2. Leaving and an Unexpected Surprise

Jackie POV

I can't believe I'm leaving today, I'm going to miss everyone loads, even Sapphire because she seems to be good with little kids. Roxy was about to cut Layla's doll's hair when Sapphire suddenly stormed in and told her to back off or she'd cut Roxy's hair instead.

The leaving party is ok so far, I'm just dreading Elaine's goodbye speech.

"Hello everybody, hello, hello!" Elaine tried.

"What's going on?" Sapphire asked me.

"Oh it's Elaine's boring old goodbye speech that she makes every time someone leaves, it's really boring." I explained, Sapph (she asked us all to call her that) groaned.

"She seems like a bit of a pushover though." She stated.

"Oh she is" I replied, "Once, we told her that the sky was falling and if she didn't hide in the garden shed it would squash her. Guess what, she actually believed us and hid in the garden shed, so we locked the door. She stayed in there overnight before Mike finally realised where she was" I giggled. Sapph sniggered too.

"Hello everyone, I just wanted to say thankyou for coming a-" Elaine started.

"Well, it's not like we had a choice" Rebecca stated as we all sniggered.

"Rebecca, zip it!" Mike hissed.

"Anyway, as I was saying, I really hope you enjoy the party. Now, I just wanted to declare how much everyone is going to miss Jackie and Crash, it just won't be the same without you, so everyone, enjoy yourselves and have a wonderful last day Jackie and Crash."

The End of the Party

I have to say the party was loads of fun, with the few exceptions of Roxy and Rebecca who were in foul moods, they always are. We were just waiting to say goodbye to Wolfie, the cake was coffee cream and he ate to much, when my phone buzzed, I had a text from Beaker

Well, need to go, got a plane to catch, Cam, Gary and I are going to Madrid! Bye Guys!

Well... that's that then. Not gonna see Beaker for weeks now. I sat in the car, waving along with Crash, tears forming in my eyes. This was the closest place to home after living with Grandpa. He'd want me to go and get proper training though. I realised, as long as I had Crash, and we stayed together, we have each other, we'll be fine.

It was on the way that I suddenly saw something that I couldn't resist on checking out. There was something at the side of the road which I recognised as a girl.

"Elaine stop the car." I asked.

"Why Jackie you don't get car sick?" She annoyingly questioned.

"ELAINE STOP THE FLIPPING CAR NOW!" I screamed, really irritated. She did just that, pulling over quite suddenly.

I leapt out of the painmobile, sprinting towards the sight I had seen just a few minutes ago... but it was gone.

"What is it Jackie?" Elaine asked as Crash ran up, the Pain staggering close behind him, "I hope you're not doing this on purpose!" She scolded

Cliffhanger! Don't you just love em.
