Hi! Sorry for late update got so much work to do :( Ditched revising The Bosnian Crisis to write this chapter. How is the long weekend going? Here's chapter 4 of 'Sinister', which is an 'explanation' chapter so whatever happened in the last chapter will be explained.
"Why do you cut yourself Ryan?" Kelli asked, sitting next to him.
"Its a long story."
"Go on, I'm listening." Ryan started to tell her.
"My mum died when I was eight and then my dad began drinking heavily. His girlfriend and her daughter moved in with us, so I had no bedroom. My dad's girlfriend wasn't bothered about me but her daughter was. One night, there was this huge incident which led to me going into hospital, and Khloe told the doctors everything and that's how I ended up in care." Ryan stopped there.
"That still doesn't answer my question." Kelli frowned.
"You should be a detective some day." Ryan joked. "I was put into care and it went well for the first year or so. But then at school the other kids started bullying me when they found out I was in foster care. My foster brother tried to back me up, but that made the others bully him too, so we fell out and started fighting. The bullying got horrendously bad, so I was moved here."
"Still, no clear answer."
"I cut because I...I'm depressed." Kelli was shocked. She didn't think that someone as young as him would have gone through the amount Ryan had.
Two weeks later
Ryan loved being at Green Country. It was the first time in a long time that he felt like he was at home.
"Ryan, a word please." Sarah called. Ryan walked into her office, sitting down on the sofa.
"Ryan, there's been a little problem. Our care home had an inspection yesterday and unfortunately we are not able to cater for children with mental health problems, so we will have to relocate you." She explained. A million different thoughts ran through Ryan's head. The first one was the main one.
"How did you find out about my condition?" he asked.
"Social services emailed me." Sarah replied.
Sixteen Months Later
A thirteen year old Ryan had just arrived at Ashdeen Ridge care home in Newcastle. He was directed into the office.
"What happened in the past will stay in the past." Mike spoke to him.
"I think someone's breaking in to the car" Ryan lied as Mike rushed out.
"How did you find out about my condition?"
"Social services emailed me." Sarah replied.
Right click. Delete. Confirm delete.
The email was gone. Ryan poured Mike's coffee all over the keyboard and walked out. Whatever happened in the past would now stay in the past. Nobody knew, and he was certain it wouldn't come back to haunt him. He looked in his bag. Antipsychotic drugs. He emptied the entire jar down the sink, feeling proud of what he just did.
Now its getting interesting! Next chapter is a chapter about a Tee-Ryan conversation, or her trying to talk to him. I'll try to have it up later today or tomorrow.
