Chapter 4 <>
As we opened the gates we saw Bella-Jayne playing with Anna. My heart started pumping and I felt a bead of sweat on my forehead. They hadn't noticed us yet... I sat on the swing and talked to Charley. Then Bella toddled over. "Pixie!" She burbled. Anna made s fun for the gate just a childminder came through with her 50 kids! Anna stumbled and fell. The kids began to laugh. A tear appeared in her eye. I walked up to her. "No!" Shouted Charley. "Please," she shrieked. I grabbed her wrist and pulled her to her feet. Then I got Bellas hand. "I'm going to go," I smiled to Charley. I walked out with Bella and Anna. "Homes bad, I tried to be like you but got whacked," she laughed. Bella was a very bubbly 2 year old. She could walk and talk and mum says she acts like I did when I was that age. "Stick? Da hit you wiv a stick?" She asked pointing to one in a dogs mouth. "Nah, slipper Belli Boo!" Anna said. I knocked on the door. Then I pulled them both to the side of the house where whoever answered the door couldn't see us. "I need to talk to you Anna. Lets go Costa. Drop off Bella and say your going out with a friend," I whispered shooing them to the door. "Hi mum," she said, "I'm nipping Costa with a mate, I'll be back in a bit. Ok?" "Sure. If you see Pixie tell her I'm sorry and that we need to talk about something," mum whispered. Anna must have nodded because she walked over to meet me. "Sorry," I whispered on our way to Costa Coffee. "Ok," she smiled pushing open the door. "Would you like a table?" A waiter asked us. "Noo! I just came for the carpet. Carpet for two please!" I smiled. "Er here?" Asked the waiter. "It was a joke!" Anna smiled taking us to a table herself. We left him with a puzzled expression on his face. We sat down and ordered a coffee and a biscuit each. "Sorry Ann I just need to nip to the loo," I whispered giggling. I came back to our table 5 minutes later to find that Anna wasn't there. I looked around. I went back into the toilets not there... Then I saw a man in black run out. He had a sack and poking out were some brown tufts of hair, Anna's hair.
