Jr's London Vacation

[jessie]

New JR and Sue Ellen story.

Chapter 1

John Ross was in London he was graduating from high school, and going to college. He called his Dad he wanted him there for Graduation. He knew his Dad probably wouldn't travel to London but he had to ask. His Mom was ok with it, but she was a little nervous. John Ross called home, and was surprised when his Dad answered.

"Hello"

"Dad"

"John Ross how are you, so nice hearing from you. You said you would call on the weekend what is wrong"?

"Nothing Dad I just wanted to invite you for my Graduation next week"

"You want me to come to London your Mom is ok with that"?

"Yes she is fine, you are my Dad, I want you to be there. Can you come next Thursday my graduation is Friday. We can spend sometime together"

"Well I will be there, I will make arrangements at the hotel"

"Well make it at the Hilton we are having a big party Friday night. Mom is staying at the Hilton too, I know she will be ok with you being at the same hotel. I would like all four of us to have dinner before my party. We can spend Saturday together, what do you think Dad"?

"Well if your Mom is fine the Hilton it is. I have to have dinner with the English Muffin"?

John Ross laughed, "Yes Dad be nice please for me, and Mom"

"Fine for you, and your Mother, how is she"?

"Ok Dad"

"Really he makes her happy"

"I guess"

"John Ross is something wrong"?

"Dad don't worry just come for my Graduation".

"Bye son see you next Thursday"

"Ok say hi to everyone, tell Grandma I miss her"

"I will say hi to your Mom"

"I will Dad, I better go I have to go to school"

"Ok bye". They hung up , JR sat on the bed he was surprised that Sue Ellen was ok with him coming. She was ok only for John Ross's sake but he couldn't wait to see John Ross, and part of him ached to see Sue Ellen again. He knew it was over but seeing her would make his day, but seeing Don not so much. He got up going to the shower, to get ready for work.

John Ross ran downstairs seeing Don in the kitchen.

" Hi Don where is my Mom"?

"She is sleeping she had a rough night, but don't you have school"?

"Yes in a hour"

"Oh well I'm leaving see you tonight"

"Goodbye" Don left , John Ross went to the cupboard, and got a bowl down for his cereal. He turned seeing his Mom come into the kitchen.

"Mom your up Don said you were sleeping"

"I was I heard his car leave, so I came down to see you off"

"Oh Mom you didn't sleep at all last night did you"?

"Not much, do you want eggs and bacon"?

"No cereal is fine, Mom Dad said he would come to my Graduation"

"What you ask him"?

"Yes you said it would be ok"?

"Yeah it would of course he is your Dad"

"What is wrong Mom"?

"Nothing I'm just real tired, you better eat you don't want to miss class"

John Ross ate while Sue Ellen sat having a coffee. He got up kissing her, and ran out for school. Sue Ellen sat at the table looking at her cup, she looked around the kitchen, and started to cry. She was miserable but she didn't want JR to see that. He can't find out she is so unhappy, her pride wouldn't allow her to let him know marrying Don was the worst mistake. He wasn't abusive, but he was demanding, he was never home, and she hated how he changed once they got married. He didn't want her working, or talking to people when he finds out about JR he will be angry, and she dreaded the fight she knew she was going to have. She was so tired of the pain, and heartache in her life. She just wished she would be happy, but she realized it would never be in the cards for her.

Chapter 2

JR got to his office, he couldn't get Sue Ellen and John Ross out of his head. He has been single now for 3 months. He hasn't been with anyone, and that was strange for JR. He wanted to go to London, but knew seeing Sue Ellen and Don happy would be hard. He didn't know what came over him, but he picked up the phone, and called Sue Ellen.

"Hello"

"Sue Ellen it is me JR, don't hang up on me. I wanted to talk about John Ross, and his graduation. He said you are ok with me coming is that really true"? JR was waiting for a response, but she was quiet.

"Sue Ellen"

"I'm here JR of course come to London for your son"

"Are you ok you seem weird have you been crying"?

"JR please just come for John Ross don't worry about me. You know he is having a party with his friends from school after the ceremony. I rented a room with Don, but if you are at the same hotel I'm ok with that. John Ross wants us to do something Saturday, I'm not sure if Don will be with us Saturday, but the three of us can do something if that is ok"?" JR sat back, he was hoping Don wouldn't be around that would be perfect.

"That would be fine Sue Ellen, why wouldn't Don be there"?

"Business, I don't want to talk about Don JR"

"Are you having problems"?

" My whole life has been problems after problems. I'm fine JR, it will be nice seeing you next week"

"Would it really be nice Sue Ellen"?

"I'm being polite JR, but yes I have missed the family"

"You mean me Sugar"?

"Don't call me Sugar you don't have any right anymore to call me that"

"Sorry if I upset you"

"I'm just in a mood maybe we should end the call now. John Ross is at school do you want him to call you"?

"No I really called to talk to you, I wanted you to know something"

"What JR is everything ok with the family"?

"Yeah they are fine, I wanted you to know I never stopped loving you"

"Oh God JR what game are you playing"?

"No game I'm alone me and Cally split up months ago. I think about what I lost, and you and John Ross were my life. I was a fool, and I know I lost you for good. I would do anything to have you back, but I know you are with Don. I just needed to tell you, I loved you, but I just didn't realize how much until you walked away for good. I always thought I would get you back, but I was a fool, and I pushed you right into the English Muffins arms. He treats you the way you deserve, and I'm glad for that"

"JR I have to go, I don't know what to say right now"

"You don't have to comment on that, but tell me one thing honestly"

"JR"

"Please I need to know"

"What JR"?

"Do you miss me , or think about me"? Sue Ellen put the phone to her chest, she started to cry. She hated what JR did to her, but she missed him since the day she walked out of the movie theater. She wanted him to run after her, and when he didn't she knew he didn't love her. He was confessing his love to her, but after all the times he broke her heart, how could she believe him? She brought the phone up to her ears, she heard him say Sue Ellen are you there"?

"JR I have missed you, but we can't go back. I have to go, see you next week". She hung up, and broke down crying. JR hung up, all he needed to hear was she missed him, and he knew just maybe he had a chance.

Chapter 3

John Ross got home from school putting his books down. He heard fighting coming from the kitchen. He took his shoes off he hated Don right now he was always making his Mom unhappy. He walked to the kitchen, and went inside.

"John Ross your home how was your day"?

"Great Mom but yours isn't that great I see"

"Don't be smart John Ross, we were talking, mind your own business"

"Talking more like yelling, that is all you both do"

"Again is it your business"?

Sue Ellen smiled at John Ross, "Would you like me to make you a sandwich you must be hungry"?

"Sue Ellen he is 17 years old he is Graduating next week he can make his own sandwich"

She walked over to the fridge, and grabbed out the ingredients, and was making him a sandwich. John Ross sat at the kitchen table, while Don sat down staring at him.

"What"?

"Nothing John Ross you are more like your Father everyday"

"Great I'm glad"

"Really you want to be like him he hurt your Mom"

"Yeah and you don't Don"

Sue Ellen walked over, "Please both of you lets forget about the fighting just for today". She sat down, "How was your day?

"Ok Mom"

"That is good"

"Mom did Dad talk to you today"?

Sue Ellen looked at Don, "Yes we talked about your Graduation he is so proud of you"

"I know it will be great seeing him again"

"He wants to see you Graduate John Ross"

"He wants to see you Sue Ellen, you are talking to him again"?

"About John Ross Don please"

John Ross jumped up, "I'm going to my room, I'm not listening to this anymore. Mom you don't have to put up with anyones crap including Dad". He walked out carrying his sandwich. Sue Ellen stood up but Don got up grabbing her arm.

"What did you and JR talk about"?

"John Ross will you let go of me. You are hurting my arm". She pulled away, she walked to the sink, and was cleaning up. He walked up behind her. He whispered in her ear, "You do anything with that man behind my back, I will kill you both"

"You are the cheat in this relationship Don so don't threaten me"

"You still want that disgusting man who treated you like garbage, who are you Sue Ellen"?

"A fool for putting up with either of you". Don hit her something he has never done before. She put her hand to her face, as he yelled, "I will be back later, I can't stand looking at you right now". He grabbed his coat, and walked out. Sue Ellen started to cry, as she held the counter. She heard Don's sports car take off. She jumped when John Ross walked into the kitchen.

"Mom"

She wiped the tears from her eyes, "John Ross I thought you went up to your room"

"He hit you Mom"

"Hey would you like to go to that pizza place you like for dinner. I'm not in the mood to cook, but I want to take a shower first"

"Ok Mom". She walked past him he could see the welt on her face, and it made him sick. She walked out, and went upstairs to shower. He grabbed his phone, and called Southfork.

Teresa answered the phone, "Hello Ewing residence"

"Hello can I speak to my Dad Teresa it is John Ross"

"He just came in I will get him". Teresa went to the living room to tell JR John Ross was on the phone.

"Dad"

"John Ross is something the matter"

"Dad I don't know what to do"?

"John Ross you are freaking me out, what is wrong"?

"Dad help me get her away from Don, he isn't good enough for her"

"I will come down tomorrow, I will spend a few days with you before the Graduation"

"Thanks Dad maybe Mom can join us"

"I hope so Son". John Ross said he better hang up, JR said he would call in the morning , and give him the arrival details.

Sue Ellen and John Ross went out to dinner. They went to their favourite pizza place. John Ross loved pizza, but Sue Ellen just wanted to get out of the house. She was very quiet which upset John Ross he has never seen her this sad, and down. He was so worried she would start drinking again.

"Mom please talk to me"

"John Ross I'm fine, I just have things on my mind"

"Dad"

"Well yes your Father, he is coming here next week. I'm worried he will cause trouble"

"He is coming for me Mom not to cause trouble"

"Really Mom your defending him, what is wrong with you"?

"Maybe we should go home, I can't take this John Ross"

"Ok I will stop talking about it, lets stay"

Sue Ellen wiped a tear from her cheek, "I'm sorry John Ross, of course we can stay". They were eating pizza, they were watching some young people dancing. Sue Ellen smiled she wished her life was different, she wished she just had a normal life.

"Mom want to dance"

"To this stuff this is loud"

"Areosmith Mom they are cool". Sue Ellen smiled, "Sure lets dance". She got up, John Ross grabbed her hand, as they went to the dance floor. They were dancing, he smiled he hasn't seen her smile like this in a long time. He also couldn't believe how good of a dancer she was. They were laughing as they danced to a few songs, finally Sue Ellen said she was tired they had to sit down. They went to the table, and sat down. They were eating pizza, talking, and laughing. John Ross loved seeing his Mom like this, but he knew she would be angry at him for calling his Dad. He wasn't going to tell her, he wanted this night to last. They finally finished eating, they decided to go home, and watch a movie. They paid , and left the restaurant, and got in the car. Sue Ellen drove to the video store, they went inside and got a few movies. They drove home, they both were happy they didn't see Don's car. Sue Ellen made popcorn, and grabbed a couple of sodas, while John Ross put the movie in. They were watching, Beverly Hills Cop with Eddie Murphy. They were John Ross's favourite films. They were eating popcorn really enjoying the film. They both heard the door slam, they knew Don was home. They kept watching the film hoping he would just go up to bed. He didn't he walked into the living room he stood staring at Sue Ellen.

"Don the movie is almost over"

"Can I speak to you in the kitchen, how many times have you watched this junk"?

"Many it is John Ross's favourite"

"Sue Ellen in the kitchen"

"No I'm watching the film". Don looked like he was about to leave them alone but he walked over grabbing Sue Ellen. "When I say now it means now".

"John Ross I will be right back". Sue Ellen followed Don, while John Ross watched. He was so angry, as he heard Don yelling at his Mom.

"I called earlier where were you"?

"I was out with John Ross, I didn't bring my cell"

"I'm tired of this Sue Ellen"

"Me too Don, maybe I should just leave, this marriage has been a joke". Don lost it pushing her knocking her against the counter. "I will say who leaves this house. I will be in bed waiting for you, be up in 5 minutes"

"No"

"What"?

"I said no you are not doing this anymore. What is wrong with you, I marry you, than you change a person I don't know".

"Be upstairs in 5 minutes, I need my wife, and you will act like one"

"I would rather die than let you touch me right now". Don laughed but he walked over grabbing her arm, pulling her to the stairs. She was resisting when John Ross ran into the kitchen kicking Don making him fall to his knee's. Sue Ellen was shocked she ran over to John Ross, "Go back in the living room, I'm ok"

"No"

"Go I'm fine please John Ross".

John Ross turned walking to the living room. Don got up holding the wall. "Oh you will pay for that Sue Ellen"

"I will be up, let me say goodnight to him"

"Don't make me come down"

Sue Ellen walked into the living room, "John Ross I'm sorry I'm really tired, I'm going to go to bed, maybe we can watch the rest of the movie tomorrow"

"Forget it Mom go to Don, let him do whatever he wants"

" John Ross don't you dare talk to me that way"

"Whatever Mom you are sick you really need help". Sue Ellen was devastated she knew he was right but he was the only person she trusted, and now he was turning on her. She started to walk out of the living room, he hated himself for saying those horrible things to her. She turned, "I'm so sorry John Ross, you are right I never deserved to be a Mother". She walked upstairs, as he turned off the TV. He wiped the tears from his eyes, as he got up walking upstairs. He went into his home, and slammed the door. He walked to the bed, and laid down, putting his hand over his eyes.

Sue Ellen walked into the bedroom, Don was sitting up looking at some papers.

"I thought I was going to have to come down"

"Don please can we talk about this tomorrow, I have a horrible headache"

"I have a stomach ache, a headache, is this how you treated JR is that why he cheated on you"?

"Shut up please"

He jumped up throwing a pillow at her, "Go to the guestroom Sue Ellen you make me sick". She grabbed her pillow, and walked to the door, and walked to the guestroom. She went into the room, she locked the door, and walked over sitting on the bed. She started to cry, hugging the pillow, but jumped when the phone rang. She grabbed it, and said "Hello"

"Sue Ellen it is JR"

"JR it is late here why are you calling"?

"I talked to John Ross this morning, I'm coming tomorrow"

"Tomorrow Graduation is not until Thursday"

"Sue Ellen what is going on John Ross is upset"?

"I'm sorry he bothered you with this, nothing is wrong"?

"Really I can tell you have been crying"

"Really I cried enough with you JR"

"Sue Ellen are you happy with Don"?

"I have to go JR, he is home"

"Sue Ellen"

"JR he will get angry, I don't want that right now"

"Fine if you don't want help so be it"

"JR wait"

"I'm listening". JR could tell she was crying, he whispered, "Sue Ellen what is wrong"?

"I made a mistake JR, he is so cruel"

"Sue Ellen after Graduation come back to Dallas, you are so far away from everyone"

"I can't come back everyone will know I'm a failure"

"Sue Ellen you are not a failure, you made another mistake. Your first one was marrying me, I hurt you I'm so sorry"

Sue Ellen whispered, "I wanted this to work, I really tried but he cheated on me too. Is it me why does every man hurt me like this"?

"Sue Ellen promise me you will think about coming home with me, and John Ross after Graduation"

"He said I was sick JR, my own son thinks I'm pathetic. I'm so tired of feeling this way, I can't take it anymore"

"Sue Ellen don't you hang up talk to me"

"I'm a failure, I couldn't make you happy, something is wrong with me".

"Oh God you are scaring me, promise me you won't do anything stupid".

"Like kill myself, or drink again"

"Yeah you are really hurting, I will be there tomorrow, we will talk ok"

"JR tell me the truth did you ever love me"?

"Yes Sue Ellen I still love you, I'm so sorry"

"I need you JR hurry please". She was crying so hard he whispered, "I'm coming now, I will be there in the morning, you stay strong"

"Ok". Sue Ellen hung up , JR was beside himself. He was so worried he never heard her so down. He grabbed the phone calling the airport, he needed to leave tonight, he couldn't wait until the morning. The Private Jet would be ready in 1/ 1/2hours. JR grabbed his bags, he wrote a note for the family, and ran downstairs to his car, and left.

Chapter 6

John Ross went downstairs, and found Don putting his mug in the sink.

"Where is Mom"?

"Who cares"?

"You are a jerk, I hate you Don"

"Really good go home with your Dad, than me and your Mother can have some alone time"

"Really so you can hurt her more than you already have"

"Don't be so smug no one hurt her more than your Daddy"

"Whatever".

Don grabbed his briefcase, and walked to the door. "Leave your Mother alone, let her sulk alone". He walked out, John Ross ran to the door slamming it shut. He locked it, and ran upstairs , and went to his Mom's room. He was surprised she wasn't there, he walked over to the guest room, and knocked.

"He didn't get a answer right away, so he yelled, "Mom open the door please". He heard her unlocking the door, and she opened it. He could see she had been crying all night, and she didn't have much sleep.

"Mom are you ok did you have any sleep"

"No"

"Lets go downstairs, I will make you a tea, and breakfast"

"I can't eat it wouldn't stay down"

"Mom you didn't drink did you"?

"No but I wanted to, do you realize how much you hurt me last night"?

"I'm sorry, I was angry"

Sue Ellen said she would go downstairs just for tea. She sat at the kitchen table she was so drained she couldn't do nothing. John Ross put the water in the kettle, and grabbed a plate, and brought over Sue Ellen's favourite cookies.

"Have something Mom". He walked over grabbing cereal , and a bowl.

"Mom I have something I must tell you"

"You called your Dad, I know"

"How"?

"He called last night, do you know how Don will react to that"?

"I don't care Mom, why don't you leave him"?

"I'm a loser you said so John Ross. You were the only person I knew would always be on my side, and you turned on me too"

"I didn't mean to say the stuff I said, I'm so sorry"

"Don't worry about it, what you said is the truth. I'm just so tired of everything. I just want some peace, I can't take much more of this"

"Mom you are scaring me, I'm going to skip the events at school today"

"I'm fine I won't do anything stupid, I'm just talking out loud"

"Promise Mom"

"Promise". He made her tea, kissed her cheek, and left the house saying he would be 2 hours. Sue Ellen grabbed her tea, and walked into the living room. She was sipping it when the doorbell rang. She put her tea down, and walked to the door.

"Who is it"?

"JR Sue Ellen open the door please"

Sue Ellen opened it , JR could see she had been crying, and that she was exhausted. He walked in shutting the door touching her cheek. "OMG did you sleep at all".

"No but I tried but my head keeps replaying all the mistakes I have made"

"Shh lets sit down before you fall down."

"JR I'm so tired". She burst out crying JR pulled her into his arms, and held her tight. He wanted to leave, and find Don and tell him off but he knew he hurt her just as much. He hated himself for that, but he wasn't going turn his back on her now.

[Sanda]
