AN: This is a rewrite of what I posted yesterday as I was looking at the wrong plot outlay for the ending scenes when writing, please if you've already read this, review and let me know if this one is any better!
This ship has never been done before, i think. But this story/ship came to me when i was watching The Dumping Ground Episode 1. I think somehow this ship is like Liam/Elektra but they are probably more against the odds as there is a little age difference and no one would expect it from Johnnie. And i think the song in the quote really suits them too. Link to script for ep 1 is on my profile. I changed the ending of the episode to fit in with my story. I've kept you long enough, R&R please!
Disclaimer: I really don't own The Story of Tracy Beaker, I'm serious.
I know you better than you think
Cause it's simple darling, I gave you a warning
Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces
- Explosions (Ellie Goulding)
Chapter 1- Before the catching of a Snowflake
It had been many months since Tracy had left. Since Liam and Sapphire had left. But things change, people leave and never return. It was and still is one of the harsh realities of life which these people, these inhabitants of Elm Tree House know only too well.
The last time anyone had seen Liam was nearly two months ago, he hadn't even came to the home. To say they were saddened by this would be a major understatement. They could understand why Toby had never returned to see them, he was now residing in his native Scotland and he surely wouldn't be able to afford to travel down to see them. They'd understood and accepted this, but Liam lived a 20 minute ride away on the bus. Sapphire was a little further away, but even still they'd expected her to visit a little, not even for themselves but for Harry. He was the youngest, the most effected. He'd probably witnessed more than anyone should have to at such an age. They'd been sceptical at what he had witnessed but knew it must have been bad as the boy hardly talked, only through his toy giraffe, Jeff, did he speak.
Elektra had once saved Harry and Jeff from a poisonous black Adder, but not before causing a bit of mischief, a bit of sadness. She had changed the directions for their team whilst they were in unfamiliar woods so she, Toby and Carmen could go ahead and beat the others to base camp. This had gone disastrously wrong with Carmen nearly falling to her death on a rickety bridge and Harry getting lost. But as these events had took place the other team where discussing different types of chicken. Nuggets and fried, they were definitely not vegetarians. And for once Liam and Johnny were not at loggerheads with one another, which was until they had got lost. But hey, in the end they were Good Samaritans returning a dog to its owner.
Now who said care kids were a lost cause?!
Now, unfortunately they were sadly left home alone one eventful day. That is when this story truly starts. Snippets of these times will always filter through their minds, so snippets I shall show:
"Well, when are you going to tell me?" Elektra had asked, frustrated. She had only wanted to know. "As soon as I've hung this up, want to help?" Gina had asked. She's serious isn't she, Elektra had thought, grabbing something from Johnny.
She had only wanted to know, and now the staff were all gone. She just had to know, what are they hiding! She thought as her paranoia kicked in. So she set out to find the incriminating information. So this was now why she sat, at mike's desk, chucking a ball from hand to hand, frustrated at herself for not finding the password. Johnny had walked in and had started to vent away "... and Frank and Rick are driving Gus...". "Shut up. I can't concentrate." She'd moaned, rubbing her temples. He noticed the frustration building up, not wanting her to blow a fuse, he decided to help. "What are you trying to do?" He asked. "Log on. I've tried everything I can think of.". "It'll be written down somewhere, the relief care worker would've needed it. Knowing Mike...," he started to pilfer through the filing cabinet ", he'd probably file it under P for password!". "Don't be ridicul..." Elektra had started to say but her eyes had lit up as Johnny smugly produced a piece of paper with a single word on it. Elektra snatched the paper away from him and starting typing. The password was accepted and with Elektra taking no notice of Johnny he kicked the cabinet shut and mumbled a "you're welcome" before leaving.
She'd been horrible to him, locking him in his room with no food. He knows he should hate her, but he doesn't and he doesn't know why. He knows he seems to hate her but how could he truly hate her, they'd helped each other out plenty of times. He loves the feeling when she truly seems to despise him. And he knows its wrong- she is in year 11 after all, but technically there is only a few months difference in age between them, but people would never understand… and why is he thinking about all of these complications when she means nothing to him, but he doesn't know why and he can't help it.
Morning came and they'd let him out, much to Elektra's dismay.
He went to the office knowing she'd be there. Why? I don't know, maybe he got a thrill from her being horrible to him. Well that is all he knew. People who were supposed to love him had shown cruelty to him, maybe he'd gotten the wrong end of the stick from her.
He entered the office to find her not there, he wandered over to the computer, finding an email flashing on the computer screen, and he absentmindedly opened it.
He could not have been more shocked to what he had found. It was letter confirming that Elektra would be on her way to Australia within a month! This is when she had decided to walk in. His head shot up "What's this?" he demanded, she saw it and smiled before said smile turned into a scowl directed at him. "This is none of your business, Jonathon Taylor!". "It is, why do you want to leave, Mike and Gina look after you, They care...". Elektra had started to walk towards him, a mixture of feelings plastered on her face. "Care, they care do they, then why are they sending me away then, away from everyone who supposedly care!" she spat out, she was so close to him that he could feel her breathe on him. "I..." Johnny spluttered. Elektra quirked an eyebrow. "You what?" she asked. …"I hate you!" He said quietly, trying to repair the barrier he had let down. She smiled indifferently.
And then kissed him...
