After what feels like forever we arrive in London England. We have a house in the east end of London. It's just big enough to fit all of us well everyone accept me I being given to my grandparents. Which I can't be more thankful for, I am going to live with my grandparents while the rest stay with my 'father' well that's not entirely true he still has rights over me and can force me to go back to his whenever he wants but for now I can't wait to meet my grandparents. I'm current sitting in a taxi waiting for the ride to end and be greeted by them. I thanks the driver and pay with the money that my father gave me. I step out of the taxi and get my small suitcase and walk up to the front porch where two old people are sitting looking at a paper.
"Hello" I say quietly
They both look up and the biggest smiles I have ever seen cover both of their faces
"Hello dear" the old lady says happily
"Look at how tall you are now" the old man says standing up and hugging me making me cry out in pain
"Oh I'm so sorry love, did I hurt you?" Pop says
"No no it's fine sorry" I say fake smiling
"Come on we have been waiting out here for you all day we're so excited" my pop says getting my bags and walking into the house
"You look so much like your mother" gran says making my eyes water and she takes my hand and leads my into the house. I walk in and instantly I feel like I'm home the house is very modern but old at the same time
"Wow this is beautiful" I say standing in the middle of the walk way admiring everything
"You act like you have never seen a home" my gran says laughing causing me to blush and sadly smile at her. I sit and then we talk and get to know each other and they tell all about how we were so close when I was younger and I was their little treasure, until my father stoped all contact with them and then they moved due to the heartbreak of not being able to see their grandkids.
"So I guess you would believe us when we say how shocked we were when your dad got....."
"Father" I correct my grandmother
"Um yes your father got into contact with us" she says pulling me to her side
"So who would like a cuppa?" My pop asks making me laugh
"No thank you" I say happily
"Yes please" gran says letting me go
"Is it okay I go and explore the house?" I ask
"And why wouldn't it be?" She says confused
"I don't know" I say then leave quickly and walk to the room connected to the lounge room. I push the door open and see that it is the dining room with a large wooden table in the centre with fancy wood and dark green chairs seated around it. On the far wall there is a whole collection of China and antiques. I then walk back into the lounge and out to the hallway which has photos all along it. Of photos of small children who I can guess only be us as kids then I walk into the other room opposite the lounge and find out it the kitchen with a bar connected to it and then the porch doors I then walk into the backyard and see a small garden with veggies and fruit growing and a shed with a soccer goal on the side of it and a clothes line. I walk back into the house to see a small bathroom under the stairs, I then walk upstairs to see it has three bedrooms, a bathroom, study, and a laundry room. I walk back into the second bedroom which is at the end of the hallway by itself and look around it again it's a simple bedroom with a bed in the centre of it a chair on the left hand side of it with drawers either side of the head of the bed and a small desk again the opposite wall of the door of the bed

Very simple but also fancy. I then sit on the bed and it's the softest thing I have ever felt and then fall asleep

Hour time skip

I wake up some how tucked into the bed. I brush it off and leap out the bed and go downstairs to the smell of food cooking
"Hello sleepy head" pop says ruffling my hair
"E'llo" I say smiling while rubbing my eyes
"Dinners ready if you want to go sit in the dining room, both of you" gran says as pop and I happily walk to the table which is already set for the three of us
"So you start school on Monday, are you ready?" Gran says as she hands us our dinner carrying all three plates
"I umm about that I don't have a uniform for it dad refused to buy me one" I say quietly
"That's okay will get you some tomorrow, how's that?" Pop says while stuffing his face with spaghetti
"That would be great thanks" I say laughing
"Scarlette" gran says
"Yes?" I say stabbing my fork into my pasta
"You know you can talk to us right?" She says looking over at pop then back to me
"Yes I do now, why?" I ask
"Well we would like to know why you are covered in bruises" gran says reaching out to take my hand but I pull back sharply
"I don't know what you are talking about?" I say trying not to choke on my food
"Scarlette please, if it your father we need to know" pop says sadly. I give in and tell them everything that he has done to me from the abuse to the dare I say it rape and the mental illnesses.
"Scarlette we are so sorry we should of never left you" gran says crying
"He dead I swear" pop says angrily with his fist clenched
"And he did all of this only to you?" gran asks
"Yes" I say looking down at my hands
"Allan we have to do something" gran says
"I know Ellie, I know" he says
"I'm sorry" I say crying
"Oh dear, you have nothing to be sorry for, if anything we should be sorry" pop says coming over to me and hugging me close to him as I cry into his arms. Last thing I know I'm being up into my room and gran and pop are talking in hushed voices
