I stared at her for a few seconds and wiped the tears that ran down her cheeks. She smiled at me and I smiled back at her. 'Why are you crying?' I asked as I placed the strands of hair on her face, behind her ears. 'It doesn't matter. I just fell, that's all.' I could tell she was lying. Why was she trying to cover up what Kate did to her? 'Santa Clause doesn't give presents to sweet little girls that lie. Come-on sweetheart, you can tell me.' I smiled. She frowned at me then stared at the doll she had in her hand. She passed me the doll and as I grabbed it, the hand and head fell off. 'Did Kate do this?' She slowly nodded her head. Why would she do such a thing? The poor girl never gets any presents from my parents, this is her only toy and Kate had to break it? That's not fair, right? 'Katelynn! Go away!!' I turned around and saw Kate walking closer and closer to us, 'Are you telling lies about me to my mummy?' She snapped. She grabbed my hand and started pulling me closer to Luke. 'Mummy, please come.' Kate smiled. Why was she being nice to me? I thought she hated me?! I looked at Katelynn but she just smiled and told me to go with Kate. I started walking with Kate but I felt terrible so I went back to Katelynn. 'Mummy!' Kate shouted. 'I'll be right back!' I said. As I approached Katelynn, I knelt down next to her. 'Why did you call me mummy earlier?' I asked Katelynn. She smiled at me and replied, 'Because you are my mummy.' 'But Katelynn, I'm sorry but I'm Kate's mummy.' 'That's what everyone thinks.' 'What do you mean?' I raised my eyebrow at her. 'It doesn't matter. Goodbye mummy...' And with that she ran off. Why does she always leave me hanging? And what did she mean by that?!
