*Her POV*

Izzy ran towards the swing set and I watched as she swings back and forth. She points behind me so I look to see a boy around my age staring over at us. I have to admit he is very attractive but I feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Lets go Izzy" I say grabbing her hand and walking to the her moms car. 

''But we just got here" She says pouting.

''We'll come back another time'' I say putting her in the car seat then shutting the door. As her babysitter, I can't take any chances.

 Once I got back to her house I fixed some lunch. "When will Daddy be home?" She asks as I turn to look at her and smile.

''He's always here, Baby" I say grabbing her locket and opening it to show her dad. I see her crack a smile as a single tear falls from my face.

I check the time and it shows 2:30, Mrs.James should be home any minute now. I clean the kitchen and hear the door open.

I look around the corner to see Mrs. James standing there with her arms full.

''Here," I say walking to her and taking some stuff out of her hands,'' let me help'' I say smiling.

"Thank you so much Honey" She says smiling.

''Your welcome, how was work?" I ask making conversation.

''Tiring,'' She says frowning while getting her wallet out to pay me.

"Here you go Sweetie" She says handing me the money as I grab my stuff.

''Bye Izzy,'' I say hugging her bye.

''Byeee" she says showing both of her dimples.

I walked out as the December air hits my cold face. I start my way home since I don't have a car yet. I've been asking my mom for a car since I turned 16, but we can't afford it. I'm the only eight teen year old in Manchester that doesn't have a car. I reached our little old home and unlocked the doors.

''Amanda, I'm home!" I yell out to find my little sister running towards me.

''Where's Mum?" I ask picking her up on my hip as she points to the kitchen.

''What are your work days this week?" Mum asks me while cleaning the dishes.

''Monday,Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, and the other days I baby sit" I say sitting down on the small couch.

''I get off work at 8 every night and go in at 10AM. " I say thinking of my tiring work schedule.

 ''I'll be cleaning Tuesday and Thursday this week.'' she says sitting down beside me.

''I'm going to wash up, Deliah and I are going out to eat'' I say as she frowns.

''Can you afford it?" She asks me as I nod.

After my shower I looked in my closet and grabbed plain black leggings and a over sized blue sweater with some Uggs Deliah gave me last year for Christmas. I grabbed the envelope under my jewelry box and took out a twenty.

*HonkHonk* I looked out my window to see Deliah in her Buick waving for me to hurry.

I grab my house keys and run down the hall and out the door. I open the car door and hop in the warm car.

''Hey girl, lets just eat at my place.'' She says looking over at me.

''I don't care" I say laughing as she goes towards her flat.
