Chapter 2
Phone call between Leigheanna and Kaitlin
Leigheanna: Hello?
Kaitlin: A little more enthusiasm, Leighy.
Leigheanna: Excuse me? Enthusiasm? You killed it!
Kaitlin: There's no need to be so moody and sarcastic. I am your aunt, and you're gonna stay with me. Period.
Leigheanna: No way!
Kaitlin: Oh yeah, instead. Get ready. I need help with my chores.
Leigheanna: You have daughters.
Kaitlin: Abbie and Neva won't help me.
Leigheanna: Neither will I, as well.
Kaitlin: Oh yeah, you will do!
Leigheanna: Forget it! Stop begging!
Kaitlin: There's no need for me to beg you. I am forcing you.
Leigheanna: Oh, shut the fuck up, Auntie! You're the meanest person ever!
Kaitlin: And you're most disrespectful niece an aunt would ever have.
Leigheanna: Then I wish you weren't my aunt. Farewell.
Leigheanna hangs up the phone.
Phone call between Kaitlin and Bridgette
Bridgette: What's up, Kaitlin?
Kaitlin: Your daughter needs to be taught manners.
Bridgette: How dare you?
Kaitlin: She disrespected me. She needs a lesson. So, I am gonna have her do very hard work.
Bridgette: No, you aren't.
Kaitlin: Yes, I am.
Bridgette: You're such a bitch. I wonder whether you've been adopted sometimes.
Kaitlin: Shut the fuck up!
Bridgette: You shut the fuck up, Kaitlin. You don't even know how to raise your daughters, let even your niece! And, let me tell you, you're not even able to make a marriage work! And this is why you divorced.
Kaitlin: At least I made the right choice. You didn't. You're married to a moron and you have a stuck-up son and a disrespectful daughter.
Bridgette: And catty and overspoiled nieces! It's all your fault, Kaitlin! You will fix things! Stop pretending to claim a place in Leighy's summer. She will do what she wants. Period.
Kaitlin: Perfect. You made your choice. Ok. Now I know how to act.
Kaitlin hangs up the phone.
Phone call between Bridgette and Dave
Bridgette: Hey, Dave. We are screwed.
Dave: Huh. I could bet it. More threats from Kaitlin, right?
Bridgette: What else could it be other than those?
Dave: Ok, ok, I got it. There's no need to get so mad.
Bridgette: Sometimes I wonder whether you'll ever listen to me carefully.
Dave: I am. Please, let's not start an argument ourselves. We need to keep calm. Kaitlin must back off.
Bridgette: But how? Leighy already got grounded by her.
Dave: What? Is she insane?
Bridgette: Don't you ever say our daughter is insane!
Dave: No, no. I'm talking about Kaitlin. She is perfect as madhouse material.
Bridgette: Hahahaha!
Dave: There's nothing to laugh! This is serious. Kaitlin must get a grip and stop threatening Leigheanna, otherwise the consequences will be hard to cope with.
Bridgette: Yeah, you're right. Seriously, go and talk to her when you're done with work. I am fed up with dealing with her.
Dave: Ok. In that case, see you later.
Bridgette: See you later.
End of the conversation
10 pm
Phone call between Dave and Kaitlin
The phone rings for a whole minute
Kaitlin: Huh. Again. Firstly, my sister, then my niece, and now... my brother-in-law! Gosh, I hate him so much! Why the heck am I compelled to answer his phone call? What the fuck do you want? We alread talked!
Dave: You're wrong. We never talked civilly. We just barked at each other.
Kaitlin: Barked? What do you mean? Listen, I am not going to hear any more rants, since I already made my decision.
Dave: Wrong! You forced us to accept your last-minute decision!
Kaitlin: Oh, come on! Do you think I am stupid? Do you think you can fool me such easily? You're wrong.
Dave: Have you even got any friends?
Kaitlin: This is not your business!
Dave: Oh, yes, it is.
Kaitlin: It isn't. Period.
Dave: Believe me, Kaitlin, Leighy will do anything she can to ruin your holiday and do what she really likes. Or else, she'd rather kill herself than spend time with you!
Kaitlin: Sorry if I didn't know, but I don't even care. Now, if you mind, I should be going to bed. Tomorrow is a very busy day for me.
Dave: You must be kidding...
Kaitlin: Do I look like I'm kidding?
Dave: You'll never change, Kaitlin. Since the day I met you, I've always considered you nothing than a manipulative bitch...
Kaitlin: And since the day I met you, I have always considered you a moron. And that's why your daughter is such disrespectful and rude.
Dave: How dare you? Leigheanna isn't disrespectful!
Kaitlin: You'd better not contradict me, David, because otherwise...
Dave: Who do you think you are? You aren't God!
Kaitlin: Yes, but I am your sister-in-law. And I know what's better for your daughter more than Bridgette does, let even you.
Dave: You're such a daughter of a bitch...
Kaitlin: How dare you?
Dave: That's enough, Kaitlin. You're making me mad. I'm done!
Dave hangs up the phone
The next day. Friday, June 17
10:30am
Phone call between Leigheanna and Leslie
Leigheanna: Hello Leslie?
Leslie: Hey! Did you sleep well?
Leigheanna: No... I had lots of nightmares.
Leslie: Nightmares? Which ones, for example?
Leigheanna: I dreamt of Kaitlin harassing me.
Leslie: What do you mean with "harassing"?
Leigheanna: She insulted me and then hit me with a broomstick. This is a treatment she loved to do to me when I was little... (crying)
Leslie: But you're grown-up now. She can't beat you up for no reason. And, have you ever considered that she ill-treated you because you were a little naughty?
Leigheanna: No. She is mean. Period. She treated me like that even though I was behaving perfectly.
Leslie: Though, nobody is perfect. Anyway, you should try to talk to her and reconcile with her. After all, she is your aunt.
Leigheanna: Do you think I am willing to talk to a woman who favors her daughters and mistreats her niece and nephew? Seriously, Leslie? Are you kidding?
Leslie: Come on. You know I'm serious. You must talk to Kaitlin, otherwise it will be too late.
Leigheanna: But how? She never listens to anyone, let even me.
Leslie: Anyway, if I were you I'd try to talk to her.
Leigheanna: Stop insisting!
Leslie: Hahahaha.
Leigheanna: I give up.
Leslie: Leighean-
Leigheanna hangs up the phone
Leslie: I wonder what the fuck is going on with her...
