Cheryl's Pov-
"
"Cheryl you gotta wake up."Sarah's voice awakes me from my sleep .

"Ugh go away ." I moan

"Cheryl I'm serious wake the fck up !"

"Ughhh what is it I'm hungover and feel sick and it's .... 8:46am what the hell ?"

"She went to the store and brought back food and a paper and she showed me the front page and then her phone rang and she went and answered it and then 5 minutes later she came back crying and she won't stop , I'm not good with kids so you've got to get up ." she rambles

"Wowowow , what's on the front page and who are you on about ? " I croak , very hungover .

"You and me and Cordelia the girl you brought home last night ."

"I brought a girl home oh my god what did I do ? Kimberley will definitely flip , especially if it's all over the papers and ....

"Cheryl shut up , it's not what you think , she is a teen who we found kicked out by her parents last night and we took her in , as for the paper we will sort that later , now come help me get her to stop crying ."

I follow her to the downstairs bathroom where I hear the taps running and someone crying .

"Try get her to come out ." Sarah whispers and then walks away .

I knock on the door and ask her to let me in .

"I-Im so s-so s-sor-ry t-two sec-conds ." she sniffles

A few minutes later a girl with brown hair and greeny/blue eyes as the complexion of an angel emerges from the bathroom . It's obvious she's been crying , she mutters sorry before trying to walk past me but I stop her .

"Hey what's wrong ... pet ." I ask forgetting her name .

"My parents called and they've told me to never come back ." she begins to sob again .

"Shhhh it's okay , it's okay ." I try comfort her . I pull her in for a hug and she tenses up but then relaxes . After her sobs die down I take her into the living room and get to know a bit about her .

"I'm sorry pet , I don't remember your name , I was that drunk last night I don't remember a lot ."

"It's Cordelia , thanks for letting me spend the night Cheryl , I've just got to get my bag and then I'll be out of your hair ." she smiles before going to stand up .

"No need , you can stay aslong as you need to." I smile

"It's a lovely offer Cheryl and I appreciate it but you have your own life and I don't want to intrude ."

"Hey I'm staying for a while so we can intrude together ... pancakes anyone ? "Sarah interrupts

Kimberley's Pov-

To say Amy was shocked about what I told her was an understatement , we had to leave because she started crying and couldn't stop ,she was also angry at the fact I haven't took legal action but I explained to her if i take legal action so will they against Cheryl . Speaking of whom I haven't spoken too in days . After seeing her with Sarah I decided to stop calling and let her call me but did she ? No . She must be having too much fun with Sarah to answer my calls .It wasn't like me to get jealous but I couldn't help it .I decided to send Cheryl one last text telling her id be home sooner than planned , I didn't tell her it was because of Sarah though .After the text sent I went downstairs to make some breakfast when my dad walked in with a shopping bag and a paper .
