When The Secrets Unfold

Chapter 7: My baby

I take Skye with me to the park and we sit on the benches. I get a pen and paper out of my bag and pass it to Skye. " Here Skye draw a pretty picture," I say and she smiles at me." What's wrong?" Skye asks." I'm okay Skye what are you going to draw?" I ask." Me, mummy and daddy," Skye says.

" Okay you do that," I reply and all the memories come back. I decide to write a letter to everyone in our dance troupe. I seriously feel like dying. I don't know what to do anymore. Everyone hates me and I know nothing would of happened if I didn't have Skye but they don't understand.

" Mummy why everyone sad?" Skye asks as we walk in the house.
" Big problems Skye but you just stay your happy self," I say and tiggle her till she giggles hard.
" I love you Skye," I say.
" I wove you too Mumma," Skye replies.

The next day I take Skye in for her first day at the playgroup/ day care. I've registered her up a couple of weeks ago.
" Bye mummy!" She says and hugs me before going into the room. I thank Alice, one of the helpers before going to dance.

I've decided to be strong even though it hurts inside. I smile as I walk in and stretch normally. I get some weird looks but I don't show I mind.
" Okay so guys today we will practice the group dance," Michelle says.
I walk up to Michelle and start rehearsal.
" 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Your doing great guys! Keep the energy up!" I say. Michelle carrys on from there and she gives me a glare but I ignore it even though it gives me a sharp pain in my stomach.

I finish rehearsals and leave the picture Skye drew for Eldon in his cubby and leave the letter on the bench.

Rileys pov.

I notice the letter and pick it up. I read it then tell everyone to gather round. By now Maya has left and th rest of us sit down in the middle of studio and I start to read.

A troupe, my second family...

I'm sorry, I know it's not going to make a difference but I'm sorry. I've made the worst mistake anyone has made.

People say why did I have Skye. Well here's the answer.

None of you know what it feels like to be pregnant. I was called a slut and lots of other things. I know I could of stopped this. I could of had an abortion but I would of killed a baby. You wouldn't kill a person because you didn't like them or didn't want them so I didn't kill my baby. The baby inside of me was a person too! I couldnt kill anyone!

Eldon I'm sorry. Really sorry. Keep my sister happy. She deserves you! Please stay the way you are dont change.

Michelle I'm sorry. I should of told you. I know your probably going to ignore this but I love you. Your my sister and nothings going to change that.

Riley. Your the bestest friend anyone could have asked for. Keep doing what your doing. I'm sorry I put all that pressure on you.

Emily. Take my place as dance captain. Your amazing don't let anyone change that.

I'm sorry but I can't time travel or change history all the things I've done are history...

I'm not leaving a troupe I'm just giving my dance captaincy to some else. And trying to fix things...
