"Why would I hate you, idiot."
Dylan smiled, looking up at Nico. He didn't know really why he thought she would be disgusted in him. "I dunno."
"You should have just told me." Nico looked at him, smiling.
"I know." he sighed. "But how the hell do you approach something like that? How do you tell your girlfriend you like to wear women's clothes?"
"Just like that." she raised an eyebrow. "You were the one who made me look at things differently. If anyone's weird here it's me. Where I come from is proof of that. It doesn't matter to me what you do, what you wear. You taught me that being different isn't such a bad thing."
He nodded, listening to her. "Yeah. Sorry about the whole... saying I fancy your mum thing."
Nico nodded, then quickly stood up. "I have to go see her."
He looked at her, confused.
"We argued... I thought..-" She cut herself off and ran down the stairs to the hospital.
Dylan sighed, watching her go.
"Mum!" Nico rushed over to her. "Mum I'm sorry..."
"Sweetheart, it's ok. I'm ok. I promise." Sienna smiled, holding her hand.
"No... No it's not... I shouldn't have done that... Me and Dylan argued, I got mad and..."
Sienna gently brushed her fingers through her daughter's hair. "It's done. As long as you promise not to do anything like that again."
Nico nodded, and hugged her mum.
"Nico Blake?"
The young girl looked up. "Mum... What's a social worker doing here...?"
"I'm sorry sweetheart. It's for your own good." Sienna spoke, though her heart was breaking.
Nico looked at her. "Mum please... I'll be better I promise!" She knew she was about to cry.
"Sweetheart look at what I'm doing to you. You were sweet, before I came into your life, you were nothing like this. Look at what I've turned you into." Sienna couldn't look at her, she couldn't see the heartbreak and rejection written all over her baby's face.
The social worker started to pull Nico away.
"Mum please!" Nico begged as she was pulled out of the hospital.
Sienna pulled her knees to her chest and she broke down, Charles S'Avage put his arm around her to comfort her. "You've done the right thing." he told her.
Nico sat in the back of the car, her head down. She didn't want anyone to see her cry.
Dylan saw a car driving away, and he looked confused. Why was Nico being taken away?
Nico ignored her phone as it rang. She knew it would only be Dylan, and she didn't want him to know she was upset. She had been rejected, given away for the second time by her mother.
