We grabbed our bags and made our way to the car. I strapped them in and drove them to school. First day at school.. wow. It feels like 5 minuets ago they were taking their first steps and now they are starting their educational life! This is crazy.
We pulled up to school. It was swarming with children and emotional parents. Primrose Primary School For Girls. It was a private school, I want them to have the best education they can get. They got out the car with smiles on their face. We walked through the gates and up to the school entrance.
"Mummy..?" Aubrey said
"Yes?" I said bending down
"I don't want to go.." She said holding onto me
"I DO!" Liyra cheered
"Oh Aubrey.. I know this is tough but you are a little super hero! You can take on anything!" I said smiling
"But maybe I'm not ready to be a super hero, can't I be a super hero at home?" She asked
"Maybe.. but you can make lots of friends here, and play with all the toys and learn lots of new things!" I said smiling
"But what if everyone picks on me for not having a dad.." Aubrey said
"They won't honey. Is that what you are worried about?" I asked
"Yes.." She said shyly
"Honestly darling, they won't and if they do, we can sort it out. Because.." I said
"There is never a problem that can't be fixed with a smile and love." Aubrey said finishing off my sentence
"Yeah that's right." I said as the school bell went.
"Aubrey come on!" Liyra said
"Ok, I love you mummy." Aubrey said
"I love you too, I love you both so much!" I said pulling them into a big hug.
As I let them go, they ran off through the entrance, hand in hand and plaits swinging from side to side.
I really hope they will be OK? Aubrey is a sensitive soul and Liyra is at heart too..
I got back into my car and drove home with thoughts of how their day will be. As I arrived home I saw a car pulled up outside my next door neighbours house that wasn't their car. Maybe there is someone visiting?
I quickly dismissed it from my mind and got out of my car, unlocked the front door and went in. I took my shoes off and put the kettle on. As I sat down with my tea there was a knock at the door. I wasn't expecting anyone?
As I got up and went to the door, I saw a head of hair. Hair I recognized. Big and fluffy.
No..
I unlocked the door to see him standing there.. the man that broke my heart time and time again.
Perri Luc Kiely.
I just stood there shocked, speechless. But inside, I had a LOT to say.
"Hello Skye.." He said with a timid smile
I didn't say anything.. I didn't know what to say
"Can I come in?" He asked
"Yeah.. um sure.." I said allowing him to enter
I looked at him as he took his jacket off. As his eyes met mine I looked away pretending not to have looked at him.
I walked into the kitchen and leaned on the counter.
