My Name is Leon
Original practice passage: The last bus
The bus pulled away, coughing a grey cloud into the wet street. I watched it until its red lights became two small dots. Jake pressed his nose against the window beside me. “Will Mum be there when we get back?” he asked. I wanted to say yes. Instead, I tightened my fingers around the paper bag in my coat pocket. Inside it was the last jam tart from the kitchen. I had promised Jake he could have it after tea, but the tart had squashed against my notebook. The jam had made a red stain across the page where I had drawn our house: two windows, one door, and a chimney leaning like a crooked finger. “Maybe,” I said. “We can save her a bit.” Jake nodded, as if this settled everything. He was good at that—making a small answer feel like a proper plan. I wished I could do it too. At the next stop, the doors opened with a hiss. A woman climbed on, carrying a shopping bag. She looked at us, then at the empty seat beside her, but she did not sit down. I turned back to the window. Outside, the shop signs were blurred by rain. The bus shuddered forward. I pulled out my drawing. The house looked worse now, the red mark spreading into the paper. I folded it carefully and put it away. Jake leaned against my arm, warm and heavy with sleep. I kept still so I would not wake him. The bus carried us towards home, and I tried to decide what home would feel like when we got there.
