The family that she finally deserved

Bella POV//
Alessia and I had stayed in the living room, whilst Leah went to go and call my care worker. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, I was shitting bricks. I was thinking that Ms Webber would make me go back to Adam and Claire or the care home, I wanted to stay here.
"Less, are you sure you want me" I said and began to cry
"Listen Bells, we want you more than anything, we weren't expecting to be look after a child so soon, but now we couldn't be more excited and we are really hoping everything works in our favour" she said trying to comfort me
"Thank you" I said quietly
"You don't need to thank us Bells"
In that moment Leah walked in, i was crossing my fingers hoping she wasn't going to say the two worst things"
"Right so basically Ms Webber is coming here at 3 to check environment, and speak to you Bella, and they are sending investigators here to speak to you and 'unplanned' search team to go to Adam and Claire, and then we will go from there"
"So she isn't making me go back" I asked
"I don't think so, she is wanting to do what you want to do as well as sorting this all out"
We all had a big hug, I couldn't be more grateful now we had a long wait till 3
"Why don't we get some breakfast" Alessia said
"I'm not hungry"
"Are you sure Bells, you haven't had anything to eat since yesterday"
"I'm sure"
"Okay, well let us know when you are" Leah added
"W-would I be able to message my friend?"
"Of course no need to ask?"
"Thank you, I haven't seen her well since football yesterday, but I used to see her all the time until Adam and Claire took my phone and wouldn't let me see her"
"Here you can use my phone" Leah said handing it to me
I slowly typed in the number making sure it was correct.

Leah Williamson
Hey Mia, its Bella, let me know if you get this

Mia Folly
Hey Bells!, why are you messaging as Leah

Leah Williamson
There is so much to update you on and I am sorry I never told you sooner, especially when we stopped meeting up

Mia Folly

Leah Williamson
Okay, chat later xx
10.31am

I was at a piece of mind knowing I would be able to explain everything to Mia and why I have been practically ignoring her this whole time.
I gave Leah her phone back and they asked me to go and get changed, they had said that I could borrow anything I could find in either of their cupboards that would fit, i spent a while searching and trying clothes on when I finally found something that fit.
A white t-shirt with some logos from Alessia and some black jeans from Leah which I then used one of her belts to help them stay up. I also borrowed a few golden bracelets and earring's. I headed back downstairs
"Okayyyy fashion icon" Leah said as I reached the bottom of the stairs
I laughed, I was definitely not expecting that as I walked down the stairs
"Give us a twirl" Alessia said holding her hand out above my head for me to then turn on "Babe it looks like someone is taking your crown at fashion" she said giving Leah a look
"Unfortunately I would have to agree" She said, looking down with a small smile "Wait!" She said suddenly "I have something that will just finish it off"
Leah quickly ran upstairs and Alessia and I could hear a lot of noise and scrambling from the bottom of the stairs before Leah emerged again
"Right sorry that took so long, right turn around Bells" I turned around and felt Leah place something around my neck "okay shut your eyes and just let me lead you" she said and started to move me slowly somewhere around the house
I was very confused
"Right open" she said, where i was surprised to see myself in front of the bathroom mirror Leah crouched down and bit and placed her hands on my shoulders "this necklace and a necklace my mother Amanda gave to me when I was 14, she always told me to look after it and the pass it down when the time was right, I couldn't imagine anyone else having it" She said looking at me through the mirror, I could tell she was trying to hide the biggest smile
"Thank you Leah, i really appreciate it" I said turning round and hugging her
"Your welcome Bells" she said hugging me back and Alessia was watching from the door frame in awe of what has just happened
"Will I get to meet Amanda one day?"
"I am sure you will Bella, I hope you will"
