New Beginnings

Chapter 20

Hayley's POV.
"Hey baby." I smiled at Hope.

"Hi mommy." Hope replied with the same smile at her mom.

"Lizzie and Josie are coming over. Are you exited?"

"Yes!"

-flashback-
I slid into my favorite dress. I smiled at my reflection.

I haven't been in a dress quite this beautiful since Hope was born.

I grab my phone as it rings rapidly.

~phone conversation~
Hayley: Hello.

Unknown: Hayley?

Hayley: Yes, who is this?

Unknown: Um..Emily.

Hayley: Oh Hi Emily.

Emily: I was just wondering if you could..... the girls miss you and Hope. I was wondering if you had anything planed or...

Hayley: It's fine. You can drop them off at one.

Emily: Thank you.

Hayley:

Emily: It's ok.

Hayley:

Emily:

Hayley: I'll see you then.

Emily: Goodbye.
-End of phone conversation-

"Ok before they come you have to clean your room." I said.

"Ok mom." Hope said.

Hope walked her little seven year old legs around the room cleaning.

I find my way to the kitchen just as the oven alarm beeped. I took out a dozen cookies.

I placed them on the counter. I know Lizzie and Josie will like them.

-Flashback-
We get off the plane. 'We' meaning Me, Hope, Josie, and Lizzie. We had to get out of the house urgently. They sent us someone safe.

They are always getting them in trouble. By now me and Hope are sadly used to it, but Lizzie and Josie are not. They are used to stable and now. We are just up and moving.

"Where are we...?" A little voice Josie said. 

"We are in Australia." I reply.

"Yay!" Hope exclaims.

"Are we almost home?" Lizzie asked.

"We'll be at the hotel in five minutes. Ok?" I said kneeling down beside Lizzie and Josie.

-Five minutes later-

I open the door for our suite. It had two separate rooms. One with a king size bed and one with doubles.

"Here let's watch some tv." I said guiding the girls to the open living room.
