7.30 am. Crap. If I had any shot at getting Leila and Aurora to school on time we would have to leave in 10 minutes the latest. As I madly packed their lunch boxes and bags. Of course Aurora decides it's the perfect time to ask;

"Mommy Could you please tie my shoes up"

"Why don't you ask Daddy?" I said as I tried to keep going with all the things on my list.

"He's in the bathroom" Aurora said as she jumped up onto the chair.

"I'll do it" Leila said as she hopped up and walked over to her.

"Thank you sweetie." Though she was only 10, Leila has always been really mature for her age. Ok I just have to put their books in their bags, make them clean their teeth and do their hair. I madly walked over to Leila who was sitting on the chair patiently waiting.

"Sorry sweetie" I said as I put her long brown hair up into a pony tail.

"Can you go clean your teeth for me while I do your sisters hair?" I said as I brushed Auroras hair. She nodded and walked into the bathroom as Ezra walked out. It was great Ezra working as a high school teacher again. The elementary school, Middle school and High school were all next to each other. I quickly put Auroras hair in 2 pigtails with 2 bows. I put their bags on their back, knelt and hugged them both.

"Bye sweet heart have a good day." I said to them as I stood back up and kissed Ezra quickly.

"Love you mommy!" Aurora said as she left. She was the sweetest thing.

"Bye" I said as they shut the door and walked out. Having a 4 and 10-year-old was hard work. I quickly had a shower and got changed. I walked out of the apartment and locked the door.

"Aria" I heard Hana say as I walked into the cafe for our weekly morning tea. It was great seeing Hana every week and sometimes Emily and Spencer but it was hard to see them after they moved out of Rosewood.

"Hey, how are you?" I said as I sat down and smiled.

"Good, I brought Auroras birthday present the other day well Alison picked it out." Hana replied. It was great that Alison and Aurora were friends it makes it easier for me and Hana to have an excuse to see each other more often. I heard a beep on my phone and saw it was a text for Ezra.

Auroras sick and I can't take her in my lunch

break because im tutoring can you come get

her?

"Oh gosh" I said as I sighed packed away my handbag and stood up.

"Whats wrong?" Hana said as she swallowed her coffee quickly.

"Auroras sick. Have to go get her, love you talk soon play date maybe this weekend?" I said as I quickly walked out. I drove to the school and saw Aurora asleep on a bed.

"Here to pick up Aurora?" The school nurse said as she gave me a form to sign.

"Yes. Whats wrong?" I said as I signed my name.

"She said she was really tired but she has a temperature." She said as she took the book back from me. I walked over to her and gently woke her up.

"Hey sweetie, how you feeling?" I said as she blinked her eyes. She nodded and sat up. I helped tie her shoes and grabbed her backpack for her.

"Thank you" I said as we left. As we walked to the car to the wind blew and Auroras skirt blew up and I saw a massive bruise on the back of her thigh.

"Aurora, what happened to your thigh?!" I asked as hurried ahead to look at it.

"I fell over a week ago" She said as she kept walking. I didn't question it but I was a bit worried. She must have fallen really hard. It's not like her not to tell us these sorts of things. When Aurora got home she went straight into her and fell asleep. This wasn't like her at all. After fixing one of Leila's pants that needed sowing. Ezra and Leila came home.

"Hey gorgeous girl, how about you go get changed and I can help you with your homework?" I said as I walked over and hugged her. I kissed Ezra and smiled.

"I'm worried about Aurora. Shes not herself and I saw big bruise on her thigh. Do you think somethings happening at school?" I said as I hugged him. He shook his head and kissed me again. Leila came out with big pile of books.

"They gave me 8th grade math to do" She said as she put a big pile of books on the table. Leila has always been very bright but I'm starting to worry about how much work she's getting. Shes getting work that is years beyond her years.

"Okay so what is 3x to the power of 2 if 3 equals 6? You sure this isn't to hard for you?" I said as I read her text-book.

"No and 9x is the answer I think" She said quickly scribbling in her book.

"Very good, Keep going im just going to check on your sister." I said as I hopped up. I walked into her room to see her fast asleep still. Something didn't feel right. I just had a gut feeling something wasn't right.
