i HATE you

* Chapter 4*

I crept inside the house, preparing to be caught out. Lexi screamed.

"Who's there?" Called a voice that I'd never heard before.

A police man came to the door, where I was standing with Lexi, resting in my arms.

"And who might you be?" he asked concerned

"I'm Maya, Christian Jackson's daughter, and this here is Lexi, Jason Jackson and Christian Jackson's daughter also." I answered.

"oh," he said bewildered. "can I call your biological father, seen as Mr Jackson is to upset, to be taking care of you both tonight?"

I shook my head before saying "he's dead to."

"I'm sorry to hear that." He said a shock tone in his voice "Have you got any other siblings, we need to know if you do?"

"No, my twin sisters dead as well." I said shaking my head

He stopped after that, hoping not to offend me. All of a sudden I burst into tears. The man walked towards me, and rested his hand on my shoulder for comfort.

"now now." He said

"I'm sorry, I can't help it," I sobbed

"cry all you want dear."

I sniffed, and got a tissue to blow my nose with.

I followed the police man outside into a police car.

" my name's Tom by the way." He said

I smiled up at him." were are we going?" I asked

" to some foster cares, for the night."

"oh" I answered, feeling like I was the baby.

We pulled up outside a small cottage, with ivy growing up the side of the door. A small plump women came out of a red door. She came smiling towards us.

" hello lamb." She said taking Lexi away from me.

" where are you taking her?" I asked scared

" to get a bath. you to dear." She said pushing me inside.

I stood and watch as the police man drove off at high speed.

After me and Lexi were bathed and fed, I went to my bedroom, (that me and Lexi will be sharing tonight,) after kissing Mr & Mrs Little goodnight. I sat down on the end of my bed, the cream covers neatly placed without a single crease. I felt in my pocket and pulled out a piece of crumpled paper. I unfolded it, and saw the phone number Noah had given me. What harm would I be doing if I rang Noah? I walked onto the landing, we're a landline phone was. I typed in the number, which started failing. A man's voice answered.

" hello?" he said

"hi, it's Maya, I wondered if Noah was there?" I asked

" this is Noah, silly."

"really? you sound so different on the phone." I said

" yes really." He said with. laugh. "I'm sorry about your mother, by the way."

"How'd you know she was my mother?" I asked confused

"you have her eyes, and you told me your name."

"oh yeah." I said "it's ok, I'm ok, I'll pull through. After all, I have to loo after my little sister Lexi, she's only 18 months."

" you have a sister. Awww, I have a brother he's 20 months." He said

"That's nice, maybe they could meet." I said

"yeah I'd love that. Thank you." He joked

" not you, stupid."

" Haha, I was getting my hopes up then." He sighed

" I could make that an exception."

" yes I'd love too!" Noah said "if you want tomorrow we could meet, and go have a coffee?"

" love to. Thanks." I said surprised

" Ok, see you then." He said. "bye."

" bye."

" bye."

I put the phone down, a feel of pleasure, at last.

I snuck under my covers, feeling the golden trim on either side. My toffee tanned skin, I'd been working on for he hole summer, ran along it, homesickness came rolling in. How I miss my mum. I rolled over to be on my side, I like sleeping on my side best. One day I'd have to tell Lexi about our mother and are abusive dad, but I'd hoped to God I wouldn't have to be me.
