Kate's Pov
They dragged me. I struggled, I had no idea where they were taking me. I didn't want to leave. What if Mum came back, and I wasn't there? She needed me! I needed to help her cook. Millie had left years ago, she no longer came and saw me. I needed to talk to someone, but at school I couldn't tell anyone. I knew they would take me away. I couldn't let that happen.
" Come on Kate." The woman said as she led me into my room.
I scowled at her.
" Collect the bare minimum of things."
I looked around my room, taking down my Harry Potter posters, my books, the rest of my Harry Potter shrine and my teddy bear Sarah. I collected my laptop and my phone and also slipped them into my bag and collected my pair of jeans and my few t-shirts, my trainers, and my hair and tooth brush and a few sticks of deodrant.
" Is that it?"
I nodded, not showing any emotion. It wouldn't be long, I knew I would be able to go home soon. I had no idea where she was taking me, but I knew she was from the social, and that was enough to tell me that she believed I couldn't cope by myself. I was doing fine though, really. I had my things that I needed, and a microwave where I could cook meals, what else would I need?
She led me from the flat and into a red car sat by the curb, and I didn't say anything. She started the engine, and we drove away, and I stared back at the flat before we disappeared around the corner. She continued driving, and I drifted out. I drifted out and when I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I realised that we were there.
She passed me my bags, and led me into a massive house, and I stared up at it. It was massive, and I could hear some slight noise coming from inside, and I froze. She turned to make sure I was following, and she led me into the house.
" Who's that?" Was the first sound that reached my ears.
I turned to look at them slightly, keeping a clear expression. The woman ignored them, and led me into a small office. There were two people sat in there, and the man came over to me and shook my hand.
" Mike Milligan." He introduced me.
I didn't reply.
" This is Kate Patter." The woman introduced me.
" Well, Kate, it is nice to meet you, you shall be having your own room,"
I nodded my understanding.
" Right, I will lead you to your room."
I nodded.
" Wait, Kate I brought some things from your Mum's room. Photos." She said.
I nodded my gratitude. I knew I wasn't going to be here long, surely. I just had to wait for my Mum to arrive home, and then I would be easily able to go home.
" Kate, we have some paint, and we want to paint your room, what colour do you want it?" Mike asked.
" But, I'm not staying."
" Kate, your Mum has been told she is not able to look after you, not fit enough, you can't stay with her, you'll be staying with us here."
" Blue." I said simply.
" Okay, I will help you paint it soon."
" Thank you."
He led me upstairs, and into a room at the end of the corridor. There was some bedding on the bed, and it was blue, which made me slightly happier. I sat down on the bed, and he sat down next to me.
