Chapter 2
Buffy sat in the car, with her hands clutching the steering wheel with a death grip as she looked in the rear view mirror, watching the person pump gas into the car, not even realising that she was holding her breath she let it out shakily and turned to look out the window, and watched as her daughter ran out of the gas station, clutching a huge cookie to her chest like she was holding on for dear life.
Putting on a fake smile, she leaned over the seat and opened the door for Dawn, who bounced into the passenger seat and unwrapped her cookie with care, staring as she did it.
"Why aren't our cookies this big?" she asked her mother and took a bite, rolling her eyes in ecstasy at the taste.
"I don't know babe, next time we make cookies, I'm make sure to make them that big" Dawn nodded her head, and stared out the window.
A knock at the window caused Buffy to jump in her seat, but she quickly got a hold of herself and rolled down the tinted window and smiled at the boy.
"How much?" she asked and the boy told her. Handing him a 20, she then rolled up her window and pulled out of the gas station.
"Mommy, where are we going?" Dawn asked after she took another bite of her cookie.
"No where special babe, mommy just needs a break" Buffy told her as she switched lanes.
Happy with what her mom told her, she reached between her legs and picked up her backpack, pulling out a colouring book.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(*)(*)(*)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~
"Mommy, I'm hungry." Dawn whined as they were driving through a small town, she clutched her hands together and layed them on her lap, and Buffy laughed when she heard a grumbling sound come from her daughter's stomach.
Well we have been driving for 9 hours straight, and with only 3 pit stops, Buffy thought to herself and without another word she turned into the parking lot of a small café.
"Alright babe, lets go get something to eat." She said and unbuckled her set belt and put the car into park, pulling the keys out of the ignition.
They got out of the car and walked into the café hand in hand, Dawn skipping a little ahead, pulling on her mother hand when she was going to fast.
The café was small and had a few booths and a counter with a few stools in front of it, reminding Buffy of someone's home, and it really did have a homely feel to it, she thought as they seated themselves on the first booth by the door.
Dawn sat by the window and placed the colouring book on the table, opening it to the 4th page and she continued to colour the picture of Barbie.
"You know what mommy, you should be a Barbie, cause you look just like one." Dawn mumbled without looking up, so she never saw the look of horror on her mothers face at what her daughter had said.
"Dawnie, you seriously think that I look like a Barbie?" her mother asked her, bringing her elbows up onto the table and resting her chin on her palms.
"Yup, but do does aunty Cathrine, but I don't like her, cause she had big boobies, and when she hugged me, I almost suf-ercated." Dawn stumbled with the word, but decided she didn't care, and went back to colouring Barbie's hair blue.
"Babe it's suffocated, and who is Aunty Cathrine." Buffy realized just how much she didn't want to hear the answer to that question, but her daughter told her anyways.
"She's daddies friend, they're always kissing and stuff, then daddy locked me out of the room and told me that him and Auntie Cathrine had to talk, then there was banging against the wall, so I thought they were getting in a fight." Dawn told Buffy, and looked up from her colouring book when the waitress came with the menus, placing them in front of Buffy and Dawn, "I don't need one of these, I just want a blueberry" Dawn told the waitress, and she and Buffy started laughing.
"Darling, you do know that blueberries are really small right?" the waitress said, smiling.
"So, then make a really big one, or I'll have a blueberry burger, with strawberry ice-cream" Dawn said, and pushed the menu back to the lady.
"Is the ice cream separate, or in the burger?" she asked, and Dawn frowned, her nose scrunching when she was deep in thought.
"I want it inside the hamburger." Dawn nodded her head, and went back to colouring Barbie.
"All right Dawnie, how bout this, you have a cheeseburger, some French fries, and a strawberry milkshake, ok" Dawn looked at her mother strangely, but nodded her head again.
"K good, now that we have that covered I'll have a BLT and a diet coke" Buffy said and handed the menus back to the waitress.
"Sounds good to me, your food will be with you in 10 minutes or so" with that the waitress turned around and walked away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(*)(*)(*)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~
Buffy sat in the booth alone, staring at the window, waiting patiently for Dawn to come back from the bathroom, when she was surprised by the ringing of her cell phone.
Picking it up, she answered it, "Hello?" and she swore her heart stopped when she heard what the person said.
"Elizabeth, where are you and Dawn, I come home from work expecting dinner made, my wife waiting for me in the living room and my daughter rushing into my arms, but for some very odd reason, there was a lack of all that, including three suit cases and half of your wardrobe as well as Dawn's." Buffy shuddered but continued to listen. "Buffy if you don't come home, and I have to come looking for you, I will not be happy, and it isn't good when I'm not happy, because this time, I will kill you. You belong to me, and when something belongs to me, I expect them to be with me.
"Where are you Buffy?" finally getting her composure back, she quickly hung up the phone, and pulled out $30, paying the bill and giving Jennifer, their waitress a tip.
"Shit, shit, shit" when Dawn came out of the restroom, she grabbed her hand, pulling her out of the café and across the street to their car. Dropping her cell phone behind the rear wheels of the car.
As they drove away, Buffy listened to the satisfying crunch of a broken phone.
