So this is set a couple of weeks ago :) I'm going to do the wedding later and I still need to do Christmas.
It was the next morning and Aleks and Ineta were awake. She walked into the kitchen where her dad was.
"What do you want to eat?" Aleks asked. Ineta shrugged. She was getting annoyed with her dad for speaking English. She knew that people speaking English made her think a lot and it was hard work. She liked England but the language was really difficult to understand especially when they were speaking quickly.
They finished their breakfast before Ineta went to get changed but stopped at the door.
"Vai man ir duša" Ineta asked.
"Ineta, you need to speak English" Aleks warned.
"Can't say it" Ineta said. "Don't know it"
"Ah okay, it's called a shower" Aleks said and Ineta nodded.
"A shower" She said.
"Well done" Aleks said and Ineta smiled.
"Can I" She asked and Aleks nodded.
"You don't need to ask" Aleks said and Ineta just walked away. She quickly had a shower and then got dressed in the clothes that Roxy had bought her last night.
"Come on, Ineta once you are ready we are going to Roxy's" Aleks shouted and Ineta sighed. She didn't want to go to Roxy's she just wanted to spend time with her dad.
They got ready and then they went to Roxy's house. Ineta walked in nervously into the house. She saw someone who she guessed was Roxy's sister. She stood awkwardly listening to the adults but she couldn't understand what they were staying. She just sat in silence, she was really struggling to understand what the adults were saying as they were speaking too quickly.
She hated not been able to understand them, she could feel the tears filling in her eyes and she just wanted to get away. She was really panicking and just wanted to go home, she wanted to go back to Latvia she hated not being able to understand what was going on around her.
Their voices got louder and louder and she needed to get away. She panicked and then went to run out the room. She didn't know what do to.
Ronnie, Roxy and Aleks were all caught in surprise and Roxy was closest to the door and grabbed the girl pulling her daughter into her arms. At first Ineta flipped and tried to get away from Roxy's arms but Roxy was not letting go.
Once Ineta realised that she couldn't get away, she stopped fighting. She sunk into Roxy's hold.
"Shall we all have a talk about this?" Roxy asked and Ineta shook her head.
"Come on sweetie" Roxy said and Ineta just buried her face into Roxy's chest. She was really embarrassed and didn't want to talk to anyone. Unexpectedly, she flipped again causing Roxy to lose control of her.
"Ineta" Roxy shouted. She followed the girl into the hall still only holding onto her arm. Ineta went to open the door but Roxy had a tight hold of her arm so was able to grab the girl and pull her back into her arms.
"Ineta, what is going on?" Roxy asked as she held the girl in front of her. The poor girl looked terrified. Roxy didn't want to take her into the living room where everyone was so walked her into the kitchen and closed the door.
"What is all this about?" Roxy asked.
"Es gribu iet mājās" Ineta wished.
"I don't understand what you are saying" Roxy said.
"I want to go home" She said letting the tears drip down her face.
"Oh sweetie, I'm really sorry but you can't go home. This is for your benefit, I promise" Roxy said and Ineta shrugged.
"What is so wrong with it here?" Roxy asked.
"Can't speak" She said. Roxy looked at her before realising what she was meaning.
"Can you understand me?" Roxy asked and Ineta nodded.
"Sort of" Ineta said.
"I just need to concentrate a little. It was just too much when you and dad and other person were talking. I couldn't get anything" Ineta explained and Roxy nodded.
"It must be hard for you" Roxy asked and Ineta walked home.
"I just want to be able to speak to people without having to think a lot. Dad not letting me speak Latvian" Ineta said. "It really hard"
Ineta couldn't stop the tears slipping down her face. She couldn't stop herself from crying. She looked down really embarrassed. Roxy felt so bad. She pulled the girl into her arms.
"I sorry, I need to stop being a baby" Ineta said facing sideways. She didn't want Roxy to see her crying.
"It's okay to cry, you are going through a lot" Roxy said and Ineta shrugged. The talked for a bit longer and then Ineta looked at Roxy.
"Tomorrow or other time, can we shop?" Ineta asked and Roxy smiled.
"Oh course, we can sweetie" Roxy said.
"I bring my money, just need more clothes" Ineta said looking down.
"It's okay, don't worry about it" Roxy said. She pulled the girl into her arms again.
"Shall we go and join your dad and Ronnie again" Roxy asked.
"Ronnie?" Ineta asked.
"That's my sister, the other woman" Roxy explained and Ineta nodded. Ineta nodded.
They walked into the living room and Ineta awkwardly sat down, she was really embarrassed.
"Are you okay now?" Aleks asked and Ineta nodded.
"Do you want to go and met my daughter Amy" Roxy asked and Ineta nodded.
She walked up the stairs to see Amy and ended up playing with her.
"What's wrong with her?" Aleks asked.
"She said she is really struggling with the whole English language thing" Roxy explained and Aleks nodded.
"She keeps speaking Latvian at the house" Aleks said.
"She says it allows her to speak normally, to not have to constantly think about the way to talk" Roxy explained and both Aleks and Ronnie nodded.
"What shall we do" Aleks asked.
"I don't know, let her settle in for a bit but still let her speak Latvian if she needs to. She is a good kid and is trying her hardest" Roxy said and Aleks nodded.
"We need to get her to school" Aleks said.
"How old is she?" Ronnie asked.
"She is eleven" Aleks said.
"You should try and get her into Walford high after Christmas" Ronnie said and both Aleks and Roxy nodded.
"I still don't think she is keen on me" Roxy said.
"She only leant on me as she had no one else" Roxy said.
"Rox, stop it. This girl is really struggling to cope. You need to let her get used to the idea of having you instead of her mum" Ronnie said.
"She wants me to take her shopping tomorrow" Roxy said.
"See you does want your help" Ronnie said and Roxy sighed.
They talked for a bit longer before Aleks and Ineta went back to their own house. Roxy could tell that Ineta was really embarrassed about what had happened earlier and she decided to talk to her tomorrow about it all.
