Bright's girl

Chapter 20

Charlie's mum pov :

As soon as Charlie leaves the room I break down in tears, I have officially become my mother something that I never wanted to happen. Carson just hugs me rubbing my back I'm so glad he's back because I'm really struggling right now, we stay like that for a minute then he lets go obviously wanting me to explain what had happen but nothing comes out of my mouth, just more tears spilling out of my eyes down my cheeks.

Carson : darling tell me what's happened I'm getting worried
Charlie's mum : I-i hh-it her
Carson : hit who ?
Charlie's mum : c-Charlie
Carson : why did you hit her that's not like you, you never wanted to be like your mother
* getting annoyed *
Charlie's mum : s-she hasss been horrible to Maisie
Carson : how so , surely not that our little girl she wouldn't do that
Charlie's mum : * takes a deep breath * she been calling her horrible things and telling her that she isn't allowed to stay here with us
Carson : what has she been calling her ?
Charlie's mum : that her mum dosent actually want her , an that she doesn't care that her dad abused her , also that she looks like chicken bones and that she's the only reason she living here is because I want her to she said all this behind her back to this girl called sofia
Carson : * shocked * is Maisie ok
Charlie's mum : I'm not sure she want to be put into a foster home, her dad and step mum go to court in 2 week and until then she not allowed to go and live with her mum
Carson : ok so is that the reason you hit her ?
Charlie's mum no, the reason I slapped her is because she said that I was handing everything to Maisie on a plate and was always shouting at her, and that I don't care about her which isn't true obviously and Maisie want to be in a foster home bye tomorrow night they have a game tomorrow a-swell
Carson: right, so why don't you go and take 5 minutes to yourself and ring the social worker and tell her that Maisie wants to go into foster care and u will go and check on both of the girls
Charlie's mum : ok
* hugs Carson *
Carson : I love you babe
Charlie's mum : i love you I'm so glad your home
Carson : me too

Charlie's pov :

Towards the end off Maisie rant my dad walks out of the kitchen into the hallway were Maisie is sat on the bottom step, tears running down her cheeks and I'm lent against the wall with a red hand mark on my cheek.

Carson : Charlie go up to your room please
Charlie : why
Carson : because I said so up to your room please I won't ask you again
Charlie : fine
* as I walk up the stairs I shove Maisie out the way with my foot *
Carson : Charlie Leigh you are making this worse for yourself, you know we don't hit in this family
Charlie : * laughs * for 1 she * points to Maisie *
Is not family and for 2 maybe you should tell mum that
Carson : ROOM NOW

I huff and stop the rest of the way up the stairs and got to my room making sure to slam my door really loud, I'm already in so much shit might as well get into more.

Maisie's pov :

I kind off come out on the conversation between Charlie and mr Leigh as I'm trying to keep my breathing level so I don't go into a panic attack.
I can hear muffled talking and a loud beep in my ear . Charlie stormed up the stairs not before she shoves me with her foot which is fine because it didn't hurt that much. I'm still zoned out up until I hear mr Leigh raise his voice which makes me my ears feel like they pop and I flinch a bit as he has the same shout that my dad had so I was a bit shocked to hear it after not hearing it for so long.

Carson : Maisie are you ok
Maisie : mhm
Carson : come on let's go into the living room so I can talk to you
Maisie : ok

I walking into the living room  because i don't want to get shouted at for not listening so I just follow him in even though I don't feel welcome anywhere in this house anymore.

Carson : what happened to make you and Charlie fall out yous are normally attached at the hip
Maisie : * you shrug your shoulders * I'm not sure probably finally got sick of me
Carson : don't say that who's this girl that she talks to about you behind your back
Maisie : sofia
Carson : do you and sofia get on
Maisie : no we argue all the time
Carson : well we need to sort this because you two never fall out
* says in a soft voice *
Maisie : she dosent want the friendship to carry on which is fine I just want to be put into foster care tonight please
Carson : has she said that she dosent want the friendship to carry on?
Maisie : yeah she said it just before you came out the kitchen
Carson : did she say anything else ?
Maisie : * looks down because she dosent want to get Charlie into more trouble *
Carson : Maisie if she has said more nasty things to you I need to know so tell me please if she has
Maisie : she dosent want me on the football team anymore but that's ok
Carson : it's not ok I will sort this don't yous have a game tomorrow
Maisie : yeah but I don't feel welcome on the team anymore Charlie and sofia made it clear so I'm not gonna go back, I just want to be in a foster home tonight please
Carson : mrs Leighs on the phone to the social worker now
Maisie : thankyou
