Barry's pov
We got back home after Lofty finished work and I was thinking about what Charlie said, I should speak to Lofty! He went for a bath as soon as we got in so I sat in the living room alone thinking about what to say to him, I didn't want to upset him by wanting my old family! He came back a while later and went to go start cooking:
"Lofty?"
"Yeah Danny?"
"Can...can I speak to you a minute?"
"Of course I can talk while I cook!"
"No, I mean sitting down!"
"Oh, ok."
He came over and sat beside me:
"Are you alright Danny?"
"Yeah i'm fine, it's just..."
"What?"
"Well you know my sister Kacey I told you about?"
"Yeah?"
"Well I really miss her!"
"Do you want to speak to her?"
"Erm yeah, sorry I think of you as my dad now but she's my baby sister!"
"Hey Danny I don't want to hear any apologies! I never expected you to forget about any of your family! I love you but I don't want to see you miserable!"
I teared up and hugged him:
"I really, really miss little Kace!"
"Do you have your old phone?"
"No, it was taken off me!"
"Oh, do you remember her number?"
"I...I think so!"
"Then you can use my phone!"
He pulled out his phone and went to hand it to me:
"But what if mum answers? I don't wanna talk to her!"
"Do you want me to do it?"
I nodded!
Lofty's pov
Danny had told me he wanted contact with his sister which of course I wasn't overjoyed about but he could still want to stay with me:
"Alright, what age am I looking to hear?"
"She's 15!"
I let him put in the number then I waited for the answer, hearing a young female voice:
"Hello, is this Kacey?"
"Erm yeah, who wants to know?"
"Hi Kacey, don't panic, my name's Lofty and I've been looking after you brother Dan...Barry!"
"What? He's out of prison?! Since when? I don't believe you, Baz would have come here if he got out!"
"He's been out for a while but he's a bit different, I can prove he's here I can put him on!"
"Ok."
I handed the phone to Danny telling him it's ok:
"Hi...hi Kacey!
"Barry?!"
"Yeah Kace, it's me!"
"Barry, why didn't you come home?"
"I miss you but I can't go home Kace!"
"Why not?"
Barry's pov
I was actually speaking to Kacey on the phone:
"I can't! I'm not the same person anymore!"
"What? Right, nevermind that, where are you?"
"A long way away!"
"Oh, who's that Lofty guy?"
"I live with him, he's a nurse!"
"Ah, Barry I need to see you!"
"I feel the same Kace, but I can't get there alone!"
"I have to go Baz, mum's shouting on me, can I speak to you again?"
"Yeah, call this number when you can!"
"Ok bye Barry."
"Bye."
I came off the phone and Lofty seemed to know how i'd react, he gave me a hug as I cried!
