I'll be there

Part 4

Break my heart

It was dark and cold, her feet crashed the fallen autumn leaves and she shivered. She was worried. She'd sensed a somewhat desperateness in Dalby's message. As he came into view her worry increased. He looked furious and Matilda couldn't help but start to shake with nerves.

When she reached him he looked down at her angrily

She tentatively reached out and put her hand on his arm

"What's wrong"?

"He thinks I'm on Drugs"! He yelled making Matilda jump.

Seeing her nervousness he calmed himself down

"I'm sorry"

She nodded "Who thinks you're on drugs?"

"Mr. Stuart "

"What!"

He saw me taking Insulin and assumed the worst"

He huffed and folded his arms

"Didn't you tell him"?

"He didn't give me a chance, he kicked me out before I could explain"

"I'm sure if you go back-"

"No " he interrupted

"Dalby"

"No, Better off without the old geezer.

"Now you don't mean that"

"Yes I do"

Matilda suppressed a laughed at his stubbornness.

"I hardly find it amusing"

"I didn't say anything "

"Well you were thinking it"

And his smart

" Well what are you going to do"? She asked lightly

"Leave"

Matilda gulped. Uh oh

"What do you mean leave"?

" I'm leaving the bay Maddy"

"But why"?

"It's obvious I have a reputation, and no one seems to want to give me a chance".

Matilda started to feel sick

"I gave you a chance"

He looked at her softly "I know you did"

She looked up at him "Look just give it a day or two"

He shook his head.

"I have to go Maddy"

"But where will you go"

He shrugged " I don't know' seeing her concern look he added "But I'll be ok, I've been looking after myself for years now"

She nodded, she knew he would be ok, he was strong, but she wasn't. . She just didn't want him to leave.

"I'll miss you"

"I'll miss you too"

Matilda held back her tears ' then why are you breaking my heart'

Kit watched in horror as the object changed colour.

Oh no oh no oh no oh no.

"Kit

oh no oh no oh no.

"Kit" Noah spoke through the door.

"Are you alright? You've been in there for a long time"

"I'm fine," she finally answered. "I'm just ah", she looked around frantically when her eyes landed on Matilda's comb. " I'm just combing my hair"

Noah shook his head walking away.

Since when did Kit comb her hair.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Matilda walked the short walk home slowly making it all the more longer.

It was past her curfew and she was sure by now everyone would be in bed, as she reached her window she cursed under her breath, she had shut it lock on her way out.

She looked around frustrated; there was only one option to climb in through the small bathroom window.

Placing her wallet in her mouth, she jumped and grabbed onto the ledge that held her mother's pot plants, she silently willed it not to break, and luckily it didn't, she swung one leg over then the other before promptly falling into the bathtub.

Kit who was sitting on the edge jumped up and shrieked

"What in hell do you think your doing"?

Hissed Kit "You scared the living daylights out of me"

"Well sorry " huffed Matilda, her night had been bad enough, and she wasn't willing to put up with any more crap, especially from Kit.

Sitting up she grimaced

"Are you alright? She asked reaching out and helping the younger girl up

"You know most people use the door"

" Well I do before curfew"

Kit's eyes lit up "Sneaking out now huh"?

Matilda started to rub her lower back

"Kit I really don't want to talk about this now"

Kit folded her arms "Ok then " She said "But tomorrow you spill the beans, unless your want mum to know about your late night adventures"

Matilda rolled her eyes, would her sister ever grow up.

"Fine"

Kit nodded in satisfaction.

Matilda sighed maybe now she could get some rest.

As she picked up her wallet from the tub she knocked the clothes basket to the floor sighing she picked up the dirty clothes until her hand touched something plastic .She sighed in frustration, Robbie had left one of his toys in his pockets again.

Her eyes widened as she drew it out. As if Touching Robbie's underwear wasn't bad enough!

"Kit is this yours? She asked slowly

Kit looked up and froze.

"Cause it definitely isn't mine and it most definitely couldn't be Mum's"

"Now why would you think that"?

"Kit"!

Kit held up her hands "Fine it is mine"

Matilda rubbed her eyes, maybe she was dreaming, but yet she was still holding the evidence in her hand.

Kit was pregnant.
