Chapter Six ~ The Weekend (Part 1)

It's been two weeks since Leo asked me out, it was phenomenal. I had no other words to describe it but perfect. He was the most perfect boy in the world, the boy of everyone's dreams. He was sweet and just perfect. We spent two full days together, we went shopping and swimming, even when we weren't out we still had fun, we cuddled with our oversized blanket and watched Netflix all day. Things were just perfect.

I didn't see or hear much of him after that, as he was so busy doing tours and visiting radio stations, he also had his first track in the charts! I was so proud of him, we had a three hour long phone conversation after the charts just so I could explain how proud I was of him, because I was, I really was. He just made my life complete. After the phone call, we exchanged some texts but Leo was just to busy. In the end, we arranged to spend the whole weekend with each other, of course Charlie was invited as well. I'd never spent time with Charlie before, not since he recognised me at the signing. We had talked though, we text each other and Skype, just to keep in touch.

Leo wanted to visit me so I wouldn't have to travel, so I sorted it with my mum and stepdad who said that they were more than happy to have the boys stay with us. I have to admit, I was pretty excited about that. So the date was arranged, after the boys had finished their meeting with Blair they would come down to me. It would take them a couple of hours though but I was prepared to wait. Anything for Leo.

It was the morning of the boys visit. I woke up at 6am just so I was ready to see them. I walked groggily over to the window to check the weather and just to my luck it was raining, which minimised our chances of going out. The ground was rather damp from what I could tell, and the sky was dark and the clouds hung low. Hopefully, the weather would cheer up by the end of the day. I grabbed my dressing gown and slippers and stepped out onto the landing, carefully shutting the door behind me, making sure I didn't wake anyone. I creeped along the landing, cautious of any cars or dinosaurs that lay in the way. I walked gently down the stairs, jumping lightly over the last step to make sure it didn't creak. I opened the living room door to check no one was in there and continued on towards the kitchen. As I entered the kitchen I noticed a note on the fridge. I cautiously walked towards it, just to make sure it wasn't a bomb waiting to explode. After realising that was a stupid thought I reached over grabbed the note and started to read, it read:

Bethany,

I've had to go into work urgently, some big accident at the hospital and Gary is at work as well. I'm sorry about having to leave you with your brother and sister. Your aunt will pick them up at 10, make sure they are ready. She won't want to wait. I've left some money on the side if you need it, make sure there is food for the boys, they'll need it.

Love you, Mum x

I sighed and left the note on the table. I rummaged through the cupboards for breakfast for Lilly and Sam. Eventually, I found some coco pops, hiding behind behind the 10 jars of Nutella I brought for Charlie and Leondre, knowing it's their favourite. I soon realised there was a tonne of cleaning and washing to be done, so I started to load the washing machine when I heard tiny patters of feet coming from the landing then the noises continuing down the stairs, with the hop at the end, just as I had done ten minutes ago. Then little Sam came bursting into the kitchen, yelling ecstatically with his adorable two year old lisp:

"G'morning B"

He's always called me B, ever since he started talking, Beth was too much for him to handle, so he simplified it.

"Good morning Sam, shh, keep your voice down or you'll wake Lill-" I said before hearing a distant bedroom door slam and the sound of feet pounding along the landing and down the stairs into the kitchen.

"Where's Mum?" Lilly questioned, rubbing her eyes intensely as she entered the kitchen.

"Are you okay?" I asked concerned.
