Connie sat down and ran her hands through her hair. How oblivious could she be, she had completely missed how Savannah was feeling. It had all started to make sense now, the icy looks, the hostile towards Connie, it was all because she thought no one cared a defensive barrier to stop people knowing how she really felt.
Connie's office door opened and in walked Zoe, everyone had heard and saw what had just happened.
"Connie are you" Zoe began but she was cut off by Connie.
"Please Zoe not now" Zoe nodded and headed out the office door.
Connie took a deep breath before standing up and leaving her office to go find her daughter.
She walked upstairs to the toilet and pushed open the door, she saw one of the cubicles was locked and heard someone crying in it.
"Savannah are you in there?" Connie asked.
"Go away" Savannah shouted while crying.
"Savannah please just listen" Connie pleased as she sat down on the floor outside the toilet door.
"Why, so you can just sit and lie again, tell me you care when you don't" Savannah said.
Connie swallowed the guilt beginning to eat away at her.
"I know I haven't been there a lot and I regret that I really do"Connie said.
"So is that why you packed me off to boarding school at five and then did the exact same to Grace" Savannah said not believing one word Connie was saying.
"Darling I know made a huge mistake and I regret it I really do"
"Then why, why do it?" Savannah asked.
"Because, because I thought you would be better off without me" Connie told her.
"Better off without you, how could a child be better off without their mum" Savannah criex."You know Grace used to cry the whole night because she missed you and I had to sit and lie and tell her you missed her too when you couldn't have cared less
"Don't say that of course I care, just tell me what I need to do" Connie pleaded with her.
"I just want you to be a proper mum" Savannah let out.
"I promise I'll be better" Connie told her and this time she really meant it.
"Don't promise because its worse if you break that promise, just tell me you'll try".
"Okay I'll try" Connie said standing up as she heard the door unlock.
Savannah came out and Connie hugged her and this time her daughter hugged back.
"I'll try, i'll really try"
