Chapter Four.

Henley.

"Henley! Wake up! Our new social worker will be here soon." Blaine exclaims from outside of my door. I groan and sit up, an ache in my shoulder. Probably from yesterday. What the hell was that? It was a scene right out of a movie. "Henley!"

"I'm up!" I sigh and get out of bed. I walk over to my mirror and immediately regret it. I had a dried up cut on my head. I brought my hand up and winced when it made contact with the cut.

I tried my best to clean it and cover it before even considering leaving my bedroom

I tried my best to clean it and cover it before even considering leaving my bedroom. When I did get into the living room, the social worker was already there. He turned when he heard my footsteps enter the room. His eyes widened for a moment before he collected himself and stood up.

"Hello. My name is Liam. You're Henley?" He questions and I nod. He smiles and shakes my hand. "It's very lovely to meet all of you. I don't know what Mrs Bellcock has told you all about me, but, I am happy to answer any questions that you may have." He says and Isla giggles.

"Are you single?" She asks while twirling a piece of hair between her fingers. I scoff and roll my eyes before heading into the kitchen. Blaine follows me in and I sigh.

"What's up, B? You've been weird since you came back from your run." She points out I shrug nonchalantly while getting a glass of orange juice.

"I'm fine. Just adjusting to living in a new environment." I lie and she nods, obviously buying it.

"We all are, but, we're get through this together." She says, wrapping her arms around me. I nod and follow her back into the living room. Liam was speaking to Isla and Hadley when we entered the living room. He spotted me and smiled.

"Ah! Henley. Can I speak to you a moment?" He asks and I nod and walk back into the kitchen. Liam sends me a comforting smile, but, I don't return it. "Henley, Mrs Bellcock told me about your upbringing and what had happened to you. To your parents." He says and I nod. "I just want you to know that I'm here if you need anything. That's what I'm here for." I nod and send him a small smile before leaving the living room.

If I was going to open up to someone, it wouldn't be him.
