Tw⚠️ self harm mentioned
Carina POV:
"Waw look at you" I said to Harper when she was ready, "come on then let's go downstairs bambina" I said kissing her cheek and then grabbing her hand to walk downstairs. "Harpers all ready!" I said walking into the living room before seeing Gracie wrapped in mayas arms with dried tear stains. "Everything okay?" I asked concerned, "yes all good" Maya replied. "Have we decided where to go?" I asked Maya, "we were thinking the park and icecream" Maya replied, "happy with that girls?" I asked Harper and Gracie. "si" Harper nodded, "sounds good" Gracie said standing up. "Come on then let's go!" Maya said standing up and walking to the door followed by Harper, Gracie and I.
.......
Maya POV:
"What flavour icecream would you like girls?" I asked the Harper and Gracie, "strawberry please!" Harper said excitedly. "Gracie?" I asked her, "the same please" she replied shyly. "Baby?" I asked Carina, "chocolate please Bella" She said kissing my cheek. Here you go girls" I said passing the ice creams to Harper and Gracie. "Thanks Maya" Gracie said, "Thankyou mommy" Harper added. "What's this?" I heard Harper say to Gracie, "oh nothing" she replied then rolling down her sleeve quickly. I looked at Carina who's attention had also been caught at the situation.
......
Gracie POV:
Shit I can't believe that just happened, I think Maya and Carina saw as well but I don't want to make a big thing out of it, "sorry I'm just going to use the bathroom" I said excusing myself from the table, I quickly walked into the bathroom, shutting the door and let all my tears rush down my face.
......
Carina POV:
"I'll go bella" I said to maya before following Gracie into the bathroom, I walked in hearing cry's coming from the locked cubicle. "Bambina are you okay?" I asked softly from the other side of the door. "I'm fine just go" she replied. "Bambina please come out" I pleaded to her. "No!" She shouted from the cubicle. "Bambina I know your worried but you need to come out and talk to me okay?" I added, "no carina I'm fine, please just go!" She snapped back. I walked out of the bathroom over to Maya, "take the bambina to the park we might be awhile." I said to Maya, "okay baby, message me later okay?" She said placing a kiss on my lips, "of course, bambina go with mommy to the park okay? Me and Gracie will see you later." I said to Harper before bending down and giving her a hug.
.....
"Gracie, please come out so I know your okay" I said to her in the bathroom. "I can't" she cried. "Shh bella come on, it's okay" I said softly. She slowly opened the door to reveal her eyes full of tears which were slowly running down her cheek. "Oh bellina" I said picking her up, "come on let's go" I said carrying her to the car.
.....
"Come on let's go upstairs" I said walking into the house. We made our way upstairs into me and Mayas bedroom. "Here is a clean tshirt and joggers okay? Take a shower and freshen up it will make you feel better okay? I'll be here once your done" I said to Gracie handing her the pile of clothes. "Thanks" she said walking into the bathroom.
......
"Carina?" I heard her say from the bathroom, "yes bellina?" I questioned. "Um do you have a hoodie or something I could have" she asked me, "i do bambina, open the door" I said, she opened the door and stepped infront of me. "Here you go" I said handing the hoodie to her. "Come watch a movie" I said patting the bed.

                        Bella<3
C: Hi bambina, Gracie is okay we're watching a movie now, let me know when you're on the way home.

M: We're walking home now, see you in a bit my love <3

"Are you sure you want to keep your hoodie on its boiling bambina" I asked her, "um" she shrugged, "come here bella, if your worried about me seeing your wrists it's okay. I saw in the icecream shop, you don't have to hide it from me and maya alright? Just know we don't have to talk about it right now but we are both always here for you okay bella?" I told her. She nodded and took of her hoodie, watching the movie beside me, "do you want to sleep over?" I asked her, "are you sure? I don't want to be an inconvenience" she said to me. "We would love you to stay, just let your foster parents know okay? I told her, "oh okay, I'll phone them now" she said looking nervous.
......
"Hello? I heard a faint voice say through the phone.
"It's Gracie, can I stay over someone's house tonight?" She asked the person on the other side of the phone.
"No!  There's things you need to do. You've been out all day get home you ungrateful child!" An angry woman's voice said on the other line. "Okay sorry, I'll  be back as soon as I can" Gracie quickly said ending the phone call. "I've got to go" She said quickly getting up, "I'll drive you bambina" I said following her downstairs, "oh okay thankyou" she smiled.
.......
Maya POV:
"Carina!" I shouted when we got home. "Carina?" I questioned after getting no response the first time. I pulled out my phone and called her.

"Maya?" Carina asked answering the phone.

"Where did you go? I thought you'd ere home with Gracie?" I asked her confused.

"Oh sorry yes i I'm dropping her home her foster parents wanted her home." She told me.
 
"Oh okay, see you in a bit baby"
........
"This is it" Gracie told me as we drove up to a house, "will you be okay?" I asked her worried. "Uh ye I'll be fine." She replied quietly. "Okay bambina, you have my number message me or phone me if you need me okay? Day or night Gracie" I told her hoping it would make her feel better. "Okay. Thanks for everything Carina, see you soon" she said hugging me "of course bambina. See you soon". I said as she got out the car.
.......
Maya POV:
"I'm home!" I heard my girlfriend shout from the front door. "In the living room baby!" I replied. "You okay?" I asked her as she sat down next to me. "Yes but there is a lot to talk about tonight bella..."
