Rehab

Lucy woke up the next day, she laid in bed thankful it was her day off. She could not be bothered. She walked into the kitchen still in pyjamas to see Tamara eating breakfast beside Jack.

"What's going on?" Lucy asked curiously.

"Tim got called into work in the middle of the night so dropped Tam off here." Angela replied.

"So she slept here?"

"Yeah, on the couch."

"He's so useless honestly."

"Luce, don't."

"No Ange u don't get it, he called me incompetent and now look."

"Lu I get ur annoyed, maybe give him a call later, I've got to get them to school. I'll see u after work."

"Bye."

Lucy was fuming with Tim, she felt like storming into his office and screaming at him. How dare he say all those horrible things about her being incapable of looking after tam yet Angela has had to step in two days in a row.

After they had all left Lucy got ready for the day, she curled her hair and worse a black denim skirt with a red sweater. She had no clue where she was going to go or what to do. So she decided to help Angela out by cleaning the house and running some errands. It was around midday when she got a call.

On the phone:

"Hello?"

"Hiya this is the school calling, regarding ur daughter Tamara."

"Oh yes, what's she done now?"

"Well, she got into a fight with another student."

"Is the other student ok?"

"She's got a nose bleed so her mums going to try pick her up, could u come and collect Tamara please."

"I'm actually not allowed to, her dad has full custody."

"Oh, we couldn't get hold of him."

"I'll make some calls to see if I'm able to get her and I'll let u know."

Lucy then called her lawyer to see if she would be able to collect Tamara due to it being an emergency. Lucy's lawyer agreed and Lucy made her way to the school. She was so angry.

As she pulled to the front of the school she spotted Nyla entering the building. Lucy jumped out of her car and went inside. She told the receptionist she was here for Tamara and took a seat next to Nyla while she waited.

"Hey Nyla, u ok?"

"Not really, someone punched Lila in the nose. Honestly some of the kids at this school. Anyway why are u here, I thought u wasn't allowed to see Tam?"

"Oh god I hope Lila is ok. Oh crap."

"What Luce?"

"Tam beat someone up. What if-"

"Lucy, surely it wouldn't have been Lila?" Nyla put her arm round Lucy, she could see the panic in her face.

"No what if she did."

"Then we will sort it out."

Just then Lila was brought out with bloody tissues over her nose. Nyla jumped up to give her a hug.

"Baby girl, are u ok? Who did this to u?" Nyla asked while hugging Lila tightly.

"Tamara." Lila replied nervously as she could see Lucy sat on the other side of the room.

"Crap."

Nyla went back over to Lucy, she was so angry but not at Lucy. But she couldn't keep as calm as she needed to.
