Chapter 30: "Stay safe Mummy."

Scarlett's pov

“What happened to you, mummy?”

Maya is stuffing her face full of food and I’m supposed to be eating too but I can’t help myself. I stop and stare at her.

Maya begins to tell me how she has to get to school and how she has her first class for the day today. She wants to head over to school and climb that wall again. Her classmates don’t seem to like her too much but she has someone she thinks might like her, he even told her his name.

Atreau. He has brown hair just like her but his eyes are darker than hers. He shared his seat with her yesterday and he’s a year older than her.

“When am I gonna be nine years old too mummy?”

The tears that rush out of my eyes sting as they do and I have to look away so Maya doesn’t see them. I can’t get that image out of my head.

She was on the bed and she wasn’t waking up. What if she didn’t wake up anymore? What if she had died in her sleep?

A shiver runs down my spine at the thought of that and fierce defiance makes me straighten up.

I'm convinced neither the author, mother or child knows the age of said child. Part of me is still stuck on the then 6 year old could not reach the door handle to the bathroom a number of chapters back. But now with her aging 2 years in a week it's even more disturbing.
