Chapter 7
Axel and I were sitting at his kitchen table, he made each of us some hot chocolate. Did I mention it's now midnight? "Okay, so I will now file the report to DCF and have you put under Kendal's care. Hopefully." he says and takes out his phone, stepping into the livingroom.
Axel came out about half an hour later. "Okay a social worker will come by tomorrow to speak with you. I suggest you turn on the water works for her. Just in case." he says. I nod. "And you won't be going to school tomorrow. Better warn your friends." he smiles. "Axel, I have no friends." I chuckle. "Okay, I'll set up the couch so you can sleep." he goes into the livingroom. I stay and update Lily on what's going on, though she isn't awake.
"You should probably get some sleep." Axel says, taking my empty mug into the sink. "Kay." I walk over to the couch and lay down. "Night kiddo." Axel kisses my head and leaves into his room. "Night, thank you." He smirks and closes his door.
"Get up." I felt my banket ripped off of me. I open my eyes and see Axel standing over me. I look at the cable box. 10am. Woah. "Get dressed, the social worker will be here in an hour." he says, I get up and go into the bathroom to get ready.
"Tessa! She'll be here in like 5 minutes hurry up!" Axel was banging on the door. I opened it and came out. "Sorry for making myself look presentable." I say sarcastically.
“It doesn’t matter how you look, the raggedy-er the better.” He says, quickly fixing up the living room to look nice. “Shoud’ve done that long ago Axel.” I chuckle and sit on the couch. “Oh shut up T – “ someone was knocking on the door. We both froze in fear for a second. Once he snapped out of it he opened the door.
A tall, thin black haired lady was standing there, professional pant-suit and all. She had a very angular face. She could’ve been a model. Why she chose to help dangerous and/or troubled kids is beyond me. “Hello, you must me Axel.” She smiles. He nods his head. “You’re going to need to step out because I need to talk to the child alone. We can’t have you interfering.” She whips out the sass stick. And my heart rate goes to about 122 to about 198. It’s beating so fast I can feel it in my throat.
“Okay..” Axel says and leaves the apartment. The social worker takes a chair from the table and sits across the coffee table. “Hello Tessa, I’m Charlotte McAdams. But just call me Charlotte.” She gives that same warm smile. “Hi.” I manage to choke out. I fold my hands in my lap to keep them from visibly shaking. “Don’t be nervous. I just want to talk about how you feel and your living conditions. But I can promise you, you will not be living with Kara. After this I also need to talk to Kendall, but between you and me – I’m gonna do whatever it takes to get you into his care.” She mumbles that last part. A small smile appears on my face. Finally, someone is on my side, someone useful.
