(Poppy's POV)

I had a feeling I was in trouble, I was after all supposed to be grounded, but I had a plan for that... I was just going to pretend to forget we'd even had that conversation. I was expecting Adam to be there, they liked to gang up on me. I walked into the kitchen where they were both sat at the kitchen table like I was on trial or something. It was weird. There was something different about the place as well but, I couldn't put my finger on what it was.

"What's going on?" I asked

"Sit down Poppy..." Adam said

I sat as close to the door as possible, incase I needed to make a quick getaway because I had a feeling that this was a lecture...They both had their serious faces on. Okay, so I'd misbehaved a little bit with Finn it wasn't that big a deal. Was it? Then I realised the door wasn't there...That's what was missing. The doors.

"Poppy, we feel that you're getting worse both your behaviour and your depression... I can't just sit back and watch you destroy yourself, so things are going to change. I've booked you two appointments with Lara every week for the foreseeable future and I'm going to drive you there myself" Rachel said

"What? You had no right to do that!" I said loudly

"You shouldn't have cancelled them in the first place" Rachel said

"You can't force me to go!" I told her

"You're right. I can't. But, if I can't get you to Lara, I'll bring Lara to you..."

I sighed heavily, this was all Adam! There was no way Rachel would do this to me!

"I've have removed everything sharp from the house and as you might have noticed the doors are gone too. It might seem drastic, but it's for your own good. I can't just let you hurt yourself and do nothing... I'm supposed to protect you!" Rachel said

"You don't get it! Neither of you do! I can't just stop! Why can't you just accept that this is my way of coping!?" I said getting upset "He's put all these ideas in your head! He's not my dad. I don't care what some stupid piece of paper says!"

"Poppy! That's enough!" Rachel scolded

"Finn gets me! You two don't even listen to me!" I yelled

"Yeah you won't be seeing Finn anytime soon" Adam said

"You can't stop me! What are you going to do? Shut me in my room? Oh wait, you took away the doors. You don't even live here so what makes you think I'm going to do anything you say?" I asked

"Actually he does live here, as of tomorrow morning" Rachel said

"That's a joke right?"

Rachel shook her head softly. "No and I want your phone. You can have it back when I've seen an improvement in your behaviour... I'm trying to help you but I need you to help yourself too. You have to talk to Lara, she can help you!"

"You're not having my phone! And I'm not saying a word to Lara... I don't need her help and I don't need yours!" I yelled

"Poppy, don't speak to your mum that way!" Adam scolded

"Oh bite me!" I snapped

I stood up and went into the hall...Luckily for me; I'd kept my shoes on. I grabbed my bag and my coat and bolted out the front door.

"Poppy! Get back here!" Rachel shouted

Adam was hot on my heels but I kept going, I could out run him easily... I was young and I'd been running my entire life. I made it into town and finally lost him, I stopped to catch my breathe keeping away from the main road in case Rachel came round in the car. I pulled out my phone and dialled Finn's number...Then I waited as the dial tone sounded.

"Knew it wouldn't be long" Finn chuckled as he answered

"Listen, Finn... You know your parents are away the rest of the week? Have you got room for one more?" I asked

"Yeah course I have, we can have ourselves a party" Finn said

"Thanks I'll see you soon"

(Rachel's POV)

This is what I was afraid of... Poppy hating me and me losing her altogether. I knew she would have gone running straight to Finn but, what could I do? Go storming round there with Adam and push her away more? Maybe I should just leave her to calm down and ring her in the morning? I poured myself a glass of wine and sat back at the table. What did Finn have over her? I couldn't stop asking myself that question. What was it? I had noticed the pair were very similar but Poppy had a lot more going on then met the eye and I just wanted to protect her.

"She's a teenager, she'll come back when she's hungry or she misses you" Adam tried to make me feel better

"No... You don't know her like I do. She's been running all her life, that's the one thing she knows how to do and she knows how not to be found as well... God, Adam what if she doesn't come back?"

Adam put his arms around me from behind and leaned over holding me softly. I always felt safe with Adam... We'd known each other forever and we'd always been friends but since he came to Waterloo road I'd seen a whole other side to him.

"Listen, she'll be fine. Things have changed... She's never run alone, she always had Emily. I'm telling you, she'll be back here by Monday morning" Adam said

"I hope so... I'm going to have to ring Lara, let her know what's happened" I said

"We'll sort that tomorrow, just relax for now"

"I can't!" I snapped "I'm terrified she'll do something stupid. I've been there when she's ended up in hospital, when Lara had her admitted to the psychiatric ward because she completely broke down... She doesn't have her medication, if she stops taking it... It'll end in tragedy!" I ranted

"We don't even know where she's gone. What can we do? She'll come back when she's calmed down" Adam said

(Poppy's POV)

Finn's house was amazing, so big and light and open. I couldn't believe his parents left him here all alone... We sat up in Finn's room on the bed; we'd just been talking over beer. Things with Finn were so simple and easy, he got me and I got him... Not like with Rachel, she loved me and she tried but she'd never understand exactly how I felt neither would Lara she was just there to 'fix me'. Finn had, had an idea it seemed strange at first but it was a good idea... We were going to cut together. Finn promised he'd keep me safe and for some strange reason I trusted him with my life. I didn't have to be embarrassed or ashamed with Finn. He held out the Razor and I took it. I'd changed out of my uniform into some of Finn's clothes which where too big but it didn't matter. I ran the razor down my arm and then Finn took it and made a cut on his arm...

"Feels good doesn't it?" He asked

"What?"

"Having someone to share it with, someone that understands?"

"Yeah it does" I said, smiling "What happens when your parents get back?"

"They're not back until next weekend, we'll sort it then..."
