Now then let's go back to when I was 6. The day was bright. It was in the middle of summer. Little kids were running around riot as they do. Parents lay down in their front gardens talking and drinking and have a BBQ. Just a normal day nothing out of the ordinary. I was playing with my friends. They had a huge pool in their garden. Their parents were the richest in our estate so they threw the best Summer Barbecues. Every year everyone in the estate would attend the party. But this year it was different. 2 people who were normally the light of the party weren't there. My mom and Mr.Jenkins (the richest guy in our estate). The party was dull so the day was dull. We heard a few screams coming from the house but nobody cared they thought it was just the neighbours screaming off delight while they jumped off their roof into the pool. A few moments later Mr. Jenkins came out of his house with an apron on. On the apron lay loads of red splotches. There were red splotches all over Mr.Jenkins on his face and clothes. Still no mommy though. I went to to Mr Jenkins if he saw mom. He went white and started sweating and said no really quickly. I asked him if he had a fever he said he was coming down with a cold. Then I asked him about the red splotches he said they were just some ketchup stains. When I was asking these questions he was sweating alot. He was watering his grass with his sweat. But nobody realised the panic in his face as they were having a good time. But I couldn't have a good time without my mommy to look after me.
