So, I had typed up all this chapter on the laptop I keep at my nana's house. So... I emailed some homework I had done to my phone but my mum phoned me so I had do go back home. Basically, I had forgotten to email this chapter across. Then I walked back up the giant hill to my nana's house just to email it across. Aarggg!!!! (Stupid me).
Sorry this took so long and I didnt update any other fics, I have been really busy but I'm not going to bore you with the excuses. But its here now so hurray!!
I have decided to change the title of this story because it would fit more with what I am writing
This starts on Saturday beacuse I decided skip Tuesday - Friday of the week. Please read and review as I would like to know what you think. Constructive criticism. Lekyla xx
Chapter 3
Weekend With Mum
Connie woke up to a bang and raced downstairs, where she saw Rita helping Grace up off the floor. She quickly ran over and helped.
"Are you okay Gracie?" asked Connie.
"Y... y... yes," Grace stammered.
Once Grace was back on the chair, Connie sat with her.
The day went on rather quickly and it was soon bedtime for Grace.
"Come on Grace, time to go to bed yeah," Smiled Rita.
Grace nodded her head gently.
Rita carefully helped Grace stand and took her to bed, where she instantly went to sleep.
Sunday morning
Connie woke up as the birds flew by and called. She rose up from the bed and then climbed out, her bare feet touching the cold floor. Walking to the window she realised Rita was still asleep and peeked slightly through the curtains.
Outside Connie saw the sun placed firmly high in the sky and small white fluffy clouds dotted around. Connie then casted her eyes over to a tall tree and saw Robin birds sitting on a branch, silently.
She soon stepped back from the window and fixed the curtains back to how they were. Then, walking across the room, she entered the bathroom.
Connie turned in the taps on and water poured into the sink, filling it half way. Then she cupped some water in her hands and splashed it onto her bareface.
Once Connie had finished in the bathroom she got dressed in jeans and a jumper. Then, descending down the stairs to the kitchen. She reached for the bread and placed 2 slices into the toaster slots.
When it popped up she took the toast out and buttered the slices after putting them on a plate.
Connie, then, made her way to the living room and sat down on the long sofa. She started eating the toast after turning on the telly and putting on BBC 1.
It wasnt very interesting and Connie wasn't even watching the telly, instead she was wrapped in deep thought.
Time quickly passed and Rita was standing in the doorway of the room - Connie still hadn't noticed this.
"Connie?" Rita quietly said.
Rita walked into the room and sat next to Connie on the sofa.
"What..." Connie tailed as she muttered something else.
"You okay? You seemed a bit... out of it," She asked, whispering the last bit.
"Im fine, just... thinking. That's all." Connie stated quietly.
"Is Grace up yet, Reets?"
"Not that I've heard, I'll go check on her now if you'd like?" Rita questioned.
"Its okay, you don't have to."
Rita and Connie talked a little more before Grace uneasily came down the stairs. When she walked through the doorway her mother just looked blankly at her.
"What didn't you call for me? What if you had hurt yourself?" Connie questioned quietly.
Grace just walked upto her mother and sat beside her. Slowly, the young girl threw her arms around Connie. This was the easy way if saying 'Sorry' without having to talk to anybody.
Connie hugged her back and they sat there embraced in each others arms. Rita had left the room a long time ago and was now back upstairs, sleeping quietly.
The day carried on and Connie and Grace had played many many games.
The first game they played was cluedo. Grace, surprisingly, had won that even though that was her first time playing it.
The second game they played was Lego Indiana Jones on the Xbox 360. They had completed 100 percent of the Raiders of The Lost Ark.
The third game they played was outside. Luckily the rain had stopped and it was beginning to dry up.
That night
Rain poured down the fragile window glass and thunder and lightning sored through the sky. The sky which was illuminated by the streaks of lightning bolts flying through the air filled with car fumes.
The usual dark night sky had been replaced with bright streaks of lightning and loud continuous claps of unbardebale thunder. The thunder woke sleeping people up and kept others awake.
In a large house Connie was tossing and turning in her bed. She was hopelessly trying to send herself asleep but the storm outside was preventing her.
It was not that Connie didn't like storms - not that she saw them as fun. It was the noise and bolts of lighting. That was what she didn't like.
Throughout the night the sky was decorated with lighting bolts and claps of ferocious thunder.
Rain proceeded to pour down windows and roofs. Soaking the ground and making large puddles of water on the pavement and road simultaneously.
Sorry this took so long and I didnt update any other fics, I have been really busy but I'm not going ti bore you with the excuses.
Thank you for reading guys, I hope you liked it. Please leave a review if you wish. I hope you liked the storm part at the end. Once again thanks for reading. L xoxo
