Jesy's Little Girls (Little Mix Adoption Story)

Chapter 11 - Babysitters

Jesy's POV

Today Eloise went to school for lunch and the afternoon session by herself, she had done really well and we rarely had tears now. I was on my way to pick her and Olivia up from school, it is Friday and Olivia doesn't have class at the school so Perrie offered to babysit, I will have a little bit of time at home before I have to leave. I was nervous about leaving them, Eloise was still scared about me leaving and I guessed that it might be worse because she had been without me since 11.30am when I dropped her at school and Olivia had been becoming quite angry recently towards me not wanting to listen. 

Olivia's anger was affecting Eloise, who always played off her sister, she would get upset easily and couldn't be calmed until Olivia had. It was like living in a madhouse constantly, you never know what was going to happen the next second. It was overwhelming and at some points I was ready to scream, so I was thankful that Perrie had offered to babysit for me although I hoped that they would behave. 

Me: "Today, angel, you two are going to stay here with Perrie while I go to the studio," I said smiling when we were on our way home. 

Olivia: "No, I'll come with you," she said firmly.

Eloise: "P-Please let me stay with you, J-Jess, I'll be g-good," she begs tears appearing in her eyes. 

Me: "Listen, I love having you there with me but you must be getting bored being there all the time and I have a busy night tonight so I thought you would prefer to stay with Perrie and you know what? Perrie loves arts and crafts so you can open that art kit we got last week," I said pulling into the driveway. Last week we had been to the shop after she had spent her first morning at school by herself as a special treat, she had been begging to open the picture frame set since but we hadn't had the time so I hoped using this as bribery would work. 

Perrie's car was in the drive when we got home and she jumped out to help with the girls' things as soon as she saw us. Seeing Perrie only caused the tears in Eloise's eyes, that had been threatening to spill over since I picked her up, come flooding down her face silently. 

Me: "I won't be gone too long, angel, I'll be back before bedtime," I said leading her inside. 

Olivia had been incredibly quiet for the past while and was now glaring at Perrie, and if looks could kill, Pez would've been dead a long time ago. 

Me: "Be nice, please," I hissed raising my eyebrows. 

I distracted both girls with a snack before pulling Perrie into the living room. 

Me: "E spent the afternoon at school today so she's a little..., you know-stressed, and Olivia I thought she had a good day but I mean I don't know with her anymore..." 

Perrie: "I'm sure we will be fine, I've been looking forward to making the picture frame all day," she laughed. 

Me: "Are you alright to make dinner?" I asked still chuckling at Perrie's last comment. 

Perrie: "Yeah, as long as there some pasta or something in the cupboard," 

Me: "I'm sure there is just go through them. Right take a deep breathe before I try to get out," I joked. Perrie laughed and followed me through into the kitchen, where we just caught Olivia swinging her arm round at Eloise fist clenched. "Uh- Olivia! Did I just see what I thought I did!" I scolded. 

She looked down clearly not expecting to be caught. 

Me: "Mmm- This is your warning, Olivia. Perrie can put you in timeout just as I can, okay?!" I said firmly. "Now, what do you say to your sister?"
