Parents

Goodbye

Lucy and Tim arrived at the school, when Tim dropped her off he asked to collect Tamara from the office as well as a meeting with the principal. The two walked through the doors together, the last time they both were in the building together was when Lucy had caught Tam skipping which had led to one of their many arguments.

"Hi we are here to collect Tamara Bradford and we have a meeting with the principal." Tim explained to the receptionist.

"You can go straight through, Tamara is already in there."

They walked into the principals office and joined Tamara in the seats opposite him.

"U ok baby?" Lucy asked her.

"I'm fine,"

Lucy could tell Tamara wasn't as calm as she had been this morning,

Tim let Lucy explain everything to the principal, he just nodded along.

"We have managed to get her into a rehabilitation program,"

"Do u know how long she will be away from school for?" The principal asked.

"Not yet, they should know a rough time after the first week."

"Ok obviously Tamara has missed a lot of school so we don't want her to be too behind."

"Sorry what are u saying?" Lucy raised an eyebrow.

"We just don't want her to be away for too long."

"It will take as long as it takes, I'm sure u would rather her be clean instead of having someone on drugs around your school." Lucy gave a sarcastic smile.

"Understood, we look forward to seeing Tamara at some point."

"Yeah thanks bye." Lucy stood up and walked out.

Tim and Tamara followed her, they both found it pretty funny how Lucy put the principal in his place.

"Where is this place then?" Tamara asked while they walked to the car.

"Only in Hollywood, so we will be able to visit lots and we can take you out for the day." Lucy smiled.

"Alright, when am I going?" Tamara already knew it would be soon.

"Tonight baby."

"Ok, mom please can u come back to dad's to help me pack."

"Of course darling."

Tim drove silently towards his house,

"U ok babe?" Lucy put her hand on his knee.

"Yeah just thinking." Tim lied.

Once they had parked outside his house Lucy wanted to give Angela a quick update.

"You two head in I'll come in a sec." Lucy smiled.

After they left she dialled Angela's number.

A- hey Lu ur on speaker with Nyla
L- alright, we just got back to Tim's so we can get Tamara's things.
A- how are you all doing?
L- I will be ok, they are both very quiet
A- do you think Tim will be ok?
L- I really hope so, I was going to ask if he can stay round tonight?
A- of course Lu, just please keep the peace I don't want arguing
L- we will don't worry.
A- ok darling, I'm going to have to go because we are about to pull up at some guys house.
L- ok Ange, love u bye
A- bye Lu, love u

Lucy walked into the house and then into Tamara's bedroom. She had already almost finished packing her clothes.

"How can I help?" She asked joyfully.
