Are We Gonna Get Sued For This?!

ChapterOne: This Can't Be Happening.

 BETHS POV:

I heard a knock at the door around 3am, "this is late.."  I stood up and walked over to the curtains, i peeked round and i saw a man and a woman they looked like the police.. i heard a knock again so i decided to open it.. I walked into my mums room "Mum..?" i looked under the covers but she wasnt there, she'd been gone for 8 hours now, she only went to her friends for tea.. she said she'd be straight home.

I sighed and heard a third knock, this time with a shout "Hello? Mrs Shelley?!"  I knew i had to go down but i was scared, in my heart i already knew it was going to be bad news, I walked down the stairs step by step as i heard my heart pumping in my chest, it felt like it was about to burst out.

"Hello?"  I mumbled as i opened the door, i shivered slightly as i was in pajamma shorts and a baggy jumper.

"Hi sweetie, Im PC Zadie and this is PC Mitchell" The woman said in a sweet voice "May we come in?"  she asked, I nodded and opened the door wider in order for them to come in.

I closed the door behind them and walked into the lounge, we all sat down on the little sofa that me and my mother owned, my father passed away when i was 3 and i was an only child, so it was big enough for the two of us.

"We understand you live with just your mother? and your father passed away?" The male asked "Yeah?" I replied "We have very sad news for you, Your mother was involved in a huge car crash tonight at 10pm and were very sorry to say... she didnt make it" he said, I felt myself breaking down as i fell to the floor im 17 and ive lost both of my parents "NOOOOOOO!!!!!" i screamed, loud enough to wake up the whole street "Were so so sorry" The lady said whilest rubbing my back to comfort me as i cried.

After about 20 minutes i had calmed down a little bit and the Man explained what was going to happen "Right sweetie as your under 18 and you are going to have to be moved into a childrens home until 18 or until you can move out alone with a stable house and job, we're going to take you down there tonight and you can come back tommorow for your things" He said "should i get my things? like for tonight?"  He nodded and i ran upstairs grabbing a rucksack to take my stuff in.

I threw in my laptop, phone, chargers, teddy, and my Janoskians top and skinny jeans for the next day, i grabbed my make up and a hair brush, flicked off the light and walked downstairs "Im ready" i sniffled and went outside, locking the door and climbing into the car.

Not a word was said all the way there.. just silence as i stared out the window up to the stars. A tear ran down my cheek as i took everything in then i felt my phone buzz in my pocket, i pulled it out and noticed i had a text from Shannon it read "Hi princess, ive just seen about the crash on the news im so so sorry, ill come and see you as soon as i can i promise oxo" i replied "Hey babe, i feel so broken, and im getting moved to a childrens home as im under 18, but ill text you the address as soon as i know it, i miss you so much xox" She'd been my bestfriend for so long an had been there through thick and thin.

It began to rain as the police car pulled up into the drive, i looked up at the place and it looked quite nice i guess, i got out the car and turned to PC Zadie who was coming to take me in, i followed her up to the door and she knocked twice.

A old lady opened the door she looked about 68 "Hi hunny you must be Beth? come in" she seemed nice, i walked in with her. "I have to leave now but i will be coming back at around 12ish tommorrow afternoon to take you back for your things" She waved and got into the car. 

The old woman shut the door and took me into the kitchen "Take a seat hun, Im Linda and im going to look after you, im so sorry for your loss" she said as she put on the kettle and made a hot chocolate, she set it down infront of me and sat across from me "Thank You"  i said "I understand that its going to be weird living here now, but im sure you'll get on with the people, Theres 10 people that live here and 3 of them are boys, as your 17 you will be aloud some privallages that some people under 15 dont get, your aloud to stay up later and go out a little bit more often, but there are still going to be rules obviously, but its late so ill explain them another time.. come on ill take you up to your room"  She explained.

I picked up my hot chocolate and my bag and followed her up two flights of stairs and into a cute little room, it had cream walls with one wall wallpapered in a teal colour with cute little patterns on and a double bed with a cream and teal buttons bedding on, it had a white walldrobe, with a matching bedside table, computer desk and draws with a cute mirror on top and a teal, brown and cream carpet laid next to the bed and finally a nice big bay window with cream curtains.

I placed the mug on the bed side table and my bag on the florr and sat on the bed "Ill leave you to get some sleep, would you like me to wake you up at breakfast tommorow?"  i nodded and she walked out. i sighed, put my phone on charge and climbed into bed.

I lay and thought of everything that had happened.. i thought of my mum and how much i needed her, she was my rock, she was my world and it was all gone, my own mother.. i began to cry and pulled the teddy my parents had gotten me at birth and cuddled it tight, i continued to cry until i fell asleep.

*8:30AM THE NEXT DAY*

I was woken up by Linda gentally speaking "Beth sweetie, its 8:30 come down and get some breakfast?" 

I nodded and sat up as she opened my curtains...
