Rebbie's POV

I go into the living room and Janet is laying on the sofa, texting on her phone.

"You got some mail" I smile, handing her a large envolope. "What is it?" She frowns confused. "It was sent to you so I haven't opened it. Looks official though. Probably all the paperwork an information about Michael an Ocean having Mikey. They said you'd get copies of all that stuff"

"Oh" she mumbles and puts it on the coffee table. "Aren't you even gonna open it?" I frown confused "I'll read it later" she shrugs. "You don't wanna read it now? It has all the information you need about..."

"I already know what it says. Michael an Ocean already told me. They have Mikey and I dont. What does it matter when I read it!?" She snaps suddenly. "What's your problem?" I frown confused. "All I'm trying to do is explain that this stuff is important and you need to read through it so your understand what your rights are and stuff"

"I have no rights remember? They have custody and I don't and they made it pretty clear last time I was their that I have no rights" She frowns. "Is that was all this moping around has been about? Janet, the only reason they said you couldn't take him out again was because he's sick"

"Because of me" she mumbles. "I'm not suprised they don't want me anywhere near him"

"They never said that" I sigh slightly. "They just wanted to keep him home because he was sick. They never said you can't take him out again. They felt really bad about saying no and..."

"And how would you know?" She cuts me off "Because after you came back and told me what happened I called them and Ocean said that..."

"You called them!?"

"You were upset when you got back so I called them an I spoke to Ocean and she said..."

"Well you had no right to!" She snaps "Why are you acting like this? A few weeks ago you didn't even want anything to do with Mikey"

"I know that but..." She pauses then looks back at her phone "But what?"

"It doesn't matter now" she mumbles "well it does if your getting upset about it. I don't get it. One minute your upset because you didn't want Mikey and now your getting pissed off because you didn't get to take him out one day. Their doing you a huge favor doing this for you. They don't have to let you see him everyday. If they wanted to they could easily say no"

"Why are you even talkig to them anyway? You've always hated Michael" she shrugs "I don't hate him, he's my brother"

"You've never bothered calling him before" she shrugs "Because we've never gotten along, but that's got nothing to do with this. If your coming back upset then obviously I'm gonna call him and find out what's going on"

"Well don't!" She snaps "what the hell is your problem!? I'm trying to help you out here" I frown, getting annoyed with her. "I'm sorry" she sighs slightly "Can you please just not call them again... I'll deal with this myself"

"Fine... Deal with it yourself" I shrug, getting pretty sick of all this "Don't worry I will" she mutters and gets up off the sofa and goes to leave the room, taking the envelope with her

"Where do you think your going?"

"I'm gonna go to the libary. You've been going on at me all week about being behind on my school work" she shrugs. "make sure your home before dinner" I say and she nods and walks out without another word.

I understand that she's a 14 and like all teenagers she can get an attitude or just sit around being moody, but it's been like 3 weeks she's been here and she's either had an attitude or been up in her room and I'm getting really tired of all this.
