"Mom, we're leaving now" I said as I put Erika's diaper bag on my back.
"Ok, have fun" my mom said back
Anywhere was fun as long as it wasn't here.
"Don't worry mommy's getting us a place as soon as she can" I bent down as I told her.
She just smiled at me. I then gave her a toy and opened the door wide enough to get Erika's stroller through.
As we walked down the side walk to go to the Dot I noticed a boy about my age getting out of a hearse. Just then Erika threw her toy on the ground.
"Here cutie" he said
"Thank you for picking that up for me." I told him
"I'm Eli and it wasn't any trouble" he smirked
"I'm Clare and this is Erika" I smiled Erika waved
"She's cute how old is she?"
"A year"
"So do you go to Degrassi?" He smirked
"Yes I do actually" I smiled
"Well Morty my hearse is broken for a week mind if I walk with you?"
"No actually I could use the company"
"So what are you doing now?"
"Well Erika here wants to go to the D-o-t just don't say it"
"What the Dot?"
"You said it!"
"Dot, Dot, Dot.." Erika said
"Now she won't stop till we get there"
"We?"
"Erika and I"
"Mind if I join"
"No"
Eli and I then talked on the way there he told he had just moved there and his hearse had a tendency of breaking down once in a while. I didn't tell him Erika was mine because the subject never came up.
"We're here Erika"
I then unbuckled her from her coach.
"Mma mma" She yelled looking around
"Who is she calling?" Eli asked
"Emma, her main babysitter" I told him
"Errriiika" Emma called
Right then Erika tried to run to Emma since she's only been walking for 3 months.
"Is she always like that when you get here?"
"Running to Emma? Yes, but when I tell her I'm leaving she comes right back"
"So are you hungry?" Eli asked
"Yes very" I replied
We then ate food not even mentioning Erika or our home life just mentioning school and our parents. Mine were separated where as Eli's were still together. We talked about what we do for fun. We left once we were done eating. We did of course have school tomorrow.
"Mom we're back." I yelled once we got inside.
It was 6 when Erika and I had gotten home and no answer from my mom. I then put on the TV for Erika she sat and watched some child development show, then I looked for my mom she was asleep in her room I guess she decided to take sleeping pills since she works tomorrow and can't drink. I then bathed Erika and then she went back to watching TV as I cleaned the house. At 9 I took Erika to her nursery and rocked her to sleep she had my eyes, KC's nose, and hair color. When she was fully asleep I put her in her crib and fell asleep after all I did have to meet Eli at 7:30.
