"***Amy, Amy"..." Amy wake up" Lyndsey gave her a light shake on the shoulder with her eyes still on the road ahead of her.
"****Who is coming****" Amy said as she shot her eyes open breathing hard, she frantically scanned her surrounding and released a silent sigh.
"What is it hun, did u have a bad dream" Lyndsey asked with her concentration still on the road "Ah... yeah... something like that" Amy said as she sat up and blinked multiple times to clear her sleepy eyes "Aren't we there yet mum, my butt is becoming too stiff sitting here all day which isn't good for me cause I have none to begin with"
"Don't be ridiculous Amy, it hasn't been even long since we left the airport" Lyndsey said but underneath that stern tone a small smile was painted on her lips "I know and that what I'm worried about, it's taking too long" Amy groaned in reply "I don't know why we had to move again anyway...I was already beginning to adapt" She added in a low voice and stared out the window, England was looking promising...but who knows, they might only spend a night and move to another foreign place, Amy sighed.
"Baby, I know, but they found out that we were there, we had to move" Lyndsey finally removed her concentration from the road and stared at her beloved daughter with guilt "Who is 'they' mum" Amy said as she turned to stare at her mum's face but when her question was only replied with silence and a sympathetic face she signed deeply and muttered "it's always like this anyway, I might as well get used to it" then leaned back on her seat with her eyes out the window "Now is not the right time love, in time you-" "in time you'd know what I'm talking about, I know mum, I always get the same reply" Amy cut her mum off and placed her purple earphones back on her ears, it was playing her favorite pop songs. Lyndsey got it for her on her 15th birthday, which was one of the happiest day of her life, it was the first time she had a surprise party.
Amy and Lyndsey were wearing hoodies and joggers both purple and white snickers. It was a habit, they had always worn matching outfits since Amy could remember. In fact the only thing different was their hairstyles, Lyndsey had her chestnut brown hair in a messy bun while Amy left her dark brown curly locks free, it was styled beautifully with artificial butterflies and other hair accessories that made her hair look like a miniature forest, Lyndsey had helped her, they had to wake up by 7am in other to do a last minute parking and preparation and catch their seven hours flight, they landed in Manchester airport by 3pm, it was already past four, and they were yet to reach their destination.
Lyndsey watched as Amy drifted back to sleep, she released a deep sigh "if only she knew I am trying to protect her, I wish they were still time, I wish you hadn't grown up so fast" Lyndsey muttered and returned her concentration back to the busy road ahead "Ahh...why does destiny have to be so cruel, such huge responsibility on an innocent child... I wish I could carry her burden" Lyndsey added as she drove into the holdup and leaned into the steering wheel with her eyes closed.
'What are you trying to protect me from mum' Amy thought as she opened her eyes to stare at her mum who looked pained as she waited for the hold up to clear with her eyes closed and leaned on the steering wheel, she sighed and shut her eyes again to drift off to sleep...
