Fourteen

A/N: Here it is. The plan. it is one of my weaker chapters for this story.

Rick, Oscar, Johnny, Tee, Harry, Tyler, Cassie and Alana were all sat in the girls room. "What can we do?" Alana asked.

"Stage a protest?" Cassie suggested.

Tee and Johnny shook their heads. "Last protests Lily fell of the roof, the police were almost called when we locked ourselves in the basement and Mike almost died when Tracy and Sapphire went to protest at Sapph's old flat," Tee told them.

Cassie, Alana and Oscar exchanged a look. "Ok, don't protest then. We just need to prove that we want Jamie to stay and why," Oscar said.

"Gus," Rick exclaimed. "he could write one of his lists. Reasons Jamie shouldn't move to Scotland." Alana nodded.

"That's a great idea and we can explain how we don't mind having our holidays in Scotland if Jamie wants to see his sister. I've never been to Scotland before. I want to see what it's like up there and if snows all the time like we are told it does," Alana added.

Johnny and Harry smiled. "Jeff doesn't want Jamie to leave so, me and Jeff will talk to Gus," Harry said quietly. Alana smiled at the little boy.

"Go on then Harry go get Gus and tell him we need him to write a list: Reasons why Jamie can't move to Scotland. Get everyone to give one to Gus and then once he has done that to come find us," Cassie told him. Harry nodded and opened the door before running out. A second later Summer poked her head round the door.

"Mike says it's dinner," she announced before waiting for Rick to get out. Everyone stood up and followed Rick and Summer downstairs. Alana saw Harry stood with Gus. Gus nodded before turning to the group on the stairs.

"I'll do it. Can Mike, Gina and Tracy know?" Gus asked. Oscar shook his head.

"no Gus. They can't. They are the ones who want to send Jamie away. And Jamie can't know either," Oscar explained. Rick nodded as he carried on down the stairs.

***Four hours later***

Summer had returned home and everyone else was sat in the lounge. Mike came in to put Harry to bed. "bedtime Harry, you too Jeff," Mike said, ruffling the little boys hair. Harry refused to go up. "Come on Harry. Bed," Mike said again. Harry shook his head.

"Not until Jamie stays," Harry said determinedly. It was part of the plan.

"We heard," Rick said not naming who had actually heard the conversation. "We don't want Jamie to leave and we know he doesn't want to leave. Gus."

"1. Jamie is a kind hearted boy who laughs at Harry's jokes. So he can't leave. 2. We would all get holidays in Scotland and we could see a different country when we took Jamie up to Scotland to see Alisa. 3. Jamie has made lots of friends who would miss him. 4. He doesn't want to go. 5." Gus started reading the list.

Mike cut in. "Ok Gus I get the picture but you lot would start to get annoyed spending all your holidays in Scotland."

"No we wouldn't. There's snow in Scotland," Cassie said laughing. Alana laughed too. Everyone smiled widely at Mike except Jamie who looked shocked at the idea of his friends helping him to stay.

"Alright then. Jamie can stay. Now bed Harry," Mike said. Harry jumped up, hugged Summer, Cassie, Tee, Oscar and Rick before following Mike upstairs. Since Sapphire had left Tee and Rick had been like his new mummy and daddy and he had decided that they were a great pair and always hugged them now. Harry had also decided that Cassie, Alana and Oscar were his friends.
