'This is what happened next'
Ellie- 'Why is she here? where's my Dad ...and Mum?'
Jess- I am your mother Ellie...now sit down
Mr Pierce- Take a seat immediately Miss De' Vill....I suggest you drop that attitude straightaway'
I sat down...I just wanted to run back out of the door. This was the first time I met Jess...she left when I was only a few hours old , Dad told me...I didn't expect to ever see her..specially not in my headmasters office.
Mr Pierce- As I was saying Miss Ebadi, Ellie started out very well with us but in recent times her work has deteriorated noticebly. To the extent where we are concerned for her future here with us....I have refrained from taking our usual measures because you have been such a generous benefactor...but as you realise ..we have standards to maintain here..'
Jess- Yes Mr Pierce of course... I feel responsible for my daughters poor performance...she is living with her...father and his ...girlfriend and their children...I imagine it must be almost impossible for Ellie to study properly in the midst of all the noise...
Ellie- They're not noisy....
Mr Pierce and Jess- Don't interrupt!
Jess- I have a new apartment in a good area by the beach now....and as I will no longer be travelling as much I feel it is time to step in and take over the primary care of my daughter before any further damage is done'
Ellie- I don't want to leave Dad and Mum...I won't !!! I want to stay with them and my little sister and brother!!!"
Jess- Step siblings...not real sister and brother
Ellie- how the hell would you know anything about families?
Mr Pierce- MISS DE'VILL!!!! I am apalled you would speak to your own mother with such disrespect...you should be ashamed of yourself!!! Miss Ebadi I applaud you in your decision to intervene and remove Ellie from such an unhealthy influence...I dread to think of what goes on in that house!
I stood up ..I couldn't bear to hear anymore from either of them...I felt so sick I wanted to hurl on the gross carpet....and my hands were shaking like crazy
Mr Pierce- SIT DOWN !
Ellie- BITE ME!
Jess- I can see you need my help more than I could ever have realised...I'm sorry Mr Pierce...I will get my lawyer to start custody proceedings as soon as possible!
Ellie- I hate you Jessica...you don't know me and you have no right to run my family down...you're a selfish sl*t...and you Mr Pierce can ram this stuffy hell hole right up your shrivelled a**
I felt eyes burning into my back as I turned and walked out the office ..I wanted to run and cry...but there was no way on earth I would let them see me weaken...I knew I had stirred up a hornets nest...but my family had been through tough times before....and I knew Dad and Kira would be there for me ...
I could hear them muttering as I leant against the hall wall..
Mr Pierce- Rest assured Miss Ebadi, you have my absolute support ...if there is anything myself and the board of governers can do to assist you, I vow we shall
Jess- Thank you Mr Pierce...I think I can deal with my ex partner and his girlfriend...I never had too much trouble with him before.'
