Chapter 6 (This will be a short chapter)
Previously - Lauren was at the councellors
As Mum and I pulled up outside the house Abi was just walking up the street with Jay. Mum called her over and asked her to come inside for a few minutes as she wanted to talk to us both.
As we all entered the house and sat in the living room everyone was quiet.
Mum broke the silence.
"Right, well the thing is that I have been offered a place on a course to promote the salon and I have to leave for a few months in order to complete it"
"When do you leave?" Abi asked.
"Umm, today"
"Today" I said shocked.
"Yeah, I know that it is short notice but I talked to the course providers and they said its okay if you two and Oscar come with me"
"You want us leave everything here and just leave? What about Dad? Jay? My friends?"
"It's your choice girls i'm not going to force you because you can always come and visit, but I would rather you come with me"
"I'm not going i'll stay with Gran" Abi repled firmly
"I'll go with you" I said
"Okay well i'm going to go pack you've got and hour to say goodbye to everyone"
"Im not saying good bye it will be too hard"
"Okay"
"You can't just leave Lauren not after yesterday"
"Abi I have to okay not just for me"
"Oh My God are you?"
"Yeah I am okay but I don't want anyone to know especially Joey"
"Is he the dad"
"Yeah"
"Lauren you shoud tell him"
"No Ab, and dont you tell him either"
"Okay if your sure"
"Yeah I better go and pack"
After mum and I had packed we all went to the car and each of us said a teary goodbye.
"Look after yourself and baby okay" Abi said to me.
"Yeah I will, and you make sure that we can come back to a house and not a pile of ash, okay, and look after yourself yeah"
Abi and I then hugged each other and I entered the car. Waving goodbye as Mum, Oscar and I left Walford.
I turned looking out of the back window hand on my belly knowing I was doing the right thing.
