Adopted

Chapter 16

Dan's POV

Hearing a doctor ask your daughter why she tried to kill herself is the worst thing to hear on a weekday morning.

She is getting worse again but wont tell me or lion why.
I hate secrets.
I understand she is a teenage girl and deserves privacy but i want to know why my baby is so desperately unhappy.

Its not healthy for her.
She isnt eating again.
She isnt sleeping either.
I dont know whats happening, but i need to.

As we come out of the hospital i decide to take her to get some girly advice, from a lady who has experienced some bad things; Louise.

When we arrive Louise comes to the door with Darcy perched on her hip.

"Hi guys!" She chirps, "what brings you to the sog household?"

"Well lou i have a favour to ask" i say to her.

"Alright, come on in, dont wanna leave you three on the doorstep!" She smiled and beckoned us in.

so then phil and i sent skaiyler into darcy's room with darcy so they could play whilst the three of us spoke about skaiyler.

Louise listened intently through the whole explanation.
She agreed to help as much as possible and by the end of the whole story she was in tears.

"I want to help, truly" she said sobbing, tissue in hand.

Once we were all sorted skaiyler came through with a sleeping darcy in her arms.

"She was tired so i read her a book and she fell to sleep, im sorry" skaiyler said almost in a whisper.

"No hun, you've really done me a favour here. Thats the fasted i've ever seen her fall to sleep" Louise thanked skaiyler.

"Oh, well thats okay" skaiyler said surprised.

"Well me and phil are gonna go home, and we'll pick you up in about 2 hours, okay?" I told phil and Louise.

"Wh-what?" Skaiyler stuttered.

"Well hun im louise, you're gonna stay with me for a few hours and we're gonna have a girly day and a girly chat, if you want of course, its completely up to you on whether you wanna stay" Louise explained.

"O-okay" skaiyler agreed and hugged us goodbye.

NOBODYS POV

Skaiyler looked up at louise who had a grin wider and friendlier than the Cheshire cat.

"Well hun, your fathers wanted me to have a talk with you about some stuff thats been going on with you.
They figured i could give you girly advice on things" louise says.

"Right, what did dad's want us to talk about?" Skaiyler asked politely.

"Maybe whats underneath those sleeves" louise replies.

Skaiyler bites her lip, "they told you?" She asks looking at the floor.

"Look hun, im not gonna judge you. I have a lot of bad memories from when i was around your age and at the time i didnt like to say to anyone what was going on but a worry shared is a worry halved, wanna tell me why at least?" Louise said.

"Well, my-my girlfriend and i were really happy.
She helped me, listened, understood.
She boosted my confidence and for once i felt happy, like all the sadness and worries would be paused whilst i was with her.
She would wipe away my tears and hug me till my ribs hurt.
She also made me laugh a lot, something which was hard to do when you're usually sad.
Its like she was my peter pan, taking me to neverland.
Where all my worries and doubts and sadness just faded into the abis.
Thats why lost boys by ruth by was our song.
