Thanks for the reviews :) :P
P.S Evie is about 3 and a half to 4 months pregnant.
Teddy
"Mum." Evie whined.
"What do you want?" Carla laughed
"Can I have some money?" Evie asked.
"Why?" Carla asked.
"I'm going shopping with Imogen, she just phoned me and I'm going over at one." Evie explained.
"Ok," Carla said, "But NO shoplifting, understand?"
"Yeah, I know." Evie moaned, getting a bit bored of the lecture whenever she went out.
Carla pulled her purse out of her bag and handed Evie some money, £50. That's one thing Evie really liked about her mum, she was never short of money. Evie swore she had spent more money since she'd lived with her mum than the whole of her life.
"Thanks." She smiled, grabbing it and going to her bedroom to get ready.
Evie wasn't actually going shopping with Imogen, she was going by herself. She need to buy a lot of baggy clothes, jumpers, hoodies, that kind of thing.
She wasn't totally sure how she would explain all the warm stuff in the middle of summer, but she would. Evie knew that she could, she knew that she was a good liar, she had always got away with lies. Everyone seemed to believe her, whatever she said, whatever she did, however far fetched they seemed (to Evie at least), everyone believed her.
"Bye." She yelled as she closed the door behind her. Evie walked out onto the warm cobbles. She was wearing her denim shorts and her baggiest T-shirt, she could just about get away with wearing it without her belly making an appearance. All her normal tops seemed to show off the little bump that her stomach had turned into, that would be getting bigger in the months coming. She practically never wore baggy stuff, she never had. She wore quite tight clothes, that made everything about her seem that bit older, maybe that was what had got her into this problem in the first place.
Maybe if Evie hadn't looked old enough to get into that concert, if she hadn't been allowed to have those drinks, maybe she would still be a normal teenager, with a normal life. She would probably still be in the care home, she probably wouldn't have ever left, but she would be happy, she wouldn't be haunted wherever she went.
While she was walking around the shopping centre she saw all the clothes that she would have bought before, she would even pick them up and look at the price tag, just wondering, hoping that she would be able to wear them and they would look the same as they used to. She knew they wouldn't though.
Evie couldn't help but notice all the baby shops, all the area's in shops with the baby toys and the baby clothes. She kept looking in the opposite direction. She couldn't help but notice all the other teenagers walking round with their mates without a care in the world, she couldn't help wishing she could be like them.
Evie was walking through the market on her way home when she walked past a baby stall. It sold clothes, bibs, blankets, everything. She saw these really cute little teddies for £2 that were really cute. She lingered a bit, just looking. She was about to leave when a lady, the owner of the stall, came up to her.
"Anything I can help you with?" She asked, looking straight at Evie.
"What? No," Evie said, "It's just my mums pregnant and I was wondering if I should get something, that babies due soon."
"Why not get a teddy, they're pretty popular, is it a boy or a girl?" She asked.
"Oh, dunno." Evie replied.
"Why don't you get a yellow one, that's quite a nuetral colour." The lady said.
"Yeah, I'll get a yellow one please." Evie said.
Evie paid for the teddy and was about to leave when the owner said something that stopped her dead in her tracks.
"You're gonna have to tell someone." She said.
"What do you mean?" Evie asked.
"I may be old but I'm not stupid." The lady laughed, "I see girls like you almost everyday, you all look sad, alone, when you're not. Trust me, tell someone, it'll help."
Evie nodded before speeding off. If a lady she didn't even know could tell, how was she supposed to hide it from her mum?
Plz review thx :) :P
