Myles POV
Emilia is lovely and Briar loves her but I'm worried. She's here alone. When we we finished eating we stand up and leave.
"Briar I think we should go to the airport and check for her mom." I say
"Good idea." Briar says and walks to reception to get a cab whilst I go with Emilia to grab her case.
"Where are you from?" I asked
"Toronto in England." She said
"Ok, we're going to go to the airport to see if your mom is there but if not, me and Briar will figure something out." I said hopeful she smiled
We walked to reception and the taxi was waiting for us. We got in and went straight to the airport. We walked in and I told Briar the where she lives.
"Do you know which airport you flew from?" Briar asked
"Newcastle," she said so we looked for a check in which said Newcastle. There wasn't any. Briar ran to a desk and asked, the woman said the Newcastle flight just left.
"Please can you help us, Emilia's mom left her and we think she may be on that flight." Briar said almost in tears. "Please Joanne Ireland." Briar said the man checked the system to see if anyone on that flight was called that and surprisingly there was.
Briar face looked sad and Emilia started crying.
"What am I going to do?" She asked as we walked back to the taxi.
"Me and Briar will have a talk but you will have to stay in our room tonight." I said and Briar smiled sweetly. Then I remember something.
"Emilia at kids club tonight there is a movie night just for an hour, would you mind going there so me and Briar can talk and then we will collect you?" I asked and she nodded. Briar walked her to the kids club and I took her suitcase back to our room. I met up with Briar and gave her a huge hug and a kiss.
"What are we going to do?" Briar said
"We can't just leave her, and her mother is clearly not capable of being a mother. Fancy leaving your 8 year old daughter in Barbados and flying home. It's not right and no real mother would do that." I said
"Should we take her back to Canada with us? We have her passport." Briar said and I nodded.
"I really wanted to spend some time with just you but, Emilia needs us." I said
"And we can't stay here with her. We have children of our own and how would they feel if we stayed here for 11 days with a girl they have never met?" Briar says
"Your right, we should go home. But I do think we should go to England and try to get some of Emilia's stuff." I say and we both smile.
"I'll book us some flights to England and then Canada." Briar says and gets her phone out her pocket and books us some flight tickets. Once she's booked them she says
"The flight leaves in 5 hours, that gives us 3 hours to pack our things and go to the airport." Briar says and we go and start packing. When we're packing Briar goes and picks Emilia up and then brings her to the room. Then we're ready to go. We book a taxi and go to the airport, we check in and soon enough we're on the plane to England, Leeds Bradford airport. The flight is 16 hours long which gives us all time to sleep. When we wake up we're at the airport. We get off the plane and get our luggage and book a taxi to take us to Toronto and back. Emilia tells the driver her address then we're off.
The drive is long and boring but we get there in the end. The house is small and some of the Windows are smashed and have cardboard in so people can't get into the house. There is cigarettes all over the over grown grass in the front yard and the door is wide open yet it looks like nobody is in.
We get out the cab and sneak in the house, it smells of smoke and alcohol, the walls are just plaster and the floor boards are showing. We quickly run to Emilia's room, which had an old cream wallpaper which was ripped on the walls and a bed sheet hung up in the window. We grab some of Emilia's things and chuck them in a bag and run out the house and into the taxi which drives us straight back to the airport. Now what happens when we get back to Canada?
