A little tear runs over Toby's little cheek. He can't believe it! He left! That selfish barber left his mum, without saying anything! Toby thought that he saw a guilty look in the eyes of the barber, and hoped that he maybe was thinking about coming back.. But he didnt. He just stayed on the ship. Toby walked away when he saw that the barber was talking to a sailor.
He would never trust a man again with his mother. Her heart is broken to many times. He won't let that happen again. He will protect her, and nothing is gonna harm her as long as he lives.
A strikes with the back of his little hand over his cheeck. He looks at the little drop of liquid on his hand. The moon shines bright, and it flickers in the pearly tear. He sighes, if he wants to protect his mum, he has to grow up. No tears anymore. The wipes his hand of on his clothes, and continues to walk home.
It's almost midnight, and it's silent on the streets of London. The only thing you could hear at 23.47 were quiet footsteps on the filthy streets. And if you looked, if you looked very good, you could see a little boy, walking in the shadows of the houses. And if you saw him, you will think, what is that little boy doing at this time on the unsafe streets? But then you will yawn and go back to your warm, big bed. And sleep, without worrying about that little boy.
No one cares for me, he thinks, well, only my mum. But she is sleeping now, and thinks he's laying in bed too.
He wakes up from his thoughts when he sees the pie shop. "Mrs. Lovett's pieshop." He sneaks to the door, and knocks.

Mrs. Lovett is sitting on a big chair when she suddendly hears someone knocking at her door. She stands up, and swings to the door. "Who is thaaat?" She whispers. She hears a childish voice whispering back. "It's Toby! Please mum, let me in!"Mrs Lovett giggles, "hihihi, okey To - by" She opens the door. She hiccups. Toby walks inside.
He looks at his mum. "Ehr, ma'am, maybe you have to go to bed." Mrs Lovett looks to the little boy and hiccups again. "Hahaha, y - ea, maybe. But let m-e first take another *hiccup* bo - ttle." And she swings to the small livingroom behind the shop. Toby follows her.
His eyes become wide and you can see that he's very shocked by what he is seeing in the room.
It's a total mess, there are laying empty bottles of gin over the ground, and all the cupboards are open. Some liquid is laying on the dark red carpet. His mum is sitting on the sofa holding something in her hands, while she giggles quietly. "Hihihi, you little *hiccup* haha, whats y -our name? Oh, i know a good name for *hiccup* you! Mr. Todd." Toby's voice is sharp when he begins to talk:"Ma'm, what are you doing? What do you have in your hands?" She giggles, "Just a little friend, nothing to worry about *hiccup* dear." Toby begins to worry, he has never seen his mum like this. He slowly walks to the sofa. "Ma'am, open you hands, now!" He looks anxious to the hands of his mother, who are slowly opening..
"Hihi, hello little *hiccup* sweetheart", says Mrs Lovett when the little mouse appears in her pale hands. Toby sighs, he's happy that it isn't something bad, but he's still worrying. "Ma'am, it's bed time", he says, and he grabs her arm with one of his small hands.
"But mr. Todd! he *hiccup* has to come too. He's tired!" Toby shakes his head. "Okey ma'am, i'll take the mouse." Mrs. Lovett smiles.
"Okey, *hiccup* my love. But le ma take a bottle before we go." Toby pulls on her arm, "no, it's enough for today." He puts the mouse in one of the cupboards. And he brings his mother to her bedroom. She walks stumbeling over her own feet to her bed. She let herself fall on the soft bed, and closes her eyes. "Thank *hiccup* you sweetheart." Toby smiles, and he walks out of the bedroom. "Goodnight ma'am."
"hmmm."

"Mr. Todd, Mr. Todd! Please, come back!" She screams to the man who is running in front of her. They run in a small street. It seems that the street never ends. "Mr. TODD!", the man runs away. And then suddendly, he is gone. The women searches for the man with the black and white hair. But she can't find him.
"Mr. T?" she asks.
A small mouse walks in front of her feet. The mouse is white, and has a black stripe on his back. The women watches the mouse until he dissapears in the shadows. She sighs. Suddendly she hears footsteps. But not from one person, but from two. A men with brown hair and a women with blond hair walks over the street, kissing. They kiss each other softly, while the blond women strikes the man over his hair. "Oh Lucy." The man sighs. The blond women laughs. Her laugh is like the jingle bells around Christmas time.
The baker looks to the pair, and softly asks: "Mr. Todd? Lucy?" But they don't hear her, and walk away. They dissapear in the shadows of the houses.
Mrs. Lovett falls on the ground, he's gone, he's gone. She keeps repeating it, and finally falls asleep with tears in her eyes on the London streets.
So, this was the end. I hope you liked it, please leave a review :)
