it down to the Jeep?"
He still hadn't taken his eyes from me as Amy spoke to him, "Yeah sure."
He blinked hard before he stood slowly and casually walked over to the bags
that Amy had left in the hallway.
"Are you gonna be okay Louise?" Amy asked sincerely.
I nodded my head looking around the apartment, "I think we're gonna by
fine, all thanks to you Amy."
"I've written my mobile number and the number for the cafe on the note pad
in the kitchen. If you have any problems what so ever please don't hesitate in
giving me a call." She hugged me lightly and walked into the hallway to collect
the last of the bags.
"Is that everything?" Spike asked hovering by the doorway.
"Yeah, see you soon Louise." Amy smiled before walking to the stairwell.
Spike leaned on the doorframe folding his arm across his broad chest, looking
at me intently.
I became nervous under his scrutiny and twisted my hands nervously, "Could
you please thank the other two guys that helped out today." He simply
smiled tightly and nodded his head, "Before you go I also wanted to ask
about the car because that's the only connection Liam has to me. If he finds
out where it caught fire, he'll know where I am."
"Already taken care of babe, don't worry about a thing."
His statement reminded me of something Liam would say. I backed up slightly
holding onto the front door for protection as Spike's facial expression altered
slightly by my change in demeanour. He went to retrieve something from his
pocket and I flinched at his sudden movement.
"Shit! I'm sorry Louise. I didn't mean to scare you, I'm just gonna give
you this."
He handed me a shiny black card and I could see that he worked as a tattooist,
which explained a few things.
"You can contact me on that number anytime, no matter how trivial you
think it may be."
I nodded my head understanding his sentiments but I wouldn't need his help after
Saturday as I probably wouldn't even see him again. Why did that thought
sadden me?
"Where's Spike and Amy?" Devon asked as she came bounding into the
living room wearing another outfit.
"They had to go home, sweetie. Why don't we get cleaned up and watch a
film? Amy said she had the movie channel."
Devon nodded her head dramatically as she ran into the bedroom screaming
excitedly to Tommy about what we planned to do.
I walked slowly into the living room, taking in everything around me and tried
to comprehend how someone could be so trusting. Amy had uprooted herself to stay
with Spike for four days so that my children and I could have a place to stay.
It was very trusting on her part but showed that there was hope for a better
life. I continued to walk around the apartment and noticed the variety of
different clocks displayed in various positions. I felt a shudder and an
uncomfortable feeling as if the noises of the ticking were getting louder,
thirty-seven minutes, thirty-seven minutes...
I leapt around the apartment and collected the clocks like a mad women, taking
them off the walls, cabinets and windowsills and carried them into the kitchen,
placing them securely into the cupboard under the sink. I closed the door and
turned around quickly, sliding to the floor as my heart rate returned to
normal. I thought it would get easier over the years but I couldn't be much
further from the truth.
"Mum, are you ready for the films?" Devon shouted from the living
room.
I smiled to myself feeling the warm feeling inside, knowing that I wasn't
allowed to be sad for too long because I had the children to think about,
"Yeah coming!"
    It was nearing bedtime, we had watched 'Little Mermaid' and 'Brave',
two of my favourite Disney films. Tommy yawned right on cue, which made us
laugh, "Come on you two let's get you cleaned up and into your new
pyjamas." They didn't need much encouragement and swiftly ran to the
bathroom to brush their teeth with their new toothbrushes.
I ran them a shallow bath and decided to put them into the tub together because
it was getting late and this would save
