part two
Bethany enters the house to find David and the others say around the table eating breakfast, David frowns Concerned over at his niece as Bethany tries to ignore as she sat onto the sofa closing her eyes wanting to block out the smell of bacon,
"Hey you were out early Beth!" Sarah says making Bethany nod her head,
"Yeah I wanted to work out...I left a note"
"I know I got it thanks for letting know. So come on then let's go do some shopping today?"
"yeah sounds good!"
"here Bethany made you a bacon sandwich!" David says placing a plate onto the table making Bethany's stomach churn,
"aw how sweet of your uncle David. Right you eat up while I check on your brother" Bethany walks slowly towards the table her stomach fluttering wildly the closer she got,
"Uh actually I don't feel too good..."
"this will help love give you plenty of energy!" Gail says as Bethany looks pleadingly over at David who doesn't say anything making Bethany sit down her hands beginning to tremble and her eyes water as she hears Lauren's voice taunting her,
"I can't ..." Bethany runs out into the back garden and sits on the floor sobbing as David sits beside her and pulls her into him as he holds her,
"Beth I'm sorry I just want you to be happy..."
"I know you do. It's me that's sorry Uncle David...the last thing you need is too be dealing with my teenage dramas" David kisses her forehead as Bethany wipes her tears away,
"You just focus on looking after yourself Beth. For all of our sakes!" Bethany nods her head slowly,
"Uncle David?"
"yeah?"
"thanks for looking out for me. I know I don't say it but I love you"
"no worries Beth. I love you too even though you are a giant pain in the butt!" They both smile before heading back inside the house.
Sarah and Bethany were in the busy shopping centre Sarah enjoying being out and bonding with her daughter whilst Bethany felt tortured as all she could see was tiny clothes and sizes that there was no way she could fit into! Sarah stops outside a designer shop beaming at the display window which was a bright green dress,
"We should so try the dress on!"
"Nah your alright. But you go ahead"
"Bethany platt since when do you not want to try stuff on!"
"Okay fine whatever!" Bethany follows a excited Sarah into the shop her stomach churning as she is lead into a changing room which as soon as she gets into she closes the curtain and trembling begins to undress. Bethany puffs and pants as she struggles to zip up the dress her eyes watering in both frustration and in embarrassment,
"Bethany love you alright in there?"
"fine mum. Be out now!" Bethany scrambles to get the dress off knowing there was no way she was walking out there looking like shrek in the dress as she puts her clothes back on and tries to keep her composure as she walks out the cubicle,
"Aw mum you look lovely!"
"thank you sweetheart. Hey how come your not wearing the dress?"
"Oh uh not my colour...but you should get it mum!" Sarah beams making Bethany smile missing seeing her mum happy. Once they had both gotten home Bethany had a surprised text message from Craig and Faye asking if they wanted to go round Faye's for a film and chips which made her smile as they were actually really nice to be around and they always looked out for one another!
"Right here some change for your chips sweetheart! Have fun darling!"
"Thanks mum. See you all later!" Bethany walks happily out the door and makes her way over towards Faye's her heart fluttering in excitement that maybe she could have real friends after all! Maybe she wasn't as useless as she thought!
