Sarah's POV

I had been packed off to a care home after my father had died, the police never found my mother, and honestly I didn't care.

I woke up and it was 8:00am, so I did my usual morning routine, I went downstairs and saw some of the children, including my bff Frances, he was a tall, black boy with a grade-three haircut, Frances was the only one I could count on to keep my secret relationship between Sean and I from spilling out.

I sat next to him and he gave me a nice smile, "sup Sarah?" He said cheekily, it was his catchphrase, I loved it when he said that, Frances took care of me while I was here, he was two years older than me, his parents had abandoned him and this care home was practically his home.

I made myself some breakfast and when I sat down, more of the kids here came and sat at the table, a big boy named Dennis came and sat next to me, I was in the middle of him and Frances.

"Morning Sarah" he greeted, I liked Dennis, but we never really talked much, "hi Dennis, how are you?" Dennis beamed nd have me a manly slap on the back, that was how he greeted everyone, "I'm great! Thank you Sarah" I just chuckled and went back to eating.

10 minutes later

I walked to school and ran into Sean, literally, I actually ran into him and he caught me in his arms "hey" he said.

He tightened his grip on me and I laughed "okay Sean you can let me go now" Sean chuckled, "I don't wanna" he whined teasingly, I laughed and rested my head on his chest, he kissed my forehead and we pulled away "wanna walk with me?" I asked, Sean nodded, "yup".

As we walked, I thought about what had happened to my parents, and what kind and Sean's relationship would be like in school, Sean placed a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it lightly "what's wrong?" He asked me, I looked up at him "oh Sean, after you left I went into my house and found that my mother was gone and Dad was dead." .

Sean moved closer to me "I'm sorry for your loss, but I can see that something else is bugging you", I sighed and confessed "Sean, I've been thinking about what people at school would think if they found out that we're a couple", Sean held my hand "well, maybe it's better to keep it a secret".

I nodded and tightened my grip on his hand, I didn't want him to leave me, I wanted him to stay with me, but we had just got to school and we split apart "see you at break time?" I asked, Sean nodded and walked off, I walked into school and to my first classroom.

all day I kept thinking about him, and my dad, I had been so selfish to my dad, I left him when he needed me the most, at lunchtime my friend Rebecca came and sat next to me, "what's wrong Sarah?" She asked me.

I confessed everything to Rebecca and she frowned "it sounds like your mother is to blame for your dad's death, it wasn't your fault Sarah.".

I smiled a little "thanks Rebecca, I need to tell you another thing, I'm in love with Sean Flynn" Rebecca looked shocked "the bully?" I wanted to stand up for Sean and say "he isn't a bully anymore" but I figured that Sean would want to keep that a secret.

Throughout lunch time, I heard whispers of "no way" and "are Sarah  and Sean really a couple?" I was shocked, who could have told the secret, at playtime an angry Sean came towards me "are you serious?!" He asked "you told everyone our secret? How could you?" I stepped back, eyes widened, "no Sean I didn't, I swear I didn't.".

"don't lie to me!" Sean shouted "I thought you were different Sarah, I guess I was wrong" and he stormed off, I was shocked and hurt, shocked that someone must have heard us as we were walking to school, and hurt that Sean thought it was me.

I walked home and Sean didn't walk with me, all day was spent trying to find out who blurted out our secret, I walked towards the cafe home and saw my career waiting for me,

"Hello Sarah" the carer, Mrs Cole, I sighed and looked up at her, she had taken care of me throughout the past weeks in the care home, "hi Mrs Cole, I've had a hard day so can I just go to my room?".

" Oh, well I have some great news! We found a carer to take you in, we got in contact with your older brother Hector, he'll be coming click you up in an hour" Mrs Cole told me.

I was surprised, "oh, well I will miss you Mrs Cole" I looked at her and gave a sad smile and a small chuckle , "can I have a hug?" I asked, Mrs Cole chuckled, "sure think kiddo" and then we embraced".

I went inside to find Frances, I went and sat next to him on the sofa, he looked over at me and smiled, "sup Sarah?" He's loved saying that.

"I'm sad right now, I was just thinking about my dad, and I worry that my mother will come after me", Frances tilted his head and smiled sadly, "aw, come here Payton" Frances held out his arms and I went over and we hugged, Frances was a good hugger, he had a tight grip, but not too tight.

He stroked my back, "there, there" he mumbled, then we pulled away and Frances have me that smile I've always loved.

"I'm going to be going soon" I told him, Frances tilted his head and frowned, "who's taking you in?" He asked, crestfallen, "my brother's coming to pick me up, I'm going in an hour".

"Oh....well I'm going to miss you" he said quietly, I sighed and smiled sadly, "need another hug?" Frances nodded and smiled , "yeah...." And once again, we embraced .

1 hour later

I waited outside the care home with my suitcase for my brother, and sure enough, I saw him in his yellow car, he parked up and smiled, he was a tall man with ginger hair, he was twenty and I was three years younger than him "hi little sis!" He exclaimed.

I waved at him and gave a sad smile "chin up sis" he told me, and I walked around his car, put my suitcase in the boot then went to climb into the other side of the driver's seat.

I closed the car door and and put on my seatbelt, I looked at Hector "cheer up sis, you should be glad to live with your big brother" he then patted my leg and he drove off, I just saved at everyone in the care home, and they saved back.

"So what's wrong?" Hector asked, I couldn't help it, I burst into tears and explained everything to him, he stroked my back as I wiped away my tears "I'm so sorry" he said, "I'll miss Dad, and I'll never forgive Mom.

We drove for a half hour until we stopped at a house, Hector's house, I got out of the car and carried my suitcase to the house, Hector opened the door and said "welcome to my humble abode", Hector showed me up to my new bedroom and helped me unpack, then I chilled out in my new room until dinner time.

Sean's POV

I walked home, I couldn't believe that Sarah spilled the beans, I thought I could trust her, when I stopped at my house I heard shouting from inside, it was my parents, they argued a lot, I opened the door and decided to spy on my parents from outside the living room.

"I can't believe you cheated on me with this pile of trash!" Mom shouted at my stepdad as she pointed at a strange woman with ginger hair " well sorry Rita but she gives me better sex, you were always weak!".

I realized that when I visited Sarah, I saw a picture of a woman with ginger hair like the one on the stranger in my house, so I guessed that the woman could be Sarah's mom, as Sarah's parents also cheated, then I put two and two together, my stepdad and Sarah's mom must be going out with each other! I exclaimed in my head.

I saw my stepdad smirk "you know what Rita, I'm sorry about this, so why don't we hug it out" then to my horror, my stepdad wrapped his arms around Mom, lifted her up from her feet, and started squeezing her, tighter, and tighter...
