I don't usually do stories with OCs but because Hollyoaks is my favourite soap and my favourite characters Rhys and Jacqui are now gone, so I have no favourite characters no more, anyway this starts around the late 2006 and the early 2007 period. Things will obviously be different because I don't remember much from the show then so if there is some big mistakes please tell me, thanks:)
Jade Wright had been in a care home all her life, well not all of it she was only put in there at the age of 2, it was 2006 and she had now just only turned 14, anyway she was put there because her birth parents didn't want to go through the whole adoption process they just wanted to get rid of her, and they did. Jade had been in and out of there since the age of 4, well no body wanted to adopt a newborn, because in there minds there had to be something wrong with her. She was adopted many times but none of them could really put up with her.
They had all just got fed up with her, well that's what she thought but it might of had to do with the fact that she was kind of a thief, Jade had picked up some lolly's and sweet's but her new 'mum' said she couldn't have them, but whatever she wanted she got, and ever since getting away with stealing those simple un missed things she felt the rush of not getting caught and she would do it again and again and again. She'd get caught about 1/5 times and all her new snobby parents would just send her back, just like that.
The social worker that was basically the 'dad' of the house told her some special story about how her real dad was a professional footballer, it was true but he wasn't one of the big ones that Jade drummed into her mind that he was. She knew it was bad but in the back of her mind she hoped that her parents had died, give them a justified reason for leaving her in this place, not that she missed them she didn't even know them. Anyway, she had been banned from almost every shop on one side of Chester, Jade couldn't just stop the stealing and she knew it was stupid it kind of took the whole pain of being left away, she's decided to go to a different part of Chester. Hollyoaks.
Jade's P.O.V
I stumbled around the town, trying to find something to do. I didn't want to steal, I couldn't I just didn't want to disappoint my care worker, he'd been like a dad to me since day 1. I decided just to walk around, there was nothing to do here and I couldn't go back to town not yet, surprised I hadn't been sent to some kid jail yet with the amount of times I've been caught. I walked into the nearest shop, cash n' something that I don't remember, I was going to pay I had a couple of quid in my pocket. Well I thought I was.
'Look Hannah, you can't go to that party end of and Josh will you just stop shouting and go to school, NOW! You shouldn't even be home yet it's 1 o'clock' The women on the counter shouted to what looked like her kids, she already looked stressed I couldn't just make things worse by stealing stuff well I would only make it worse if I was caught but if I can get out quickly, it'll be fine, won't it?.
I looked at her name tag as I walked around the store, 'Suzanne', she was just staring at me, probably because I should of been in school but I just couldn't today. I took a few bags of sweets and a drink when she wasn't looking, see I'm not that bad I'd never steal anything valuable. When it didn't look suspicious I let out a big sigh and left the shop and then the buzzer went off, how was I supposed to know a little small market shop had an alarm system. I legged it out of that shop and straight to the bridge, I could hear her screaming 'Oi' and 'STOP! I'LL CALL THE POLICE'.
I knew I could get away, she wasn't even stopping me and the whole place was like, deserted. I carried on running, looking back, but then I felt this hard wall hit me, falling to the ground with all my stolen 'goods'. 'Oi, what do you think your doing?' The wall said, well obviously it wasn't a wall, 'urghhh' I let out a groan and picked up my stuff not even apologising, he was in my way!. 'Stole that?' The man asked, I turned round pulling my defences up, 'NO' I said sharply.
'Whatever, so I'll go give your description to Suzanne then,yeah?' The man questioned, 'yeah, I got to get back to the care home', hoping I would get some sympathy off the man, and it worked he just turned away as I did the same.
I knew I probably shouldn't go back to the village, but I dropped my phone and well, I needed it now, I needed it A LOT. So I decided to sneakily go back and get it, hoping I wouldn't run in to that shopping assistant from yesterday. At least it was a saturday and the place would be a lot busier so even if I did see her she probably wouldn't even notice that it was me.
I walked down the village to near where I fell the day before, nothing was there. I wasn't surprised, it had probably been taken by now, karma I guess. So I gave up. 'Looking for this?' I turned around, it was the man from yesterday holding my phone . Great. 'Yeh, thanks' I said trying to get it but he held it up higher so I obviously couldn't reach the damn thing, 'forget it' I said ready to storm away, yes I was short tempered and very sarcastic. 'Wait, you obviously don't have much money, would you like a drink, there's a place just down there. Warren Fox by the way' this would of been really creepy and I should of probably ran but he'd explained how he grew up in care also, and that he was split up from his little sister.
I'd kept coming to Hollyoaks for a while now, it was weird that a 25 year old man was probably my best friend and he also felt like he was my dad, but it felt like he understood me and why I was so angry and why I did what I did. Although he had the most annoying Manchester accent I liked spending time with him. We were sat in the park, and suddenly he said it, 'I wanna adopt you.' He stated, it wasn't a question, I smiled, he already felt like my dad, I nodded and hugged him. I wasn't usually like that but I was so pleased it was weird.
Ok, so I think they were kind of out of character, I haven't used an OC before so it was harder to write and I don't usually write in 1st person either. Review please:).
