Jody went back upstairs to her room, she watched out the window as Tyler and Sasha disappeared down the road. She then started to tidy away the board game that was still laid out on her bed. She put the last pieces in the box and glanced over at her desk. It was then she noticed that her music box wasn't on her desk and neither was her lava lamp. They had been there before.
Kingsley! Kingsley! She called as she raced downstairs. She reached the bottom and saw Kingsley putting the lava lamp into a holdall.
Give me my stuff back Kingsley!
Kingsley ignored her and zipped up the holdall
Mum, tell him, he's taken my lava lamp and my music box
Oh stop being such a baby Jody, you don't need those things.
There my things and I want them back.
Tough Monkey. Im flogging them down the market. We need the money.
By we, you mean you
Kingsley laughed and disappeared out the front door
Mum, I don't understand, that's my stuff. Why did you let him take it.
We need the money. I lost my job at the supermarket
What?
Might of turned up late a few times. Hardly a crime but then they sacked me. Said I wasn't reliable enough
But you said your job was going well. You told social services you were getting a promotion
I know, gullible idiots. I said what I needed to, to get you back Jody
You can't lie to social services like that. They'll find out eventually.
Don't worry, I'll find a new job and it'll all be fine. In the meantime Kingsley is helping us out, flogging some stuff we don't need. Managed to sell that vase Grant bought me for £40, not bad eh
Jody went back to her room and sat on her bed. She wasn't sure what to think about all this. She had genuinely thought everything would be alright this time but she'd barely been home a week and already her dream was falling apart. She stared at her phone. She scrolled through her contacts and hovered over Mike's name, debating whether to call him. She decided against it, she had to give her mum a chance, perhaps her mum was right, perhaps everything would be alright, her mum would find another job and they wouldn't need Kingsleys help anymore.
