“Where the hell have you been?” Karen had only just stepped foot into the training rink area and the question was being fired at her.

“Oh hello, how are you?” she sarcastically replied.

“Where have you been it’s nearly mid day?”

“Sorry I had to go somewhere didn’t think you’d mind anyways you were late the other week and didn’t bothering telling me?”

“But I wasn’t over three hours late?”

“Ok, ok calm down no need to bite my bloody head off I’m sorry and I will try not to make it happen again” she began to walk over to the bench that was nearest to her to put her skates on.

“Where are you going you never answered my question?”

“What question?”

“The reason why you were late”

“I just had to go somewhere now stop asking me all these questions and let me put my skates on”

“I’ve asked you one question which you still haven’t answered… well not properly”

“Can you just shut up and piss off it’s none of your business there’s some things you know that women don’t always want to share… why are you making a big fuss about it anyway I’ve said I’m sorry for god sake”

“Because for the last few weeks you’ve been late on a numerous of occasions you could at least let us know you’re going to be late you know we’re very busy and especially at the moment… why are you are crying?” Karen had got as far as putting one skate on she hadn’t even began to do the laces up yet and just for no reason out of the blue burst into tears.

“Nothing, just stop shouting at me that’s all you do at the moment and I’m feed up of it everything I do is wrong everything I say is wrong I don’t know why I’m even here you all moan at me for something”

“Karen, come back what’s brought all of this on? Why are you being silly?” Chris gave Jayne a weird look before sitting down next to Karen putting an arm around her shoulder but she pushed him away immediately.

“Get off… just leave me” she said whilst wiping her tears away using Chris’s jumper sleeves too.

Chris knew for his own sake and everyone else’s that it was better to leave her to calm down and bring herself together on her own rather than trying to help her remembering the last time he tried to help her when she was upset like that, so he stepped back onto the ice and skated over to Jayne who started asking questions about Karen.

“Looks like someone got out the wrong side of bed this morning” he said loud enough for Jayne and couple of other trainers around them but not loud enough that Karen could hear.

“What’s the matter with her?”

“Oh I don’t know but we’re in for an afternoon I can tell you that now she won’t tell me why she’s late or where she’s been and just bursts into tears for no reason and starts having a go at me because apparently everything she says and does is wrong and we just moan at her”

“Silly woman I will talk to her in a bit, I hope everything is alright between her and Stephen she said something the other day that they weren’t getting on as well but I didn’t really take much notice of it you know what Karen’s like she over reacts someone times for the silliest of things” Jayne had managed to finish what she was saying just as Karen had joined them on the rink.

The day seemed to be going by a lot slower than it usually would nothing nobody seemed to be getting anywhere and Karen was being funny and off with everyone even her best-est friend in the whole of the world Jayne. Jayne who had now had enough of Karen’s constant arguing with everyone, bursting into tears and feeling sorry for herself couldn’t cope much longer had got off the rink and gone on an early break before she totally lost it with Karen. Before long Jayne could see Chris losing it with Karen too in fact nearly everyone at the rink. Whatever it was that was on Karen’s mind seemed to be causing big issues with everything and everyone.

“Karen you’re doing it wrong, can you just cooperate with me please for one bloody minute” Chris was beginning to lose his patience with Karen now and everyone else around him could see. All he was trying to do was show a couple the positioning of a lift that went above the head it wasn’t really that hard at all but Karen didn’t want to be lifted and was kicking up a big fuss about it.

“I don’t want to be lifted” she said looking down at the ice.

“Well you don’t have a choice I’m sorry”

“I don’t want to be lifted… Why can’t you get Jayne to do it?”

“Because if you’ve noticed she isn’t here at the moment as you seemed to have drove her that insane today that she can’t cope being on here any longer with you, so just stop moaning on and do the lift please”

“You can’t make me”

“Karen working with you is like working with a small child in fact I think a little 5 year old couldn’t do a better job than you”

“Well you ****ing find a 5 year old who can do a better job than me this is exactly what I mean you’re moaning at me again what is it that you don’t understand I do not want to be lifted” the last of Karen’s words were shouted before she burst into tears again storming off the rink. She dropped down angrily to the bench putting the guards on the freshly sharpened blades of her skates pulling them off and just throwing them one at a time at the barrier around the side of the rink and leaving them. She didn’t really care to be honest if someone was to fall over them and brake their neck which they could have quite easily done.

Karen ran down the corridor as fast as her tiny little legs would carry her bumping into Jayne on her way but just pushed her out the way. She just wanted to be on her own needed some time to think about things what she was going to do and all of that.

“So who’s fault is it for that?” Jayne asked stepping back onto the ice and skating over to join the group of skaters and trainers who were all standing in a circle closely together on the middle of the ice.

“We are probably better without her being here at the moment I don’t know what the hell is wrong with her but whatever it is she needs to tell someone… all asked was her to help demonstrate a  lift she was adamant she didn’t want to be lifted so wasn’t putting any effort into it at all I had it up to here with her and said that a 5 year old could do better than she was”

“Oh well done Chris that was such a brilliant idea wasn’t it”

“Don’t start having a go at me I’m not the one who is cooperating with anyone, bursting into tears for no reason and causing arguments over silly little things”

“I’m not all I’m saying is you know Karen as well as I do she is a very sensitive person and that wasn’t one of the brightest things to have said to her… suppose I’d better go and find her see what state she’s in and sort her out and find out what the problem is that’s if my patience doesn’t wear fine with her within the first 5 minutes”

Jayne knocked gently on the door to Karen’s dressing room she could hear Karen crying loudly from outside.

“Karen sweetie it’s me can I come in please?”

There was no answer Jayne tried to unlock the door but Karen had locked it from the inside.

“Karen please open the door I just want to help you there is something bothering you and everyone is worried”

“No you’re not you just want to replace me with a 5 year old who would be able to do a better job than me”

“Don’t be silly no one could do a better job than you do Karen that’s why you’re head coach because you’re brilliant at your job we would never be able to find another coach at there like you”

“Chris seems to think different”

“You know he didn’t mean it you should know by now Karen that he doesn’t think before saying things but he didn’t mean what he said I know he didn’t no please talk to me”

There was another silence that lasted for a few moments before the northerner spoke quietly in between her tears.

“Chris… can I speak to Chris please?”

“Yes of course darling I will just go and get him for you won’t be a second”

Jayne hurried off to the training rink where Chris was and called him over  to the edge where she was standing and picking Karen’s skates up at the same time so no one tripped over them.

“Karen asked to speak to you she’s in her dressing room” Chris looked a little confused but went off to find Karen who had now unlocked the door so Chris could get in when he arrived.

When he got to her door he knocked then entered. Karen was sat in the middle of the bed with a blanket wrapped around her shoulders and crumpled up tissues around her that she had used to wipe her eyes from the crying. Chris walked over and sat the edge of the bed placing one hand on her thigh gently just resting it there.

“Jayne said you wanted to talk?” Karen shook her head in reply.

“What’s bothering you then?” there was still no reply.

“Are you actually going to speak to me or have you just got me off that rink for no reason” there was still no reply and Chris was suddenly taken by surprise when Karen moved up onto her knees facing towards him and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

“Karen what the hell are you doing?”

“What does it look like come on kiss me back”

“You’ve gone totally mad woman you’re a happily married woman and I’m marrying Jayne a few weeks time”

“Married I am but happy I am not”

“No Karen please get off me you are all messed up inside at the moment what the hell is going on”

“I love you”

“I love you too but not in the same way”

“You used to though”

“Yes used to but that’s when it kicked in that you’re a married woman I can’t be with someone who is married it’s not right Karen and not fair on Stephen nor the girls”

“I’m breaking up with him I can’t live with him any longer”

“Stop there and calm down… what’s brought all this on”

“I can’t live with him any longer I feel so bad but so happy at the same time I can’t look at him without feeling sick inside or….” Chris pulled Karen close inside his arms “… I’m pregnant”

“Ah Kaz congratulations darling what’s so bad about this”

“It’s your baby”

“But…”

“There are no lies about it, it’s your baby I’ve worked out the dates Stephen was away and I definitely did not sleep with anyone else the reason I was late today is because I went to my 12 week scan… here you go you can keep it, I asked the midwife if I could have two copies one for me and one for you”

“ I… I don’t honestly know what to say Karen, I…”

“Say that you love me and want to be with me for the rest of your life because that’s what I want”

“But I’m marrying Jayne in a few weeks… this is just all wrong what how did this all happen?”

“Well we had sex and made a baby don’t tell me you don’t know how that all works yet?” she said almost sarcastically trying to be funny but serious at the same time.

“You think this is all just a game don’t you?”

“No I don’t but you obviously think telling someone you love them a few months ago then getting them pregnant is a game though I love you and want us to have this baby”

More? I don't know how long this will go on for though it will probs onyl be one more section if I do add on!
