Part 22🌸

Yesterday Kristy and I went to Dawn's house to help her with some babysitting tips. It actually went better than I thought, they got along pretty well.

Today I was going with Dawn to help babysit the Barretts. We got there and as usual, it was a disaster in their house.

Natalie- hi Dawn! You brought Lilli
Lilliana- hi Natalie
Natalie- hiiii, I need some help with my lines for my audition, can you girls help?
Lilliana- uh, I guess...

We sat down and she started rehearsing lines. She had us record it too so she could send it in for an audition.

Natalie- *crying* I'm so sorry. I know it hasn't been easy. But if you could see inside my heart, you would see... oh shoot. Line!
Dawn- uhh. You would see how much I need this kidney, Dr. Baltchton
Natalie- why do I keep tripping on that line
Buddy- can I go play with David Michael?
Natalie- you're grounded for flooding my bathroom
Buddy- I was being Aquaman!

Buddy stormed off in his scuba gear. I sighed and shook my head at the boy.

Dawn- Natalie, uh, I've been meaning to talk to you-
Natalie- he's just like his father. He wants what he wants when he wants it.
Lilliana- yeah, but-
Natalie- so then you give it, and then you give up on yourself

I look at Dawn and she looks at me. I mouth 'uh oh' to her and she nods.

Natalie- and then one day, you're alone. Starting over, one yogurt commercial audition at a time. But I have to make it work. I have to proof to my kids that I can make something of myself
Dawn- of course you do...
Natalie- guys... you're the best. I'll be back after my cryogenic freeze facial

I raise my eyebrow in confusion. Didn't she say-

Dawn- wait, I thought you had an audition
Natalie- Monday! I have to look my best. Too da loo!

She walked out the front door. I sighed and walked over to the baby.

Dawn- hey Buddy! Wanna have a great British snack off?

There was no answer. I looked at Dawn in confusion. She shrugged and called for Buddy again.

Dawn- Buddy! Buddy?

We walk towards the kitchen to where Buddy stormed off after he was told no when he asked to go play with David Michael. Then we stopped... the back door was open. Dawn leaned her head out.

Dawn- Buddy!
Lilliana- Buddy! Where did he go?
Dawn- I don't know. Think, think.

She told herself. She grabbed her phone.

Dawn- he said he wanted to go play with David Michael, so he must have gone there

I nod my head. She calls Kristy and we wait for her to answer the phone. She answer it and looks at us.

Kristy- speaking
Dawn- is Buddy Barrett at your house?
Kristy- aren't you watching him?
Lilliana- he left the back door open and he's not here, he said he wanted to go to your house

Her face dropped and she looked at us.

Kristy- I'm on my way
