Chapter 7.
Callie put an arm around Arizona and hugged her from the side. Everyone stood watching the young girl as she left.
"She's really not okay…" Arizona said sadly.
The next day Arizona and April marched down to the principal's office side by side. Callie had a consult so April offered to go with Arizona to ensure that something was done about the girls picking on Bronte. The principal came out and greeted the two women.
"Hello Mrs Robbins…"He shook her hand and turned to April who was smiling. "And Mrs Torres" April shook his hand laughing.
"I'm not Mrs Torres. I am just a family friend…I have a husband." April laughed while Arizona gave her the 'stop talking look'. The Principal looked at April weirdly.
"Okay…" He sat at his desk while Arizona and April sat opposite. "What can I do for you today?"
Arizona coughed before she spoke. "I'm here to inform you that my daughter Bronte has been having some unresolved issues with some other girls in her year group…Bullying her online and in school."
The Principal looked at Arizona and shook his head. "Right okay, I will speak to Bronte and get a list of names. I do not want Bronte to feel like she cannot turn up to school. Once I find out who the girls are, I will ensure they are punished and even expelled depending on what has been said.
Arizona half smiled and April nodded. "If it carries on any further, I will be removing Bronte from the school and sending her elsewhere. Thank you for your time and please keep me updated on what has been decided." Arizona shook his hand and left with April.
After the principal had spoken to Bronte, she decided she couldn't be bothered with school and went home. She snuck into her mom's room because she remembered that sometimes her mom smoked when she was stressed. She found a lighter and began to smoke. It made her less stressed and relaxed. Once she had finished with the cigarette she poured herself a glass of her mom's wine and another and another. Soon the bottle of wine was all gone and Bronte was extremely drunk. Somehow she made her way to the hospital and found her Mami. Callie noticed her daughter stumbling and walked towards her quickly.
"Bronte, why aren't you in school?" Callie looked at her daughter and she could smell alcohol along with the smell of cigarettes on her. "Get in the attending's lounge now!" Callie ushered her into it and paged Arizona 911 while Bronte sat down.
A few minutes later, Arizona ran in and looked around.
"What…What is it?!" Arizona looked at Callie then seen her daughter lay down on the couch with a sick bucket by her side.
"What the?!" Arizona raised her voice.
"She's been drinking…And smoking." Callie sighed. "She is really testing my patience!"
Arizona was mortified at the sight of her daughter. Bronte's face was literally turning a different colour and she rolled slightly on the couch. ]
"Has she been sick yet?!" Arizona asked.
"No…" Callie sighed and sat by her daughter.
Bronte struggled but finally she sat up. Arizona walked over and bent down to her level and held her hands.
"When are you going to learn?!" Arizona shouted. "You're supposed to be in school, learning so you can pass your exams, but instead, you are drinking and smoking! Bronte I don't know what to do with you anymore, you are constantly getting yourself into stupid situations. I mean, look at yourself!" Arizona continued shouting and Callie turned to Bronte.
"Bronte! You are too young to be drinking that much alcohol! Smoking? You decided to smoke?! You are constantly endangering yourself and it is testing our patience with you! Get your flaming act together now or I will send you that boarding school so you learn!" Callie was raging by this point.
Bronte's eyes rolled unintentionally and she began to sway.
"I am sick to death of-"Before Arizona could even finish what she was saying, Bronte threw up, all over her mom.
"Oh god…" Bronte held her head and lay back.
Callie walked over to the kitchen and got Arizona a wet cloth. Bronte had fallen asleep.
Arizona looked at Callie. "Maybe she should speak to like…A counsellor…About her issues? We can't go on like this Cal…" Arizona wiped herself down.
"I think that's best." Callie sighed and kissed her wife. "You smell of sick." Callie smirked and Arizona playfully nudged her.
"I love you Callie." Arizona smiled and Callie softly kissed her.
"Go and get a shower. I'll watch her." Callie smiled and Arizona did exactly that.
A while later, Callie was paged 911. Bronte woke up and eyed around the room to see April making herself a coffee. Bronte held onto her head.
"Oh my god, my head." April walked over and sat beside her.
"That's what happens when you drink. Thought you figured that out last time." April said coldly.
Bronte rolled her eyes. "April, please don't get moody with me too…" Bronte sighed.
April looked at her. "Bronte, you are really testing your luck here. When are you going to start behaving?"
Bronte looked at April sadly. "The alcohol…" April looked at her. "Makes all the worrying and stress, go away…For a while."
"But…Then it comes back and you are back where you started. Bronte I love you, but you really do need to get your act together." April carried on talking to Bronte and Arizona walked through.
"Headache?" Arizona asked her daughter.
"Yeah…" Bronte looked down.
"Good! Serves you right." Arizona said. She walked up closer. "Me and Mami…We have contacted a counsellor…We think you need to talk to someone. You clearly won't speak to us or April or Mer or anyone else, so we have booked a counsellor. Your appointment is tomorrow at 4pm."
Bronte looked at her mom and then April. She jumped up. "What! No way!" Bronte shouted. "You can't make me." And at that Bronte got up and left the room.
Sorry that was short. I don't really know where to go with this story. If anyone has any idea's, let me know!
