Chapter 3

Lola's POV

My checkup turned out to be; MRI scans, x-rays and an ultra scan. This was to see if everything was alright. The results came back, they were worse that I thought. I had two fractured ribs, bruising on the bone and mild concussion. The nurse said I have to stay in hospital for one week, meaning no moving! My dad was coming back tonight, the police said they were going to arrest him, on child abuse and attempted murder. It's about 9pm now, I'm really comfy, since I haven't slept on a real bed for six years! I gradually doze off into a pleasant sleep.

-

Awakening from my slumber, I see two police officers, a nurse and three smartly dressed people. I wondered why there are here?

"Lola, there are some people here to see you. I have left a cereal bar and a glass of water on the side for you, I will be back in ten minutes, if you need anything just shout." The nurse kindly spoke and gave me a smile.

"Lola Rose Parker," a tall man stepped forward, he was wearing police uniform, the bullet proof vest and all, "we have some news about your father." His deep voice uneasy and loud.

"Yes." I crooked, showing my fear for the one person I should love.

"Well, last night we returned to your house and found him drunk laying across the sofa. We proceeded with the arrest, but this morning when he awoke, he denies it all."

"Www.....whaaat?" I stuttered out. How can he deny it? I don't understand.

"I know it's a lot to take in but we have proof that he, how to put it, hurt you. We can put your father into jail and he won't be able to hurt you again. All we need now is you permission Lola." He finishes.

"But what will happen to me? I have no relatives!" This is to much to take in. It's only the morning. Glancing over to the clock on the wall, I read ten o'clock, already!

A women wearing a knee hight skirt, white blouse which was tucked in, mid height heels and a black blazer stepped forward carrying a clip board.

"Lola, this is where I come in. I am a social worker......"

"NO! I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO CARE PLEASE!" I rudely interrupt.

"Lola, please calm down, you don't have to go into care, now please just listen, okay?" She calmly remarks.

Another women steps forward and takes a deep breath.

"Lola, I'm Sarah. Your mother was my sister." What the hell! My mother had a sister? Why didn't anyone tell me? This is confusing, I go from having no family, to a whole new branch off the family tree!

"Officers, social workers, could you please give me and Lola some time so I can explain?" Sarah asks.

"Of course m'aam." The two officers grant her wish and walk out of the room.

"Sure, we'll just be outside." The social workers close the door behind them.

"Lola, I have so much to explain, please hear me out, I know it may be out of the blue, but I have tried looking for you and your father but have had no luck." She finishes and I nod letting her know to continue.

"When you were born I was living in America, I heard the news about your mother and flew straight over. Your father wouldn't let me attend the funeral or see you. After that we lost contact, I tried calling, I even came to England to search for you, like I said I had no luck. When I heard about this incident I came back. I knew you had no family and thought, just maybe, just maybe you would come and live with me in America? I know it's a lot to take in one day, but at least think it through, I don't want to loose you again and it would be a fresh start, please just think about it?" Sarah asks. My mind fills with questions. Wow I can't believe I have an aunty! I would love to go to America. I need a fresh start, why would I turn that down! Thinking done.

"I would love to come to America with you, it's just I don't know if I would be allowed." I sigh.

"Of course you will be able to, that's why the social workers called me, they knew you didn't want to go into care!" I can see her excitement growing in her eyes.

The door swings open and the two social workers prance in.

"Sorry, we just happened to over hear your conversation, Lola we can sort it all out transfer you to a new school and everything." The women speaks again.

"I would love to." I finish and can feel butterfly's in my stomach.

I won't be frighten of what the future holds. Since this is a new start. No more lying or hiding.
