Blair 

I take Kade out of Will's arms and leave the room. I go and get my skate bored and put Kade in his pram and leave the house to go for a ride while pushing Kade. I get down the road before pulling out my phone to see where the park was to take Kade there so he could play for a little bit. When I we reached the park, I found a bench and parked the pram there. I pick Kade up and go over to the swing and push him; his big blue eyes look so happy and innocent, he has a massive smile on his face. When he had, had enough on the swing we went over to the slide, I went down on it with him in my arms the first time then I let him go down by himself with me holding him upright. After a few goes on the swing and slide I walked over and got a small mat from under the pram and set it on the ground with a few toys so Kade could play. I set him on his mat to play with the toys so I took this as a chance to take some photos of him as I was doing that, I get a message from Mason,

Mason: I see u with my son I want to see him

I don't reply. All I do is rush put Kade in his pram and chuck all of the toys and mat into the bottom of the pram, get my skateboard and throw that in the bottom of the pram as well and start running. Good thing I'm a long-distance runner I thought to myself. My nerves were growing by the minute. Mason could be following me for all I know and I don't want to have to deal with Kate, Cameron and they boys, not after what Mason sent me.

When I get to the front porch I stop and reach to get Kade out and go inside. Lucas must have seen how scared and nerves I was because he asked,

"What's wrong Blair?" I unlock my phone and open my messages and throw my phone towards Lucas, good thing he's good at catching and caught my phone. He reads the message from Mason and came and gave me a hug as Kate walked into the room.

"Blair your here now let's talk shall we" she ordered

"Mum not right now" Lucas warned his mum. His hand still on my lower back.

"Why?" Kate asked, Lucas than looked at me to see if he could show her and I shook my head to say no.

"Because it's just not the time" Lucas said to his mum

"Fine but we will be talking about this later" Kate told both of us waving her finger around.

I took Kade up to our room so I could put him to bed. When I open the door, William is sitting on my bed waiting for me.

"Hey, can we talk?" he asks me

"Yeah we can after I put Kade to bed" I tell him. After I put Kade to bed I took the baby monitor with me as William and I walk outside. We went and sat there in silence for about 3 minutes when William broke the silence,

"How come you never speak about your family?" he asks but I just sit there staring at the world in front of me in silence, I didn't know how to respond. I didn't want to respond. It had only been a few days since I got here, I didn't want to talk about my family, well not just yet anyway. It was too soon.

"Um.... I don't know I guess it's just hard to talk about them" I say to him as the thoughts of what happened that night enter my mind.

*Flashback*

I was laying on the couch when dad walked into the living room to give me a hot cup of black tea with honey to drink and told me that him and mum were going to go pick up Harriet from school and that they would be about 30 minutes. But they never came home instead they were in a car crash that killed them. I was watching SpongeBob SquarePants when I turned the TV onto the news when I saw all that. Next thing I know there's a knock on the door. I go and open the door to Kate and a child services person.

At the thought of all of this I didn't realise I was crying until I felt William wipe his thumb against my check to remove the tears and then he put an arm around me and held me close and whispers in my ear,

"I'm sorry for bringing it up, I didn't mean to make you cry"

"It's okay it wasn't you it was the thought of my family" I tell him.

We then sit outside in silence for about half anhour before Kate, Cameron, Lucas and Levi come out to see what is happening.Kate than sees my tear stained face so she asks what was wrong when Williamshook his head to say don't ask but she asks one more time so I had to answer,

"It's nothing really" I tell her butshe doesn't answer so Levi asks,

"Is it about your family?" and at thatquestion I end up crying again. I hate crying in front of people it's reallyembarrassing to watch people see me cry.

"I'm sorry for asking" Levi says tome.

"I-it's o-okay" I managed to get outbetween sobs.
