Okay so I'm trying to make this fit with the story but some characters might be made younger so they can fit into the story. Not sure yet. Hope you enjoy. Please read and review

Chapter One: Abel

Abel sat at the diner counter staring off to space. At twenty-five he was the spitting image of his dad when he was his age. He had shoulder length sandy blond hair, grey hooded eyes and a cheeky smile that won many woman's hearts. "Hey Jailbird" he spun around to see a beautiful waitress smiling at him. She stood before him in an unflattering baby blue Delta's waitress uniform, despite this Abel could tell she had an amazing body. She had long tanned legs, deep brown Bambi like eyes, naturally pouty full lips, a cascade of raven black curls, a dazzling smile and concealed in the blue dress womanly curves. He looked at her for a minute trying to figure out who she was, she looked vaguely familiar. It was only when he spotted the small scar on the side of her right hand that he realized who she was. "Beth? Wow you've grown up" He jumped up and hugged her.

"Tends to happen after two years" she laughed as they separated. She had changed a lot from being the awkward gangly teen his brother dated.

"It hasn't been that long, has it?"

"About that. I haven't seen you since Tommy's 18th"

"Shit. How you doing?"

"Good. New place, new job" she said gesturing to her uniform. "How about you? How's it feel to be out?"

"Bit surreal"

"I bet. Heard they had their usual welcome home celebration at the club"

"Yeah everyone was there. You should have dropped by"

"Yeah, I don't really hang around with that crowd anymore"

"I heard about you and Tommy breaking up, but I didn't know you stopped hanging out with the girls"

"Oh so you heard the abridged version"

"What do you mean?"

"Me and Tommy broke up because he was sleeping with Jessie"

"Shit, I'm sorry" Abel said awkwardly. Jessie had been Beth's best friend since middle school. Abel had always thought she was a snake in the grass.

"Don't be, now I know who my friends are" she said distantly "Anyway you didn't come here to hear my sob story. What can I get ya?"

"Uh just a coffee please"

"Coming up" she went to the pie rack and cut a huge slice of chocolate pie before returning to Abel with the coffee pot in hand. She poured the coffee into the waiting cup and slid the pie in front of him. "And freshly made chocolate pie, on the house"

"Thanks"

"Welcome home" she smiled sweetly and went to a booth that contained a regular customer. Abel couldn't help checking her out as she walked away.

"How was the pie?" Beth asked as she took the empty plate from in front of him.

"Well it ain't no prison food"

"Oh well thanks I'll be sure to put that on the box 'Better then prison food' my sales will sky rocket"

"You made it?" he said disbelievingly.

"Yes I did feel free to compliment it non-stop now, you know before I spit in your coffee" Abel chuckled lightly.

"Nah it was good"

"I was looking for great, but whatever"

"I meant great"

"That's what I thought. Now you guna tell me why you don't want to go home?"

"Who says I don't want to go home?"

"Abel you've been sitting here for over two hours with a slice of pie and an untouched cup of coffee in front of you. And I'm guessing your not here for the atmosphere" she looked around at the dead diner, that only had two other customers.

"Its nothing"

"Ok. But if suddenly it becomes something…"

"Thanks"

"Do you want a fresh cup of coffee to not drink?"

"Sure" she poured him another cup and then smiled up at Glenda the older woman who was starting her shift.

"Well that's my shift over. I'll see you round"

"See ya" Abel watched as she disappeared into the locker room.

"Hey honey were you been all day?" Tara asked slightly worried as he let himself into the Teller house.

"Around" He opened the fridge and grabbed a beer out.

"Your dad says you weren't at the club when he woke up this morning"

"Yeah I just went for a walk. Ended up at Deltas"

"For the whole day?"

"Pretty much. Saw Beth there" he said taking a swig of beer.

"How is she?" Tara said sympathetically. She hated how her son had treated her.

"Good. She told me Tommy cheated on her"

"She still upset about it?"

"No, she seems to be handling it well. But I ain't. What was he thinking?"

"You know your brother. He does himself no favors"

"So are him an Jessie a thing now?"

"No he's screwing everything with a pussy, as much as she hates it"

"I thought him and Beth were solid"

"You and me both. That Jessie's a devious bitch"

"Always has been" He shrugged.

"What are you doing tonight? I was thinking we could have a family night in"

""I was actually going to Caracara. They're having a blow out for the new film or something"

"Another night out?"

"Yeah 'another night out' I've had a year of nights locked up mum"

"I know. I just thought we could spend some time together as a family"

"Look why don't we have a sit down meal tomorrow night. Yeah? Just you me, dad and Tommy"

"That'd be nice. Sunday roast"
