If you asked Marlene what her relationship with Liam was like, she'd say it was okay. The two hadn't really hung out alone together and seemed to only really hang out when Frank was around.
But when Liam comes back from yet another foster home and...
"Tee, grab my hand. You have to!" Johnny called. "I'm slipping."
"Tee, grab his hand, you can do it." Marlene called, trying to reassure the girl.
Hesitantly, Tee nodded her head, kneeling down on the branch and taken Johnnys hand to pull him up.
Just as Johnny made it safely onto the branch, Tee immediately fell, letting out a loud scream as she dropped.
Marlene's breath hitched as she watched the girl she thought of as a little sister drop from the tree.
Just before she was about to hit the ground, a beanbag landed under her, assuring her safety.
The group each let out sighs of relief as they looked to see Toby standing above the girl.
Carmen, Lily, and Marlene each ran over to the girl, hugging her tightly as they checked to see she was okay.
Toby threw the other beanbag so Johnny was able to land safely as well.
"That's so cool, I want to do that." Liam grinned though it immediately dropped when he caught the glare Marlene was giving him.
"Get away from her." Johnny said, standing up and stopping Tracy from making her way towards Tee. "My sister could have been killed."
Sapphire stepped forward. "Back off Johnny, Tracy didn't make Tee climb the tree." She reminded him.
"Yes, she did!" Johnny yelled, getting in Sapphires face before he was pulled away by Marlene. "Ask her! She caused all of this. Cause she's a stupid, interfering, bigheaded idiot who'll never be good at anything - writing books, working here, anything!"
Tracy stared at Johnny for seconds before turning around. "Tee, are you okay?" She asked. Tee nodded her head.
Checking his watch, Johnny looked to Tracy. "Your shifts over, so why don't you just go home and never come back?"
Tracy nodded her head before leaving. Marlene sighed watching her go, leaning her head against Jacks shoulder.
As much as Tracy was to blame, so was Johnny. Had he not been so controlling, Tee wouldn't have felt the need to climb the tree for a bit of freedom.

Marlene was sat in the living room watching tv with Harry, Liam, and Frank. After the events of yesterday, no one could be bothered to do anything.
"Where are my books?" Tracy asked, standing in front of the four with her hand on her hip.
Marlene looked to her confused. "In Liam's room?" She reminded her.
Tracy shook her head. "The rest of them?"
"What are you talking about?" Marlene asked equally confused.
"Tracy, before you do anything, I really liked your book." Liam said, holding his hands up in defense.
Tracy raised her eyebrow. "Oh, forget it. Lying won't save you." She scoffed.
"No, honest!" Liam said, sitting up properly. "I really read it! About how you had nothing, but what you did have was your mates." He explained. "It really made me realize what I have." He said, looking to Frank who smiled.
Marlene watched the two with a soft smile.
"Wow." Tracy said shocked. "You really liked it?" She smiled before it dropped. "So where are they then?"
"I can explain." It was Frank who spoke now. He sat up straight. "Remember yesterday?" He began explaining how after the tree incident, both Liam and Frank had gone back for the books but as they were on their way, they saw a man putting the books into the back of his van. They chased after it, but no matter how fast they ran they couldn't catch up.
"Tracy, is now a good time to mention that you owe us two pound?" Liam asked, avoiding eye contact.
