A/N- i really do love all the reviews you guys give me.. i really do become speechless when i read them. No lie. Sorry for being cheesy. BTW, in chapter nine, any medicine, or solution i gave in the story, DONT FOLLOW. im not a medical expert.
I do not own Tracy Beaker.
The car journey was mostly quiet, Mike and Cam were talking the whole way, Tracy would give the odd response off course. But she was lost in her own thoughts. She was being allowed to work.. why? Would the kids hate her for what she did? The rain was coming down heavily, the raindrops sliding down the windows. Tracy drew little swirls on the windows. Cam smiled at this, beause it seemed so much like she was a child. (With less anger of course)
They pulled up outside the house, Gina came out with a huge smile on her face. Tracy took in the smell of wet grass, she hadn't been outside for weeks, and she didnt like the thought of being trapped inside.
"Tracy babes, your back!" Gina wrapped her arm around Tracy, rubbing her arm for comfort. Mike and Cam stepped out and lead Tracy inside. She still ahad some pain, and there was a lot of visible scarring, but Mike was worried about her Emotinal scarring, how coming back to Elm Tree was gonna help her, if it even would've.
It was awfully silent in the house, Tracy decided she was gonna watch tv. She knew that Mike Cam and Gina were gonna end up talking about her, and she didnt want to become a deer in headlights again.
"SURPRISE!" All the kids shouted, a banner was up saying 'WELCOME BACK TRACY!' there were little cupcakes with blue and pink icing, they were placed on paper plates, along with other selections of food. Te kids all had smiles on their faces, thats when the kids split onto two sides of the room. To find 3 people standing there.
"Jackie? Crash? Justine?" Tracy beamed, she turned round to get Mike to already find him, Cam and Gina smiling at her.
"Oh my god! Are you really here?" Tracy gawped at them, she stood there staring at them smiling for at least 2 miniutes, taking in the features which were different, she took a moment to remember the old times they used to have.
"Hang on Justine? Seriously what are you doing here? Thought me and you were enemies.." Tracy joked
"Well there was a party, and i figured it would be good to see what you made of yourself." Justine joked back.
Tracy sat down on the couch, pain overfilling her once again, Mike hurried over and helped her sit down. He gave a look to Jackie, Crash and Justine as if to say 'Dont ask, now is not the time'
There was music filling the room along with laughter, Mike kept checking if Tracy was alright, so did Cam for that matter. But Tracy didn't stop it, there was no point, even if she did finding it annoying at times. Of course the kids would give her the odd look, but all Tracy could do was smile at them, they smiled at her in return. She knew everything was worried, but there was not much she could do about that.
"She isn't coming back is she?" Cam said
"Carly you mean?" Cam answered with a nodd, " I doubt she would come back. Tracy has already thrown water at her twice. I doubt she wants it a 3rd time" Mike giggled at Tracy's childhood memories, how she made everything quite clear from the beggining.
"If she comes back though, we can't let Tracy see her. you heard the doctor, she isn't ready for any more pressure..Im hoping this party is easing it off a little. Jackie, Crash and Justine have been amazing, Tracy geuinley smiled at that moment." Cam smiled at this, Tracy was getting better.
"I'd like Tracy to sleep here tonight if that's alright? i think she would really appreciate it. I know she hates to admit it, but she calls this more of home than at mine. I know it, i see the way her eyes light up when she is working, she jokes around with the kids, and has a great time."
" Yeah thats great, of course Tracy can stay, i was thinking of letting Crash and Jackie stay overnight aswell. Tracy needs friends right now. They know about her situation, Gina told them.
Mike looked over to Tracy and the kids, they had started doing the macarena, laughter filled the room. It was hard to believe that only a few weeks ago, all the kids had been in this very room wondering if there social worker was gonna die, or live.
Tracy fell to the floor. Jackie, Crash, Cam, Mike and Gina all rushed over to her, the kids stepped back. They thought it was over, they thought everything was gonna be fine.
"Tracy its gonna be fine, you just need to lie down for a bit, think you pushed yourself too hard." Mike stroked Tracy's hair, before asking Crash for assitance. They helped her up to the spare bedroom.
"Sorry if i scared anyone.." Tracy said, eyes filling up again
"Tracy its okay, how about you Jackie and Crash have a catch up?" Mike suggested, he and Cam left the room, he gave her a little smile through the door before closing it, Gina was downstairs assuring the kids. Mike entered the room. All the kids sat up, and looked to him
"Don't worry guys, she is fine. She just needs a little rest, Tracy overdid it a bit that's all!" All the kids sighed in relief to hear that there minds werent just about to go through another major de ja vu moment.
"So what have you been up to?" Tracy asked
"I'm a runner, won a couple of medals. Got a athletics club named after grandad" Jackie said.
"You've done great! OMG well doen Jackie, How about you Crash?"
"I've been selling some paintings, got a bit of money here and there. I've only just started though." Crash explained
"Awesome! Thats brilliant" Tracy hugged them both tightly
"Look at you though Tracy!" Crash smiled
"Yeah, im a mess." Tracy looked down to the floor again
"He means, you, a careworker! Your changing lives Tracy!" Jackie laughed "And you are not a mess, your having a hard time that's all, Tracy your getting better, its okay" Jackie held Tracy's hands tightly.
"We are gonna be here with you, every step of the way." Crash assured Tracy.
