Broken Together

Chapter 6: Give Up On Me

Dedicated to NicoleRankin1 thank you!!!!💙💜💚

"What the hell was that!?" Louis shouts at me as I lean against the wall trying to calm down

"I don't know I just got so damn angry!" I slam my first into the wall

"Not the punch that was amazing! I've wanted to do that for years!" Louis says laughing

"Louis!" Liam scolds him

"What?" I ask confused

"The talking or gibberish whatever that was! What the hell was that?"

"Gaelic. I don't know I do that a lot" I say calming down

"What happened?" Grendale asks with two doctors by his side

"There was a fight well sort of the therapist probably needs your help" Liam answers and one of the doctors goes in the room

"What happened?" He asks looking at me

"The damn therapist kept pushing me to talk about why I'm here and I told him I didn't want to but he kept pushing me so I kinda punched him a couple times" I say looking down

"Niall violence is not how you deal with things-"

"He kind of deserved it" Louis says

"Yeah he was being an arse" Harry adds

"C'mon Niall" Grendale says sternly "tell everyone to go to their classes Liam"

I sigh and follow him looking back at the boys. We go down to his office and I sit in front of his desk.

"Let me see your hand" I give him my bruised and bloodied left hand and be carefully wraps it in a bandage

"I have to call your social worker you know" he says as he finishes wrapping my hand

"Please don't get Maura involved I don't need my ass chewed out by the both of you" I sigh leaning back "and it wasn't my fault! I told the guy I didn't want to talk about it but he kept pushing me!"

"I understand Niall but violence is no way to solve conflict ever!" He reprimands me "I won't call Maura but on Tuesday we are going to have a meeting me,you, her and your personal counselor and talk and we will talk about this understand?"

I sigh "Why don't you you just kick me out?"

"What?" He looks shocked

"I've been here all of three days and I've already caused so much trouble why aren't you just telling IFCA to take me back?"

"Because Niall we aren't the foster care association. We aren't going to just move you to the next home." He tells me "but there are consequences to your actions Niall. So we'll discuss them  tomorrow"

"'Kay"

"Alright let's get you to your classes now" I stand and we go back up to the 3rd floor and go into the class room looking room and I sit at a table with Liam

"How's your hand?" He asks seeing it all bandaged

"Hurts" I answer looking down at my now purple fingers

The teacher I guess she is hands us all a paper with numbers all over it look at it so confused!

"Um mam?" I ask

"Yes?" She looks up from her desk and answers kindly

"What is this?" I ask

She looks at me like I'm insane "What do you mean it's algebra?"

"I-I don't know what that is" I admit and everyone looks at me weirdly

"C'mere" I stand up and go to the front of the room

"What year are you in lad?" She asks quietly enough for just me to hear

"I never went to school. I can read write and do simple math is all" she nods and hands me a marker

"Show me the most complex math you know how to do" I nod and take it and begin to write a division problem with my throbbing hand

"That's the hardest you can do?" I nod and she looks at me sadly

"Okay from now on during class I'll tutor you on your own alright?" I nod and she begins to teach me until class is over

"So what happened?" Louis asks as we walk down the hall to have free time until our private therapy sessions

"I learned some division?" I answer confused

"No with Grendale!" He says

"Oh ah nothing yet my ah mum is coming tomorrow and we're going to talk about it" I shrug awkwardly

We go out and Liam and I sit on the park bench again while Louis and Harry play football

"You don't have to sit with me Liam go play" I say honestly

"No I want to talk to about earlier" he says

"Look Liam I didn't question your episode or whatever it was in the cafeteria yesterday so just drop it"

"You're right you didn't and I appreciate that honestly! I'm not going to ask you about it I just wanted to say that you're a lot like me" he looks down and his hands

"What do you mean?"

"When I first got here I ran away multiple times, picked a fight with everyone I came in contact with and was just angry." He explains "I don't know why you're angry and I'm not going to ask cause from what I saw you have a wicked swing!" We both laugh "but it's cause your letting all your emotions bottle up inside you! Now I'm not saying you should be like Louis and spill you guts to everyone but you need something the channel your anger into"

"And what do you suggest?" I ask

He nods his head "c'mon"
