Bye! xx

The days went by like a blur, and in no time it was Halloween. Not going to lie, I was looking forward to seeing January again. She just brought a beautiful vibe around her, her fascination of everything and her cute little smile.

I found the motivation to tidy the house up. I even gave my wardrobe a bit of a makeover from the baggy jumpers, though, I kept some of Chris'. I couldn't find myself to throw them out.

I was ready by now, I had stuck with wearing a black dress, loose not very revealing, with lace tights. I had Ariana cat ears, thick eyeliner and I drew some whiskers. For once, I looked pretty cute.
   I curled my hair, although it was trick or treating with January, a part of me wanted her to acknowledge how good I looked.

Pftt. She was a kid! What am I saying?!

The door bell rings and I run to open it. It's Sinead and JT, her boyfriend. JT wasn't only her boyfriend, but he was pretty protective over me, he would come and make lunch when I wasn't up for it and he'd remember my birthday, making sure I had a nice day.

"Hey, I never thought I'd see this place so clean! Damn!"
       Of course would notice. He would stay with Sinead to tidy the house up before.

"It's an improvement," he smiled. "I'm glad your getting back on your feet," he pulled me into a hug, he was like my older brother, because I was a bit younger than him.

"Sorry, not that I'm not thrilled to see you here, why are you here?" I said panicky. Toby and January was going to be here any minute!

"I have guests soon, I'm going trick or treating," I hiss.
"Aren't you a bit old, for trick or treating?" JT said not looking convinced. "I'd say you're getting rid of us,"

But the doorbell cuts him off before I could answer. I give him a 'I told you so' face before opening it.

"See! Vamos! Please! I gotta deal with my guests." I flap.

"Hey," Toby says enthusiasticly.
"Nice costume," he says before picking up January and holding her on his hip, like a woman. "Jan, how good does tía Laila look?!"
"You're a cat like me," she says whilst giggling and pointing at her dress.
"No cat fights okay ladies." Toby jokes, she nods, before running into the living room.

"Papa, look it's Silly Tía!" She says pointing at Sinead who is eating a banana.
"Hello princess! What are you doing here señorita?"

"We're going trick or treating! And we're taking Laila." She says as she sways her body.
"Tía!" Toby says sternly.
"Oh no January, call me Laila,"

"Okay!" She runs and hugs me.
"Shall we go now?" She says, I can tell she was excited from her eyes.

"Come on baby," I say grabbing her and putting her on my shoulders. She was surprisingly light for a 5 year old.
She played with my car ears.
"Laila?" January asked sweetly stroking my hair.
"Yes baby?"
"Do you know when mama will come back? What's heaven like? Can we go to meet her?"

"No princess." Toby interrupted sternly. His eyes like slits.
"Now don't talk about this." He said, speed walking.
"You told jan she's dead?!" I whispered harshly, catching up to him.

"Look laila, you don't have a kid, so you don't know what it's like. Thanks, but I don't need parenting tips."

The rest of the night, there was an awkward tension between me and Tobias, but January still kept me laughing and in stitches with her stupid questions.

Before we left, Tobias whispered to me.
"I'm not letting her back in. For Jans sake."

Surely she can't be that bad? I thought.?
