-Mle Mle's POV-

It hurt to think of them but she new she must. She would much rather endure the pain then forget. She must never forget.

So she recited her friends names in her head like she had done almost everyday since they had gone. Jasper, Bek, Vanessa, Bethany, Olivia and Bella.

As she said this a thousand images flashed through her mind... Bella stealing Rex's triple decker pizza, Bethany singing Tree Hugger, Jasper carrying two packs on camp, Baggy Trousers, Bek wearing the Nerdy Glasses, Seeing How to tame your Dragon at the movies, Olivia reading Manga, Vanessa getting her braces off...

She was sweating...

The pain was getting worse...

Almost unbearable...

Stop...

Stop...

There was a knock at the door.

"Em?"

"Come in Jim"

Jim opened the door and walker over to the bed. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

"You've been thinking about them again. I can tell."

There was a pause.

"Did you take Liam to pre-school?"

"Yes." *pause* "He asked me what was wrong with his mummy."

Silence.

"He thought it was his fault." *pause* "I said you were sad, when he asked why I said I would tell him later."

Nothing.

"What am I supposed to tell him?"

"Whatever you think is appropriate."

"Shit Em, he's four years old, can't you even pretend to be interested in your son?"

Silence.

"Fine."

Mle Mle felt hurt and annoyed as she watched her husband leave the room. Why couldn't he understand how she was feeling? Does he think she wanted this? Doesn't he realize how much she wanted to spend time with him and Liam? How she wanted to make them happy?

But she just couldn't.
