My Regrets: Part 1

Jade was doodling on a rectangle of yellow paper when she heard the thump outside.

She had been babysitting for the Branson's, while they were out celebrating the birth, in return for a little extra pocket money. To be honest she didn't even really need to be there. Little Leanne had fallen asleep the moment the Branson's left and it had stayed that way.

Her heart sped up a little when she heard it, not much though. She wasn't it the slightest frightened and on any other day she wouldn't have even cared, but she was bored, so her curiosity got the better of her.

Arrivals

"...Everything's......so......okay."

"...Baby....out....odd."

"...Nope....smooth....You're lucky Mrs. Branson."

"Huh?" Susanna hadn't been listening much. Only catching the odd word. There were only two things she was focusing on, the pain and her husband, but mostly the pain.

A wish of death

It was time to move on.

Dan knew this would happen, and he had saved Oliver the liberty of "throwing" him out the house. However, he wasn't ready to go home yet. He couldn't face Susanna's devastated expression again.

So he knew where he was going. Davina. Maybe, just maybe she'd let him stay there for a few days.
