Georgia's PoV:
Hi, Im Georgia Fredricks, an 17 year old girl who is in a care.
I walked downstairs into the games room and sat on the sofa, tucking my legs under my bum as i grabbed a magazine.
"Hey Georgie" I looked up and saw Liam O'Donovan walk in.
"Hey Lima" I smiled, using his years old nickname.
All together, including me and Liam, there are 12 kids in the dumping ground.
There is me and Liam obviously as well as the others:
Tee Taylor
Johnny Taylor
Gus Charmichael
Carmen Howle
Harry Mason
Lily Kettle
Sapphire Fox
Frank Matthews
Elektra
Toby Coleman
(See ./cbbc/topics/tracy-beaker-returns-character-profiles for pictures of them)
Frank followed Liam in, those two literally go everywhere.
"Hey Georgia" Lily said sitting beside me.
"Hey Lily"
"What are you reading?"
"A magazine" I said.
"What's it about?"
"Why dont you just read it Lily?" I snapped throwing it onto her lap and getting up, storming out of the room.
There is no privacy in this house, you always have someone breathing down your neck.
I pulled on the sleeves of my hoody and sat on the window seat in my bedroom. (.com/cgi/set?id=41483292)
Actually, its Liam's hoody, im not gonna lie.
"Georgie, you okay?" Liam said walking in my room and shutting the door with a click.
"Im sick of this place"
"I know, so am i but there's no point running away. We've both worked so hard at getting away from this place and we're back" He said pulling my knees from my chin, sitting beside me and laying my legs across his lap.
I nodded and looked out of the window.
"But, if you ever need to talk, you know where i am. Just think of me as Jeff and you're Harry" He smiled before getting up and leaving.
Harry is six years old and will not be separated from best friend Jeff, his toy giraffe. He likes to join in and be included in the bigger kids' games, but he is also quiet and shy, living in his own world. Other than Jeff the giraffe, Harry most enjoys Sapphire's company – he always wants to play with her or find out what she's doing. Sapphire is like a big sister to him and she makes him feel safe.
Need to get out of this dumping ground! -georgiafredricks
Someone knocked on my door and i groaned.
"Go away!"
"Its me, Tracy" She said. Tracy is one of the workers here.
"Like i said, go away" I repeated.
She ignored my demands and walked in anyway.
"What?" I said.
"Lily is really upset"
"Isnt it time she grew up and got over it? Im sick of people breathing down my neck!" I said.
"You dont seem to get along with any of the kids here apart from Liam"
"Then you're obviously oblivious to everything that goes on around you. I get along with all the kids, well maybe not Elektra, i just get along with Liam more. Now, you done?" I said standing by the door, holding it open for her.
"Just, apologise to Lily" She said leaving.
I watched her walk down the stairs then Gus appeared.
"Hey Gus"
"Hey Georgia. Lily is really upset"
"Yeah, Tracy told me" I said.
"Maybe, you should apologise" He said walking away.
I shut my bedroom door behind me as i left to find Lily.
"Lily!"
"She doesnt want to talk to you" Tee and Carmen said as they stood outside Lily's room.
"And who are you two? Her bodyguards?" I rolled my eyes.
I pushed open the door and walked in.
"Im sorry for upsetting you now will you tell your bodyguards to back down?" I said as Tee and Carmen scowled at me.
"Its fine" Lily said and i walked out.
I went downstairs and found Harry talking to Jeff.
"Hey hun" I said picking him up onto my hip.
"Are you hungry?"
He nodded and i walked into the kitchen and placed him on the floor.
Gina, one of the workers, was in there and i sat on a barstool.
"Harry is hungry"
"I will make him something in a minute"
"Alright"
"Liam is in the living room" She said knowing my next question.
I made my way up there and flopped on the couch beside Liam.
"Hey" I said.
Frank, Toby and Johnny sat opposite and grinned at me.
I smiled back and flipped my phone up and down out of boredom.
"Give up" Liam said taking my phone from me.
I groaned and kicked my feet up onto the coffee table.
Elektra walked in and scowled at me.
"Im sick of this" I mumbled and Liam turned to look at me.
I watched as she flirted with Liam and he just humoured her whilst Frank laughed.
I stood up and pulled Liam up before going in his front pocket to get out my phone before making my way up to my bedroom.
Hey You!
Yeah, you!
I believe that you're lovely. I believe that you're wonderful. I believe that you're a kind and caring person even if noone sees you in that way. And i believe that you are beautiful and/or handsome. I dont need to know who you are, see who you are or talk to you for me to know these things.
A lot of people doing see it that way though, a lot of people believe that they have the right to judge other people based on their appearance, on what they wear, how they talk or what they do. But that is wrong. Very wrong. They have no right to judge you if they dont know you, no one does.
Dont ever let someone make you feel bad for who you are today. Because you happen to be someone wonderful. Forget about the haters. Forget about the people who give you shit. Forget about all the people who have doubted you and live your life.
I want you to stop worrying about what other people think about you. I want you to stop caring about the people in your life who dont truly matter. I want you to do what you love. I want you to stop worrying about all these opinions on yourself, on what you do because they dont even matter. I want you to forget all about the bad things from the past and cherish the good things. I need you to love yourself for who you are. Dont do anything you dont feel comfortable doing. Be a bitch when you have to be. Smile, even when you're hurting. Show people how strong you can be, how strong you really are. Shit happens, forget about everything that has caused you pain. If it stays with you, it will only cause you more pain. Life is too short to be living with regrets. Throw them all away, dont think about it. Mistakes are made for a reason. There is no point dwelling on the past because all that matters is now. Dont let the past break you, make it define you. Dont go searching for someone, chances are they wont even be the right one. Let them come to you because then they're making an effort to be yours.
Then you'll know it was worth the wait.
P.S. Dont let anyone tell you that you arent good enough because you are.. Just smile beautiful.
I put the letter in an envelope and flicked through the Yellow Pages to find a random address and stuck a stamp on it.
I like to write a letter for a random person once a month, it makes me feel like im making a difference because i could be saving someones life.
I shoved it in my pocket then went downstairs into Mike's office.
"Can i go for a walk Mike?" I asked.
"Sure"
"Thanks"
I made my way to the front door but i heard someone yell my name.
I saw Tee walk towards me and she grinned.
"Where you going?"
"Just for a walk"
"Oh, its just Liam wanted saving from Elektra"
"Tell him ill be there in 20 minutes" I said making my way outside.
I walked to the post box, posted my letter then walked back.
I walked into the games room where Liam was sat, scowling as Elektra jabbered away in his ear.
To: Liam
Play along ugly ;) xx
I saw him slyly check his phone then wink at me as i walked over, planting myself on his lap.
"Hey babe" He said.
"Hey, come to my room" I said tracing his lips with my index finger.
I laughed as me and Liam left the room.
"Her face! Ohmygod!" I said as we made our way upstairs.
He flopped onto my bed and i laid beside him.
"Are you alright Georgie?" Liam asked and i turned to lay on my stomach.
"Im fine Lima, are you?"
"Yeah" He smiled.
The door burst open and Gina and Mike were stood there out of breath and Elektra was stood behind, smirking.
"Better luck next time snitch" Liam said to her.
"Oh shut up Liam" She hissed, storming off.
"We werent and wont be doing anything Mike. What happened to trust?"
Mike and Gina walked away and I rolled my eyes.
"Come play pool?" Liam said.
"You know i cant play pool" I laughed following him downstairs.
"I know, you're rubbish!" He laughed.
I ruffled Gus' hair as we walked past into the games room.
I sat next to Sapphire and she handed me a magazine.
"How's the boyfriend?" I asked as i mindlessly flicked through a magazine that i had probably read at least 10 times before.
"Hes good. A bit MIA at the moment" I nodded and ran my fingers through my fringe.
Elektra stormed in and went right up to Liam.
"You are such a disgusting creature! I dont know why i ever bothered with you!" She yelled shoving Liam, sending him flying over the pool table.
"Liam!" I said rushing over to him.
"Are you alright?" I said panicking.
"What is wrong with you? Are you some kind of phsyco!" I yelled at her standing up.
"He's a prat!" She yelled back.
"You cant just throw him over a table!" I screamed.
"Georgia! Leave it!" Liam said pulling me away fromElektra so i didnt hit her.
"We dont want Gina screaming"
"Liam, you just got thrown over a table" I said.
"It didnt hurt, im fine" He said.
"Cmon, shes a pyscho" He said leading me out of the room.
Gina walked over and smiled at us as we sat on the couch in the hallway.
"What was all the yelling about?" She asked.
"It was nothing Gina, everything is fine" Liam said.
She gave us both a funny look but then walked away.
"Im taking you out tomorrow" Liam said bluntly and walked away.
Lily squealed as she ran over.
"What?"
"Liam is taking you on a date, thats what Georgiaa!" She said.
I laughed at her and went to my bed.
