One-Liner Tale

[ab_123]

(Ramky, I think you meant to say 'Jed, rather than Jeff...right?)

Cassidy, was a protective older brother. He never approved of Jed, and was out to prove to Elaine that Jed was nothing but trouble....

[ramky]

... but Elaine didnt listen to him. She always argued with Cassidy when he brought up the topic of Jed. But that single incident involving Jed was an eye opener ...

[Mystic]

Cassidy had gone to the local bar where Jed was with his friends, drinking. He had spilled Jed's drink by mistake for which Jed beat him up severly. Thats when Elaine knew that Jed was very much prone to violence.

Within a week there was another fight between Jed and Cassidy, and in the scuffle Cassidy was killed accidentally. But Elaine never forgave Jed for that even though he didnt kill her brother directly.

Wow!!! This story is still going on??!!! Hats off to Ram and Aruna
Yes.. she couldnt forgive him for killing her brother ,accidently or otherwise...but she couldnt forget him either...yes..he stayed with her not quite like a scar but like an old wound which ached so constantly that it just became a part of her..

(Thanks Sandhya )

"I have to go Jed, the kids are waiting in the car" Elaine said walking towards the van. "How's Jess?", he asked, as if he knew the truth about her.....

[ramky]

Elaine was taken aback - how did he know about Jess ?!! Who could have told him ?! She was at a loss for words to answer Jed.

(yes thx Mystic and Seagull)

"I have to go" she said firmly, "Please let me and my family be." She got into her car and drove off. But she knew she would have to protect Jess...from her very own father!

Glad to be back guys .
"Oh what a tangled web we weave..." was the quote which came to her mind. There was so much truth to that statement..to protect her baby she told one tiny lie and that had now snowballed into something which could destroy everything which she worked hard to achieve.

.. Jed watched the receding car with an intense expression on his face - Elaine would have been very much surpirsed if she had known that it was not of anger, but of regret. Yes Jed regretted the mistakes he had committed very much, but ...
