“You’re welcome, I’ll bring it up”

Bette knocked on Robyn’s door

“Hey you came” Robyn smiled

“Well you can’t come to me so I figured I’d make an
exception” Bette smiled sitting down “Amy said you wanted to see me”

“Yeah I just want to talk to someone who I know I can trust”
Robyn said

“You know you can trust anyone of the guys who talk to you”

“I don’t know them” Robyn said

“I understand that, but you have to work to get to know
them, Jacqui and Paul are both very understanding” Bette explained “And my Amy
is pretty understanding too”

 “She watched Alvin
and the Chipmunks with me last night”

“She loves Alvin, think it’s because he’s cheeky and
sarcastic” Bette said

“She’s pretty sarcastic herself” Robyn said “I don’t know
how to take it”

“You just give her right back” Bette laughed

“Yeah but she’s so clever with it”

“So I brought some work for you to catch up with” Bette said
“I know you don’t want to hear that but your brother asked me to do it”

“How nice” Robyn said “When you say work what are we
talking?”

“Well you have stuff to catch up with in my class, english
and calculus” Bette said

“Yeah okay” Robyn sighed “I don’t know if I want to come
back to school”

“That isn’t up for discussion unfortunately” Bette stated
“Robyn things will get hard but they will also get better”

“They both want me to decided where I’m going to live, how
do I decide that, either way I’m living with people who don’t know me”

“They will get to know you and you will get to know them,
it’s going to take time”

“They bought me loads of stuff” Robyn said “I have an iPhone
now”

Bette laughed “That’s them emphasising they want to know
where you are and what you’re doing”

“But why?” Robyn sighed “I can take care of myself”

“So they know you’re safe” Bette said “And you shouldn’t
have to take care of yourself, you need to realise to us you’re a child”

“I’m 16”

“Exactly, Nathan has this problem too he thinks he knows
everything and can master the world, well the reality is no you can’t, everyone
needs support and help from time to time” Bette explained “School you will
catch up with, all your teachers are confident and will help you in any way
they can, and when you decide where your living you will still gain all of us”
