When we returned there was uproar, Mike was angry at both of us and Sav's foster parents sat in the office very unhappy and annoyed.
"You shouldn't have run of like that Summer" Mike said
"What was I suppose to do sit here and wait while she was out there all alone" I snapped
"You should of waited for us to come we know where she would of gone we could of found her" Savs foster parents said
"Why would I wait for you to get here I found her by myself and none of you would have known where to look. She only ran because you and your stupid rules about being supervised the whole time and I don't blame her you are making this difficult" I shouted the man smirked at me
"We need supervision around her because you are loose cannon you could take off with her at any moment and we might not see her again" something switched inside of me I tried to grab him but Mike held me back pushing me outside.
"Summer you're not helping yourself calm down" he whispered I went to say something back but he silenced me "Go now let me handle this" as I left I kicked the chair across the room. I saw Sav sitting outside on the sofa she looking scared.
"I heard you" she whimpered
"I'm sorry Sav its gunna be fine yeah" I reassured her
"Am I gunna be able to sleep over like Mike said" she asked
"I dunno yet we'll see how it goes" I replied rubbing her shoulder "do you wanna get a drink" she nodded so I took her hand and led her into the kitchen. She hopped up onto one of the breakfast bar chairs as I poured two glasses of orange juice.
"Hey Savannah" Harry chirped taking the seat beside her I passed him my orange juice and left them to it. I think Harry had a little crush on Savannah it was cute in my eyes. Soon Sav's foster parent left looking frustrated so I'm guessing Mike persuaded them to let Sav stay.
"She can sleep over right" I asked when I saw Mike
"Yeah but they aren't happy about it, I just said Savannah would be let down if they didn't let her stay so they obliged" he told me.
"Thanks Mike I appreciate it" I said he smiled and left to check on the other kids. The day passed quickly we ate with everyone for dinner and the girls particularly Lily was interested in Sav. Finally Savannah got tired so I took her upstairs to bed in my room, an hour later everyone was asleep.
I needed a drink so I wandered down the stairs and poured out some water into a glass in the kitchen as I left I heard, a loud crash. I froze as I saw a figure emerge from the door, he was tall and something about his face was familiar he scanned the room like a predator his eyes gazed upon the stairs. My heart nearly burst out my chest when I saw Savannah standing at the top of the stairs rubbing her eyes yawing. The man's head snapped round and he called out to her,
"Come on darling" he walked forwards "Savannah come home yeah" his voice was familiar to me but I didn't know who it belonged to. He began to move up the stairs and I screamed. He turned round in an instant and the lights upstairs switched on and I heard Mike calling out.
"Shut up" he growled he raised his hand a gun held tightly pointing at me, my breathing became ragged and scared.
"Leave her alone go" I said my voice shaking
"You shut up and let me take her" he snarled I heard the footsteps getting faster upstairs, I shook my head. The man went to go to the stairs and I ran at him screaming. There was a loud bang which echoed around the house, I dropped to the floor my chest throbbing in pain, the man stood still he could hear Mike coming and gave up on getting Sav he ran like a coward looking back at me hatred in his eyes. I remembered him and it made my heart ache like it had been shot even though it hadn't.
Mike came running down the stairs to me side, I clutched my chest feeling the blood trickle over my fingers and hands running through my clothes. My breaths were getting short and it hurt to breath.
"What happened" Mike asked quietly, I could see the other kids on the stairs to shocked to move, Lily held Sav in her arms at least she was safe.
"A man came in he was trying to take Savannah but I stopped him" I managed to crack a smile and Mike smiled back.
"It will be fine do you know what the man looked like" he asked concern taking over his voice, I nodded and just before I became unconscious I managed to whisper to Mike the words that brought me more pain than the wound.
"It was my dad"
