“I don’t know how to deal with people caring, it scares me”

“Well it shouldn’t scare you, it’s normal for people to
care” Bette explained

“I really like them, and I really don’t want to incase they
don’t like me and…” Robyn sighed covering her face “This is just so hard and
confusing and it’s annoying me”

Bette got up and sat on the edge of the bed “Listen to me,
I’ve know that sister of yours for wow erm 13 years, she will not abandon you,
neither will Paul you need to get that idea out your head because it’s just
going to eat at you”

“I don’t know how to” Robyn cried “It’s so frustrating”

Bette pulled the young girl into her arms “Were all here to
help you, you need to start talking to them because I’m sure they will be
feeling similar to you”

“As if my teacher is giving me a cuddle, is that even
allowed”

Bette laughed “I won’t tell if you don’t, besides I’m now
family so I’m pretty sure that’s acceptable”

“Urgh this is far too weird” Robyn said

“Think how Nathan feels his family is overrun by females”
Bette joked

“Bet he’s thrilled I’m now part of it, he hates me” Robyn
said

“What makes you say that?”

“He’s in my music class and blanks me, he’s never uttered a
word to me” Robyn said

“Nathan’s like that sweetie he’s very reserved unless he
knows you”

“Hardly he was in a band, they toured I’ve did my research”

“Yes that was 2 years ago, and even then he still kept
himself to himself if you look theirs no interviews where Nathan isn’t sitting
next to Amy”

“Ok that’s fair enough” Robyn sighed

“Nathan will make an effort now I promise you” Bette smiled

“I don’t want anyone making an effort out of guilt or
because they feel sorry for me”

“We won’t we’ll make and effort because we care”

“Where do you think I should live?”

“Both are pretty good choices, it’s just up to where you
would like to” Bette smiled “I need to go sweetie but if you give me your phone
I will put my number in and if you need anything or just to talk you can call
me”

Robyn handed Bette her phone

“Just don’t be telling everyone you have Mrs Porter’s number
because that will sound weird” Bette smiled making Robyn laugh

Bette got up and lifted her bag “Have fun catching up with
your work, I expect A+ work from you”

Robyn smiled “thank you”

“You’re welcome…See you soon”

Bette left the room and walked down the stairs. Jacqui and
Ashley were just walking in the doors.

“Hey” Bette smiled

“Hey, how is she?” Jacqui asked

“Scared, confused, paranoid you don’t like her and leave
her, she said she likes you but doesn’t want to incase you don’t like her”
Bette explained

“I’ll have another chat with her when I finish” Jacqui
sighed

“Things won’t happen overnight it’s going to take time”
Bette smiled

“How was Cameron last night?” Jacqui asked

“Yeah he got up a few times but once he cuddled in he
settled down” Bette said “Aleya slept the full night”

“And you put him back in his crib?”

“Yes Tina wouldn’t let me bring him in beside us” Bette
smiled

“Good, if Amy had her way she’d have him in with us every
night and that’s no use” Jacqui smiled

“He’s a chancer” Ashley smiled “he knows Amy will jump if he
as much as scrunches his face”

Jacqui laughed “Bette does it to”

“He’s only little” Bette smiled “Ok have fun at work you
two”

“Bye” Jacqui smiled hugging Bette

“Bye” Bette hugged Ashley before leaving the hospital.
