Today was the day... The day that Grace would be taken away to New York. Connie couldn't stand the thought of her baby being millions of miles away and hardly seeing her. She had to make the most of these final few hours with her. She decided that she would make Grace's favourite breakfast pancakes and nutella. Grace was so tired but was excited to be seeing a new part of the world. Connie wasn't too sure about her decision, she knew what Sam was like, he could get super angry, abuse her and treat her badly but she said nothing. She didn't want her past to be revealed. She ran her fingers over the scars on her arm, nobody should ever go through what she did. Grace had walked downstairs by now with a big smile on her face and Connie quickly rolled her sleeve down,
"Morning baby, i made your favourite!" said Connie!
"Yay, thanks mom!" replied Grace.
They both tucked into their pancakes when Connie got a text from Audrey. It said...
Hiya Connie, i just wanted to tell Grace that i'll miss her so much. Unfortunately i have an appointment so can't be there when she leaves but i hope she has a safe flight to America and has fun with Sam!
Connie quickly replied before finishing off her pancakes. She went upstairs and changed into a white lace skater dress and black heels, she did her make up as perfect as possible and curled her hair. She went downstairs to check on Grace who was sat happily listening to her music. Connie smiled and walked into the kitchen and checked her phone, *1 missed call ~ Zoe* She wasn't really interested in what she had to say but still listened to the message she had left,
Hi Connie, i just wondered if it's possible if you could come into work later today. We've got a lot of staff off ill and could really do with the extra pair of hands. Don't bother replying just turn up if possible. Thanks!
Connie didn't know whether to go into work or not so she decided to choose later. She went over to Grace and told her to go and get changed. She came down a white dress and black flats, just like her mom. She had light make up on and had put her hair into a messy bun. She was perfect, all Connie wanted was for her baby to stay home with her, she would be lost without her. Grace was ready to go, all Connie had left was pictures. It was nearly time for Grace to go so they went outside and put the cases in the car. Connie gave Grace the biggest hug ever and then they both got in the car. It took around an hour to get to the airport and Connie made sure Grace got through without any worries and then it was left in the hands of the airport staff. The tears were rolling down her face, there was no turning back now, her baby had gone, gone forever! She got back to the car and froze, she had nothing anymore, nobody even cared anymore.
