Clems POV

I sigh with happiness as Ironhide pulls in the familiar drive at my house.

My mum comes bursting out the door.

'WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?' She screams. 'I GET THIS RANDOM PHONE CALL ABOUT HOW YOU WENT MISSING! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING?'

'Mum! calm down!' I soothe.

'CALM DOWN? DO YOU HONESTLY EXPECT ME TO-' she breaks off as she sees that my left arm is missing.

She comes closer. 'AND WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU? YOU- YOU FREAK!'

'Mum I can explain!'

She stops me talking by slapping me across the face. Hard.

'Oww!' I squeak.

'Get your stuff! I want you off my property in 15 minutes! And dont come back you little freak!'

I let out a strangled cry of shock.

I then silently went up to my room and shoved some stuff in my bag.

More clothes, laptop , $500 and two pairs of shoes - black converse and a pair of coral coloured thongs.

I stumble out of the house and Ironhide opened the door for me.

My mum was still standing in the doorway glaring daggers at me.

I close the door and Ironhide drives off around the corner.

And stops.

I dont ask what he was doing. His holo-form appears and he pulls me into a tight embrace meant for comfort I sob quietly on his shoulder for a little while.

I had been looking forward to seeing my mum, but now it looked as though I'd never see her again.

Sams POV

I am hanging out with Bee in the backyard talking.

'But seriously Bee why did you-' I was saying but he interupted me.

'Hold on Sam, I'm getting a comm request from Ironhide.'

I stay quiet for a moment.

'Her mother did what?' Bee exlaimed angrily. 'Yeah- yeah ok.'

'What happened?' I ask confused.

'Clem was kicked off out of her house because her mother thinks shes a freak.' Bee said, still angry 'Ironhide's taking her to a hotel for now. he just thought we should know in case we want to contact them.'

'Wait tell them to stop going where theyre going just for a minute!'

I jump up and ran inside.

'Hey mum, you know that girl I told you about- Clem?' I say to my mum.

'Oh that poor child- getting threatened by decepticons! is she ok now?' she says, Optimus had told her why I was staying on base so long.

'Well thats the thing- not really her mum kicked her out of her house...can she stay here a while?' I ask hopefully.

Her faces is full with concern and she says 'Oh yes she can stay as long as she needs the poor thing! I'll go get the guest room ready.'

And she hurries off.

I dial Clem's mobile number and wait for her to answer.

'Hello?' she sounds as though she's been crying.

'Hey Clem, I uh heard what happened and I'm really sorry. Come stay here instead of a hotel though, we've got a spare room we don't use,and my parents- well my mum say its all fine!'

'Oh no don't worry-' she begins

'No seriously Clem...My mum will not rest until she knows you're okay. Really, she gets freaky...'

She laughs. 'Are you sure your parents dont mind?'

'Positive.'

'Okay well, thanks so much Sam, it means alot' she says.

About half an hour later Ironhide turns up in our driveway.

My mum rushes out of the house and as soon as Clem gets out of the car she pulls Clem into a tight, motherly hug- one I'm sure she hasn't ever gotten from her mum.

'Thanks for letting me stay Mrs. Witwicky.' she says politely.

'Oh its no problem! and call me Judy, honey.' my mum says.

Clem smiles and says. 'Ok.'

My mum beckons for Clem to come inside, so Clem slings her back pack over her shoulder and comes in.

'Sam will show you to your room.'

'Oh, yeah its right up here' I say as I climb the stairs.

I gesture to the guest room and say ' That's your room, the bathroom's on the second door to the right.'

'Thanks Sam, for everything.' Clem smiles at me and I smile back, this girl had been through so much and yet still managed to get by, I found myself admiring that.

And even though I knew that the whole mess that had happened wasnt over, I knew that for now, everything was ok.

And thats the end! I left it on a semi sorta cliffhanger so that if you guys want me to make a sequel, I can continue it pretty easily, but if you dont want one, its not too much of a cliffhanger.

PM me if you want a sequel. and please REVIEW!
