Tw: slight abuse

Siobhan sat down in Marjorie's chair, Marjorie had a bit of a heavy weekend out for a friend's birthday and was hung over. Siobhon had to cover as Autumn couldn't handle the all the paper work today, especially as all the payments and new updates for all the children were due today. Siobhan liked autumn but she knew autumn didn't like her. Afterall, she was the same age as autumn yet dating her father; not with much joy or pleasure but still. Siobhan thought to herself,

'what do you expect, just get on with your work'

as she begins to type a knock on the door echos in the room. A women with short dark hair and blue stripped shirt walked in, she was beautiful, a warm smile grew across Siobhan's face, didn't even know who this women was yet found herself feeling happiness just at the sight of her, she hadn't felt joy like this in a long time, strange. Siobhan shook this feeling off and was about to speak when autumn stood up and said

A: "sorry excuse me, must bother Agatha for a moment" she looks over to the women "morning Vivian"

Vivian? Such a pretty name, matches her well.

V: "uh hi! We haven't met before im Vivian! I'm the newest parent, just moved here"

Siobhan looks up and looks at Vivian but doesn't say anything, just looks back to her computer and begins typing once again, she thinks
'why didn't I say anything'
and rushes to say something but cut off by Vivian

V: *chuckles awkwardly* and you are..??

S: im Siobhan, im just covering here

V: well lovely to meet you Siobhan! Here is Jamie's new medical form and I will give you his fees at the end of the day as I have to rush off or I'll be late!

S: see you later.

————————

*at the end of the day Charlotte walks in with a small child wrapped around her side, black hair, blue eyes, Siobhan recognised this and thought of the parent she had met this morning

S: who is this? The nursery shut half an hour ago

C: this is Jamie, Vivian's son

S: what is he still doing here?

C: Vivian must be late, I tried ringing but went straight to voicemail

S: so call the other contacts then?

Siobhon says with a annoyed tone

C: she doesn't have any, she has no family and is new to town

Siobhan snaps slightly as fear of her being late home sets in-
"i know that was meant to pull on a few heart strings but all it does it irk me that we have to wait longer! "

C: "funny to assume you have heartstrings"and walks out with a chuckle

S: when did Charlotte get so feisty?

——————————

Another half an hour passed and Siobhan is getting frustrated, she is over 1 hour late.

Vivian rushed in.

V: hi! Oh my god I'm so sorry I'm so so late

S: *Siobhan feels happy to see her, strange, she thinks to herself, 'why am I not mad?'
Regardless she puts on a stern face and turns around

S: "you are over an hour late! Why could you possibly be this late!"

V: cardiac arrest. Im a nurse, I'm sorry my phone died so I decided to dash here instead of charging it.

S: well I will wavier the late fee just this once, Jamie is with Charlotte.

V: sighs* thank you Siobhan, here is Jamie's payment, sorry again

Vivian walks out, she wouldn't normally like someone who was stern but she sensed a spark of friendship between them, she smilied and walked down the hall and heard a bang.

————

Siobhan feels a wave of guilt carry over her and sits back down to shake off this feeling, she has done some horrible things yet this makes her feels guilt? strange. Suddenly a hand grabs her shoulder and flings her against the wall, Roger.

R: Why are you so late.

S: I'm sorry! Roger, a parent was late

Roger grabs her waist and Siobhon gasps loudly catching the attention of someone.

R:"you disobeyed me, don't give me that excuse, no parent is here, you are gonna pay"

as he digs his nails into her skin as she bits her slip trying not to make a sound, that would just make him more irritated.

R: you're lucky to have me and you directly disobey me? Don't do it again, let's go. Now.

He grabs her wrists and drags her out and down the hall to the car

Siobhon looks around and could have sworn she saw movement in the corner of her eyes but she just thought it was her eyes playing tricks on her. Little did she know, Vivian was only round the corner, concerned.
