Keeping the Attraction

[melbender]

First topic message reminder :

"sleep" he groaned with a yaw."it's too early and you asked me to stay."

I finished rinsing my mouth as he kissed my cheek and spoke "I love you too, and I thought since you had an early meeting that you wouldn't want him around."

[Demona]

I ignored him the rest of the ride. Once home i helped him out and let him in, luckily his brothers were already in bed and my mother was in her room. "Ally? We're home" i called out as he sat on the couch "you'll be nice to your mother."

[melbender]

"youre the one who isn't." He shot back, leaning back and closing his eyes. "don't act like you give a shit now."

"Noah, apologise now." Ally entered the room, tear stained cheeks as she heard him. "show some respect."

He sat there. Eyes still shut. "fuck off like you care."

"you know what, I'm done." I hadn't the energy to do this. I handed Steven the paper with facility written down. "they have an opening, it's an hour away and-"

Noahs voice boomed as he jumped up "facility!! No fucking way!"

"Noah please. You need help. Please let us help you." Ally pleaded. "you can get the help you need to get better. This isn't you Noah."

He shook his head pointing to Steven "no this is all him! It's his doing to send me off so he doesn't have to deal with it!"

Ally couldn't bare the thought of Noah hating Steven so much, she shook her head and looked at him sadly "no it's not. This was my idea. This is me sending my son off because hes an alcoholic and drug addict."

Noah looked at her with hate before storming to his room.

[Demona]

"You didn't have to do this Ally. It is my idea and he might hate me now but he'll understand later. I'll get the driver to be ready in the morning. I took her to bed and let her sleep in my arms. Next morning we both took him to the facility, it wasn't easy but it was the right thing to do. Once he was admitted i looked at Ally and squeezed her hand "he's going to be fine"

[melbender]

I stared at the building "I hope so... I just hope he doesn't hate us." I sunk into the back seat of the car. "I just want him to be ok.." i closed my eyes and cried.

[Demona]

"He hates us but he'll be ok, and he'll be better in a few weeks. Hems an addict Ally we can't help him at him. He's in good hands" i hugged her tightly as she cried in my chest.

[melbender]

When I had finished crying, I still stayed against his chest. "I love you Steven. I know you have always done what is best for them." i kissed his jaw, hugging tighter.

[Demona]

"I love you too baby" i opened the door and let her out "what do we tell the boys about this? Where is Noah?"

[melbender]

I sighed heavily, not really knowing what to do. "we should tell them the truth, but I don't want them to be mad either so maybe say he's gone away for business."

[Demona]

"That sounds good." I opened the door and we went inside, they were all at school except my mother of course and Oliver. "Noah won't be here for Oliver'a birthday, neither lily"

[melbender]

"I need to start organising the food and decorations." I realised how stressful this past week had been. "plus wrap his gifts."

"where's Noah?" Stevens mum asked.

[Demona]

"I'll help with everything" i looked back at my mother and shrugged "work trip"

[melbender]

"just before his brothers birthday?  That's quite rude of him."  she pointed out. 

"Noah is far from rude, he's always there for Oliver.." i felt overcome with emotion as I rubbed my eyes. "I'm just going to take a shower, I don't feel very well." I just wanted to cry without anyone seeing. I wanted to go back and bring Noah home.

[Demona]

I watched Ally go upstairs and looked at my mother "he's not being rude, he had to leave it was urgent. I'm not sure how long he'll be gone" i shrugged and looked at the stairs "i better check on her" i went upstairs and found Ally crying on the bathroom floor. I sat next to her and brought her up on my lap cuddling her and soothing her.

[melbender]

I finally stopped crying, wiping my eyes and talking about something that distracted me. "I hear Tom is interested in work experience with you, he's actually wanting to work in the IT department, with the servers."

[Demona]

"That sounds good. He'll start tomorrow, i signed his slip, the boy is a genius!"

[melbender]

"yes and he's shown an interest at working with you, just in a different area." i sat up more, "he had the choice of going for a week to a Tech lab but asked to go with you. I think hes going to want a part time job."

[Demona]

"He can have that as long as he's serious" i stroked her hair gently "let's go to bed and watch a movie, we can relax until the boys come back"

[melbender]

"sounds good." I smiled softly, once in bed I laid my head against his chest and picked up my phone to show him the photos lily sent "she swam with dolphins yesterday, and Willow loves the water." I smiled

[Demona]

I smiled "she looks happy. We gave her a hard time and Mason is just making her happy. I should listen more to her, to all our children." I sighed "indon't want you working in the kitchen, we'll order everything for tomorrow"

[melbender]

I knew he was expecting me to fight him on it, but I sighed and said "ok. But I'm making his birthday cake, and the older boys can help with setting up.. Your mum might have a party planner on speed dial that can come decorate and cater for."

[Demona]

I nodded happy she didn't say no and leaned in to kiss her softly "i'll call the catering service and send the boys up so you can tell them what to do. I also need to call the guys i bought the pinguins from just to make sure they deliver early inthe morning."

[melbender]

"penguins." I half whispered to myself. "of all the things to buy him." i just started to laugh, thinking how crazy it was. "least it's not a unicorn."

[Demona]

I grinned "did you wrap his porch?" I asked getting up and taking my suit jacket off "i'll just get the event planner on the phone and get back to you. Do you need anything?"

[melbender]

"just you, naked and ravishing my naked body." I grinned, stretching out as I rolled to his side. "ill be up here wrapping, I'll take a cup of tea thanks."

[Demona]

I chuckled "baby you always want me naked. I'll get you tea right away" i kissed her forehead and went downstairs.
