Chapter One (Page Four)

“Stop calling him that, he is not a looser. If you keep calling him that, I am going to get angry.” Hailey said

“Why am I not so surprised?” Chan said. He couldn’t be bothered to pay more attention to Hailey and turned his attention to the kids.

“Come on kids. Let’s go.” Chan said.

Chan stood up and started walking towards the front door. The children got off their chairs and ran to the front door.

“I’ll see you tonight.” Chan said to Emma.

Emma smiled “See you tonight.”

Chan and Emma kissed on the lips.

“Bye.” Hailey said

“Yeah, whatever” Chan replied

Then, Chan walked to the front door and open it, then he and the children exit the house and then Chan shut the door behind him. Inside the house, Emma and Hailey could hear the sound of Chan and the children outside for a few seconds and then it started to fade and finally disappear.

“Come on, you have to try my cooking.” Emma said

“Thanks, but I’m not hungry.” Hailey replied

“Try it or I’ll get angry.” Emma smiled

Hailey took a look at Emma. Hailey smiled and try a bit of food. It is only now, Hailey realized how hungry she is, she felt she could eat an entire horse, but she chooses to remain polite and only ate a little.

“It is good.” Hailey smiled after she finished.

“You see, I told you.” Emma replied “Come on, I’ll drive you to work.” Emma said

Hailey let Emma gave her a ride to work.

Hailey is a primary school teacher. Emma drove her car to the primary school where Hailey worked. Hailey got off the car.

“Thanks.” Hailey smiled

“You sure you don’t want to come back to my place, after work?” Emma said

“No, I’m fine, thanks.” Hailey replied

“Alright, I’ll see you around then.” Emma said and then she drove off.

Hailey walked into the school.

“Good morning” said Angela, while bumping into Hailey in the school hallway

“Good morning.” Hailey replied

“Jesus! What happened to your eye?” Angela asked, when she saw Hailey’s black eye

“I tripped over the bath tub last night.” Hailey lied. Hailey never told anybody at work, anything about her situation with Sam, as far as they know is that she is in a committed relationship with her boyfriend and that is all.

At lunch time, Hailey walked towards the school’s stuff room to grab her lunch, upon her desk there was a big basket, inside it, there was a dozen of roses, a huge teddy bear and a box of chocolate. There was a card inside the basket too. Hailey took a look at the card, it is from Sam.

“Oh, how sweat, you see my husband would never do something like this for me. He can’t even remember our wedding anniversary. He comes home on the night of our wedding anniversary after work, had dinner and then goes balling with his mates from high school.” Angela said, as she walked up from behind.

Hailey smiled. “Yeah, I really am lucky.” Hailey said softly.

“How many men still remember to send his girl flowers like this after all these years? Angela’s husband can’t even remember their wedding anniversary. I really am lucky.” Hailey thought to herself, ignoring all the physical and emotional abuse Sam do to her, including the fact that one year ago, Sam legally married the daughter of a rich man, who live up in the Gold Coast, for the money, after he only know the rich girl for two months.

Hailey smiled.

School finished around three thirty in the afternoon, by four o’clock, all children in Hailey’s class, have gone home. Hailey quickly packed up her stuff, walked out of the school and started walking towards the train station to go home.

“Hi” A familiar voice stopped Hailey’s footstep. It was Sam.

Hailey turned around. Sam was standing next to his car.

“Hi” Hailey said

“Did you get the basket I gave you?” Sam asked

“Yes, it is nice, thank you.” Hailey replied

“I know you like Lilly, but they only have Roses, but here is a Lilly.” Sam smiled, hanging the one Lilly that he got upon his hands to Hailey.

Hailey took the flower. She smelled it and smiled “Thanks. I love it.”

“I am sorry for losing my temper yesterday I…”Sam’s sentence is cut off.

“It’s Ok.” Hailey said

Sam smiled “I don’t know what I did, to deserve you. You are such a great girl.” Sam said “Come on, let’s go home.” Sam continued

“Ok,” Hailey replied.

“Hey, Hailey!” Emma’s voice, burst into existence, from behind.

Emma noticed Hailey, left her cell phone at her and Chan’s apartment and decided to drive by Hailey’s school, to give it to her.

Sam turned his head around and the second he saw Emma, everything became like a mafia standoff.

“Emma Simpson” Sam looked seriously and said

“Sam Brown” Emma replied

Emma and Sam met twice before, both times Emma saved Hailey from been bash up by Sam.

“What do you want?” Sam asked Emma

“None of your business” Emma replied and then she turned to Hailey. “You left your cell phone.” Emma said

“You stay the FUCK away from my girlfriend, you fucked lesbian!!!” Sam finally lost his temper again. He waved his fist towards Emma, ignoring the fact Emma, is a girl.

Emma made a swift move to the left and kicked Sam in the stomach, her two years of Kick boxing training, was paying off.

Sam felled to the ground. Emma moved back and waited for Sam to make his move.

Sam grabbed a metal bar that was on the ground next to him. He stood up and waved it towards Emma. Emma jumped backwards, and then she kicked Sam twice, once in the stomach and once on his face.

Sam fell to the ground. Emma went to take Sam’s metal bar, away from him and throw it into the river, across the road. Sam was in too much pain to refuse. Emma grabbed the metal bar away from Sam, when she did that Hailey thought Emma, was going to use that metal bar to hit Sam and she quickly ran to Sam’s defense.
