In a town called Lakewood there were two couple named Emma and Will. They have been together for the past three years, they have known each other since they were baby's. They start high school together and finish together.
Until one basketball game...
I wake up around 7am Will is still asleep but I hear Mia awake. I go use the toilet then go get my princess from her room. Well good morning gorgeous how's my baby girl today. Mama Mama. That's it well done baby girl, shall we go watch peppa pig and have some breakfast. Mama Mama. Am guessing that means yes.

Now am gonna go make us some breakfast, blueberry pancakes with fruit sound good Mia and hopefully your daddy will be us soon. Dadda Dadda. I make a on the pancakes, when I hear footsteps come down the stairs.

So what's the plan for today. We'll Brooke's picking me up at 12 and we're going birthday shopping, my mum said she would pick Mia up at 2:30 from here after work because the match is at 6:30. Yeah that's fine, if Maggie wants I can drop Mia off on the way to the match. Aww no it's fine she's happy to pick her up from here. Alright babe, what time do you think you'll be home at. Am not sure what about you. What time does the match finish at. It probably won't finish till gone 10 me and Jake are gonna get a taxi there and back. I mean I can pick you both up if you want. No it's fine babe it's a 30 minute driver and it will be late too.
After breakfast Will watch's Mia while I go for a shower and gets dressed. Then Will goes for a shower, I get Mia ready for the day. I dress her in some navy leggings with a top that says 'I love peppa pig'. Is my gorgeous girl ready for the day now, are you having a sleepover at grandma Maggies tonight. Come on let's go see if daddy's put the shower. Dadda Dadda. There's my princess, you got peppa pig on. Dadda.
Brooke should be here soon she's just left. So should Jake, are you and Brooke going out for drinks too. Yeah we said we would drop everything off here after then walk down to the bars down the street. Shall Brooke and Jake should just stay over. Yeah actually they should because we're both gonna be getting home later and be drinking. I'll let Brooke know.
Oh Brooke here, right Mia am going to go with Auntie Brooke but Daddy and Uncle Jake will be here the Grandma is going to pick you up. Right have a nice day Em, I'll see you tonight, love you. You to Will, love you too.
In the car: Hey girl, how are you. Hey am good, you. Not bad, right let's get going shopping. I thought we'd start off at the toy shop then head round the clothes shops. Sounds good, who's looking after Mia. Oh my mom is looking after her for the weekend. Also me and Will decided if you and Jake wanna stay over tonight but we're all gonna be getting back late and had a few drinks so it will be easier to sleep here and plus your car will be here too.

Right let's go pay for theses, put them back in the car then go clothes shopping.
We finish up shopping, it's around 5 now, me and Brooke grab a Starbucks and head back to mine. We arrive back take everything into the house. Then we walk down to the bars and restaurant in town. Let's go for some foods first shall we go to the Italian just there. Ooo yeah fancy some pizza.

So how is everything going Em, how've you been. Am not gonna lie it's been hard but am getting better that for sure. I just feel like Will isn't doing good he tells me he's fine but I can tell he isn't. Have you talked him about it like sat him down. Yeah but he just tells me the same, that's he's fine and is just struggling. But I know he's not fine I just wish he would talk to me. I know you do but he's still grieving over the death of his son just let you are, it's still going to be hard, I know I don't know how it feels to lose a child but your both going to get though it and get better together it's just gonna take time. I know your right, it's gonna take a while but hopefully one day we will get better.

Will texted me a while ago he says he's having a good time. His team are winning which am glad about because he's always in a bad moody the next day when they lose. Me and Brooke decided to get one more round then go back to mine for some more.
