A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update but I will now try to update things at least once a week, sorry in advance if I forget. Merry Christmas (almost) - Jazz
Around halfway through the bus journey Mollie sighed and looked out the window, she had absolutely no plan for when she got there: hide?, find someone?, she wasn't hurt (much) so they probably wouldn't care. She got off the bus and started walking over to the entrance, she sat on a bench outside and tried to figure out what to do. 30 minutes had passed and Mollie still had no clue what to do, she finally gave up and just waited on the bench, she wasn't even sure what she was waiting for. At least she knew where she was, and there was no way she was going back to the orphanage.
Mollie didn't know what to do, she felt like she was screaming but no-one could hear, she gave up on all hope and started to cry, she knew how stupid it was but what else could she do. After a while, Mollie heard something approach her, something licked her leg which made her jump then look up.
"Abs, down!" Dixie shouted, causing the dog to move away,
"What's up?" asked Dixie once she had sat down next to Mollie.
Mollie wiped the tears from her face and said "The house mistress chucked icy water on me and hit me with a ruler because I was still asleep at 6:00 AM", Abs licked Mollie's leg, she laughed and wiped away the remaining tears.
"Is there anyone in particular you're waiting for?" Dixie asked, she thought Mollie would be alone,
"Not really... I just sort of ran away" said Mollie.
"Do you know anyone here or are you just hiding out?" asked Dixie, if Mollie was just hiding out, she planned to take her back to the home even though it was cruel she thought it was the best option for Mollie.
Mollie thought about it then answered "Connie, she treated me the other day",
"Oh..." said Dixie, "Do you want me to get her?".
Mollie noticed how many people were walking in and said "Not if she' busy",
"She won't be" said Dixie, "Who should I tell her is here".
"Mollie Jones" she said after a pause where, for some reason she had momentarily forgotten her name,
"Ok, I'll go and get her, I'm Dixie by the way", Dixie disappeared inside leaving Mollie with Abs.
Dixie knocked on the office door and walked in when she was told to, Connie shut down her emails and asked "Dixie, what can I do for you?",
"There's a Mollie Jones outside, she says she knows you" said Dixie before going back to work.
Connie went outside and found Mollie who was playing with Abs, "What happened?" she asked,
Mollie's face was still stained with tears, "I got icy water chucked on me and hit with a ruler because I was asleep at 6:00 AM".
"That's ridiculous!, I'm taking you home with me" said Connie as she practically dragged Mollie over to her car,
Abs shot off inside when he heard Dixie call him, Mollie's eyes lit up as they drove off "Are you sure?" she asked, she hadn't exactly been wanted anywhere in her life before.
"Positive" said Connie as they reached the orphanage, Mollie realised how quick the journey had gone, she thought they had to have been going at 70mph to get there that fast.
A/N: Hi, I probably wont update this until after Christmas (Most likely on the 27th) so merry Christmas. Sorry for the really short chapter, I have been highly motivated to do nothing all week - Jazz
