Ethan POV.
We checked through security and were let loose in the airport.''Where do you wanna eat?'' I asked being mesmerised by the choice of eating places in the food court.
'' Nandos or Starbucks, I don't mind'' Grayson replied.
'' ok, let's go Nandos'' I decided.
''Im not feeling that though, I want to get a frappe'' Grayson whined.
'' then when i asked 'where do you want to eat' that was your time to say Nandos not saying two choices and not like one of them'' I answered annoyed.
'' I was being polite'' he said in a 'duh' tone. I rolled my eyes and we then walked over to Starbucks.
We ordered the same thing which was a cheese and ham baguette and an cafe vanilla frappuccino blended coffee.
We then went to the newsagent shop in the airport and bought some stuff for the flight such as magazines and some food. I picked up a pick and mix as well to pretend I'm young again.
- flight number (make up a number) to Los Angeles is now boarding-
We heard the intercom and boarded the plane. It was a 6 hour flight which was going to drag but it will be worth it when we are there.
The flight assent and I opened my pick and mix. I grabbed a small bean that looked like chocolate. I bite into it and the sensation was not one I expected.
It was a peanut M&M.
'' OMG, this is disgusting'' I overreacted.
'' what's up with you? Your being so loud''
'' I just ate a peanut M&M thinking it was a smartie.''
'' your such an idiot'' Grayson laughed.
''M&M and smarties give me trust issues'' I mumbled to myself, trying to get the taste out of my mouth, whilst Grayson sits beside me giggling.
*Back at home*
Savannah POV.
I arrived back at home and mum asked me what I wanted for lunch.
'' same thing I have everyday'' I replied.
'' are you sure you don't want something different '' mum raised a eyebrow at me.
I shook my head and ran up the stairs. I contemplated whether to go to my room but then I saw Grayson's door open so I went in.
I stood in the middle of the room and looked around. I had been in this room hundreds of times but it felt emptier, it could be because half his belongings were gone but I didn't like it one bit.
I put my elbows on his bed and pulled myself up using every inch of muscle i had to pull myself up. Once I was up, I tired myself out so I led on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
I must have fell asleep as when I woke up I heard mum down stairs shouting about something. So I went down to investigate.
''Mum?'' I questioned.
'' oh sweetie your up, go have your lunch, it's on the kitchen counter.''
She said.I ran knowing how hungry I was and when I entered the kitchen I saw my lunch which consists of; cheese and pickle sandwich, carrot sticks, crackers, raisins and a few crisps. Not forgetting the all important apple juice to accompany it in my sippy cup.
Whilst I was eating my mum came into the kitchen.
'' sweetie, mummy forgot I have work today and the boys aren't here to babysit you, so I invited kerri, from next door to watch you.''
''But I don't want her to, I want you to stay'' I said in between mouthfuls of carrots.
'' I know, but there's nothing I can do now, I should of remembered that I had work the same time as your brothers were away''
I don't want some neighbour to watch me, she won't understand the games I play or how my toys work.
I tried to think of a plan of getting mummy to stay but before I knew it the doorbell rang.
I couldn't see the door but I could hear it all.
'' hi, sorry about the short notice, come in'' I hear mum tell someone.
I hear the door close.
'' it's no problem at all, I always said if you need me I'm next door. I'm just so exited to meet your little one''
I didn't want her to meet me, she doesn't deserve to meet me.
She walked in, playing with her shoulder length, red hair and then pushed her small petite glasses up onto the bridge of her nose.
'' this is Savannah, she's having a late lunch'' my mum explained my mum and she ran her hands through my ponytail.
''Well I can't wait to play with you Savannah'' she said sweetly. She seemed nice but she still doesn't beat my mum or brothers.
'' it will only be a couple of hours, right?, I have to be somewhere at 8pm.''
''Of course, I will be home at 7:30pm giving you plenty of time'' mum reassured her.
'' bye hunny, be good and I will see you sooner than you probably think'' she kissed the top of my head and strokes my back before picking up her keys and the door bangs shut.
'' what do you want to do now'' the lady said to me.
'' I have a couple of games in mind''
A/N sorry if that sounds creepy!*7:45pm*
We had lots of fun and I didn't even think of my brothers gone once. The lady is funny and she has cool games to play. I changed into my PJ and she is sitting on the side on my bed reading to me.
'' your mum must be running late, she will be home any second'' she said enthusiastically. This got me exited and I started giggling.
It was getting late and there was no sign of mummy. The lady said she has called her and there is no reply.
'' does your mum always come home late?'' She asked me.''No she is always there to kiss me goodnight and my bedtime is 7:30'' I replied
''Hmmm, I wonder where she is?, I need to be somewhere in 5 minutes, I'm going I have to cancel now aren't I'' she said sounding angry and annoyed.
*00.00am - midnight''
I drifted off to sleep but i woke up at the sound of the door...
Mummy was home.
I ran out of bed and peered through the top of the railing on the banister. It wasn't mummy I saw, I was a man in uniform, a policeman.
''Is this the Dolan household'' he asked in a serious voice.
''Yes it is, I'm babysitting their youngest'' kerri replied anxiously.
'' I'm sorry to tell you that tonight at 6:02pm Lisa Dolan passed away, she was in a serious car accident and died at St Regis hospital early this evening.''
''Oh god, the poor woman, how are the children going to cope.'' Kerri said with her face in her hands.
''I will send someone from the authorities tomorrow morning to look after the little one. is there any other children in the house?'' He asked.
'' no the others are on holiday'' she shook her head.
'' will you be ok to stay here tonight ma'am'' he touched her shoulder.
''Yes I will be ok, I will be here till the authorities come'' she stood up to walk the policeman to the door.
''Im sorry again, goodbye ma'am'' he spoke as he left.
I couldn't understand what was happening, no one looked happy, and there was no sign of mummy. I couldn't even hear clearly because of how far away I was. I walked back my bed and hoped it all made sense in the morning.
This was so sad!! Hope you enjoyed it though. I apologise if the Starbucks order isn't accurate, I have never been to Starbucks! It was a guess.
Keep smiling :)
