Chapter 21

I could feel someone shaking me to wake up. I turned my face into the pillows and groaned.

"Fuck off." I muttered sleepily.

"Olivia." Julie said disapprovingly. I shot up and looked at my boyfriend's mother. Why has Finn told her about the house?

"Morning Liv." Finn said, chuckling from the chair across the room. "You do know Miss Mason has had all of in her office today asking if you have made contact with us?"

I groaned again and flopped down, everything that had happened at breakfast flooding back. "I was such a bitch." I muttered sleepily.

"I told her I knew where you probably are, but you wouldn't want her knowing where. She started going a bit mental, didn't think it would be good to tell her about the house though." He told me. "Mum had to give me a lift, you should maybe lock the door again if you're going to fall asleep babe."

"If you can't face going home tonight, I'm sure I could go to yours and ask Rachel for some school clothes and pjs and you can sleep at ours?" Julie said softly, figuring out I had run off for a reason.

"Um, I think I better go home. What time is it?" I asked, standing up and grabbing my crutches.

"It's 6.00pm, if we don't hurry up you'll miss Hollyoaks." Finn said laughing.

When we reached my house, Rachel came out to greet us. I was expecting her to look angry with me, but she just looked worried. I probably have about 50 missed calls on my mobile and 1000 texts. Maybe I should have come home a bit earlier rather than falling asleep for the full day.

When Rachel had thanked Julie, we both made our way inside and sat on the sofa.

"Are you still annoyed?" She asked, grabbing the remote and switching the telly on.

"Where are Philip, Annie and Mia?" I asked not answering her question.

"Annie and Phil were looking around the town for you, Mia is still at daycare, and Mel is out as usual." She said.

"I knew where Mel would be, that's why I didn't ask." I said, turning my attention to Hollyoaks.

"Instead of watching telly, I think me and you need to have a talk." Rachel said.

"I think we talked enough this morning." I snapped, taking the controller so she couldn't switch it off.

"Olivia Jane Mason. Stop thinking just about yourself for once!" Rachel yelled, using the button on the telly to turn it off. Great.

"I'm not thinking about myself! I just don't feel like talking." I told her. "There's nothing to talk about, you told us everything this morning didn't you?"

"Well, that's all in the past, I've looked after you for the last ten years, I was hoping you would have just a little bit of respect left." She snapped heading out of the room.

"Well, I have a lot of respect left, but it doesn't mean I need to show it now does it? You know what? I'll take Julies offer and stay at there's tonight." I snapped.

"You're going nowhere. You're going to tell me where you have been all day." She said, coming back in with a glass of fruit juice.

"It's got fuck all to do with you where I have been. You're not my mother!" I yelled.

I felt a sharp sting on the side of my cheek and realised my older sister had just slapped me. I sat there, just staring at her. She has never slapped me before.

"Thanks." I snapped and started heading up the stairs.

"Olivia! Wait!" Rachel said as she started following me.

I sat at the top of the stairs and looked at my sister properly. Her face is red raw from crying, her hair is a mess and she's still in her work clothes, unlike usual when she gets in and put jeans and an old top on. She must have been worrying all day.

"Why do you never listen?" She asked softly, sitting on the step in front of me.

"I do. I just don't wait to hear answers." I said smiling, using the line she used to describe me to people with.

"I'm so sorry Olivia, I didn't mean to hit you." She said, reaching for my hand.

"And I didn't mean to piss you off." I said, pulling her into a hug. "Sorry Rach."

Just when we had both finished crying and hugging, Annie, Phillip and Mel walked in the door. She must have met them in town.

"It's not world war 3 is it?" Phillip asked.

"Nah, not today Phil, but you're gonna have to go back out. I see you forgot a certain nearly one year old? The daycare will be closing soon." I said, laughing at my nephew's cautious face.

"No. We went to pick her up and they said she has already gone home. None of use picked her up?" Mel asked, looking panicked.

"I didn't? Why would the daycare let her go with someone who isn't us?" Rachel asked.

"I was too embarrassed to tell them about her father, if he shown his identity, they might have let him pick her up!" Mellissa shouted.

"Try phoning him." Annie suggested. "Maybe he only wanted to take her to the park."

"Hes not answering!" Mel screeched a couple of minutes later.

"Police please." Rachel said down her phone.
