The wedding party are still following you as you turn left into the alleyway of Jaxons court. As you move along the narrow corridor time begins to shift and as you emerge towards the end of the lane a year has passed. A lot can happen in a year.
Turn to the right and enter the bus station. When inside, walk down to stand N
You go past each stand, one by one, noticing the people and pigeons waiting for their buses. You've stood at this bus stop many times before. The daily commute to your 9 to 5 job, days out with me to nearby towns. But today it isn't you leaving.
This is where you said goodbye. Your daughter standing there alone looking you in the eyes and saying. I won’t be gone forever. I just need to get away from this place. From the memories here and to find a new start. I need to see more of the world and explore. I’ll call you every day. I Promise….
You have one last hug and move towards the exit. See the way out next to adams news? let’s walk that way. Through the doors and into the covered walkway of Lever street. Head towards the end and stop. You want to look behind you, see if she is still there, hoping she didn’t step on that bus. But you don't turn around because you know she is gone, not forever though. You need some air.. You are feeling an overwhelming surge of emotions.. If you want the memory to stop just let go of my hand
The rumble once again shifts us into a new memory
You are 3 years old. Standing on Market Street, the bus station is behind you. The only thing in your left hand is the soft furry paw of your favourite teddy. You dropped me and when you picked me up again, mum wasn’t there anymore. Let’s go find her. Turn left and walk down Market Street away from the town centre.
