Julie's POV

I put my small wardrobe into the drawer. Only needing one drawer for all my belongings. I went over to the bed with my journal and climbed into the most comfortable bed I have ever laid on. I sighed out loudly with a smile, I pulled the feather stuffed duvet over my body, and pulled out my fountain pen tapping it against the paper I began to write..

March 6th, 2014

Today was the first time I have given my opinion since the age of 6.. it felt weird saying what I thought with out getting a slap across the face. My cheek is a bit swollen and my lip has scabbed up.. wouldn't be the first time. I'm not sure how long this foster home will last this time but I figured I'd enjoy it while it's happening. Kimberley and Cheryl seem like nice people... but so did my other owners. Don't fall to deep into the acts Julie. No one is what they seem.

I was feeling a little sleepy so I put the journal and pen on the nightstand beside and sank back into the heavenly bed and I went to dreamland. Where I belonged.

Cheryl's POV

I woke up the next morning a little anxious. I knew I'd have to tell Julie this week that we'd have to go for a doctors appointment. I looked to me right and saw me beautiful girl asleep and all me anxiety seemed to fade away. I leaned over and placed me head onto her chest and rested my hand into her nightwear needing the feel of skin to skin contact.

"Good morning baby" Kim said waking up and kissing me head

"Good morning" I extended me neck initiating I wanted a kiss and she happily obligated

"What's up" she said rubbing me back

"Just thinking about how the week will go" I said

"Everything will fall into place, you'll see" she said

"You're right.. you're always right" I smiled to her

"About time you know it" she winked at us

"Cheeky cow" I said rolling me eyes

"I was thinking maybe we should take Julie shopping.. I couldn't help but notice she only had one bag" Kimberley said thoughtfully

"That's a good idea babe! maybe we should go see if she's up and we'll head out early make a day out of it?" I suggested

"Yeah we'll do that, but let me have a little cuddle before we get up" she said pulling us into her and fussing her lips with mine. We stayed in that embrace for 20 more minutes until we eventually got up. We walked down the hallway and stopped at Julie's door it was now 11 o'clock in the morning so she should be up. I knocked softly and opened the door to find her drowning in the duvet still asleep. I walked over to the bed and kneeled down on the edge of the bed and stoked her cheek and removing the hair from her face.

"Julie wake up pet" I shook her. I must have startled her because she jumped abit and her eyes shot open covering her face with her arms

"P-please don't hurt me" she said and me heart dropped

"No ones going to hurt you" I tried to touch her but she flinched at me touch

Julie's POV

"No ones going to hurt you" Cheryl said and it was then that I realized where I was. But she went to touch me and I didn't want the contact I was afraid.

"Hey Cheryl maybe you should go get some breakfast or something" Kimberley said

"Y-yeah ok..." Cheryl looked sad as she left the room. Kimberley walked slowly to me cautiously

"I'm not going to hurt you" she said softly

"I-I'm sorry" I apologized

"It's okay! you don't have to apologize! do you want a cuddle?" she asked with a small pout and I nodded my head yes. She brought me into her arms softly and I let out a sob into her arms, she tightened her grip around me as I cried.

"I-I'm sorry" I sobbed out

"Shhhh it's okay" she rubbed my back affectionately until my sobbing died down and my breathing evened out. I pulled away and saw Cheryl standing by the door. I didn't know what to say to her so I just looked down at my lap

"Julie we were thinking of going to the shops today all 3 of us" Kimberley said. I looked up to her and she was giving me a small smile

"I can't go out like this.. look at my face" I said pointing to the obvious bruise on my cheek

"I'll cover it up for you! I'll teach you how to put on the makeup" Cheryl said walking to me slowly

"I don't know" I shrugged

"We'll put it on if you don't like the way it looks then we'll wait another day to go to the shops" Kimberley said rubbing my forearm

"Okay" I said and Kimberley moved off my bed for me to get up as well. I followed her into the ensuite with Cheryl close behind and she pulled up the chair next to the vanity table and gestured for me to take a seat.

"Chez I think you're better at applying the makeup better than me" she told Cheryl

"Julie do you want us to do it or Kim?" Cheryl asked I think she was still a little apprehensive with me

"I don't really care.. but can I at least brush my teeth and wash my face before you apply it?" I asked

"Yeah of course" Kimberley smiled. I washed my face carefully because the bruising was still very sore and hurt with the touch.. I brushed my teeth as my face soaked with the face wash I had applied, after brushing my teeth I splashed my face with water thoroughly. I went and grabbed a face towel and dabbed my face

"Ouch" I flinched as the towel pressed against my skin

"Are you okay?" Cheryl asked worriedly

"Yeah I just pressed the towel too hard against my face" I dabbed the towel lightly on my face and placed it back on the rack

"Okay come here let us do your makeup and Kimba will do your hair" Cheryl said and I sat back in the chair

"Okay so first you're going to apply the face cream because....." Cheryl went on and on telling me how to use the lotion, and the foundation, the powders. Teaching me how to apply them and tips and tricks while Kim did my hair.. I felt like a right princess in that moment

"Anddddd done" Cheryl snapped close the powder press and I looked in the mirror and I looked different.. strangely I liked the reflection I was seeing for once.

"Do you like it?" Cheryl asked eagerly

"Yeah.. The bruising doesn't show" I said placing my hand on my cheek

"Ahem and the hair" Kimberley said with a smirk

"Oh yes of course the hair looks amazing" Kimberley had done my hair in loose curls the same way Cheryl does her brown locks cascading past my shoulders

"Thank you, thank you very much" she laughed and sticking her tongue out at Cheryl

"Okay we'll leave you to get dressed, we're going to get dressed and ready to go as well" Cheryl said kissing my hair as she left the room with Kim. I looked back at my reflection with a faint smile on my face. I got off the chair and went back into the bedroom and grabbed denim shorts and a white tight t-shirt and pulled on a pair of tan sandals. I had one more outfit, that was pretty much all I had. I walked out of my room and headed downstairs into the kitchen and walked over to the fridge grabbing a cold water bottle, Cheryl and Kimberley emerged through the kitchen hand in hand

"Sorry I-I was thirsty" I explained myself for taking a water bottle with out permission. Cheryl and Kimberley looked to me with a sad look

"Julie you don't need to apologize! this is your home now, do as you please" Kimberley said coming up to me and giving me a quick hug. Cheryl just looked a little sad and I didn't know what I did.. I've never been in a situation where I could do as I pleased. It was all new to me.

"Are you's hungry?" Cheryl asked shyly

"Just a little" I said looking away from her intense stare

"I'll make you both a sandwich knowing Cheryl she'd burn the house down with an attempt at making toast" Kimberley said making me giggle

"Are you ever going to let that go! I'm never doing anything nice for you's again!" Cheryl said making me and Kimberley laugh

"Oh you know I love you" she said going over and pinching Cheryl's cheeks

"Oh fck off!" She batted her hands away. Kim sniffed pretending to cry. I couldn't help but smile at their little banter. Kimberley went back to make the sandwiches, which we had quickly and left the house driving to the shops.. I don't know how I'm going to do this I've only ever been bought thing's out of pity never out of kindness or just because.
