The words that her friend was saying was going in and out of her ears and honestly it felt like she was having this weird out of body experience that she really didn't want to have especially when she had been trying to listen.
"Molly..."
Molly shook her head slightly and then looked up "Sorry, what did you say?" she asked and then grabbed hold of her tea before she took a drink of it. Molly had been doing that a lot lately, just zoning out of everything but she guessed that it was mostly down to the fact that sometimes what people said were just shit and rather than have to answer she just toned it out.
"Again?" her friend, Sarah, said and then stopped to look over at the dark haired woman before she finally said "I asked what you were doing for Christmas this year, you going to see your parents?"
"I can't actually believe that it is almost Christmas" she admitted. It seems to come around faster and faster each year and now it was almost upon them once again.
Sarah gave a smile and then nodded. "It does come around this time every year" If she was honest she wasn't sure she would be able to deal with half of the stuff that Molly has had to deal with. That girl was strong but at the same time she felt like she should help in some way to get her talking with Charles even if it looked like that was the last thing Molly wanted to do.
They hadn't know each other from the beginning of their relationship, Sarah and Molly had become friends when Sarah's husband and Molly were on the same tour. Now they sat and chatted as often as they could.
Molly chewed on her lip and she remembered just what she was going to be doing this year. "Well seeing as we were at my parents last year we were meant to be having Christmas in Bath but I guess that won't be happening so I might spend it with mum and dad, they will probably invite me nan around too"
"Have you spoken to him lately?" Sarah asked and sat down at the table with a cuppa.
Molly shook her head, she didn't actually want to speak to him at the moment but that might be down to the fact that the last time she had spoken to him had been after he got back from being MIA. She remembered getting the knock at the door and seeing them standing there telling her about the fact that her husband was missing, that all of the section had been missing too.
It had shook Molly to the core and she had to make sure that they told her the outcome either way. The waiting had been the most hardest thing ever, waiting to see whether or not her husband would be coming back alive. Only six months before that she had heard about him getting hurt in the jungle and Molly wondered whether or not they really should be going through this every time he left the country on some tour.
She had hated herself for asking about those bloody chest of drawers like they were important at the time. Molly had just wanted to talk to him and she came up with the most lame excuse to talk to her husband and now she was the owner of those damn drawers.
"I wouldn't know what to say even if i did speak to him" she admitted.
"Well I suppose that is what happens when you find out that he slept with another woman" Sarah watched Molly and took a drink from her cup.
Molly couldn't be around them after that, she even got rid of them from her Facebook account because she couldn't stand to watch them be in a relationship. Couldn't stand for her friend and her husband being together. Georgie had tried to explain but Molly set her straight then told her to piss off and not to darken her life ever again.
Molly hasn't heard from her again.. Thankfully.
But she always feels as if it's going to be short lived, she thinks that some how she will end up seeing Georgie again and honestly that was the last thing she even needs.
"What about you? What you doing for Christmas?" Molly asked.
"Dan's mum and dad are coming for the day"
"Oh poor you" Molly let a smile pull at her lips because she knew that Sarah and Dan's mum really didn't get on, in fact that woman could make the poor woman's life a misery sometimes but she mostly managed to put some distance between the two and being stuck here at Christmas with monster-in-law was definitely something that Molly didn't want to experience. She had been lucky when it came to Charles' mother because of the fact that Mrs James was actually lovely.
"She still hasn't forgiven me for breaking her lamp when I first met her" Sarah sighed.
Molly couldn't help but laugh and it even made Sarah smile. Christmas really was going to be hell for the woman.
The two females sat and talked for a little bit longer mostly because of the fact that Molly was a little bit lonely and she needed to catch up with her friend but the one thing she didn't want to be thinking about was what she would be doing over Christmas
There was a part of her that wanted to stay where she was but of course that was like twisting fate and in the end would probably end up going home anyway.
Home was a noisy place and even though her mum and dad still found space for her she knew it was definitely overcrowded and now liked to have some sort of space and not be watched all the time.
But she did have those presents that she had brought for Sam and maybe if she could give them to Rebecca then maybe he would get them in time for Christmas.
Molly left her friend and headed back to her own place and she went through her phone book and found the number that she had been looking for. She gave Rebecca a call, they weren't exactly the best of friends, and found out that Sam would in fact be in Bath for Christmas and would be heading to hers on Boxing Day. Which seemed to fit in with what they had planned. Sam would be spending Christmas in Bath with Molly, Charles and Sam's grandparents and then Rebecca's the next day. It worked out for them and she loved having Sam around and being in Charles' family home.
She sighed in resignation and knew that if she wanted to give the gifts to Sam then she would have to head to Bath, and then on to London, to give them to him. She loved that kid more than anything but looking his father in the face was going to be a big challenge especially when they haven't exactly spoken in a while.
Later that night she was packing some of her stuff up so that she could be ready to leave in the morning and she was listening to the weather report and apparently the country would be getting some snow over the next few days and Molly scoffed. "So that means nothing then" she shook her head and then went back to making sure that she had everything she would need for a few days in London.
Although saying that whenever the country got snow it would literally fall apart and that was the last thing she really needed especially when she had to head back to her place.
She looked at the chest of drawers with a distasteful look and wondered why the hell she even had them especially when she didn't actually want them in the first place. Molly headed out of her bedroom and grabbed her phone off of the coffee table and rang her mum.
"Hi mum it's me.." she then held the phone away from her ear and laughed because there was a lot of calling out to her when Belinda said that it was her who was calling. "Wow that was noisy" she smiled. "Yeah I will be home for Christmas if that's alright and please don't say that dad is cooking" she teased. "Oh good it's Nan that's cooking" Molly was actually very glad about that. She chewed on her lip for a moment "Okay, great well i'll see you tomorrow then, love you mum.. bye" she sighed a breath of relief and was actually glad that she would be able to stay there, even if the house was a little crowded but at least she wouldn't be on her own this Christmas.
She just wasn't looking forward to heading to Bath but she would do it for Sam.
"Molly..."
