We arrived at the school around 15 minutes later and pulled up outside the secutarys office as that is where I knew oscar would be.

"Are you coming in?" I asked joey, him turning to look at me,

"Yep, i want to see where you went to school" He replied confusing me at how he knew I used to go to this school,

"How do you know I went to this school?" I questioned now completely baffled,

"Well let's just say, actually to make it easier it said it on the papers you gave me" he told me, me now feeling really stupid,

"Right, come on then, make sure the little monsters ok" I said, climbing out of the car, waiting for him,

As we got into the school I saw oscar immediately him running over jumping on me and crying into my shoulder, I was really worried now, he never cried like this. From over my shoulder I saw joey giving me a reassuring look as I whispered soothing words into oscars ears.

"Could you do me a favour joey?" I asked, peering over my shoulder,

"Yer course, what can I do for you?" He replied, my eyes now threatening to let tears fall as I heard Oscars cries get painfuller.

"Can you sign him out and tell them he won't be in for the rest of the week, even if he does get better please?" I said, pointing to the secutarys desk,

"Ok, I'll go and do it now," he said looking into my eyes as an astray tear fell, he face falling softer,

"Babe don't cry, he'll be fine" he said gathering me into his arms after signing oscar out,

"lozza, can we go and see mummy this afternoon?" Oscar asked me sniveling and breathing heavily,

"Baby, your ill" I said but as oscar looked at me and gave me the innocentist look ever I couldn't say no so I nodded my head, so he gave me a small smile and burried his head into my shoulder,

"Oh thank god your here lauren" abi's out of breath voice proclaimed as she ran through the corridors, "I was just about to ring you, I needed too get back to class, I'm not supposed to be here now" she explained, me now feeling bad for not being quicker,

"It's fine I'm here now Abi and before you ask, this is joey" I said pionting to joey, "He's my new boss" I said before she could get a word in,

"Oh he joey I'm abi, laurens sister" She told joey a she got ready for going back to class,

"Abi, sis dont bother going back I'm signing you out and your coming with us, were going to visit mum" I explained, her nodding her head,

"Ok, i'll go and get mine and oscars stuff and tell my teacher," She said me nodding my head at her, as she walked away through the double doors and into the never ending corridors,

"Are you ok?" Joey questioned worriedly, me looking up at him,

"Yer, I'm fine, just I hate seeing him like this, it just reminds me of horrible things and any way where are you going now?" I asked, needing to know my first destination,

"Well, I've got the whole afternoon off so I was wondering if I could come and meet your mum?" He asked, looking down and playing with his hands,

"Well if you want to, oh I just remembered I need to tell Abi to go and get alice, I'm meant to be here for her later for uncle derick" I thought out Loud,

As if it was dajarvoo abi walked through the doors with alice linked to her side,

"Joey what are you doing here?" Alice questioned him, me looking between them to see what was going on but I could seriously feel the tension,

"Ok, I'm confused how do you too know each other?" I questioned looking between them once again,

"Joeys my brother lo," Alice said looking between us now, mimicing my actions,

"So that means that you are my cousin" I said looking at joey,

"Yep it does, see I knew I recognised your face from some where" he said looking at me intently,

"Ok, so now we all know each other can we get going please, oh al we're going to see mum, and then I'm taking oscar to the doctors are you coming with us?" I asked looking at her and then Abi,

"If thats ok with you lo" she said, looking at me with kind eyes,

"Yer, of course it is, It was oscars idea anyway and I think he would like you there, and so would I, you know, extra support" I explained looking at her and then joey seeing him nod his head as she asked him if he was coming,

"Oh and joey, don't expect a hot chocolate and a buiscuit, my mums dead, she died a few weeks ago, were going to the grave yards that's why I needed the job so much because i have to look after these too so come on let's get out of here, we will be stuck in school rush traffic other wise" I told joey, him embracing me again as i started to cry slightly,

As I put oscar in the car he awoke as I put him down and put his Hand to his mouth, so I let him go and he rushed out of the car and puked on the pavement, me picking him up when he was done and putting him back in his seat and giving him a bag. I saw abi and alice giggling and whispering but I thought nothing of it, got into the front seat and started to drive to the cemetry.
