Hope you like this chapter im just trying to get the basic outline of the story so if its a little boring im sorry
Mrs. Lovett sat on the floor sobbing. She heard the grate behind her lift and slide onto the floor but she didn't bother to look to see who was there.
"Mum? Are you all right?" Toby asked quietly.
She didn't answer him she sobbed quietly again.
"Mum? Why are you crying?... what did he do?" Toby asked again.
"He left" She sobbed, "He left, he just left"
"All this time you helped him, but why?" Toby asked
"Because I love him" She replied.
"How could you love a man who could do such horrible things?" Toby asked confused.
"He had good intensions, if you knew what he has been through you would understand" She explained, still sitting on the floor of the bake house.
"Lets get you upstairs" Toby said putting a hand on Mrs. Lovett's shoulder.
She slowly got up, with the help of Toby. He was strong for his age.
As they walked out of the room she paused at the door and turned to look at the room were her life had fallen apart.
They walked up the stairs and into her room.
Toby walked Mrs. Lovett to her bed and sat her down.
She sat there staring at the floor. Trying to process everything that had happen that night.
"Please mum, get some rest" Toby pleaded
"Don't worry luv. Please don't stay up" She replied.
Toby walked out of the room leaving Mrs. Lovett alone.
She lay down on her bed but with no intention on sleeping. She knew she was going to have to leave as soon as possible the word would have spread of what happened, she knew that the death of the judge would not have gone unnoticed.
As all these thoughts flooded her mind she seemed to have dosed off into a light sleep.
"Mum? Mum?" Toby whispered quietly, lightly nudging her shoulder.
"Hmm?" She mumbled.
"Mum, I think its best if you got up" Toby said
"Morning luv, what time is it?" She asked, a little more awake this time.
"1 in the afternoon" he replied
"What?!" She said.
"How did sleep that long?"
"You were mighty tired, its good you got some rest" he replied, slightly concerned of why she was so worried.
"We need go" She said, sitting up abruptly
"There aint no rush for us leavin" Toby said, even more confused
"Indeed there is luv, last night Mr. T killed the judge and the beedle" she replied
"Those two deaths wont go unnoticed"
"What d'ya mean mum?" Toby asked
"I mean we need to leave… today" she said getting up off the bed
"We best be off a soon as possible, grab what you need"
"Will do mum" he agreed.
As Toby darted out of the room, she turned to give hers a quick look over. She saw a small traveling trunk laying on the floor by her table. She walked over to it and threw it onto the bed, she flicked up the snaps and opened the lid. She grabbed some clothes from her drawers and her favorite pieces of jewelry. She came across a necklace that Sweeney had given her for her birthday, she felt a warm tear fall down her cheek, which she quickly brushed away.
"Mum?" she heard Toby asked from the door way.
"Yes luv?" she replied in a small voice
"You all right?" he asked
"Fine, just grabbing a couple of things" she said still holding the necklace
She walked over to the trunk and dropped it into the small box she put her other jewelry in. Once she had everything she needed into the trunk she picked it up off the bed. But it being quite heavy she stumbled to the side dropping the trunk and slumped down onto the floor.
Silent tears started streaming down her face.
"Mum, we ought to be on our way" Toby said putting hand on her shoulder.
"Right, of course" she said wiping the tears off her face.
"I'm sorry, its just…"
Toby cut her off
"It's all right mum we just need to get out of here"
She nodded her head and stood up. She bent down to get her trunk but Toby got to it first.
"Let me" he said grabbing her trunk.
She nodded again and they started walking to the door, she looked around her room once more then the bake shop. They walked past the stairs leading down to the bake house, Mrs. Lovett to in a sharp breath of air.
Toby noticed what was going on so he pushed her along trying to avoid the pain this place was causing her.
Once they got outside she saw that Toby had a carriage ready his bag already inside.
He walked up to the carriage and put Mrs. Lovett's bag beside his.
"Give me a minute luv" She called to Toby
"Alright mum" He said, watching her with worried eyes.
She walked up the stairs to Sweeney's barber shop, and opened the door. The bell chimed quietly. She stood in the doorway and looked into the room, it looked exactly the same except the broken mirror was even more broken, the drawer of the table was pulled out onto the floor and the bottle of gin smashed into pieces.
The pain of being in this room was to much for her, she turned to go down the stairs but something caught her eye.
On the table sat the picture of Lucy and Johanna…
"He didn't take it with him" she whispered to herself
"Mum! We aught to be leaving" Toby yelled from down the stairs.
She closed the door to the shop and walked down the stairs.
"Why did you go up there mum?" Toby asked
"I needed to see something" she replied, more to herself than to Toby.
"You sure your all right mum?" Toby said
"I'm fine luv, don't worry" she mumbled quietly
