A drink between friends

[jessie]

A short story with Bobby and Sue Ellen hope you like it.

A drink between friends

It was 8pm when Bobby called home, and told Ann to go to bed he wouldn't be home for another couple of hours. He was working late at the Office, and he would see her in the morning. Ann was not happy she hated Bobby working so late he needed to take it easy but she knew once Bobby had his mind on something there was no use trying to talk him out of it.

"Bobby see you in the morning but come home soon"

"I will love you Ann"

"I love you too Bobby"

Bobby hung up, and smiled but went back to his papers when he heard a bang coming from the outer office. He got up he thought he was the only one in the office. He realized it could be the cleaning staff. He got up walking out, and didn't see anyone but he saw a light down the hall by Sue Ellen's office. He walked toward the Office, and pushed the door open seeing Sue Ellen sitting on her couch with her shoes off, and a glass in her hand.

"Sue Ellen"

"Bobby you still here what time is it"?

"About 8 why are you still here"?

"John Ross asked me to finish up some paper work on a deal he is working on, but I'm taking a break"

"I see that Sue Ellen do you really think drinking is a good idea"?

Sue Ellen lifted her glass, "Yeah I'm a big girl Bobby, I know I shouldn't but I'm a sensible drinker now I can stop before I make a fool of myself"

Bobby walked over grabbing a glass, and put it before Sue Ellen for her to fill up his glass as he took a drink.

"Since when do you drink Bourbon, I thought your choice of drink was Vodka"

Sue Ellen smiled, "Yeah I can thank JR for this he left a great bottle of Bourbon sitting in his room, and I couldn't let it go to waste"

"Sue Ellen you miss him too"

Sue Ellen tried to smile but she whispered, "Yes I keep hoping I will wake up, and find out this is all a bad dream. I hate sleeping because I have dreams about him, and when I wake up it hurts to much knowing they will never come true"

"Sue Ellen he loved you, and I know he had one regret it was hurting you"

"Thank you for saying that Bobby but I think you might be right. I don't understand how two people could love each other so much only to hurt each other the whole time they were together"

"JR was a complex guy but I know he cared about us"

"Bobby can I ask you something but don't get upset with me"

"Oh no what do you want to ask me"?

"Do you ever think about Pam"?

"Sue Ellen that part of my life is over"

"I know but you never knew what happened to her, but you know now she is passed on"

"I love Ann but Pam was my first real love, I loved Jenna too. I was hurt when Pam left she didn't have enough faith in our love to think I would love her no matter what. I would have taken care of her, and loved her no matter what. She left, and I don't know what really happened to her after she left. I had to try to forget about her, but truthfully I couldn't forget about her, I prayed for years she would show up but she never came."

"Bobby I'm sorry"

"Don't be I'm at peace, and I hate knowing she is gone, I kind of liked thinking she was happy somewhere else"

"Do you think Pam greeted JR when he arrived up there"?

"You think JR is in the same place as Pam"?

"Yes JR has done some bad things but he wasn't all that bad"

"I'm kidding Sue Ellen"

Sue Ellen poured herself another drink , and poured Bobby one as they continued talking.

Chapter 2

"Sue Ellen should you be drinking you stopped for so long"?

"Bobby should I be drinking no but I am so be a friend , and don't lecture me"

"I love you Sue Ellen don't you know that "?

Sue Ellen smiled, "Bobby I know you have been a wonderful friend you were the Brother I never had"

"Sue Ellen can I tell you something without you freaking out"?

'Yes"

"I hated seeing you hurt when JR would sleep around on you , and there were many night I thought about coming to you, but I knew it would make things worse"

"God that is the booze talking you never would have hurt JR like that"

"You are probably right but sometimes I was so lonely, and knowing you were feeling the same way made it even worse"

"You are a good man Bobby I was just as bad as JR sometimes I wonder if I didn't cheat would he have eventually changed"?

"I think your affairs hurt JR but I don't think he would have ever changed he was who he was"

"You know when he was with me he was so amazing, and kind, and sweet but it would change, and I would try to figure out why. I kept thinking it was me did I do something wrong, I would do anything for him but it didn't seem to matter"

'Sue Ellen you are not to blame JR was just a man who didn't know how to be faithful but I know he loved you"

"Sad thing is I know he loved me but he loved half the ladies in Dallas too"

Bobby smiled, "JR was bad but we loved the guy"

Bobby took another drink, and poured himself another drink, and Sue Ellen leaned over to fill her glass to. They drank quite a few more glasses, and now they were laughing, and talking. Sue Ellen touched Bobby's arm, and whispered.

"Bobby thanks for being my friend" Bobby leaned over to give her a hug but they look at each other but their hug turned into a kiss as they hold each other kissing each other. They both stop just looking at each other but they jump when they hear John Ross say.

"Oh my God what is going on in here"? Bobby got up but he almost lost his balance he really drank to much. He stood up seeing John Ross but what was worse was Ann was standing there behind him just staring.

John Ross walked over helping his Mom up, and she leaned into him as he said.

'Let's get you home"

"I was talking with Bobby we were talking about your Dad"

"Mom lets go"

Sue Ellen looks at Bobby than Ann as she whispered, "I'm sorry Ann it is my fault"

"I saw the kiss Sue Ellen it wasn't your fault go home with John Ross everything is ok"

"Bobby"

"Go with John Ross we will talk tomorrow"

Sue Ellen turned to John Ross who wrapped his arm around her as he gave Bobby a look as he walked Sue Ellen out of the office. Ann didn't say a word but Bobby could see she was hurt.

'Ann I'm so sorry we were just talking, and I don't know what happened"?

"Bobby lets go home I don't want to discuss this when you are so drunk"

"Ann I love you , I'm sorry"

Ann walked out as Bobby grabbed his coat, and followed her but he knew tomorrow he was going to have to explain what just happened but he didn't know if he had a explanation that he even understood.

[melinda]

Chapter 3

John Ross got Sue Ellen home, and he helped her to the couch, and she sat down. John Ross was confused he hated seeing her drinking again but to be drinking with Bobby made no sense. He knew she fought so hard to stop, and he knew she drank after his Father's death but he should be helping her stop not playing into her illness.

"John Ross I know you are angry that I'm drinking again"

"Yes because you do really stupid stuff when you drink do you even know what you did at the office"

"You are talking about the kiss"?

"How did you guess Ann was right there what would she think you are suppose to be her friend"

"I am her friend, and I will talk to her tomorrow it was just something that happened"

"What would have happened if we didn't show up would it have gone further"?

"You hush your mouth, and you are my son how dare you drill me like this"?

"I don't want my Mother being a Mistress excuse me, and did you remember Bobby is Dad's brother. Dad would be ashamed of you Mom, and to tell you the truth I'm disappointed too"

"You can leave if this is all you can do, I was lonely, and Bobby listened to me, and nothing would have happened"

"Mom you are your worst enemy you will get hurt, and guess what you will have no one to blame but yourself"

Sue Ellen had enough she got up, and tried to compose herself she felt dizzy. She started to walk to the stairs, John Ross walked up behind her but Sue Ellen turned telling him to leave her alone. She was going up stairs, John Ross was so angry he yelled at her.

"Fine be alone, I am leaving"

Sue Ellen turned she was almost at the top of the stairs. She let go of the railing as she told John Ross to go she didn't need him she was better off alone. John Ross turned, and was walking to the door when he heard her cry out as he turned seeing her falling down the stairs. He ran to try, and help her but she hit the bottom , and she was unconscious. He ran over touching her cheek calling out her name she was not responding. He grabbed his cell phone, and called 911 he was frantic, they told him  not to move her, and they stayed on the phone asking him questions. John Ross realized he should have been more understanding, and waited to give her a lecture when she was sober. He has lost his Dad but he couldn't lose his Mom now too. He stayed with her until the ambulance came, he went with her to the hospital. He knew this was all his fault she has been there for him so many times, and the one time she needed him he let her down.

To be Continued.

Great update Jessie. I LOVED the talk be John Ross and Sue Ellen in this chapter. I don't blame John Ross for being mad at his mom for drinking again. Poor Sue Ellen at the end of this chapter. I hope that Sue Ellen is going to be ok after she fell down the stairs. I hope you update this awesome story again really soon. I love all of your awesome stories and one shots that you are writing on my awesome message board.

[melinda]

I hope that she will be okay. I don't blame John Ross for being mad, he just needs to know that his mom is hurting really badly right now. good job and more soon please!

Chapter 4

John Ross was pacing back, and forth at the hospital. They took his Mom into the exam room 20 minutes ago, and no one was coming out to explain anything to him. He felt someone put their hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Bobby, and Anne, and he was so angry he pushed Bobby away.

'What happened John Ross she was with you how the hell did she fall downstairs"?

"Really Uncle Bobby you were drinking with her when you knew she was a alcoholic. What were you thinking Bobby my Mom is hurting but did you think by getting her drunk you would get lucky"?

Bobby lost it, and punched John Ross knocking him backward. John Ross was shocked for a minute but a rage came over him, and he ran at Bobby. Ann grabbed John Ross, and begged him to stop.

John Ross pulled away from Ann, and told them to leave he would take care of his Mom.

"I am not going anywhere until I know she is going to be ok"

John Ross walked away, and stood by the door Sue Ellen went in as Ann touched Bobby's arm telling him they should sit down. Bobby walked over sitting down he put his hands over his face maybe what John Ross was saying is true. How could he allow Sue Ellen to drink he knew she was a alcoholic but at that moment he just wanted to forget everything, and drinking was helping with the pain.

'Bobby maybe you should go home, I will stay, and I will call if there is any changes"

"No Ann I am staying God how could you ask me to leave she needs to know we all are here for her"?

"I hate saying this but John Ross is right how could you get drunk with her. She fell downstairs because she was drinking, and I understand why John Ross is so angry"

"Really John Ross has not been there for Sue Ellen she is hurting, and I wanted to help her"

"By getting drunk"?

"I know it is wrong but she has been drinking ever since JR death. She loved him, and I don't know how to help her but I was trying"

"Really by kissing her how did that help"?

"The kiss was nothing"

"Really it looked like something to me"

"Ann please stop the kiss was innocent we were drinking, and it happened, and it would never happen again"

"Well I am so happy you explained that kiss I feel so much better"

"Please don't blame Sue Ellen it isn't her fault"

"I don't blame Sue Ellen Bobby I blame you"

Bobby stared at Ann not knowing what to think but they saw the Doctor come out, and walk over to John Ross. Bobby got up he wanted to hear what the Doctor was going to say.

"John Ross we are taking your Mom into surgery her injuries are very serious. She has a dislocated shoulder which is not what we are worried about. She has bleeding on the brain which we have to go in, and release some of the pressure. She has a broken ankle, and a few ribs which will heal. We will not know until after the surgery , and after she wakes up what damage the head injury will cause. I need to prepare you this is very serious but keep the faith she is strong, and she will fight because she has family that need, and love her. He turned, and walked away leaving John Ross , Bobby and Ann alone trying to absorb the news they just heard.

Ann walked over touching John Ross's shoulder, and whispered.

"John Ross she is a fighter I know she will come out of this"

"I basically told her she deserved to be alone, I was so cruel she may give up because I basically gave up on her". He turned, and ran down the hall as Ann turned to Bobby who knew he should run after him but he couldn't because right this moment he knew if Sue Ellen died he would never forgive himself. Bobby walked away leaving Ann standing there wondering who she should help right this moment. She was so mad at Bobby but she could see he was suffering so she ran to catch up to him as she said.

"Bobby don't pull away from me, I am here for you"

Bobby hugged her tight as he whispered, "I don't deserve you Ann".

[Sanda]

Great update Jessie.I just hope and pray that Sue Ellen is going to be ok and that she going to survive the surgery to relieve the bleeding on her brain. Please don't let Sue Ellen die in your story. Bobby and John Ross both need to get their tempers under control, and stop punching on each other at the hospital and get their acts together and pull it together becuase Sue Ellen is going to need John Ross, Bobby, and Ann to help her deal with the pain of her injuries after she gets out of surgery and she wakes up. Thank god Ann is their for Bobby to keep him in line even though I wish that Pam was with him to help him, John Ross and Sue Ellen through this crisis. I hope you update this awesome story again really soon.

[melinda]

I love this, I really don't read much dallas 2012 stories but yours are just amazing!!

Chapter 5

John Ross got in his car, and drove off. He got to Southfork, and parked his car, and got out walking to the house. Christopher was sitting having a drink with Emma. She stood up, and yelled out, "John Ross come join us for a drink"

"No I need to be alone"

"Well Pamela is laying down she has a headache so maybe you should let her rest". Emma said

John Ross shook his head, and walked into the house, and down the hall to Pamela and his room. He walked in, and shut the door a little to loud waking Pamela up.

"God John Ross what is the matter why did you slam the door like that"?

"I am sorry". John Ross sat at the end of the bed, and Pamela moved over beside him touching his shoulder asking him what was wrong?

"My Mom is in the hospital she fell down stairs after getting drunk with my Uncle Bobby. I was so cruel to her, and she may die and I can't tell her how I really feel"

"She knows you love her but she will not die do you want me to come to the Hospital with you"?

"I left there Bobby is there for her, I can't stand looking at him right now"

"You can't blame Bobby John Ross. You should be there for your Mom when she comes out of surgery"

"No I can't be there for her"

Pamela was shocked but John Ross finally said, "I can't lose her too"

"John Ross your Mom is so strong she will come out of this and she will need us to be there for her"

"Pamela I screwed up so much in my life, and I don't want to lose you"

"Why would you lose me, I love you John Ross". He reached over hugging her but he knew once she finds out about Emma she will leave, and he would deserve it. He is proud he is following in his Dad's footsteps in Business, but following his footsteps when it comes to hurting his wife was so wrong but maybe he was meant to be great in Business, and have lots of lovers, but grow old, and be alone when he dies.

"John Ross you are shaking are you ok is there something else you need to tell me"?

"No I am a terrible son, and my Mom didn't deserve what happened to her all these years"

"Are you talking about your relationship with her or your Fathers"?

"Both she deserved so much better than both of us"

Pamela smiled as she said, "You can make amends when she wakes up John Ross"

"Yeah if she does wake up" Pamela held his hand as they both sat there just looking at each other not knowing what to say next.

[Sanda]

Great chapter Jessie. I loved the talk between Pamela Rebecca and John Ross in this chapter. I agree with Pamela Rebecca that John Ross needs to go back to the hospital and be with his uncle Bobby and Ann because Sue Ellen is going to need all of them when she wakes up after she gets out of surgery. I hope Sue Ellen wakes up soon after she gets out of surgery. I love this Dallas 2012 story you are writing. You are an awesome writer. You should be writing for TNT's Dallas instead of Cynthia Cidre. I hope you update this story again really soon. I love all of your stories and one shots you are writing and posting on my message board.

[melinda]

this is really sad but good, I can't wait to see what happens next.

I agree with Sanda, you both should be writers for the new Dallas
