Hey guys! Chapter 7 is here! Hope you guys like it. :)


Faith ran as fast as she could dragging Ms. Swan. They got there right as Angela opened the door to go and find her.

"You're late," she said coolly but as she saw Ms. Swan her voice changed to a sweeter tone. "Where have you been? I've been worried sick about you." she put her hand on her shoulder but Faith shrugged it off immediately, so she turned to Emma. "Thank you for bringing her home. I don't believe we've met before. I'm Angela," she told her.

"Emma," she introduced. "Faith's teacher."

"Ah, so nice to meet you," she said.

"You too," she said. Something felt off about this woman. Emma wasn't sure what it was, but she was going to find out. "Are you Faith's mom?"

Faith stared at her like she was from Mars while Angela just laughed. "Oh, goodness no," she laughed. To be honest, it was more like a cackle than anything. It scared her a bit. "I'm just the babysitter. I wish I were her mom. Her parents are in Monte Carlo as we speak, or at least that's what we've been told for the last five years. If you ask me, they were never meant to be parents either of the times. Faith was much better off with Belle. Belle's ex-boyfriend Russell adopted her when she left. He's been taking care of her ever since."

"She's not his ex. They never broke up. She's only his exish," Faith said.

This whole thing was crazy. Emma shocked at the entirety of the thing. This girl had gone through so much. Then the only constant thing she had was ripped away from her.

"Ms. Swan is staying for dinner tonight," Faith told her as she held up her to-go bag from the diner.

"Wonderful," Angela said. Her voice wavered a bit. "Well let's not stand in the cold. Come in, Come in."

"Thank you," she said as she followed them inside.


Russell pulled into the driveway and stepped out of the car. Today was a good day. He had managed to get home in time for dinner for once. No doubt Faith had brought home one of her free cheese burgers from Hailman's. That poor kid was gonna go broke soon. He turned the handle and stepped inside his house. "Faith!"

"Dad!" Faith called as she rushed to him.

"Hey," he said as he picked her up and twirled her around. "How was school?"

"Good. It was Ricky's birthday today so we all had cupcakes in Math," she told him.

"That sounds awesome," he said. "Speaking of food. I didn't miss dinner did I?"

"Nope. I set yours out on the table just in case," she answered.

"Well then. Let's not let our food get cold and nasty right?" he asked.

"Yeah," she laughed, as they made their way to the kitchen.

He stopped when he saw the pretty blonde sitting at the table. "Uh, sweetie, Who is this?" he asked a tad concerned.

"This is Ms. Swan, my teacher," she told him. Now he was able to breathe a bit easier. "She had been wanting to meet you so I invited her for dinner after she met Killian. One word for you dad. Sparks," she teased. Ms. Swan laughed a bit before she rose to greet him.

"Hi," she said extending her hand. "Emma."

"Russell," he laughed shaking it. "Sorry about that. My daughter is still learning subtlety."

"Well apparently I need to join the class then if she could see that," she joked.

"Well, Let's eat then shall we?" he said.

"Yeah!" Faith cheered.


Now I know this one was a little less interesting but next chapter reveals Lacey and Faith's past. Hope you guys like it. :)
