Call #7
"Hello, my name's Samantha. Would you like to tell me your name?"
"I need Chelsea."
...
"Phil? You didn't call me on Friday."
"Dad's coming to get me on Thursday. He phoned but Mum don't know and he said that he's going to take me from her and I won't have to see her again. He couldn't talk long and I had to whisper because Mum was home and she would go ballistic if she knew, but he said that he can't let me stay with her anymore. I had to tell you but I can't talk long, Mum'll hear, but I had to tell you, Chelsea."
"That's good, that's really good, Phil. I'm glad your dad's getting you."
"Me too, but I have to go now. Can I phone when I'm with him?"
"You can phone whenever. We're here for you about anything that bothers you, even if it's a little thing, okay? If you're worried about school you can phone. No one'll turn you away."
"Thanks, Chelsea!"
"I need Chelsea."
