A/N: Hey everyone! It's me again, here's another installation of Swing Sets. Just so you know I might take a break from fan fiction in September. I'm entering high school, and it might be easier for me to not have to write two fan fictions and my own stories plus all the school work. So if you will excuse my absence, I don't know how long it will last, but during the school year fan fiction will be on the back burner. Anyway, rate and review, I really appreciate it and I answer each and every review.
Chapter 1: Scarlet
BPOV
I swung back and forth on the rubber swing. The surrounding wood chips fluttered away, just like the butterflies my class had just released. A soft, spring breeze blew through my hair. The park was peaceful and desolate, just how I liked it, my mind was free to wander free, trying figure out what to do next. I was happy, but I knew I wanted something, something I just didn't know. During these times it was just me, no one else, I lived for these moments, when I could just think. The magical silence was broken by a wailing cry. I turned my head to find a small girl the source of the upset. Jumping off my swing I walked towards the poor child.
"Sweetie, why are you crying?" I inquire the girl with flaming red hair and emerald eyes. I kneel on the grass reaching for tissues in my bag, I handed one to the angelic child. She blew into it and held out her small hand. I dispensed another one.
"Mommy and Daddy are fighting again." She whispered in between sobs. I remember myself at that age. I was going through the same things; it was right before my parents' divorce. She must have lived close by seeing as there were no cars in the parking lot. I put my gaze on the girl again, with the tears gone I recognized her. She attended the day care center I worked at. I didn't have her in my class, my duties always changed, but I always saw her on the playground.
"Scarlet!" A man's voice yelled, she looked up, it was obviously her father, I recognized him too.
"Is your name Scarlet?" I smile at the beauty of a child, she nodded. I grabbed her hand and walked to her father. He smiled and took her into a hug as I explained the situation to him.
"Thanks, it's been hard on her. My wife and I are getting a divorce." He grins at me and walks away.
"Wait," I called to the two, they turn "Does Scarlet attend Little Angels?" I finish my inquiry.
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"That's where I work." I run my hand through my hair, on closer inspection this dad was quite attractive.
"Well maybe we will see you around." With that they left. I trudged to my car and left the park.
A/N: How was it? It was pretty short, but originally (how it appears in my notebook) it had a lot of fat that needed to be trimmed(as my English teacher would say last year). So pretty please review, it will make the wait shorter. Since I have the next chapter all ready written out, I will just have to write out the chapter after that, so expect another update in a week or so. Rate and review, I really appreciate it.
