Hey again guys here's the second chapter of the day enjoy and I will hopefully have another up tomorrow.
Chapter seven Guardian.
Billie didn't look at him; she just went back to staring at the spot on the floor. Maybe if I ignore him he will think I'm tired and just leave, Billie thought to herself hopefully. What am I thinking, he might be the last family I have and I want him to leave, Billie thought to herself feeling angry with herself.
"The doctor has said you can be released later today now that you're awake and everything seems okay." David said trying to break the silence however when he noticed that his niece had still not looked up to him he continued. "You're being released into my care" He said bluntly.
Billie looked up at him confused. Did he just say what I think he did, she thought to herself. Once again Billie's head began to race around, a million thoughts she had no idea how to feel about this. Sure it would be good for her to have another family member around especially as she had no other, but there was still something about her uncle that she could not put her figure on. Something that made her feel afraid of him.
"I have been made your legal guardian as I am the only living relative you have now, I have found a house near your school so that you don't have to switch schools but you're not going to be staying in a dorm room anymore." He said pushing for any kind of reply from Billie.
"Cant I stay with the sisters? I know them and feel safe with them." Billie said quietly looking way from her uncle towards the wall.
"I'm your family you should feel safe with me! You're staying with me Billie we're not disusing it." He uncle said loudly while walking up to Billie making her feel nervous.
"It's obvious you need a strong hand, you're still a child and you end getting yourself admitted to hospital because you're drunk!" David said to her matter-of-fact-ly.
"Don't lecture me your not my father! He said you were dead and I wish you were. I don't want to move in with you. I don't know you. I don't like you!" Billie said angrily while standing up and facing her uncle, letting all the bottled up emotions over everything that had happened to her leak out.
David walked up to Billie and slapped her hard across her face. "You will be living with me whether you like it or not I am your uncle and you will respect and bide by my rules! One of which is no rudeness like that. If you don't stop pitying your self and start showing me some respect you will find yourself in more punishment than you can handle." David threatened her while pointing his finger in her face looking and sounding angry.
Suddenly Paige walked through the door and noticed David standing in a very nervous looking Billie's face who was backed up against the wall. "Is everything okay?" She said loudly to get David's attention.
David turned around shocked to see her, and smiled at her. "Everything is fine." He said while walking back over to the centre of the room, Billie watching his every step.
"You okay?" Paige said to Billie while walking up to after seeing how nervous Billie looked. "I heard shouting." Paige continued as she reached Billie who moved her hair slightly to attempt to cover the now reddening hand mark on her left cheek.
"I don't want to move in with him yet…I want to stay with you" Billie said quietly to Paige who pulled her into a one armed hug allowing Billie to hide the reddening hand mark on her left cheek.
"Billie you're moving in with me today, we have had this conversation." Her uncle said coldly with a hint of anger still lingering in his voice. Billie hearing this wrapped her arms around Paige returning the hug that her friend was giving her.
Paige noticing this wrapped her arm around Billie a little tighter while glancing over to David, she turned back to Billie patting her on the back and lowering her arm a little so she could turn both of them around to face David.
"It might make sense to let her stay with me and my sisters for a little while. So she feels safe until she gets to know you better." Paige said trying to reason with him as she could tell Billie did really not like the idea of having to live with him.
"Well then the quicker see moves in with me the quicker we will get to know each other. Billie you are moving in with me and that's finale. I'm going to go and get the paperwork signed to get you released wait here and I will be back for you." David said leaving the room with still a slight angry tone in his voice. As he left the room he almost bumped into Phoebe who was walking back in with a bag of crisps in her hand.
"What's got up his nose?" She said making her way over to Paige and Billie. That's sweet, she thought as she noticed Paige with her arms around Billie while Billie was resting her hand on Paige's shoulder.
"I don't know." Paige replied wondering the same question herself. That defiantly was not nothing that I walked in on, Paige thought to herself looking down at the young blonde in cased in her arms.
