Be mine

ABBYS POV Driving to work I already knew today was going to be a bad day. I replayed the morning events in head, Eric my partner of seven years asking me to phone in sick again because our son Jaxson had a little cough, but he was fine he had no temperature it was probably just his hay fever playing up. There was no way I could phone in sick today, the new boss was taking over the company today from his father who is now retiring but that wasn’t good enough for Eric only to be told I’d rather be at work then spend time with our son, which was the furthest thing from the truth that little boy means the world to me I would rather stay home and spend time with him then going to work but we needed the money it wasn’t like his father was going to get off his backside and get a job. I hated leaving Jaxson with his father especially when he was in a mood but I have no choice. I can already hear the pinging on phone of the abusive texts coming through. I turned on the radio trying to drown out the noise coming from phone and to distract myself from this mood that’s taking over me. Humming away to the music brought back memories of when I used to go out clubbing with my two best friends Izzy and Emma we used to have so much fun together they was always there me I was always there them, but we stop talking about five years ago. We didn’t fall out or anything they just slowly faded out my life. I still check on them through social media they both seem really happy I just wish I was apart of their happiness. I have thought about reaching out to them but I know it would just end up the same I do miss them. I push them from my thoughts it was no good dwelling on the past especially with the day got to deal with. I heard my new boss Hunter was a real hard ball and not so friendly Harry his father who is now retiring was sweet old man he looked out for me, when ever I needed to go he let me and was really understanding about it. I’d told him a little about was going on at home and he assured me my job would be safe with his son now taking over. Guess we will just have to wait and see. I pull into the parking garage and park my little bug up I sat there for a moment debating with myself weather to quickly go through the messages. I pick my phone to check them only because I want to make sure Jaxson is alright. Message 1 Your a real b***h leaving your sick Child to go to work. Message 2 You better be right that it’s just hey fever Message 3 Just ignore me then Message 4 Expect me to be in a bad mood when you get in Message 5 It’s not right Abby you better Ring me when you get to work I really don’t want to ring him but all I can think about is Jaxson wondering if hes alright especially with his dad in this mood. I put the phone to my ear and Eric eventually answers. “So you do know how to use your phone then. There’s me thinking you was stupid” He said all cockily I just sighed “ how’s Jaxson is he settled” that’s all I want to know “ yeah luckily for you. But it’s alright you go and enjoy yourself at work” oh my god he makes sound like I’m going out on the town “ Eric you know I can’t afford to loose this job we need the money” he just laughed at me “I can always ask my mom to watch Jaxson if you want” trying to resolve this “yeah you’d like that so you and your mom can sit there and say what a bad dad I am” I give up no matter what I’d suggest I just get something thrown back in my face. “Iv got to go Eric or I’m going to be late” the line went dead he hung up on me like he usually does when he doesn’t get his own way.I enter the office building and make my way up to the top floor office hoping this day can’t get any worse.
