Aiden Ruby Henceforth quickly walks toward the bus stop, the 2 huge plastic bag full of groceries is giving strain in her shoulders. Its a whole week worth of foods and groceries...

A relief as the bus has arrive, she needs to double time. Her shift to work is at 5:00 pm and its already quarter to 4 pm, she takes the vacant seat watching the tress along the roads. It was a 3 seater bench seat, she was on the window, hopefully she can reach home by 4:30.

Nothings special on her house, that she's to excited to come home. Lot of things comes first, she need to do a book review, the submission was tomorrow. She has no time to mingle, and be Dora the explorer, her shifts ends at 9. By then she need to review for her biology class, pop up exams are literally popping and she needs to comprise in her subjects.

"Is this vacant?". She was startled when a woman probably at the age of 30 ask. She's with a little girl...

"Oh, yes please take a seat".

"Thank you". She smiled at Aiden occupied the seat, the little girl was in the middle sitting right next to Aiden whom has lost in her thoughts.

"I like your hair". A gentle touch of Aiden's hair that brings back her wandering thoughts.

It was a blonde little girl, with blue eyes that is full of wonders and innocence.

"Ey, you like it?, you can touch it".
She smile, bends her head forward and letting the girl touch her hair.

"Mom, I like this hair color, can you do the same for me".

"Sure". She laugh a bit.

"Sorry, she a bit naughty". She look at Aiden and gently swipe the head of her daughter.

"Its okay, she reminds me of my younger years". She tried to fake her smile as she remember something

"Come on lay on my lap baby, so you can sleep. You haven't sleep the whole afternoon this time".

Aiden takes a look as the cute little girl takes a nap on her mothers lap, and was gently rubbing her head.

She felt jealous, and all she can know is that tears start to drip down to her noise. She immediately wipe it with her bare hands and returns back watching the trees, and houses in the street, and all she can felt now is sadness... and loneliness.

She was a fighter and her brave heart is what makes her alive. It was long time ago that, but she still miss her mom so much.

Her tears starts dripping, that she even hardly notice. Its a pain to think how things change... How things can be destroyed easily...the world is unfair... It is unfair. For her, she wanted some change, a life were she no longer needs to fake her smiles.

She bend her head down, to cover her tears with her hair. Take a deep breath...

Everything's okay, everything's okay it will be.

As she stares in the trees but her thoughts had wandered in a place were she is unchained and happy.
