Pity The Child

"Right. So why date a wannabe version of me then?" Adam asked, smirking as he looked passed Cybele at Will.

Will stepped forward, looking annoyed that Cybele was in the doorway, meaning he couldn't get in.

"Have you hit your head recently darling?" Cybele asked. "I think you're confused as to who wants to be who here," she said. "William is a real man, he's good to me, he knows how to behave himself."

"Bullshit!" Adam said angrily. "How is hurting the boys 'behaving'?"

"He's never given the boys a lashing they didn't deserve," said Cybele. "Someone has to discipline them, since you can't."

"They don't deserve any of them!" Adam hissed.

"How do you expect them to learn how to behave themselves if they aren't taught, Adam?" Cybele asked.

"I've never once seen them misbehave." Adam told her.

"That little brat is just as much of a smart mouth as you," said Cybele, pointing at Lennon. "That's no reason to beat him!" said Sammy. "You keep you little whore mouth shut, I'll deal with you later," Cybele hissed

Adam took a step closer to Cybele, glaring at her. "How dare you call her a whore! You're more one than she ever will be!"

Cybele could see her intimidation tactic wasn't working, and quickly decided to switch gears. There was one good thing about being married to an actor, you learn a trick or two in the process. "Now do you see why I always got so jealous?" Cybele asked, her voice shaking. "I always knew you were going to leave me for one of your costars, one of your pretty little stage girls, I loved you, but that was never enough for you was it?!"

Adam just rolled his eyes. "Actually I left you because you were a bitch..." He said, shrugging his shoulders. "Now if you don't mind, I have to take care of my sick boys..."

"Fine, fine, fine, you want the little brats, fine, take them, I'll have their things packed for you to pick up by morning, jut don't come crying to me when she leaves you after the chemo sessions after paid for," said Cybele.

"I was planning on taking them anyway, seeing as you've already traumatised them...they must have saw your face..." Adam smirked. "And Sammy wouldn't do that, she's not a bitch like you are."

Cybele just glared at turned to leave.

Adam laughed and shook his head at her.

"You're letting him get away with that?" Will asked quietly.

"I'm done dealing with his childish antics William," said Cybele. "Come on, we're going home."

"But he just insulted you..." Will said, seeming more annoyed about it then she was.

"Well, if you're so worried about it, then you deal with him," said Cybele.

"Fine." Will said, stepping passed her and glaring at Adam.

"What did I ever do to you...?" Adam asked nervously as the man came closer, a fist raised.

Monte whimpered when Will came into the room.

Lennon frowned and hugged Monte tighter.

"How dare you insult her." Will growled, punching Adam.

"It's not an insult if it's the truth!" Sammy hissed. "Face it you wouldn't even have a career if it weren't for Adam, and if you didn't have that do you really think Cybele would want you?"

Will turned to look at Sammy, glaring at her instead. "You take that back!" He hissed. "It's not true!"

Adam frowned, rubbing his jaw.

"What's the matter Will?" Sammy asked. "Can't handle the heat when it's comin' your way?"

"I can!" Will snapped. "It's just not true!" He added angrily as he came over to the bed, raising his hand again.

Lennon hugged Monte tighter before letting him go, moving to the edge of the bed to kick Will in the gut. "Leave my mama and dad alone!"
