It was the next day and Madi was up early. She went down the stairs for breakfast. She ordered sausages, bacon, beans and toast. She ate her breakfast in peace and then went and packed. She then went and paid. She thanked Kim and paid for the night. She then went outside and sat on the bench. She needed to think what to do. Should she talk to Veronica or Roxanne, honestly she didn't even know if they were here, for all she knew they could be 100 miles away. She needed to find out where they were and who they were. She set off and walked the streets. She found a park and sat down. A girl came over in school uniform.
"Hi, I haven't seen you around, are you new?" The girl said and Madi nodded nervously.
"Oh well, I'm Abi" the girl said
"Madi" Madi said looking up at Abi.
"So what are you doing here?" Abi said and Madi just shrugged.
"There must be a reason why you moved? Are your family here?" Abi asked.
"I don't know. My mum just left me here. I'm meant to find Veronica and Roxanne or something" Madi said.
"Oh Ronnie and Roxy" Abi said and Madi nodded.
"What are they like?" Madi asked.
"Well, Ronnie's just out of prison but she's really nice, it's kind of confusing what happened. And Roxy well, she's just Roxy, she is crazy but is also caring" Abi said.
"If I was to go and talk to one of them which one should I go to?" Madi asked.
"Em, if I were you I'd go to Ronnie" Abi said and Madi nodded. Ronnie it was then.
"Where would I find her?" Madi asked.
"Em, at the Vic with Roxy, or at her flat, over there, probably" Abi said pointing to the Vic and then Ronnie's flat. Madi nodded.
"Okay, thank you. I best go and find her then" Madi said
"But like thanks for everything" Madi said and Abi nodded. Madi walked over to the vic. She walked in and everyone stared at her. She walked over to the bar and went up to a woman with blonde hair.
"Em, excuse me, is there someone called Veronica here?" Madi asked quietly.
"Yeah, she's my sister. Why do you want to talk to her?" The woman said strongly.
"It's none of your business, if it involved you, I'd ask to talk to you" Madi said letting her feisty side come out.
"Oh, I'm so scared." The women said. Just then another blonde came over.
"Roxy, what's going on here?" She asked. OMG, Madi thought she had just gone all feisty on the person she was meant to be going to.
"This one, wants to talk to you but she just gave me a load of lip when I asked her why" Roxy said.
"Okay, so why do you want to talk to me?" Ronnie said. They didn't seem that pleased with her and Madi was starting to think this was a mistake but what else could she do.
"Can we maybe go somewhere a bit more private" Madi said.
"You can go upstairs" Roxy said. Ronnie went round the back and Madi followed. They went into the living room and Ronnie sat down.
"Sorry, I don't even know your name" Ronnie said.
"Madison, but everyone calls me Madi." Madi said.
"Oh well, I'm Ronnie" Ronnie said.
"So why do you want to talk to me?" Ronnie said softly.
"I don't know. Mum just said to give you this" Madi said giving Ronnie the envelope. Ronnie opened it and saw a birth certificate.
Name- Madison Grace Mitchell
Sex-Female
Mother-Louisa Ethel Smith
Farther- Archibald Lionel Mitchell
Ronnie was in shock. She just sat looking at the birth certificate. She eventually regained focus and looked in the envelope. There were some pictures and then a letter.
Dear Veronica/Roxanne
Please look after Madison for me. I can't cope, things have happened and I can't control her. She has gotten in with the wrong crowd and is spoilt rotten. My parents looked after her until she was 12 and then I got custody of her. Since I got her everything has gone downhill.
Please sort my little girl out. You both managed without your mum, please please help out my girl. She needs her sisters. I can't provide her the care, love and support she needs.
Here is £500
Louisa xx
Ronnie was in shock.
"What does it say?" Madi said nervously.
"Do you know who you're dad is?" Ronnie asked and Madi shook her head.
"Well, your dad is my dad" Ronnie said.
"So you're like my sister" Madi said and Ronnie nodded. Madi then took a deep breath. She could feel tears wanting to escape her eyes, she held them back but Ronnie saw straight through them.
"Oh sweetie, come here" Ronnie said pulling her arms around his little sister. She held her and see felt Madi start to cry. With that she pulled Madi closer so she was basically on her knee.
"Sh, it's okay, you're going to be okay, I promise. We'll look after you" Ronnie said. Madi had calmed down and Ronnie was able to pull away. She wiped the tears off Madi's cheek.
"Come on, let's go and tell Roxy" Ronnie said getting up and taking Madi's hand and pulling her up. They arrived down the stairs.
"Ronnie, I don't want to tell Roxy. She doesn't like me" Madi said
"Oh don't worry about her, she is like that with everyone, I'll sort her out" Ronnie said and Madi nodded.
"Roxy, can I have a word" Ronnie asked. Roxy put down the towel she had in her hand and walked behind the bar.
"Well, there is no easy way to say this but Madi is our sister" Ronnie said.
"What that brat? How the hell is so related to us?" Roxy shouted. Madi froze. She freaked out and ran. She heard Ronnie shouting at her but she kept running.
"Now look what you've done, Roxy. She has no one, we are the only people, our dad is dead and her mum has just dumped her somewhere she knows absolutely no one." Ronnie said. She then left Roxy going to search for Madi.
Madi ran and ran, she didn't know where to go other that the park she sat on the swings and the tears escaped her eyes. She just wanted her Nanny and Pops. She sat there and then she heard someone come up and sit next to her.
"Sometimes when I'm sad I come and sit here too" Ronnie said.
"It's so nice and peaceful" Ronnie said. They sat in silence for another 15 minutes.
"Come on, it's freezing out here. How about we go back to my flat?" Ronnie asked and Madi nodded. She got up and Ronnie put her arms around her.
"We need to go to the Vic first because you left in such a hurry you forgot your bags" Ronnie said.
"Oh sweetie, you're freezing" Ronnie said side hugging her little sister.
They went to the Vic and got her stuff and Madi just ignored Roxy. They collected her thinks and then went to Ronnie's flat.
"You can put your stuff in the spare room and then we can talk" Ronnie said and Madi nodded.
"Right, you can have the main bathroom, as I have an ensuite but if people are here they will use the main bathroom but there is cupboards to put your stuff in" Ronnie said and Madi simply nodded. Madi went into the space room and placed her bags down and then went back into the living room.
"When you've settled in a bit more we can go shopping and decorate your room, if you want?" Ronnie said
"Really?" Madi asked and Ronnie nodded.
"So when did your mum drop you off" Ronnie said remembering it was Friday and that Madi should be at school.
"Em, yesterday evening" Madi said.
"What where did you sleep last night?" Ronnie asked.
"At the B & B" Madi said.
"What she just left you on your own at night?" Ronnie said and Madi nodded.
"She told me to find you or Roxy but I didn't know who you were so I couldn't" Madi said.
"I was so scared" Madi said quietly just loud enough for Ronnie to hear.
"Oh sweetie" Ronnie said putting her arms around Madi.
"Your mum said you got into some trouble back home" Ronnie said softly as she lay back on the couch with Madi lying with her head on Ronnie's shoulder.
"Yeah, but I didn't like them that much. I just got a bit lost and well they were there." Madi said.
"I don't want to be a problem for you" Madi said quietly.
"Oh, you won't be. You didn't see how bad Roxy got and I managed to get her back on track and I'm sure I'll manage with you" Ronnie said and Madi nodded. Ronnie held Madi close to her.
"So how about you go and unpack and I'll order some pizza." Ronnie said and Madi nodded strongly. Madi went into her room and unpacked. She didn't have much clothes that she liked most was just school clothes and joggers. She liked fashion but it didn't fit in with her "friends". When Madi was with her friends she wasn't herself. No one had seen the old Madi since she lived with her Nanny and Pops. Madi finished putting her toiletries into the bathroom. She hid them in the cupboards under the sick. She then walked into the living room and the pizza had just arrived. Her and Ronnie sat and ate the pizza and then put "Bridesmaid" on. They both sat giggling away to the film. Once the film had finished it was nearly 10 and to Ronnie's surprise Madi was flat out asleep on the sofa. Ronnie didn't have the heart to wake her up so she tidied up and got the duvet from the spare room and placed it over Madi. She then went to bed herself.
Sorry it's not that good. I appreciate who reviewed and followed the story.
Soon we will see Madi come out of her shell as she becomes more comfortable around Ronnie and will Madi and Roxy make up?
