Broken 2:A Second Chance

18

"You're going to be late for school." I yell from downstairs as Lukas rushed in.

"Sorry." He says and wipes imaginary smut off his shoes.

He smiled when he finishes and shoots a crooked thumbs up.

"I'm ready." He says.

I smile and walk to the car with him.

"Can I dye my hair for my birthday?" He asks shyly.

"What,you want to dye your hair?" I ask and laugh a bit.

He nods and looks at me.

"Maybe black or blue. Or both." He says happily.

I nod and give him a high five.

"Sure." I say and close the car door.

"I'm bored."

"I'm tired."

"Are we there yet?"

"Mommy!"

These were the sounds that jolted me out if sleep.

"What?" I say in a sleepy voice.

"I have an itch." Noah says and taps his elbow. I roll my eyes and rub my eyes.

"Uncle Josh wake up!" Liam shouts and hits Josh in the face with a magazine.

Josh opens his eyes and looks at Liam.

"I'm up." He says and yawns a bit. I can't wait to get to our hotel room so that I can sleep till the next day.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to New South Wales. We hope you had a pleasant flight. As we prepare for landing, please ensure your seatbelt is securely fastened. The current weather in New South Wales is sunny with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. We are scheduled to land at Sydney Airport in approximately 15 minutes. Thank you for choosing to fly with us." The pilot says and I can't help but smile at the thought of snuggling a pillow in the next two to three hours.

"We're here." I tell the twins,who are eager to get off the plane.

"I think I have jet lag." Josh says when we get off the plane.

I chuckle and look at Liam and Noah who are walking hand in hand.

"So what will you do now that we're here?" Josh asks me.

"Well I booked the penthouse suite for us. So I'll be sleeping for today and exploring Jervis Bay for the remainder of the summer." I said and smile sweetly at him.

"But doesn't it cost thousands of dollars a night?" He asks while dragging our suitcases along with him.

"Yes it does. And I saved ahead. I have the whole summer trip planned out." I say happily and giggle a bit.

"Okay then." Josh says and holds my waist.

"I want to piss." Liam finally says.
"We'll be there shortly,just wait a bit." Josh tells him.

I'm beginning to regret not letting him wear diapers again.

"When we get there,you can piss all you want,okay?" I say and look out the window.

Liam nods and begins swinging his little feet.

"She's out of the country,will it still work?" The woman asks and twirls the telephone cord around her finger.

"Trust me,that's how we'll get to her better." The other person says.

The woman smiles and hugs the person.

"But what if we fail again?" The woman asks with a panicky voice.

The person places his finger on her lips and shushes her.

"I have this planned out. She wouldn't know what hit her!" The person said and kissed the woman.

"Eliza,get down here." Eliza's mother yells, snapping a sleepy Eliza awake.

Eliza groans and get out of bed.

"What the hell?!" She yells when she gets down.

"Don't you dare cuss at me!" Her mother warns. "You're daughter has been crying like crazy while you're sleeping your ass off!"

She rolls her eyes and walks towards the fridge.

"I don't have time for this." She hisses.

"I bet you don't. When you were getting wasted,you didn't think you'd have a hangover today." Her mother says with a shaky voice.

Eliza slams the fridge and looks at her fuming mother.

"Eliza,I'm tired of your behaviour and your vengeful attitude." Her mother finally cries.

"If fate wanted him to be imprisoned,so be it. It wasn't her fault. He deserved it." She spat without emotion.

Eliza blinks rapidly in a bid to stop the falling tears.

"I'm going out. I won't be back. I'll stay at Jack's." She says and walks out of the kitchen.

"I thought it was Con-" Her mother didn't even finish the sentence when the door slams shut.
