Chapter 3 - Apologies

Chapter 3 - Apologies

Hallie's POV:

After Mollie's outburst I got myself a cup of hot chocolate and sat at the dining table, considering what she had said. I was expecting an argument, she usually gets in trouble and without a doubt argues with me afterwards. Yet, this outburst shocked me to say the least, I feel so rotten about calling her a bratt but it was heat of the moment. She thinks no one can hear her crying and screaming when she turns the music up but oh how wrong she is. 

Its the saddest thing because she is in so much pain, emotionally, and she wont tell anyone because of this whole tough act she has built around herself. I pray every night that one day a family will come in and see she just needs to be loved and adopt her. She just wants to be understood and unfortunately I cant understand her, heaven knows I've tried but its so difficult. 

We have a lady coming in tomorrow or today rather, its now 3:00 am, says she has three sons already and just wants a little girl. I best get some sleep. 

I put my mug in the sink, wonder upstairs, climb into bed, close my eyes and let the sleep take over.

(Still Hallie's POV)

Im awoken at a more accptable time of 8:30 am, the lady looking to adopt will be here at around 11:00 I think she said. I hear the chaos that awoke me continuing to get louder so I rush downstairs. I follow the commotion of screaming girls to the Dining Area where I see an annoyed looking Mollie pinning down Bella about to throw a punch. 

"Girls stop this at once!" I yell whilst dragging Mollie up by her arms. I hold onto her and my grip tightens and she tries to get loose. Bella scrambles away upstairs and finally Mollie stops struggling. I turn her to face me.

"What was all that about?" I ask, she just stares at me as if I'm not speaking english and then her gaze falls upon the floor.

"Mollie, What was all that about?" I repeat myself growing impatient of her silence.  

She looks up at me again though this time her eyes are filled with sadness and a look I'd never seen before. Thats when she stumbles closer towards me and engulfs me in a hug. The crowd around us has disappeared and I pull her towards her bedroom, I take a seat on her bed and pull her into my lap, cradling her like a newborn. I hate seeing her this weak.

Mollie's POV:

"Mollie, What was all that about?" Hal repeats herself.

See, this morning when I went to grab a glass of water, I was faced with a tough decision. I saw Bella pushing and pulling at Robyn, I knew where this was going and I could hear Bella's friends laughing and encouraging it. I hate seeing Robyn get victimised so I walked straight over and shoved Bella. Next thing I know I'm pinning her to the ground screaming at her, pulling back my fist ready to punch. Of course Hal stopped me and now I'm here.

I look up at her, tears ready to fall, Im an emotional mess right now and I need to sort it out but all I want at the moment is Hal to hold me, so I tumble forward and hug her. I let the tears leak out and stain my cheeks while she pulls me into her lap, on my bed.

She cradles me whispering sweet words in my ear while I repeatedly apologise for last night. I hate poeple seeing me like this but its only Hal and she knows what I'm truly like anyway.

Once I've stopped crying Hal pulls me to my feet and stands infront of me. She places her hands on my shoulders and says "Right Mollie, we have a lady coming here in a few hours and she is looking to adopt , get yourself cleaned up and dressed because it might be your chance."

"I doubt it Hal," I laugh, she smiles and starts walking away, then I remember "Hal!" I call, she turns around,

"Yes, Mol?" She replies

"Im really really really sorry about last night, can we forget it all?" I plead 

"What happened last night?" She answers, throws me a wink and walks off.

I go to my room and sigh with relief. Time to return to being a bitch I think. Moments like just now are rare, I still want the others to respect me and I want to keep my rebel side. 

I hear Pierce The Veil on the radio and turn it up, as loud as it will go. I pull on a pair of black skinny jeans, throw on a tank top that says 'Fuck You!' and put a black beanie on my head. I wash my face, re-do my make up, put in my lip ring and brush my hair, meaning I have to take off my beanie and then put it back on. I stand infront of my mirror and smirk. The doorbell rings.

Im back and just in time to meet this lady.
