"Wake up" someone shock my shoulder; I just pulled the blanket over me head and tried to ignore whoever it was. "Jamie, im back" I sat up and saw Kevin smiling at me, I looked at the clock and then slapped him. I lay back down and pulled the blanket back over me.

"What the heck was that for?" he pulled the blanket off of me and I buried my face into my pillow so he wouldn't see the tears that threatened to fall. "Jamie, what's wrong" he tried to get me to look at him. "Go away" I pushed him off the bed and mentally hit myself.

The emotion in my voice had betrayed me. He pulled at my pillow and I hugged it like it was my life line, not wanting him to see me. He eventually sighed and laid down next to me.

"Why did you lie?"

I bit my lip and picked my head up so I could look at him from the corner of my eye. He sighed again and rolled over so he could face me. He wasn't smiling anymore and I could see the red mark on his face, where I had slapped him.

"I had something to do, sorry I lied."

That was the end of our conversation because he got out of bed and left the room. I sat up and started to cry, worried I would wake Alana and Darren I went in to the bathroom and carefully closed the door before falling to the floor, pulling my legs to my chest and hiding my face in my arms.

There was a small knock on the door before Alana and Darren looked into the room. Both looked like they were about to cry as well.

"Mommy, why did daddy leave again?" Darren was hugging his blanket and holding Alana's hand, who was hugging her baby doll.

I whipped the tears from my face and stood up. "Don't worry, he will be back soon" I lied and led them back into the bedroom. I sat down and allowed them both to climb into my lap, while I hummed a song.

"Why did daddy leave though?" Alana looked up at me as I stroked Darren's hair.

"He just wanted some air; he will be back soon, after we get breakfast." I had said the magic word; they both got down and went to their backpacks to search for cloths. I smiled and went to my own backpack too.

After changing and getting ready for the day I took Alana's left hand and Darren's right. "How about donuts?" they both excitedly agreed and we headed to the bakery across the street.

I ordered two dozen and then took the box upstairs; Kevin was in our room looking around.

"See, I told you." I went to set the box down while Alana and Darren went to hug Kevin. I ignore him and pulled my journal out of my bag along with a pen, before walking out in to the hallway and up the stairs to the roof.

I definitely needed to be alone for a while.
