Tom and Janet had gone out of town for the weekend. On that weekend trip, they did a lot of unmentionable things, in a lot of unmentionable places. Which was good and pretty therapeutic for them. As Janet still had problems feeling any sort of sexy at home, or in the bedroom. Which was still Bruce’s fault.

But a weekend away, was pretty nice. It felt like they were teenagers again. Tom and Janet had to have a whole moment in the car just to stop kissing and calm the fuck down. Because they were sure Heather was home. They had asked her to house sit, considering her and Billy were on the offs. Tom praying they breakup forever. Meanwhile Janet just rolls with the punches. 

However, as soon as they got out of the car, Tom and noticed a few, red solo cups on the lawn. Janet rounds the car and puts her hand in Tom’s. She can see is is pissed just by how he isn’t saying anything. Just staring daggers at the red solo cup. but Tom doesn’t move. 

“..Tom..Baby..I’m sure everything’s fine..Heather looks to have had a party..”

“Heather? Or Billy? Thinking he’s king of the house?”

Tom asks in a low growl, but his hand gives Janet’s a squeeze and she looks up to her husband. 

“Don’t get mad..”

She asks softly, and Tom looks into her big brown eyes, and just frowns but nods his head. He and Janet had a great weekend together. Finally. He just gives another gentle squeeze to her hand. Before they begin for the front door. Seeing only more red solo cups, and a mess. 

Opening the front door, Tom and Janet wished they hadn’t. The house was trashed, things that they got overseas was trashed, broken, and it looks like the party of the year happened here. 

Tom see’s that the family pictures have been graffitied. Giving him devil horns and a mustache. Janet also was not spared though, she too was graffitied, as was Heather. 

Janet looks around her home, feeling disappointed, and violated. She doesn’t know if Billy, Or Heather are even here. 

She isn’t cleaning this up, and neither is Tom. Janet see’s Tom’s box of very expensive cigars on the mantle, all gone. The liquor cabinet, empty. The situation, not good. 

Tom watches as Janet goes to sit on the couch, looking to her destroyed home. Wondering how to parent this situation. Does it matter? Tom comes to sit beside her. Both of them a little lost on what to do. They always put trust in Heather to handle things, and to not break their trust. But, what if this was Billy? They both know Heather’s weakness for Billy was strong. 

Tom gently takes his wife’s hand in his and looks to their home. 

“Call for them...Please..Maybe they are here and..Want to explain this to us.”

“I don’t know if I want an explanation..But..Okay.” Tom sighs, before he finally calls out.

“Heather...Billy...If you are home...Come to the Livingroom..Now.”
