This Is What Dreams Are Made Off
Chapter 8
Lola left the office to go and find Rick in the Living room with all the other kids. As she walked in she pulled out her phone and checked that there were no tear stains or mascara smudges. Once she was happy with the way she looked she walked in to the room to find Johnny and Elektra fighting, Carmen, Tee and Lilly gossiping and the boy she loved on the sofa with his earphones plugged in. Lola crept up behind him and puled out his headphones. Rick turned around and smiled, he then got up and walked out the room and took Lola to the clearing in the garden, even though it was now quite dark they could still see where they were going.
"So babe what did Mike and Gina say?"
"Not much they just asked me questions about whether or not my dad had ever done this to me before or if he had a reason to leave me"
"And what did you say?"
"That the only reason I could think of that dad could've left was because of him finding out that you were in care. Personally I don't see the problem with dating a care kid but it doesn't really matter what I think because if it did then he wouldn't of left. I also told Mike that in the past my dad used to beat me so all in all not a lot"
Rick stood up and walked around angrily whilst shouting
"NOT A LOT BABE WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOT A LOT THAT BLOODY SCUMBAG HIT YOU AND MADE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU COULDN'T TELL HIM ANYTHING. IF I EVER SEE HIM AGAIN I SWEAR I WILL KILL HIM. NO ONE TOUCHES MY GIRL AND GETS AWAY WITH IT!"
"Wait what? You think of me as your girl?"
"Babe of course I do, I'd do anything to protect you, you mean the world to me"
Lola then got up and hugged Rick tightly.
"Rick, Mike asked me to get ready so that he can take me to get some of my stuff. I was wondering...will you come with me?"
"Course I will Lolz"
The two teens stayed outside for a while longer until Mike called them in to go to Lola's house. As they were walking through the house the sound of murmers and whispers were echoing throughout the house. At this point Tracy had come to do the night shift with Mike. She was in the office being filled in on what happened by Gina.
All the way through the car journey no one talked; Mike just followed the GPS and Lola held onto Ricks hand tightly. Once they arrived at the house Lola got out and unlocked the front door. As she walked into the hallway she broke down. Rick held her gently and walked her upstairs to her room whilst Mike waited downstairs. In Lola's room Rick was packing all of Lola's clothes and Lola was sorting which personal belongings to take. Around fifteen minutes later Rick and Lola were finished with packing, Rick was carrying the clothes whilst Lola was holding onto her makeup, ipod, photo albums and a few of her siblings favourite toys. As she was walking out of the house she was breathing in the scent of her brothers and sisters toys. Rick helped Lola into the car and held her tightly, Lola started to drift off to sleep still holding the toys.
When the car came back all of the children had gone to bed. Rick picked Lola up out of the car and carried her inside and up to his room. He tucked her into bed and turned out the lights. As he was about to go to sleep Lola whispered:
"Promise you won't leave me"
"Babe I will never leave you"
Rick climbed into bed and wrapped his arms around Lola. The two drifted off to sleep to prepare themselves for the events of the next day.
This was the start of Lola Rose's new life.
Authors Note: In this story Mo still has his own room but instead of Tyler sharing with Rick Tyler is sharing with Harry.
