Thanks so much for the reviews.
I'm glad you guys liked the dare chapter. I wrote it in the libary and I was sitting beside an old lady who told me to give Liam that very specail dare. Hah I nearly cried laughing because she looked so sweet. I would have done a lot more dares but I had a limited time on the computer.
AbbieCole - god knows where we'd be without Gus! :L
Chapter 7 - The Plan
The next morning both girls slept in. Laural's the first to wake up and see's Marcie snoring away in her own bed. Laural gets up and brushes her thick blonde hair. Today was going to be hard. Mave's funeral. She never thought that Mave would have one before Laural. Laural had thought that Mave would be at her own funeral.
Laural changed into jeans, a white top with Florence and The Machine's song Bright Lights Lyrics printed on in black italics.
Laural was putting on foundation when Marcie woke up. She looked at the clock on the dresser and sighed before getting up and grabbing clothes from the wardrobe and going into the bathroom.
As Marcie leaves, Mike appears and knocks on the open door.
"Laural? How're you feeling today?"
Laural turns and looks at him.
"I'm fine, how's Elektra?"
"She's fine, she'll have a great story to tell her mates at school no doubt"
"Glad I helped her get one"
Mike smiles.
"You know, you don't need to go to Mave's funeral"
Laural looks down at her feet with only pink socks on.
"Yeah I do Mike, its Mave, my Mave.. She'd want me to be there."
"Her foster parents said.."
Laural's head snaps up revealing the fight that fueled her eyes yesturday.
"Her foster parents? Who do they think they are? They think they know her after a week.. Less than a week in their case and that they can't stop me from going?! I'm her sister! I raised her! I was a mother to her because our one was dead! I never once blamed her for that, even when looking after her got hard! I tried to look after her, after us..."
"But look were it got you, and these people must have really cared about Mave Laural, once foster parents find out that the child they fostered isn't healthly they bring them back to the care home... These foster parents didn't. They don't want you to come because it would be too heart breaking for you"
"Well fuck them Mike, that's my sister there burrying today, my flesh and blood.. They can't do this.. There has to be a way to stop them"
Laural sits on her bed and tries to figure out a plan. Mike sighed realising there's no point in trying to make Laural Evans see sense.
Marcie decided to go down stairs for breakfast as Mike was still talking to Laural. Laural was yelling back. As she walked down the stairs she heard two sets of voices in the kitchen.
She walked into the kitchen and saw Liam talking to Tracy. Liam smiled when he saw Marcie.
"'Ello Marc, glad to see I'm not 'he only kid up"
Marcie smiled and sat beside him.
"Morning"
"Tea of coffee Marcie? I'm just boiling the kettle" Tracy asks as she munches on a piece of toast.
"Uhh tea please"
Marcie leans back in her chair and takes a piece of toast off the big plate in the middle of the table.
"I'll just go ask Gina if she wants one" Tracy says before leaving the kitchen.
As Marcie hears her close the door, she looks at Liam.
"I need your help"
"I'm listenin' wha' is it?"
"Laural wants to go to her sister's funeral today and I need your help to get us out and back. If I go with her alone we'll get lost and caught"
Liam sighs and shakes his head.
"A lot of funeral's lately"
"I'm sorry?"
"Just... A friend of mine, good friend of Willow's, died not so long ago"
"Oh I'm sorry"
"Yeah she saved me and Willow's lifes"
"Really how?"
Tracy had walked back into the room and began to take out a mug and teabags.
"Really how what?" She asks the two.
"Just tellin' Marcie how I got suspended"
"You mean for yelling abuse in the class room? Its only for two days Marcie, don't worry he'll be annoying me most of the time"
Marcie smiled and nodded at Tracy and looked back to Liam who leaned back in his chair like her. Laural walks in and puts her hand up to Tracy before she asks.
"No" she said before sitting down infront of Laural.
"She doesn't know" Marcie whispers to Liam.
"She doesn't know what?" Laural asked raising her eyebrow.
"That Liam got suspended for three days"
"Oh I was wondering why you were here"
"Yeah well now you know" Liam said awkwardly and looked away.
Tracy placed a cup of tea infront of Marcie.
"Thanks" She say as she Tracy walked back to the counter and got another one.
She smiled at Marcie before leaving the room to give Gina her cup of tea.
"Laural, I've got a plan. Liam's helping us. I'll tell you the rest after breakfast"
"A plan? What plan?" She asks.
"About today.. About how were going to get you to Mave's funeral"
Laural's eyes widdened with shock.
"You made up a plan? Really?"
"Yeah, last night"
Laural nodded slowly and took a piece of toast of the plate.
"Alright, I'm in" she said before she took a bite.
"But how are we going to leave without them knowing?" Laural asks as she sits down beside Marcie on her bed.
"Well Liam is going to tell Mike that he's going to clean his room and that he shouldn't distrube him and were going to say that'll we'll be in here, I'll be helping your greif"
Laural nods, thinking it though.
"What if he checks on us?"
"He won't. He'll know to leave us alone"
"Okay then. When do we leave?"
"Well we have to wait until Liam's said that he's going to clean his room and your going to go down to Mike and say you need to be alone and I'll just stay here until you come back.. Then we'll go"
Laural again nods and smiles at Marcie.
"Thanks Marc.. No one's ever helped me like this before"
She hugs Marcie tight. Marcie smiles as she hugs her friend back.
"Now go down to Mike and tell him. Tell him I'm helping Liam"
Laural nods and gets off Marcie's bed and walks out. Liam peeks in a Marcie who gives him the thumbs up. Liam nods and goes back to his room.
"He'll go to Mike when Laural comes back" Marcie thought to herself.
Marcie smiled to herself. She was glad to see that Laural agreed with her plan. Laural acted as if it was the best plan ever.
"I just hope it stays that way" Marcie mutters before laying on her bed and listening for any sign of Laural's return.
