The bell rang and Hayley ran out of the doors as quick as a rocket zooming from outer space. Already there were people everywhere with cameras and flashes all around. Xavier is her favourite, he always brings cookies, even if she's misbehaved. She likes Ralph, just not as much as Xavier. The two body guards stood closely too Hayley, making sure no one touched her and she quickly popped into the back seat and off the car whizzed.

JJ was in the back on her red booster seat whilst mom and dad were in the front. Daddy's a famous actor who works on a major TV show that everybody likes. Mommy isn't working at the moment because she has to look after JJ, but she has been in some good movies.

Daddy's real name is Jayden, and only she can call him dad. He always asks the same everyday. How was your day, then she says super, do anything fun? And she says yeah and tells him everything she did that day. Hayley only gets to see her dad for a few hours as he works all night long.

Driving along, mommy and daddy talk and talk and talk. She plays with JJ and pulls her cheeks up into a funny smiley face and JJ giggles. Once we stop, Hayley knows she's home and looks out of the window. She counts the number of seconds it takes to open the gate with dads voice and how many people are outside today. 7, there are 7 more people than yesterday with big fluffy things and vans and microphones.

Now we're in the outside lot that's a bit like a garage, mom unstraps JJ from her booster and picks her up onto the floor, she runs down the long path and arrives at the door before I even get out of the car. I unbuckle my belt and jump out, I'm still too small to reach the floor but dad always tells me that I grow everyday and I'll eventually reach the bottom. I run to him and give him a big hug, he lifts me up gently and swings me around. He tells me to get inside because he doesn't want too many pictures today.

When I get in, I chuck my bag near the shoe rack and sprint straight into the kitchen for a snack. Mom gives me a little container of sliced strawberries and JJ too. I give mom a hug also and we do our , cool, only for cool kids hand shake.

Sitting at the table, legs swinging underneath the chair, dad comes up behind me and sticks his fingers into the sides of my tummy and it tickles. I wriggle and wriggle until I manage to get out. I tell him I'm doing math sums and he helps me do one. He packs a bag with some food and water and his phone and some clothes ready for work later. His work colleague is also one of his best friends called Jacob Ports. He has 2 kids that I'm friends with. Tom is 6 and shep (short for Shepard) is 3.

After a few hours of playing and bungling dad, mom comes in with the dinner and puts JJ into her seat. Lasagne, my favourite. Mom helps me practise my spellings before shortly all my food is gone! And so is dads and moms. JJ is always a slow coach. I yawn and dad picks me up and puts me on his shoulders. I wrap my arms around his head and lean my head against his. We come to my bedroom, when he has to duck down, because he's really tall, to get into the doorway. He helps me get changed into my pyjamas and goes back downstairs for some milk. By the time he comes back up, I already here that JJ and mom have come upstairs and JJ is asleep in her cot. Dad brings me the milk while mom kissed me goodnight. I always remember to ask dad to sing a song which is my favourite, 'Wild Mountain Thyme' with his guitar. Mom sits on the rocking chair whilst dad leans on my bookcase.

By the time the song come to an end, my eyes are heavily shut, with the feeling of one last kiss on my head from dad and the door is shut slightly.
