these forces still doesn't quite add up.. But anyways onward to Victory! :muahaha:
 
If you have any questions about the why, ect please refer to my signature.. Thank you

Her hand flew to her mouth, she couldn’t believe he was asking. Her stomach jumped. Please let this be real she thought.
Happy tears rolled down her cheeks as she nodded, she daren’t speak, and she didn’t think she would be able to get the words out.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/612.1.jpg)


He got up and smiled as he placed the diamond ring on her finger. He had chosen a small one; he didn’t think she would want a big flashy one that just wasn’t her.
She threw her arms around his shoulders and enjoyed the moment.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/613.jpg)


He nodded over to the singer to start playing. Morgan hadn’t noticed everyone watching until they clapped and cheered for them. She laughed shyly and hid her face against Adams chest as the singer began Rod Stewarts, have I told you lately.

“This songs just for you.” Whispered Adam as they began to dance again.

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles that's what you do

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/614.jpg)



As the song began to finish Adam squeezed Morgan to him, he was so happy, so overjoyed at that moment that he felt like he could burst. Morgan agreeing to be his wife had made him the happiest man alive as he said it would.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/615.jpg)


He rested his head against hers and closed his eyes. Taking in the fruity shampoo scent of her hair, he never wanted this moment to end.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/616.jpg)


He had been so nervous about asking her. Imagining all kinds of scenarios. What would he have done if she had said no? How would he have felt? And what would it have meant for them?

As Adam opened his eyes he looked over to their table. The waiter stood there smiled and gave a nod to signal that their meal was ready.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/617.jpg)


“You hungry?” he asked. “because our meal has just been brought over.”
“I don’t think I can eat anything.” She said quietly afraid of offending him after he had gone to so much trouble.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/618.jpg)


“The baby?”
“No.” she giggled. “The tribe of butterflies that have taken to dancing around in my stomach.”

He laughed at that and kissed her. “Just eat a little bit then, even if its just one mouthful.”
“Ok.” She said still lost in her blissful happiness.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/619.jpg)


Morgan was still grinning from ear to ear when they got home. Adam unlocked the door to the flat and let Morgan step in. She caught sight of her self in the mirror. She looked tired but happy. Her skin was glowing for a change, a gentle pink flushing her cheeks. Life didn’t seem so gloomy anymore.

She felt Adams hand snake around her waist and leant her body back into him.

“I’m going to make you so happy.” He whispered into her ear.

The first six months of the pregnancy flew by for both of them. Morgan’s stomach was growing nicely. In fact she was blooming. Much to Adams protests though, she had decided to keep her job with Kirsten, It felt as if she wasn’t relying on Adam for everything and in some way she was creating the life that her father had meant for her to have.

She still hadn’t spoken to her parents, but she did see Ethan and Alex at least once a week. They had no idea who she was as she was still too afraid to talk. Too scared of being rejected.


Adam hated it when she went to see them. She always returned looking sad as if she had taken the cover of the hole her family had left. Until she accepted that they weren’t part of her life or spoke to them, she was just going to go through this over and over again, but whatever she decided Adam knew that he would support her.

“We’re going out.” Adam said as Morgan came back from one of her family visits. “I want to take you round New Hampton Market, if you feel up to it.”
Weakly she agreed. The last thing she wanted was to go out, but sitting around the flat sulking wasn’t a good idea either.
“Are you ok baby?” he asked.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/622.jpg)

“Yeah.” She sighed. “Just tired.”
He folded his arms around her and held her as much as protruding stomach would allow.
“We can stay here if you like.”
“No. We’ll go out. I’m just a bit tired that’s all. The fresh air will probably do me good.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/623.jpg)


He knew she was lying to herself as much as him, but he wasn’t going to say anything. She had to admit it to her self first that seeing her family the way she did was taking it out of her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/624.jpg)


The market was busy considering it was mid week, but the sun was shinning and it was nice to be out. They walked round the stalls for most of the afternoon. Morgan looking at stuff she wished they could buy. Everything from nice lamps to rugs to things they didn’t need.

“I’m just going to pop to the toilets.” Morgan said to Adam after a while. “This little one does nothing for my bladder.” She laughed.
“Ok. I’ll just be over there” he said pointing to the stall that was decorated in numerous ornaments.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/625.jpg)


He smiled as he watched her walk away. The last six months had been so good. Everything just seemed to be going right for them. He had a surprise for Morgan though, he hoped she would like it; it had taken him months to get.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/626.jpg)

“Hello Adam. Long time no see.”
Adam turned around after paying the man behind the stall, to face Melody. “Afternoon.” He said bordering on anger.
“You look good.”
“Melody stop with the pleasantries. It really doesn’t suit you.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/627.jpg)


She smiled at him, completely unfazed by his harsh tone. “I missed you.” She purred.
“Goodbye Melody.”


Melody smiled as she grabbed him by the arm and spun him round. Adam didn’t have time to react. It all happened to fast as she spun him so they were face to face before putting her arms around him and bringing his mouth to hers.

Adam pulled back shocked as he heard a cry from behind him.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/628.jpg)


He caught site of the back of Morgan as she ran out of the market. “Morgan!” he shouted.
Melody stood in front of him laughing. “Oh that was priceless.” She said.
“Your pathetic Melody.” He spat before running off to find Morgan.

0-o Wow.. I was only gone for a day or two and so much has happened! Darn schoolwork! I get way too much of it now I'm in highschool.. >.>

But back to the question at hand.. How could you flid?!? It's so.. so.. awful! Arrrgh! Sometimes I even loathe Morgan for her consistency to distrust Adam and just jump to conclusions and overreact at the teeniest things! Ugh! I'm just so flustered.. @.@

She was six months pregnant there was no way she could out run him, but some how she had. He got onto the main street but she was no where to be seen. “Morgan!” he shouted again as people looked at him oddly.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/630.jpg)


He cursed loudly as tears began to fall from his eyes. “Morgan!” he shouted yet again his voice becoming horse from the amount of times he had called out.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/631.jpg)


Melody stood behind Adam and laughed. He turned to face her; pure hatred flew from his eyes.

“What the hell did you do that for?” He yelled at her through gritted teeth.

“Because I always win. Always.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/632.jpg)


He had never hit a woman before, or anyone else for that matter, but before he knew what he was doing he swung his arm out and slapped Melody right across the face. The sheer force that he put into it sent her hurtling to the ground.

“You’re well and truly pathetic.” He spat as Melody began to get back up.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/633.jpg)


Her face stung, white hot fire spread through her cheek where his hand had stuck her.
“This isn’t over.” She said as Adam turned and fled. His only concern was to get to Morgan.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/634.jpg)

He reached the flat and his whole body sighed in relief as he saw her keys in the lock of the door.
“Morgan?” he called.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/635.jpg)


Load sobs came from the bathroom and echoed through the door.
“Morgan?” he called again. “Morgan answer me, I know you’re in there.”
“Leave me alone.”
“Morgan it’s not what you think.”
“Just get out.” She sobbed. “I should never have taken you back.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/636.jpg)


Adam knelt down on the floor at the other side of the door. He was not going to walk away, not this time.
“I’m not going anywhere.” He said. “You have it all wrong.”
“How is seeing you kissing her getting it all wrong?” she screamed through the door.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/637.jpg)


Adam stood up as he heard Morgan do the same in the bathroom.
“Morgan. Come out and talk to me.”
“There’s nothing to talk about. Just get…”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/638.jpg)


A loud piercing scream sliced through the air.
“Morgan open the door.” He shouted in panic.”
Silence.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/639.jpg)


Tears of fear scorched his cheeks as he pounded his fist against the wood.
Morgan cried out again as pain tore through her body.
“Morgan!” he yelled at the top of his voice.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/640.jpg)


Adam backed up until his back was up against the opposite wall. “Baby stand back.” He called as he ran full tilt into the door sending it crashing open.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/641.jpg)


Morgan was in the corner. Her arms firmly around her stomach. Fear and agony etched into her tear stained features.
“I’m calling an ambulance.” He said as he quickly ran to the phone.

Morgan ignored him all the way to the hospital. He tried to hold her hand as the ambulance zoomed its way through the streets with its siren blaring, but every time he reached over, she moved her hand further and further away.

He followed silently as the paramedics wheeled her into the hospital on a trolley. He didn’t know what to do with himself. If it hadn’t been for the other patients in the accident and emergency waiting room he would have broken down and cried.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/643.jpg)


“I don’t want him here” said Morgan as the paramedic locked the brakes on the trolley ready to transfer her to the waiting bed. “I want him to leave.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/644.jpg)


Adam stood back out of the way, his bottom lip quivering as a tear escaped and rolled down his face. “Morgan please don’t do this.”
“I don’t want you here.”
“This is my baby too Morgan, for god sake let me just be here for you with this.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/645.jpg)


Morgan doubled over as more pain ripped through her. Panting she screwed her face up “get out” she said forcing her voice.
“I think you should leave” said the nurse as she approached the cubicle.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/646.jpg)

Adam was crying now, ice spiked in his stomach and his throat constricted as he watched Morgan in agony, knowing he couldn’t do anything, couldn’t even go to comfort her.

“Its my baby too” he protested to the nurse

“I’m sorry but we have to respect Morgan’s wishes”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/647.jpg)


Adam hadn’t noticed the security guard stood behind him
“I love you” he mouthed to Morgan as the guard pulled him away crying

He was escorted outside by the man
“Just stay on the grounds, but don’t come in. She might change her mind, they usually do” he said to Adam as he gave a sympathetic smile

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/648.jpg)


Adam sat on the bench outside. The sun shone down on him, but he didn’t feel it, his body was cold and shivering as he cried into his hands, not caring who saw him. All he wanted was to go to Morgan and to be with her through what ever was happening.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/649.jpg)


Here take this said a voice a couple of hours later. It'll warm you up.

Adam turned and look, the guard held his hand out brandishing a steaming polystyrene cup.

“What is it? He asked reaching for the cup
“Just hot chocolate from the machine. Thought it might do you good.”

The guard paused and watched as Adam took a cautious sip of the chocolate.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/650.jpg)


“She is ok you know” he said
“Who is? Morgan?”
“Yep.  Fast asleep when I came out. And that baby of your has one strong heart beat, heard it my self making the machine bleep away.”

Adam sat in silence drinking his chocolate. The guard patted him on the shoulder before going back into the hospital.

People walked past, some stared as they walked towards the doors and others only dared to give a quick glance. Adam ignored then all.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/651.jpg)


"Mr king?"

At first Adam didn’t hear his name being called, he hadn’t been expecting it so wasn’t listening

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/652.jpg)


"Mr King?" The doctor at the door tried again a little louder, finally getting his attention.

"Is she ok?" asked Adam panicked. "Is the baby ok?"

"Their both fine Mr King" she said as her face broke into a professional smile.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/653.jpg)


"Morgan seems to have gone into an early labour. so far we have been able to slow it down. We gave her something to stop it and she is responding to it."

"And the baby?"

"The baby's fine, no signs of distress so we are hopeful that the pregnancy will continue for another month at least."

"Thank you" he said sighing. He was thankful that the doctor had taken the time to come out and talk to him about it, she didn’t have too.
"She's asking to see you"
"She is?"
"Yes, but please don’t upset her, not if we want the baby to stay put"

"I wont"

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/654.jpg)


Eagerly he followed the doctor into the hospital. Morgan had been moved to a private room on the labour ward. She was sat propped up on the hospital bed. Her face was pale and she looked tired.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/655.jpg)


The gentle rhythm of the machine next to her bleeped. It took a moment for Adam to hear it and for the sound to register.

"Is that...?"
"Yes. It’s the baby." She said flatly.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/656.jpg)


Ignoring her tone, he couldn’t help but smile as he heard his child’s heartbeat coming through the machine that was attached to Morgan. He had heard it before in the doctor’s office, but it never ceased to amaze him. His love for his unborn child was already strong enough. What would it be like when he or she was actually born?

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/657.jpg)


"What happened at the market?" Asked Morgan
"Nothing. Not what you think happened anyway"
"Well you were kissing Melody, why should I think any thing else?"
"And if you had stayed around for another 10 minutes you would have seen me slap her across the face."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/658.jpg)


Morgan got up from the bed carefully not to disturb the wires and stared at him intently she wanted to believe him, she really did, but in the back of her mind was doubt. Though she really didn’t doubt Adam, it was her self where the insecurity lay, she was taking it out on him and she knew it, she just didn’t know how to stop.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/659.jpg)


"I’m sorry" she said looking away from him. "I know it was nothing I saw the way she had hold of you, but my mind made up its own decision before I had time to think. I'm sorry I pushed you away." She whispered.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/660.jpg)


Adam reached out and ran his hand down her face the way he always did. "It’s ok Morgan. I'm sorry too."

Adams hand felt wet, he looked at her face and saw that she had been crying. How had he missed that before? "Don’t cry."
"What if something happens to the baby?"
"Nothing will happen. It will be fine I promise."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/661.jpg)


She looked at him hopefully. She wanted to believe him, but she couldn’t. She had to prepare her self for the worst.
"You’re going to rest and then you and your tummy are going to come with me. I have a surprise for you."

"I was going to show you this afternoon, but... but it will wait till you can come home." He said smiling.

Title: A fathers Sacrifice. The End Tribute added
Post by: flid on September 30, 2006, 12:16:22 pm
They did manage to stop the labour in the end. In fact the baby was three days late.

Adam had held Morgan’s hand for the full seven hours until their daughter had arrived safe, sound and screaming into the world.

When Adam had held Vanessa in his arms for that very first time he had never imagined what looking into her eyes would feel like. He couldn’t even begin to explain it. That that tiny person was part of him, someone who he would love for ever and where ever she was would always be part of him and Morgan. She was perfect, beautiful just like her mother.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/663.jpg)


The surprise Adam had had for Morgan was a house. It was only small, one floor two bedrooms, but it was theirs. He had used the cheque that Melody had given to Morgan as a deposit.

Any guilt he felt soon evaporated when Julie had told him to view it as a form of compensation for all the trouble Melody and her father had caused.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/664.jpg)


They hadn’t seen Melody for over two years. She had tried to take Adam to court over the assault in the market. Adam had no idea what Julie had said, but she had managed to get Melody to drop the charges. For that he was grateful.

The last they heard of Melody was that she had married Brad. Morgan had been tempted to send him a sympathy card, but then decided that it was probably better to let sleeping dogs lie.

It was only four days to the wedding. Although they were both looking forward to it and extremely excited, the sad air still hung around Morgan’s head. The question of giving her away had been broached. Morgan would have loved to have her father do it. If she could have one wish it would be for her father to walk arm in arm with her down the isle and her mother as the weeping mother of the bride, but all she could do was imagine it, it would never be real.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/665.jpg)


Instead Vanessa now two would be the only one to accompany her as she made her way to the alter to become Adams wife.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/666.jpg)


Adam lent back in the chair and watched Morgan with Vanessa. He loved to see them just playing. Vanessa had her mother’s stubbornness which was already evident even at her young age.
Morgan was trying to sort out her box which Adam had bought her on the day Vanessa was born. It was just a small keepsake box for her to keep memories in, but every time Morgan added something to it, Vanessa took it out again.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/667.jpg)


“Daddy” she said as she pointed her stubby fingers at one of the pictures of Adam. Morgan laughed and screwed up her face.

“Monster” she said to Vanessa growling playfully.
Vanessa gave a childish chuckle and pointed at Adam. “Motter” she said trying to copy her mother.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/668.jpg)


Adam smiled and held his arms out as Vanessa cautiously toddled towards him. Her hair was blond just like his, but she had her mothers deep blue eyes. One day she was going to break hearts Adam thought.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/669.jpg)


Kissing Vanessa  he gently placed her back down on the floor. He had an errand to run. Every special occasion that happened in their lives together Adam marked it with a gift to Morgan so that when they were older they would have a collection of memories together. When they moved into their house he had playfully bought her two statues one of Adam and on of Eve. For the birth of Vanessa he had bought her a memory box, which she was now trying to fill with Vanessa's help.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/670.jpg)


With the wedding staring them in the face he wanted to get her something extra special. Something that money just couldn’t buy no matter how wealthy you were and he knew just where to get it.

After hugging Morgan and kissing her goodbye he left them both together trying to fill the box so that he could go and get her surprise.

His stomach tied in knots as he stood outside the door. On the other side was the one thing that would make Morgan’s life complete. He hoped that he was doing the right thing, but if he wasn’t then Morgan would never need to know.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/672.jpg)


He knocked faintly, in a way he was hoping that his knock wouldn’t be heard so that he still had time to think and maybe change his mind. He wasn’t that lucky.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/673.jpg)


The door opened and a man in his mid forty’s stood before him. They eyed each other for a second.
Hello. Said Adam his voice shaking. “Mr Harris?”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/674.jpg)


The man nodded and said yes making Adams stomach tighten even more. Cold ran along his body and he felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise.

He closed his eyes forcing himself to say the words that were stuck in his throat. “I am Adam King.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/675.jpg)


Recognition flashed into the mans face as he heard the name. “Adam King?”
Adam nodded.

The man put his hands up to his face and breathed in deeply using the slowed air flow to calm his breathing. A bead of sweat rolled down his face as his hands began to visibly shake. “Your not here with bad news?” he asked almost whispering for fear of the answer.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/676.jpg)


“No. No I’m not.” Said Adam in an equally hushed tone. Adam had no idea what to say. He had thought this moment over and over again, but actually being stood on the doorstep of this house he couldn’t remember what to say, instead he took a photo out of his pocket and handed it to the man.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/677.jpg)


The man looked down at the photo. Morgan and Vanessa smiled out from the picture. He ran his hand down the paper over their faces as tears flowed down his face. “She has a daughter?”

Before Adam had chance to answer a woman came out to see who was at the door. The man showed the picture to her, her face went white almost instantly as she focused her gaze on Adam. “My little girl? My daughter is alive?” asked Mia

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/678.jpg)


Adam stood back and smiled as Cade and Mia held each other for a moment and just cried. All this time they had not given up hope, but they never imagined they would actually see her again. Eight years of waiting. Eight years of wondering.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/679.jpg)


“I came here to tell you something.” Said Adam interrupting them. “We are getting married in four days. I know that Morgan wishes she could have you in her life and wishes that you would be with her on that day, but she daren’t speak to you.”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/680.jpg)


“Morgan knows where we live?” asked Cade
“Yes she comes here all the time. She speaks to Ethan and Alex all the time.”
“Here?”
“Yes. She is coming tomorrow. One last time to see them before she gets married.”
“When?”

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/681.jpg)


Adams nerves were all over the place as he walked home, he was bursting to tell Morgan where he had been but he had to wait till tomorrow. It would be better this way and she wouldn’t be able to back out. Adam had arranged with Cade and Mia that he would ring them before they set off so they could look out for her coming. Then Cade would come out and talk to her. Tell her that all her fears were wrong. They did want her, they loved her and they wanted her back in their lives.

Aww what a cute baby and hopefully now that Melody is out of the picture? There will be a time for joy for these two.
 
Flid you are evil the  Elite Commando Princesses melted at the pics of Vanessa. And the Hares just fell over themselves.
 
You are an evil genius, Flid. Oddball, I hate to break it to you old man, but it looks like Flid outflanked us with cute. Who would have thought that "cute" could make an array of the best fighting forces this thread had seen and reduce it to ' awwww isn't she cute lilgirl.' .
 
Any mention of marching on Flid was met with mutterings of we may have to do an "extreme hostlie makeover on you.."
 
Nothing personal Oddball. I would rather face the boss demon monster in Elderscrolls or at least an entire division of nazis in Call of Duty than face the possibilty of a extreme hostile makeover. Whatever that is....

Adam stood over the road with Vanessa in her pram. This was her time, hers and theirs. He would join them when they were reunited, but for now he would just watch.
He looked at the house and saw Cade looking down from one of the upstairs windows at Morgan as she spoke to Ethan and Alex.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/683.jpg)


Morgan handed over her money and paid Ethan for the glass of home made lemonade. If only he knew who she was, she wished she could tell him, but he wouldn’t remember her anyway. He only knew her as the girl who came past occasionally and bought lemonade from them or waved at them on her way home from work.
“I’ll see you guys later ok, you keep up the good work.” She said winking at them both.
“Yeah see you soon.” Said Alex smiling at her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/684.jpg)


Morgan turned to walk away she had to stop coming here, she had to stop punishing her self. She screwed up her face as she turned; promising her self that this would be the last time she saw them. In her haste she walked straight into the man who was coming out of the gate. She looked up at him, into those blue eyes that were an exact copy of her own.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/685.jpg)


He looked down at her, he saw the freckles, the red her, the eyes. “Morgan?”
Her heart started to hammer against her chest as she realised that her father stood right in front of her. Her bottom lip started to quiver as her eyes filled up.

She turned and ran. Cade stayed there for a few seconds watching his daughter run away from him. His back went cold and his ice spiked in his stomach. He started to run and watched as she went as fast as she could across the road.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/687.jpg)


Time seemed to slow down. He saw her running, could feel himself following her. He screamed out her name as loud as he could as the bumper of the car stuck her in the side, tossing her across the bonnet. He watched as she slid down to the tarmac of the road.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/689.jpg)


As he reached her side he fell to his knees lifting her head up into his lap. Her hair was sticky and wet with blood. It was all over his hands but he didn’t notice. She looked up at him, tears falling from her eyes as blood began to drip out of the corners of her mouth.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/688.jpg)

“Morgan.” He said to her, crying himself. He couldn’t believe he was looking into the face of his little girl. He didn’t see the cuts on her face, or feel the blood that was soaking through his jeans. All he saw was his daughter in his arms.
“I’m sorry dad.”
“Baby you have nothing to be sorry for.” He said stroking his fingers across her forehead and moving her fringe.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/690.jpg)


She closed her eyes and he pulled her further onto his lap. His aftershave drifting over her just as she remembered. She felt his strong arms around her holding her. “I love you dad.” She said before taking her last breath and drifting into darkness.

He pulled her closer, her face against his neck and his head on her shoulder, he rocked back and forth. Her skin was still warm against his face as he held her body.

“I love you too Morgan.”

I knew it Flid, I knew it.. Always a twist.. Always a twist. I knew it was going to easy. Poor Adam is now going to have to raise Vannesa alone. I am looking forward to the next story.  You are great Flid.

Adam stood back at the cemetery watching Cade and Mia bury their daughter on the day he should have been there making her his wife.  His face was dry, but inside he cried. He would never again feel her in his arms, hold her while she slept or hear her when she spoke.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/692.jpg)


No one noticed him watching, they were all wrapped up in their own grief. Adam looked across the faces, her mother reminded him so much of Morgan. Everything about her was the same.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/693.jpg)


He waited for everyone to leave, but he didn’t walk over to the open grave straight away. He just stood and watched as if by standing there she would come back and not be cold in the coffin. It wouldn’t be real if he didn’t see the flowers carefully arranged to spell her name.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/694.jpg)


He tried to force him self to walk forward, but he couldn’t, his body wouldn’t do it. He turned instead and walked out of the cemetery. He just followed his feet down the road slowly. Life buzzed all around him, but he didn’t hear it.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/695.jpg)


He stood at the crossing. The barrier was down and the red light was flashing. He could hear the metal wheels grinding against the metal tracks as the train approached. The faint chug chug of the mechanism getting closer singing through his head like a gentle lullaby. He walked forward past the warning light.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/696.jpg)


The train screeched to a halt. People got out of their cars, some screaming, and some looking in disbelief as to what they had just witnessed. Even the top half of the body sticking out under the train weren’t real. The driver got out and ran to him. He bent down and felt for a pulse, even though there was no possible way life would be flowing through the veins. A crowd quickly gathered, but no one noticed as Adam got up and walked past them all. They were more concerned about the body of a young man that was trapped under the train.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/697.jpg)


Sirens sounded in the distance, the wailing barley heard above the noise of the people by the train. Adam wasn’t interested though. He didn’t look; it was no concern to him. Only one thing mattered now.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/698.jpg)


He walked through the gap in the barrier. Smiling he swept her up into his arms and pressed his mouth against hers. She cupped his face and looked into his eyes smiling.
“I love you Adam.” Said Morgan.
“I love you too.” He replied.

Epilogue six years later

Cade sat in his usual place under the big willow tree at the bottom of his garden. His granddaughter watched him curiously for a moment before walking over to him. "Grandpa?"

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/701.jpg)


"Yes Vanessa." He said smiling at her.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/702.jpg)


She sat down next to him and looked up at the big branches stretching over them. "Why do you sit under this big tree?"

"I come here to be close to your mother and talk to her." He said.

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/703.jpg)


Vanessa thought for a moment about his answer, her face looking at him in wonder. "But grandma says Mummy is in heaven with the angels."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/705.jpg)


"She is sweetheart." he said smiling at her. She looked so much like her mother had at that age. He could almost see Morgan looking out through Vanessa's eyes.

She stared at him, not sure of his answer. "Then why do you talk to the tree."


"Your mummy is all around us, I just feel closer to her here, this is the tree we planted for your mummy and daddy."  

"Did Mummy die because she was bad?" she asked pleased with his answer.

"No Vanessa, she died because she was brave."

(http://www.thesims2uk.co.uk/m/704.jpg)


"Did daddy die because he was bad?"

"No." he said as he gently shook his head.

Vanessa watched the tree for a moment as the breeze gently lifted up its green leaves and put them down again. "Then why did he die?"

"He died because he loved your mummy too much and his heart was broken."

"Could it not be fixed?"

"No it couldn’t, but he is better now and they will both be with the angels watching you grow up."

awwwww i knew everything was going too smoothly what a sad ending.i can't believe you lilled both of them either,maybe vanessa's life won't be as bad as her mom's and grandmothers lives were,but i know flid will figure some way to torment her as well.

really great story though  just didn't like the way it ended.i got attached to both morgan and adam throughout this story and hate that they both died (or did they?) flid has brought a few from beyond the grave before but i don't see how she will this time.

waiting impatently for next story lol

yes thats them reunited as ghosts at the end

and believe me I was attched to them as you lot were. Luckily or not I wrote the ending when I started the story. If I hadnt then I wouldnt have been able to kill them off.

I am actually working on a little tribute for Morgan and Adam, but here's a picture of how it should have been.

Post by: Lifa on October 08, 2006, 02:22:30 am
I loved this story.  The ending was too sad!  :(

Anyways, I was watching the video you put up afterwards... and I don't want to seem too critical, but I do have some wisdom to impart.
-----For your next video, remember the art of cut and clip.  Although it's the same scene, it doesn't need to be taken all in one linear shot.
-----When you do camera spins, test it out first.  Pause the game and do a couple of test spins to see where they need to be to land in the exact center of the shot.  Then, unpause, start action, and spin like crazy.  It's a good effect if you can pull it off (and I did see one or two where you had pulled it off rather well).
-----Match the intensity of the song.  For the song you were working with, I would've liked to see longer scenes and more fades... it went too quickly.
-----You can never go wrong with atmosphere shots, especially setting suns and rain.  Not all of the video always needs to center on a human subject, nor does it need to be centered... you'd be surprised how effective a shot that cuts the subject's face in half can be!

Anyways, long story short, I'd like to work with you if you ever decide to do a video again, you show alot of talent in what you're trying to portray with it... so send a PM sometime.

Flid the video was awesome.. one of the best sims vids I have ever seen. great job, I had to laugh tho coz I was using the same song for my charmed video which I finished yesterday. so I totally love your video and the song well the best!!!. I am really looking forward to your next story I have never been into these things but well yours have caught me and I am truly hooked and wait for it all.
Thanx for the hard effort you put into the stories I truly appreciate the entertainment.

Lifa thanks for the advise, I dont take it as critical, more helping me to improve. That was my first time ever making a video with the sims, I actually enjoyed making it. So thanks for the comments and if I make another I know where to come :)

taniaissimo
Sorry I forgot Leigh was in that house, I always have a random sims in my story houses so that I can move the characters in and out without having to re decorate or make sure they have the funds, Leigh is actually an old story sim. :)

Hey

This story is amazing, so moving and dramatic - I love it so much :)

On your first chapter, Ethan is sitting on Morgans lap on a bench. I was just curious on how you got that to happen...move_objects or is it just a pie option when you're holding a toddler? Just curious - I'm making a story myself so it would be quite useful. Check it out? http://www.insimenator.org/showthread.php?t=24713

Title: A fathers Sacrifice. The End Tribute added
Post by: flid on October 08, 2006, 03:23:25 pm
thanks simulated glad you like the pictures. Most of them are done in Adobe photoshop cs2 to be honest as getting the sims into the right pose at the same time was hard, so I just took screen shots of them and stuck them all together.

this one is my fav that i did.

yup most pics like that were I got Ethan to sit on the floor, paused and took a screen print then I got Morgan and Adam to sit on a bench pasued and did the same, but the pictures are taken with blank walls and blank floors so I can cut them out easy. I take a third picture of the set and paste the sims on

write it first before you take the pics and write it like a story, just because you have pictures doesnt mean dont describe things he he


Title: A fathers Sacrifice. The End Tribute added
Post by: SimulatedDork on October 10, 2006, 02:06:27 pm
It was really great and realistic how Ethan looked up at Morgan and sometimes Morgans attention was diverted to him and sometimes concentrating on their conversation.

Yeah, I do write it like a story, but when taking the pictures I am too much of a perfectionist, insisting that the pictures "are too confusing, could be better and don't portay the passage rightly".

I finally got to download and watch the video.. I kept thinking about the tune November Rain.  Your the greatest Flid, even when you are playing our emotions like a violin.

Nice story I finally read it all.Sorta reminds me of something that happened to my friend.She had to deal with some girl like Melody.Instead of her punching the girl in the nose i did.I ended up doing more than that.*shifty eyes*Who would have though innocent me would have hurt someone.

Post by: Stonelily237 on July 10, 2007, 12:01:07 pm
How could I have JUST found this? It's wonderful!
Melody reminds me of a girl that I know. Oh, if I could punch HER in the face... I'd give millions for that...

HOW COULD YOU KILL THEM LIKE THAT??? :crybaby:

*Three seconds later*

What was I doing again? Oh yeah! I was going to harrass some poor defenseless bunnies!!! :D

Flid, I just found this story and all I have to say is that you are a talented artist that knows her stuff.  I only wish I could do as well as you.  You have fired up my interest in doing my life story.  However, it would take probably 21 pages just to put the story in, not counting all the feedbacks.  Anyway, I really loved your story and am downloading the vid now.  This story has what any reader would want in a novel--we laugh, we cry, we get angry, and cry some more.   Thanks for the great story.

I just saw the vid and it was amazing.  Great Great.

During the time it took for me to read the entire series (all three in 2 days), I cried at LEAST 10 times. It was so sad! Mark&Vanessa4ever! Wo!

Post by: cynthia_1 on July 28, 2007, 03:42:08 pm
Sherry:
All 3 were great stories.  I can't really pick the one I like the best, but I think it would be "Alone", because you really meet the main characters Mia and Cade and it also set the scene for the the other 2.

:o  I just now read this.  It was long, there were millions of comments, and I have to say,
What was horrible of Adam!  I mean, sure he loved her, and sure they had gone through, like everything together, but he had a daughter!!!!   Vanessa!!!  What about Vanessa???  Gr.  And Melody.  There are many words to descirbe her, but she doesn't deserve a single one of them!  She is a dsfgajfksdgja;k!  She doesn't even deserve a real word.  Humph.  
Ok, now I'm gonna read the next story!  :) :D

As I've said multiple times, this is my all-time favorite story on here.
An 11/10. (Yes flid, you broke my ratings scale.)


P.S. You've had a major influenece on my writing style for Sims stories. Speaking of that, did you recieve that PM I sent you about my idea? And if so, can I have your thoughts about it? (Just reply to my PM please, I don't want spoilers to be leaked onto here.)

P.P.S. Sorry if I sounded a bit jerkish above, but I'm really wondering what you think of my story idea.

Post by: JohnnyDeppLuva on October 24, 2008, 09:45:23 pm
I cannot believe i have just found this story, i have been searching for good ones all week, This story is simply incredible, the writing was amazing and the characterisation was brill. Even tho there just sims, it was so realistic.

Still can't believe you killed them ~ the last 2 parts made me cry ~ yes i admit it i'm a softie.

So happy u put them up for download, now they can live happily ever after in my sims

P.S. After reading this i really wanna write sims stories now :) I've tried before but they never really turned out that well ~ the simple reason is i'm a lousy writer with no imagination. i can just see my english teachers face when she reads my essays ~ poor sod lol

Anywayz i'm away to bed seeing as its 3.42am and my eyes are all puffy ~ i've been sat here for 3 1/2 reading this story from start to finish while simultaneously downloading stuff, and stopping for coffee breaks to keep me awake.

Will read the sequel tomoz while playing with my new family and giving them a happy ever after (I have the feeling this family will become my fave and i will have to use the aging off cheat to keep them alive FOREVER)

Night Night :angel:
