night time talks

Carrie's pov.





Give her some time. Ashley x



Carrie looked over the text Ashley had just sent her. Quickly typing back Carrie pressed send.



Make sure she eats something. X



Carrie jumped hearing her phone ring. She knew who it would be before she even looked.



'Im just making sure she's ok......'



'I'm taking her out to lunch soon so stop worrying......' Carrie smiled hearing Ashley on the other end.



'Did she say anything to you?......' Carrie's voice was small.



'She's hurt.........and angry....but I think Jeanne fixed that for her......' Carrie sighed rubbing her head.



'What did she say this time?......'



'Not one word........she just cooked bacon for breakfast.........' Carrie shook her head.



'And Kelly got angry........'



'Angry ain't the word.........she threw the plates into the garden.......'



'damn......'Carrie rubbed her head again. ' I should be there to help her.......'



'You should.........you both need to be together........' Carrie could hear something different in Ashley's voice.



'What are you getting at?.....'



'Nothing......'



Ashley please don't plan anything.........i can't risk things getting worse.......'



'And hiding out in a hotel room is working for you?.....'



'It's been one night......' Carrie complained.



'One night your not with your wife........and what about the tour.......'



'It starts in ten days....'Carrie sighed.



'And you think Kelly will be there......'



'You can answer that better than me........'



'Carrie im not sure.......i just know you need to fix it........you both need to talk......'



'I better get to the studio......' Carrie knew Ashley was right but she didn't know how to make it all work.



'Least your getting good songs out of this.....'Ashley laughed lightly into the phone.



'I don't write....'Carrie replied. ' Kelly's the one with the words in our family.....'



'Remember that Carrie......Remember she's your family.......'



'Look after her for me......'



'I'll do my best.....'





Kelly's pov





She looked at herself once more in the mirror, it didn't feel right. She was going out to lunch when her marriage was in so much trouble. Ashley had insisted they go, the only reason Kelly had agreed was because it meant time away from Jeanne. The older woman still didn't know Carrie was staying in a hotel, and the longer she didn't know the more Kelly didn't want her to know anything. If she got her way Carrie would be back home before Jeanne even noticed she was gone. The problem now was she couldn't find a way to get her wife back. She wanted her back but didn't want to be the first person to back down. Even as she thought it she knew it was childish but she couldnt let Carrie win this one.



Kelly looked in the mirror as Ashley stood behind her.



'Your wife's gone to the studio......'



'Did she eat breakfast.....' Ashley let out a laugh as she handed Kelly her phone.



'Check the text message......' Ashley watched Kelly closely as she read Carrie's text message.



'She's a worrier....'Kelly smiled handing the phone back to Ashley.



'She loves you.......'



'I know she does....' Kelly admitted.



'And you love her.....'



'I know that too......'





.........................................





Carrie's pov.





'One more try Carrie.....' Carrie could hear the anger in the sound mans voice. She had been messing up the lyrics of the song she was trying to record. It was a last minute addition to the tour and Carrie really wasn't feeling it. She knew she was a song short but singing a dolly parton cover really wasn't something she was wanting to do.



'Can't I pick another one?.....'



'Record company says you have to do this one.......' Carrie sighed into the mic.



Carrie placed her earphones back on her head and began to sing again, she took her mind off Kelly and managed to complete the lines they wanted.



'Now was that hard.....' Carrie ignored the sound man. Picking up her things she said her goodbyes to the other men in the studio before making her way to her car.





............................





'I'm fine mom........yes mom im eating......' Carrie lay back against the hotel bed as her mother made her usually weekly phone call.



'And Kelly's ok?.....not working to hard.....'



'Her mothers visiting......' Carrie heard her mother moan quietly into the phone.



' Still a raving bitch?.....' Carrie couldn't help but laugh at her mothers words.



'Can't change her now.......'



'I'll never know how that wife of yours turned out so good.......'



'Mom.....' Carrie took a deep breath. 'Mom im not at home right now.......'



'Honey it's late........get away from that studio and get home to your wife....' Carrie could feel the tears coming.



'Im in a hotel mom.....'



'Hiding from Jeanne?......'



'Mom.... Kelly and I are having a few problems......and......'



'Oh honey.....' Carrie's mother sighed into the phone. ' Honey whos with you?.....'



'No one mom...im alone.....' Carrie choked out the last part as she began to cry.



'Oh baby......tell me what happened?........'



'I.....'Carrie tried to talk but couldn't catch her breath.



'Shhh honey it's ok..........it's going to be ok........'Carrie could hear her father in the back ground asking what's wrong. ' Baby talk to daddy......'



'Hey care bear.....'Carrie couldn't help but smile hearing her fathers voice.



'Hey daddy.......'



'Do I have to come up there and bang you two girls heads together?.....'



'No daddy......' Carrie wiped her her away.



'Marriage is never easy baby........but it's worth it.........swallow your pride......if it's your fault dont be to proud to beg........Talk to mom......'



'Is this Jeanne's fault....cause I promise i'll take that woman out......' Carrie covered her mouth to stop herself from giggling.



'Mom......' Carrie sighed.



'Did I make you smile?.....'



'Yea mom.....'Carrie smiled.



'Then it worked.......here talk to daddy.' Carrie giggled at her parents attempts to make her feel better.



'Need me to stay on the phone if till you get sleepy?........'



'No daddy.......im going to sleep now.......'



'Night baby........'



'Night daddy.....night mom.....'



'Night honey....' Carrie hung up still smiling at her parents behaviour. She knew she could always rely on them to make her feel better, no matter what.





Kelly's pov





Kelly sat looking at the lap top in front of her. Tx101 is not online was all she could see. The more she thought about it now the more she regretted telling Carrie to leave. Screaming and shouting at each other had to be even better than the silence she was feeling now. Hearing her phone ring from the night stand she grabbed it seeing the familiar number flashing up.



'Hi Stephan......'



'We called for our weekly talk but you weren't where you were supposed to be.........your supposed to be with my daughter.....your wife.......'



'Guess you heard.......'



'We don't know anything.......' Kelly looked at the phone now hearing the voice of Carrie;s mother. 'She's to busy crying..........Kelly honey what's wrong......'



'We're just......just too stupid for our own good. ....'Kelly rested her head in her hand as she spoke.



'Do I have to come up there and band your heads together.......' Carrie's father was now on the phone again.



'It will work it's self out......' Kelly answered.



'Marriage doesn't work that way honey........you have to fight to keep it going........it's to easy to give up.....'



'No ones giving up....'Kelly answered quickly.



'Good to hear.......so what's the plan to fix it?......'



'That I don't know.......'



'Well honey...... start thinking....'Kelly smiled hearing Carrie's fathers words. For the past five years the older man had become a father figure for her, always there when she needed him.



'Yea sir.....'



'Good girl......now you need me to stay on the line till you get sleepy?......' Kelly giggled.



'Im good thanks....... Night guys......'



'Night honey....' Kelly shook her head as she hung up the phone. Trust Carrie's parents to be the ones to put a smile on her face again. They were to much like their daughter at times.





..................................................





Kelly watched the clock tick by 1 am. She knew it would be another sleepless night, her mind filled with thoughts of her wife. Her phone lay in her hand, Carrie's number ready and waiting for her to dial. Her pride was slipping. The need for her wife too strong now. Pressing the number she listened for the ring.



'Kelly?........' She could hear Carrie's sleepy voice on the other end, but she couldn't talk. 'You can't sleep?........press a button for yes.......' Kelly pressed a button hearing it buzz in her ear. ' Are you warm enough?.' Kelly pressed another button. 'Are you still mad?....' Kelly pressed the button again. 'Im sorry....'Carrie confessed. ' I hate myself right now.....'Kelly closed her eyes tightly. ' I love you......do you love me?.' Carrie whispered into the phone. Kelly pressed another button hearing Carrie let out a sob.



'Night Carrie.....'Kelly's voice was low.



'Night Kelly......' Kelly hung up before she said anything else. It wasn't the best conversation they could have had but it was a start.
