Didnt see it coming || Liam O'donovan

Chapter eight

The burnywood menace
(This is season 2 episode one of the original series just with Riley and Nina in it and some slight changes to fit the fanfic)

• Liam's POV
Turns out the papers Tracy threw away were just boring old paperwork. Talk about a waste of time. A few weeks have passed and not much has changed. Poppy and Rosie got fostered and lily might be joining them soon. But that's the only change it's still the same old dumping ground.Anyways we're all in the kitchen making a tower of the gross cheap baked beans Tracy's made us for lunch.

Tracy walks in and laughs "what're you all doing"
"Making a tower what does it look like" I answer
"Ok....why?"
"Well you don't expect us to eat this rubbish do you?" Saph raises her eyebrows.
"You keep giving us these horrible cheap beans" Carmen complains.
"And I think you'll find they're past their sell by date" tee adds
"Only by a few days. And look we've got to save money" Tracy grimly responds

Oh this is just typical innit.

Just then Gus runs into the kitchen yelling while grabbing his head "MIKE CANCELLED MY PIANO LESSONS! I ALWAYS HAVE PIANO LESSONS ON WEDNESDAY IF I DONT HAVE PIANO LESSONS ON WEDNESDAY THEN WEDNESDAY WONT WORK" Tracy tries to calm him down and I walk up to her and say

"Look me in the eye Tracy beaker,and tell me this is fair."

While later and Tracy walks into the kitchen again and tells us that the council are planning on shutting us down and sending us to burnywood.

"Burnywood?!" I exclaim
"They can't do that!" Carmen adds
"This is our home" tee moans

There is no way in hell I'm going back to burnywood. They call themselves a care home heck it makes this place feel like buckingham palace. There's no way to breathe in that place I'm not going back.

"That's why we need to make these cuts work." Tracy continued.
"Nah look just don't get sucked in. If they wanna shut us down they're gonna shut us down it doesn't matter how much money we raise." Saph rolls her eyes and heads out of the kitchen.
I ignore little miss sunshine and go on "I've made a stretch in burnywood I'm NOT going back."
"Then help us make it cheaper here and you won't have too." Tracy replied.
I pause for a moment then yelled, "everyone,let's show these council muppets how to run this place on the cheap."
Everyone around me yells and agrees and cheers but I notice Rileys silent.

•Riley's POV
Having to make cuts because those in charge are acting like you're a burden, being threatened to get sent somewhere else for money,it's all too familiar for me. The irony. I get up and leave the kitchen and I can feel Liam and Johnny's eyes on me. They're obviously suspicious. I head up to my room and sit down on my bed,face in my hands. I hate how my thoughts have so much power over me. I hate how this is happening again. And by the way Liam and Carmen and Tracy went on about how horrible this burnywood is,I'm worried about if they really do send us there how it'll affect Nina. She's only two. Just then Tracy walks in and I don't bother looking up. She seems to know what I'm thinking about.
"Look Riley I know you're worried about Nina and that the council kicking us out of our own home for money brings u thoughts and memories that you don't wanna remember. But it's going to be different this time. This time you're not on your own and we're gonna fight back. We'll show them who they're messing with yeah?" She gives me her classic comforting squeeze. I give some thought to her words,and realize that she's right. I get up and say "Those muppets chose the wrong care home to pick on" Tracy gives me a high five and we head out the door.
