Perfect

Another night out

**Mum's POV**

'WHAT?' Rosa screamed as we shut the doors on our car 'I know it will come as a shock love, but he is a very nice gentleman....He will be a good father figure for you as you are growing up...' I smile, I know that she will love Robert. They will get along like peas in a pod. 'I don't want another person around the house right now, I just want dad....' Rosa moans as I unlock our front door 'I understand love, but.....I want a boyfriend, I don't want to replace dad I.....' I reinsure her. I understand that she still loves Graham, so do I, but we have to move on. 'It's all about you isn't it.....' Rosa cries as she runs down the passage which leads to our garden. She didn't look back. What did I do wrong?

I walked to the kitchen window, I saw Rosa swinging on her little yellow swing, my poor baby. The school rung me telling me that Rosa was being bullied, who would bully my baby? I would write to the school as soon as I got back, but now I have to get ready for my date with Robert.

I wore my purple mini skirt and white, flowery blouse and black tights. I pulled open my special draw which contained precious photos, memories and jewellery. I took out a butterfly necklace and my diamond ring. I apply a layer of make up and I'm ready to leave. When I enter the kitchen Rosa was still on her swing. Then I realise that I should write a letter to tell her where I am going.

'Hi babe!' That was Robert arriving at the bar, it was only 5:00PM, but there were still a fair amount of people mulling around. 'Hi Robert, I was wondering if you were going to turn up!' I exclaimed excitedly. We arranged to meet at 4:00PM, a few men gave me a few odd glances, like I had turned up for a date and he had dumped me. A look like that. 'I would never leave you. You look beautiful tonight!' Robert comments as he gets a beer. 'Thank you Robert, I feel that we need to get to know each other better. I don't know your surname, where you work, what your favourite colour is...' I trail off. It was a bit strange that we had only known each other for 2 days, and we had fallen in love, but we barely knew anything about each other.

We spent the rest of the night drinking, dancing and getting to know each other. It turns out that Robert is an accountant and he works in a local bank. He earns £200,000 a year! He would be able to support me and Rosa. I asked him if he would live with us, in our home. He said that we needed more time, that was understandable. I told him about Rosa and he wanted to know everything about her, what she was like and what she liked. I told him about today. He was shocked. I still was. We went back to his for a drink and I stayed over night. He had a spare room, so I slept there. I had a brilliant day with Robert, I hope Rosa was fine. I checked my phone as I got into the bed. There was one message, from Rosa I clicked on it and I held the phone to my ear.

....BEEEPPP....Hi mum, it's me.....I am really hurt, my stomach is aching and I fell down the stairs, please come home. I need help....BEEEPPP...

Oh no. I check when she sent the message 1:06PM, Oh no...
