Cold day [Jack]

[Isabella Prewett]

It had been a while since Bella had last been in Hogsmeade, but she had just come back from visiting Kim and Genevieve so she thought she might as well see how much had changed.
Turns out, not so much from last year, she didn't mind though. She didn't like change that much. Most of the changes in her life had been bad ones. So she didn't really appreciate change that much these days.
Noah was walking quietly by her side. This didn't surprise her though. He had always been quite a shy child. When he was born he seemed like he was going to be the most lively of the three. But after Gideon died, he was never quite the same. Though none of them were really. Especially herself.

It seems that once you've found your soulmate, you can never be apart from them. That whatever happens to them, happens more or less to you too. If they were happy, you'd be happy. If they were sad, you'd be too. But what if they died? That other half of your soul was ripped away from you. In Bella's case, a little part of her did die too. The fun-loving, easy going part that had been so prominent when Gideon was around, seemed to die too. The only thing that kept her going through all that were her children. They gave her a reason to keep going. But she was never the same.

Bella had seemed to drift off in some deep thought as she walked along the cobbled street, Noah's hand in hers.
"Where are we going mum?" Noah asked, startling her, and brushing away her thoughts.
"We're just walking Noah, is there anywhere you want to go?" She asked him with a small smile.
Noah shrugged and smiled back. She knew this meant that he really didn't mind.
It was quite a cold day though so she knew they'd have to go inside somewhere soon.
She looked around the somewhat empty street. There were only a few people walking about, minding there own business.
She wondered if anyone she knew was here today.

[/colour][/b] Dillon shouted to Jack, she was running back wards slightly running away from her problems, running to the place that always seemed to cheer her up, just that little bit more. The witch and wizard restaurant in hogsmeade. The one place Dillon could eat and play and not have a care in the world.

Jack chuckled to himself shaking his head in some what delight, this was one of the times with in the last two to three mouths that he had captured Dillon's smile once more, she was only six years of age and you would of thought that a little girl of that age should be smiling and having fun all of the time. But this just wasn't the case. Ever since Jack had cheated on Isabella Clark well now Parker her original name, and ever since Jack had fell into his coma. Things with the Clark household just weren't as happy any more.

There had been a few surprises along the way. Like his cousins Cameron and Cassey coming back to live with him and the kids. And there sick, corrupted brother Tristian stealing Jack's ex wife, and her not believe what he had done to all those children.

"Dad hurry. There weren't be any tables left. By the time you snap into this umm.. place." Dillon told Jack. Himself quickly snapping back into this place called home, and giving a faint nod to her. His hands pressed up to the sides of his jacket pockets and his hair being blown into his eyes, by the few chilled winds blowing past his face.[/ul][/size]

Bella noticed that Noah wasn't the only child in Hogsmeade that day. There was a young girl running to what seemed to be the only restaurant in Hogsmeade.
The lure of the wonderful food and warmth of the restaurant was a bit too much to resist.
She looked down at Noah with a smile.
"You hungry?" She asked, ruffling his hair with her free hand. She laughed as he frowned and tried to flatten it back down again.
"Yeah, I told you that five mintutes ago, but you weren't listening." He replied, looking slightly disgruntled.
Bella's smile slipped for a moment, she needed to stop drifting off like that, her kids needed her.
"Sorry little man." She replied apologetically. "You want to go to that restaurant we used to go to?" She asked, gesturing towards it.
He smiled and nodded in reply, already starting to walk towards it eagerly.

[/b][/colour] She said to him her hands twisting together in front of her. Dillon had always been very forward with any one, she was one of these girls with out a care in the world, which scared Jack some times. She was just to like him at times.

Jack looked at the little boy then looked at the direction he had walked seeing a lady follow him a light shrug falling from his shoulders, as he walked and stood just in front of the door way watching Dillon lock into conversation.[/ul][/size]

Bella couldn't help but smile when she saw the little girl start talking to Noah. He needed to make a few friends. She hoped it would help him become more open and get some confidence. He was a beautiful little boy with an outragously kind heart, but he had been through so much. He never enjoyed meeting new people.
Bella grimaced slightly, hoping he would be too shy. Hoping he would make a new friend. Hoping he wouldn't push her away like all the other children he had met.
She bit down on her bottom lip slightly as she watched, shifting her weight from foot to foot nervously.

Noah's head shot up suddenly, he had not heard any footsteps and had not realised someone was standing next to him. He had jumped slightly when she spoke.
He knew his mum desprately wanted him to make some friends, and he loved him mum more than anything else in the whole world, he just wanted to make her proud even though he was still so young. He stepped back slightly and took a deep breath. "Hello." He said in a voice barely above a whisper, though he still hoped she'd heard him. He didn't want to repeat himself.

Bella gave a small sigh of relief as she saw him reply. She saw a man standing near the girl and Noah and guessed he was the girl's father. She took a few steps closer and smiled at him.

[[SORRY! I'm sorry it's such a late reply, i've had loads of deadlines due recently and haven't been able to get on. Sorry sorry sorry!]]

[/b][/colour] She asked him sweetly nuddging her head to the door and pointign her thumb towards it, before looking back at the boy with another smile. "Oh and my names Dillon."[/colour] She quickly added.

Jack then watched the lady take another couple of steps towards him and the kids, a smile falling from her lips then a smile falling back. "Lovely little boy you've got there." He said to her to keep some sort of tension going.[/ul][/size]

Noah shrugged his shoulders slightly and nodded in response. The girl seemed nice enough, it would have been rude if he declined her offer. He looked down at their hands after she grabbed them, jumping slightly.
"Nice to meet you." He replied politely, like he had been taught. "My name is Noah." His voice was still quiet, but a tad louder than it had been before as he became more comfortable.

Bella smiled again at the man. "Thank you. He's very shy though, he barely ever talks to other children." She added, grimacing slightly. "You have a very beautiful daughter." She hoped, the little girl was his daughter, otherwise it could be awkward.

[/b] She then asked him. Jack's lips turnign to a small crease of a smile as he started to shake his head a little.

"She so blunt and to the point some times." His words not really directed to any one more of a reply to him self. But he said them lond enough for the lady to hear.[/ul][/size]
