Please Don't Leave

Chapter 3.

"i don't think there's an easy way to tell this to a 5 years old, but, when two people love each other, they get married, and start a family, but sometimes, a daddy or mummy might start to love somebody else, and then mummy and daddy will *wipes away tears* live in different houses, and they wont love each other anymore"

i think i get what she means is that her and daddy don't love each other anymore, so one of them wont be living with us anymore...

"i think i understand, so does that mean you or daddy are moving away from home?" i questioned her slowly, still trying to take everything in. Without realising i was crying, a tear went down my face, and mummy wiped it away with her thumb, cupping my face in her hand.

"we're home!" mummy loudly said, i think that's what grown ups call changing the...s...sub.... Something, i wiped my face with my hands and looked at her, she smiled at me and got out of the car. I got out of the car too and ran up to the front door with mt ladybug backpack hanging from my shoulders,

"Daddy? Are you in the kitchen?"
