From Circles Divided - I'm sorry I took it out on you. Friday Snippets #FriSnippets

From book 2 of Circles Trilogy - Circles Divided - NA contemporary.
Scene set - Julie failed her first professional dance audition then had a meltdown.



Her sobs quieted while Robert held her. Her breathing slowed. She'd fallen asleep in his arms. Wiggling himself around, he scooped her into his arms, placed her on her bed then pulled a blanket over her and kissed her on the cheek. He retreated to his room. A large pile of clothes rested in the middle of the floor and another in a clump in the corner. Grabbing a huge armful, he plodded down to the laundry room. After loading the washer, he settled onto the family room couch and flipped the remote until he found a movie. By the time the battle for planet Earth was in full force, his eyes were getting heavy."What are you watching?"He jumped and looked at Julie. "Just a movie.""I'm sorry." She hit his foot. Robert sat up. "I'm sorry I took it out on you.""Forget it." He shrugged. "I've got big shoulders. Ya can cry on them anytime."Julie snuggled down on the couch next to him. "You're not mad?""Naw, I figured ya were just lettin' it out." He brushed a hand across her cheek. "Ya look tired, why don't ya go to bed?""What about you?""Doin' my laundry.""I'll stay."Robert stretched out and Julie lay on her side in front of him. He draped an arm over her waist. While he watched the movie, Julie slept. When the washing machine stopped, Robert climbed over her, switched the clothes to the dryer then climbed back onto the couch.A sharp tap on his shoulder woke him. Blinking his eyes open, he focused on Julie's mother. "Go to bed. It'd be more comfortable.""I'm doin' my laundry.""Clothes are folded and in your room. Take Julie up to bed and go get some sleep.""You should be in bed.""I came downstairs to get a drink. I heard the dryer buzz then I found you two here."Robert lifted Julie from the couch and followed Mrs. Anderson upstairs. She pulled down the blankets on Julie's bed. Robert laid her down. "Good night," he whispered. Soon the house returned to silence as everyone slept.





Is the love of a girl from wealthy Westland and a street punk from the slums of the Shore strong enough to surpass all that life will throw at them and forge a life together? Is Julie willing to sacrifice her childhood dream of becoming a professional dancer for the man she loves? Is Robert willing to lay down his ties to the gang in order to hold onto his new found love?
Sacrifices must be made, but will they be enough?
