Sleeping in the bed you made: Beyond Drama

By Lori Bowden

Beyond drama is about a family of four with drama going in every direction. Tracy the mother of Tabitha and David is a hard working nurse who just works and attempts to give her family the love and affection that they truly need. But in the back of her mind something continuously tells her that her husband just ain't right. If she had a way of really proving it she would have done it a while ago but every time the suspicion comes in her head her dear ole Reggie seems to do something to put it at ease. Her best friend since child hood Rachael keeps telling her to stop being so judgmental and just let things play out because one of her favorite phrases from her deceased grandmother is "What's in the dark will come to light." Knowing this Tracy always backs away and just let Reggie do what he does best which is woo her with kindness when he's messed up. Now Reggie the husband of Tracy is just full of himself. He is a real estate investor that spends most of his days with other women and pretending to be at work. Because he doesn't have set hours he can come and go as he pleases not working for anybody but himself. He thinks that while he is doing his dirt that no one can see him but little did he know one day baby girl was ditching school and riding right along side him with a couple of her girls from school. Tabitha and Tammy were like peanut butter and jelly because not too often did you see one without the other. They had been this way since they were babies because their moms were best friends. Tammy was actually at her locker waiting that morning for Tabitha to get to school when the school basketball star approached her and asked if he could holler at her for a minute. Tammy was attempting with all her might to play it cool seeing as dude's closest friend had just asked her out. When he asked her to see if Tabitha would go out with him on a double date Tammy thought she would just fall and faint right in front of him. They spent lunch time through the rest of the afternoon together. And the evening they went out and hung with the guys for until past their curfew. The girls continued to date the guys and because the guys the schools top basketball players they got into quite a few fights mostly defending themselves against jealous females. Tabitha had her first relationship with a boy and it had been a struggle to keep it alive.David, Tabitha's brother was a senior in high school and had been dating the same girl Breanna since the eighth grade. He hoped to one day marry her.
