"SJ get down the stairs your gonna be late for school!" Georgie yelled up the stairs .SJ tried her best to ignore her but the yelling continued "Alright I'm coming don't have a cow!" SJ replied as she came down the stairs in her school uniform. She rolled her skirt up to her mid thigh and sat down to eat breakfast, "SJ babe remember your going to grandmas house after school." SJ stared at Georgie and retorted "but I Want to see dad!"
"No your not seeing him SJ."
"Just because your miserable you had to make my life miserable too!"
"Sapphire-Jade that's enough!" SJ rolled her eyes her mum was being so unfair, she picked up her school bag and walked towards the door "I'll pick you up from grandmas later."
"Whatever...." I mumbled.
             I got to school, *normal day , boring lessons ya da ya you know the drill*. The Bell went for the end of school. I Waited in the bus Queue, I got on sat in a window seat and started out the window, we slowed to the stop near to the army barracks  she thought to her self 'don't do it SJ, well maybe just to pop in for ten minutes?' She got off the bus and started walking into the barracks. A stern Voice approached her "Excuse me Miss, Can I enquire why your here?" She look the man up and down "I'm here to see my dad, Elvis.... Elvis Harte." He looked stunned
"I....I...I didn't realise Elvis had a kid" he stammered, he lead me towards my dads Elvis and he knocked on the door "Sir a Miss Harte is here to see you." Elvis looked shocked as I strolled through the door. "Ello Dad." He sighed "SJ you know your not supposed to be her, your mum would go mad if she knew."
"But Why dad!"
"SJ you know I'm going to have to tell her."
"Dad please I just want to see you!"
"Babe I know you do , but this isn't the right way to go about it."
"Can't I just stay for a little bit?"
"Okay a little, but I need to quickly take a phone call." 5 minutes later my mum burst through the door "mum!how did you know I was....... you ratted me out!"
"SJ I thought I told you to go to grandmas!"
"Babe I told you it's not the right way to go about it!"
Tears Prickled SJ's eyes "Why is no-one ever on my side" SJ ran out the door and across the yard to the canteen she bought herself a soda and just stared into space "SJ?You alright?" She stood up "stand easy SJ" she sat again "How's it going uncle Charlie?" He smiled "that's captain James to you" he smiled weakly "you came here to see Elvis didn't you." I nodded he put his arm round me "so has your Mum told you about Kenya?" I looked at him bewildered "Kenya?" Before captain James could speak he was cut off by Georgie walking in "SJ we're going home come on Jamie has dinner on the go" (Jamie was my mums boyfriend he's a doctor) I sat in my mums car silently, she looked at me "so how was school?"
"When where you going to tell me about Kenya?" Surprise crosses her face
"Who told you......Captain James!" I nodded "it's just a 6 week humanitarian mission SJ"
I looked at her "so am I staying with dad?" "You know you can't , your staying with Jamie." I looked at her "no I'm not , your not leaving me with him!" My mum just looked at me "it'll give you some time to bond with Jamie before the wedding.... anyway it can't be that bad!" I shook my head
"I'm coming with you I'm not staying here!"
Georgie sighed "fine, fine you can come, at least then I can keep an eye on you!"
