Generation 2 Chapter 2

I had decided to go out and get my job in the medical field. Okay I was only a bed pan cleaner but it was good enough for me, right now. My foot was in the door and that is all that mattered.
Little did I know that when I arrived home that day a surprise was there waiting for me. "Willow" my mother shouted from the front room "You have a visitor". I was worried but excited at the same time.
"One second Mum!" I shouted as a quickly checked myself in the mirror.
I walked in and to my surprise was my old friend Carol Anne. She was with a strange man, but that didn't matter right now. Carol Anne moved away when we were just kids, he family were from Riverview and she went back there with them.
"Carol Anne Thornton!" I shouted as I ran over to hug her.
"Actually Carol Anne Miller!" She said "I'm married. This is my husband Derek Miller". Her husband didn't even look up at me and I instantly took a dislike to him.
"So why are you back?" I asked confused.
"Willow Cassidy! I have only been here 3 hours come straight to see my best friend and she is questioning my reasons to come back?" Carol said turning her head like she had fallen out with me. "Derek got offered a job here" she quickly replied giggling and swining her head back round.
It was just like having my childhood friend back and it was amazing.
That night Mother had been working on her invention and finally made something useful. The digger.
It woke up all the neighbours around hte whole town though.
That night I went to meet Carol Anne at a little bar in town. Her house had her husband at and mine was cramped. I guess I just wanted to talk to her.
"So Carol. How do you know Derek?" I enquired
"My family introduced me to him. You know rich business man, they though he was good for me." She said as she sighed
"Don't get me wrong Willow, he is a lovely man, but he cheats on me and I always thought I would marry for love not money" She said as a tear ran down her face.
"Move in with me." I said quickly
"What?!" She said as she looked up shocked.
"You can live with us Carol and leave him" I touched her shoulder for comfort.
"Okay" She said as she raised her head "I'm going to do it."
That night Carol Invited Derek round and it didn't go well at all.
"Stop all this foolishness and come home now!" Derek snarled at Carol.
"No I am sorry Derek, but I am living my life for me now" Carol poked his chest with her finger. She was finally standing up for herself.
"Why would you do this to me Carol?!" He said as he looked down "I give you all you want!".
"Except love!" She shouted "I can't be with a man I don't love"
"We have something more important Carol" He said trying to grab her hand.
"No we don't" She pulled away "Nothing is more important than love. Now get away from my friends house."
