Chapter 5: An Unexpected Turn

 ~Arielle's POV~ 

Wes and I came back from our date, I had no idea we would be coming back to chaos or else I wouldn't have come back at all. As soon as we pulled up in front of his house, I saw the cop cars across the street at my house. 

Oh my goodness what did my dad do? "Bella!" I unbuckled my seatbelt and ran out of Wes's car across the street where I saw a cop holding my little sister. "BELLA!" "Ms please stand back." "Excuse me? Can you please tell me what's going on!"

"Well your dad has been driving under the influence. He drove us right back to the house like an idiot. I can see you and your little sister are not living in a good environment so-" I cut him off immediately knowing what he was about to say.

"No please sir..We can't go to foster care...They will seperate Bella and I! I'm the only one she has, she needs me! I need her...Please you can't do-" "I'm sorry kid, you can't stay here with your dad he is going to be going to jail this is his third strike."

"I'm almost eighteen, then I can take care of Bella and I! Please sir please don't do this to us.." I pleaded with the officer as tears started rolling down my cheeks.

"The social worker is here, she is coming over to talk to you. I'm sorry this is for the best." He handed Bella too me and my heart sank. 

Bella and I were about to be seperated. She would be living in a home full of children she didn't know. She would be scared, and she wouldn't be able to see me everyday like she was used to.

I stroked her hair and told her everyrthing was going to be alright. "Hello, Arielle it is?" "Yes." I refused to look into the social workers eyes, I was just staring at the floor.

"I'm Mrs.Tangten, I need to talk to you." "Oh you want to tell me how you are going to take me away from my home? Seperate Bella and I? Save it. I have heard it before." I looked up and she was just standing there with her mouth open.

"You have one day to pack your things. I will be here tomorrow to pick you up at twelve sharp so please be ready. I'm so sorry this is happening to you." She walked off leaving me stuck in my own thoughts. 

Tomorrow Bella and I were being taken away from each other, tomorrow a new life was going to begin. Once again I was being put in foster care, I had been put in it twice before. It was before Bella was born.

She was going to be so scared, I wasn't even worried about me. I was just worried about her, I was so scared to lose her. I was the closest thing she had to a mom and tomorrow I was getting ripped from her reach. 

About an hour later all the police had finally left leaving Bella and I standing in our front yard. It wasn't our front yard for even that long. Why did my dad manage to screw everything up for me? Everything was going so perfectly with Wes and now this? 

I was never going to be happy, I wanted Bella to at least be happy but at this point I don't even know if it was remotely possible. We walked into the house and I set her on her feet. I had to explain to her what was going to happen tomorrow.

This was going to be the toughest conversation I was going to have with my baby sister. "Bella we need to talk." "About what?" I sighed mentally preparing myself for the next thing I was going to say.

"I need to talk to you about with what just happened. Bella dad was caught doing a bad thing, they are taking him away." I could see the fear in her eyes, tears started to well up in her gorgeous blue eyes.

"What did he do?" "He was being very irresponsible..But Bella I need to tell you about what is going to happen to us now.." She looked up at me clearly very confused. "What do you mean?"
