1pm. There she was sat in the back of this mikes car with Jenna who she also didn't know. Going to a care home. She was terrified. She didn't want to talk.
Then they pulled up. She didn't want to get out, she refused.
"Olivia come on" Jenna tried grabbing her.
"no no no no" she pushed her of tearing up.
Then Mike tried and it worked. Then she was stood in front of the door that Mike was about to open.
He walked in.
Olivia just stood there not wanting to go in.
"I can't..." she looked Jenna.
"You can" she smiles.
"Everyone is nice" Mike clarified.Liv stepped in.
"We have a room spare so you can go in there, it's quiet and you have it to yourself" Mike says and she nods.
"I'm Gus I need too—" a frizzy haired boy comes up to her startling Olivia.
"Not now Gus" Mike says.
The boy suddenly turns around and walks away.
Every single kid in the house is stood there behind a door frame by the living room watching.
"God she stinks" one says.
"Eh look at her" another one says."The office is just through here" Mike points.
Olivia walks in and sits down.
"Hello you must be Olivia" a lady says.
"I'm Gina" she smiles getting no reply.
"Well you don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want but you can eat,shower,drink do anything you want okay" he smiles.
"Thanks" she quietly says.
"Tracy" Mike says as a lady with black short ish hair walks in. "Can you take Olivia to her new room"
"Yeah of course" she smiles at Liv.
"Oh and make sure the kids don't surround her too much, she has never really interacted with anyone besides her parents" he whispers in her ear.
She nods. "Okay Olivia shall we go" she smiles.
She just walks over to her.
"You'll be alright Olivia" Jenna says.
She just stares back and walks out.
"Now can I give you—" that same boy comes up to her.
"Gus not now" Tracy sees Olivia's emotions change to normal to worried.As Tracy walks into Liv's new room. Liv is surprised how nice it is, clean floors, an actual bed frame and mattress, desk. All the stuff she didn't have in her old room back home.
She looks out the window.
"Will they come?" She looks at tracy worried.
"Sweetie they know your in a care home now but they don't know which one, they aren't allowed to see you" Tracy walks over to her.
"Tracy, Tracy" a boy comes in.
"Liam" tracy sighs.
"Hi" he smiles at liv.
She ever so lightly smiles.
"Tracy can you try some of the liam-ade"
"No I need to show Olivia some things, I will after"
"Fine and can she too"
"Uh it's up to Olivia"
"Okay bye" he shoots off.
"That's liam he's one of the wild one" Tracy smiles.
"He seems nice" Olivia quietly says.
"Yeah, so do you want to shower and then you could maybe have dinner?" Tracy asks.
"ok"
"I'll show you too the bathroom and I'll get you some clean clothes for you to wear" she walks with you to the bathroom.
"Okay just wait one moment" she walks out.Olivia walks over to the bath tub.
"2 minutes now! Your punishment you little brat. Go in or no food for a month. Olivia I said 2 minutes, go under now!"
"Okay I'm back— hey are you alright" Tracy walks in seeing tears in Olivia's eyes.
"Yes"
"I've got you some clothes and when your done you can go back to your room and I'll be around so I'll see you" she smiles. "I know being here is scary but I promise we are all nice here"
"ok"
"I'll see you in a bit" she walks out leaving the clothes in Olivia's hand.As they had a shower she used that not the bath. She got dressed and was walking back to her room.
"Can I give you a tour now?" The boy says.
"why?"
"So you know your way around here" Gus stated.
"no"
"But it's on my schedule"
"take it off then" she walks to her room.Her thoughts "I know I was terrified of my parents but these people here there not them so maybe I shouldn't be scared. Maybe I should forget about them and be happy here? But how? I don't know these people. What if they don't like me. Stop it Olivia you can't be like this forever.
"Hi Olivia do you want to come downstairs for some of Liam-ade?" Tracy asked.
"Tracy what if they don't like me?"
"Of course they will you just need to be myself"
"But I've never been around anyone my age how do I act"
"Olivia, don't be scared of them, some of them were just like you, this place is to keep you safe and happy, it's a home not a house." Tracy smiles " i use to live here and I came back to work so it can't be that bad can it" she laughs.
"You lived here?"
"Yeah I did for years"
"oh"
"There's nothing to be scared about, just forget the past and be in the present" Tracy says.
Liv smiles. "Thanks Tracy" she hugs her.
Tracy smiles.
"Now should we go"
"Yeah""Remember just be yourself" tracy says just before they walk into the kitchen.
"Hey guys!" Tracy says.
Toby,Tee,Frank, Johnny stood with Liam holding a bottle of Liam-ade.
"Hi" Liv says.
"I'm tee with two e's not an a" tee comes up, she is definitely younger then liv.
"I'm Olivia. Liv or livvy"
"Cool" she smiles.Liv walks over to Liam.
"I swear I've seen you before" she whispers.
"Wait" he looks at her.
"Oh now I remember" she laughs. "You knocked on my door and started begging for a pound or something." she finished laughing.
"Really Liam, begging for money" Tracy heard the conversation.
"What no she's lying" Liam looked at Olivia.
"Am not" liv sighed.
"Okay maybe, I needed another pound for chocolate okay I was hungry" he admits.
"Wow why not a sandwich or something" Olivia laughed.
"Shut up" he giggled.
"See you would be good friends with Liam and Frank, they are more your age" tracy says to liv when she walked back to her.
"Yeah" she smiled."Okay who's ready for liam-ade?!" Liam rubbed his hands together excitedly. "And maybe even some chocolate" he whispered over to Olivia, smirking.
"Yeah maybe" she smirked back.
