“Amy’s got assessments all day
today” Jacqui said

“I know Spencer was telling me, she’s
playing guitar for Jaded since josh dropped out”

“Yeah Paul said he’s going to play
bass instead of guitar to make things easier” Jacqui yawned “I’m glad he has
music as a distraction to be honest”

Bette walked into the hospital;
Jacqui noticed her and smiled weakly, Bette made her way over to her daughter
in law wrapping her arms around her.

“How you holding up?”

“Not so good” Jacqui admitted “She
won’t talk to me or Paul, Ashley has had so much abuse it’s not even funny and
my so called dad keeps trying to make contact with her!”

“Tina has put a stop to that
though” Ashley added

“Good I’m glad to hear that, okay
well I’ll try my best not promising anything though” Bette said walking in the
direction of the stairs

Bette knocked on Robyn’s room
door.

The young girl was lying on her
bed.

“Hello how you feeling?” Bette
smiled sitting down

“Hey” Robyn said “Not feeling very
good, they won’t let me out of here”

“That’s for your safety” Bette
said

“I said I wasn’t going to do
anything again!” Robyn snapped

“And were supposed to take your
word for that, you cut your wrists Robyn and jumped of a bridge, not to mention
the fact you can hardly walk”

“That’s beside the point!”

“Where do you intend in going?”
Bette asked

“No idea, don’t really care”

“Why won’t you talk to Jacqui and
Paul?”

“Why should I? When I wanted to
talk they didn’t now all of a sudden they want to, that’s pretty fucked up don’t
you think?”

“Language!”

“Sorry” Robyn apologised

“They just found out about you,
this is huge it takes time to register” Bette explained “Jacqui has went
through so much already and your Dad hasn’t been there at all for her”

“I’ve not exactly had a splendid
life!” Robyn sarcastically snapped

“No-one says you have however your
only 16 years into your life Robyn, you have plenty of time to improve it!”

“How do I do that? By going back
to that stupid care home?”

“By letting people in, your sister
is a remarkable person; give her a chance to be in your life”
