It was early the next day so Nick and Zoe had got a chair out for Linda. "I'm giving her breakfast first", Zoe said. Linda came down and entered the kitchen. Nick gave her some coco pops and toast with butter on and orange juice to drink. "Thank you", Linda said. She ate her coco pops then her toast and then her orange juice. She was about to get up when Zoe wanted a word with her. Zoe sat Linda on the sofa and Zoe knelt down next to Nick. "Linda I'm so sorry but your dad died in an explosion", Zoe said. Linda burst into tears. Nick hugged Linda. "It's ok, everything will be fine", Nick tried to assure Linda. Nick had to get off to work so he kissed Zoe goodbye and waved to a tearful Linda.
Zoe and Linda got ready for shopping. They got to the bus stop. "Jessica", Linda said. Jessica smiled. "What's wrong", she asked. "Nothing", Linda replied. Jessica looked at Linda. "Linda please your eyes are red which means you have been crying, your using the same tone of voice when I ended up unlocking the toilet door to find you crying and I don't want one o my bestfriends upset", Jessica said. Linda shock her head wiping away a tear. Jessica hugged her and little Linda held her hand. They all got on the bus and Linda used her pass she found at the bottom of her bag. Zoe and Linda sat away from Jessica as she had a buggy. The bus took fifteen minutes.
Once they got into town they were walking. "Want Linda to push me", Little Linda said. Linda pushed little Linda. "I wove you",Little Linda said to Linda. They went into top shop. Little Linda wanted Linda to get a pair of hopped earrings so Zoe added them to the basket. Linda also added a black mini skirt to the pile
