1. Story so Far
Skye POV
So... hi...?
We haven't spoken in a while have we? Well just to refresh your memory, Hey, I'm Skye May. Last time you heard of me I went to live with my Dad and his family. Well, I'm still living with him and just recently, we moved to New Zealand.
And... and... can I be honest with you? Promise you won't tell Dad or Lots (Charlotte's nickname). They'll kill us. We hate it here. Me and Lisa that is. It was exciting at first, a fresh new start. But, I had to leave Liam, Tee and Frank behind. I don't care anyway. They promised we'd text each other every day at the most. I haven't heard from them at all and I've been here for 2 years now and they haven't called once!
"Bye Skye" Tee cried as Liam and Frank's faces crumpled holding back the tears.
"We'll never forget you" Frank convinced us.
"Yeah, we promise we'll call every day" Liam promised.
("...every day, every day, every day...")
Liam's words spin round my head when I think about that moment. The moment when I actually thought I had friends. I was wrong. They just said that so there would be no trouble when I left. They were probably relieved when I left.
The door slams shut.
"Thank goodness vat's 'er gone!" Liam exclaims.
"Yeah I was almost dying from being sensitive and nice around her!" Tee says
"Jeff thinks Skye was annoying!" Harry says
"Tell Jeff, he's right." Frank agrees
"When I told her she looked nice, I don't think the stupid girl realised I was being sarcastic!" Elektra laughs
"Yeah, I mean, it's not like any of us actually liked her!" Carmen announces.
"AHHHHH!" I screamed sitting up in bed. I wasn't the only one crying. Lisa was crying as well. I walked over to her and hugged her as she cried. She calmed down a bit and I put her back to bed.
"I don't want to be here Skye, when are we going home?" She asked sleepily.
"Probably not dear" I answered as she sobbed before falling asleep.
I hate it here and as you can tell, so does Lisa.
It's 6:00pm, and there's a knock at the door.
"Come in" I whisper
"Hey, Skye,"
"Hi Dad, what's wrong?"
"I was wondering if, seeing as your 14 now, so grown up. I was wondering if you could look after Lisa for a couple hours while Charlotte and I go out." He asks
"Err well..."
"Thanks dear" Dad says, not even bothering to listen to what I had to say about it.
And it got worse. They started going out every Friday, then Saturday's too. Then add on Sunday's and Monday's and every night, every week. Then every hour of every day. Dad started missing work, saying one day didn't matter, but he said that every day. Until this happened:
The door slammed. I was reading a story to Lisa and colouring in the pictures as we went along.
"What's up Dad?" I asked
"I've lost me job cos I didn't turn up for 1 month. Why didn't ya tell me vat I should go to work?!" He had a go at me.
"I did but you didn't listen to me, you just said that one day didn't matter!" I said raising my voice.
"Oi missy! Don't you dare use that tone of voice with me. No matter how much you deny it, loosin' me job was all your fault!" He screamed storming upstairs and slamming the door. Charlotte walked in to see Lisa and me hugging each other sobbing.
"What's wrong?" She asked, she sounded really concerned.
"Daddy said that is was Skye's fault that he lost his job." Lisa cried.
"Well it isn't her fault, he stayed out, he told me he was on holiday."
"He always said, one day doesn't matter." I proved.
"Well one day always matters. I'll go speak to him, talk some sense into the man" She said, confidently.
She walked upstairs. We heard talking, which rose to shouting, then we heard Charlotte scream. Dad stomped down the stairs and stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind him. Lisa and I looked at each other, before I picked her up and rushed up the stairs.
Charlotte was lying on the floor, bruises all over her and a bleeding nose.
"Daddy did this?" Lisa asked, crying.
"We've gotta go, now, when Dad gets like this, he'll apologise, but it'll just get worse!" I said
"Alright" She didn't bother to argue, she just got up and started packing.
"Come on we need to be quick." I started "He'll be back in a couple of hours, we need to be at least at the airport by then."
So that's where we are now. I ran to the computer and booked plane tickets to the UK and also, after checking with Charlotte, booking her into a Women's refugee. I really didn't want to but I had to dial
(Mike - Skye)
Hello, Ashdene Ridge, Mike Milligan speaking?
Hey Mike, it's Skye, I'm coming back with Lisa.
What? Why? Skye? Skye?
I'd cut him off.
"I've booked you into the refugee and Lisa and I are going back to the Dumping Ground."
"Is that alright girls" Charlotte asked.
"Yeah!" Lisa shouted, "I'll make new friends, me and Mummy can play with them!"
"Lisa dear, we can't live with Mummy, she has to live somewhere else but I can take you to visit her." She started crying.
"Don't worry, you can phone Mummy" Charlotte cried.
I cleaned up Charlotte's wounds before helping Lisa pack her things. I managed to fit everything of ours into our backpacks. Charlotte crammed everything in, eventually. I took the laptop leaving no trace of where we had went.
We took the car as well and drove to the airport. We got on our plane and Lisa fell asleep and I played on the laptop until it died when I settled down to get some rest. Charlotte had fallen asleep too...
The plane soared through the air suddenly the alarm went off! Hello, this is you Captain. There's been an engine failure in the plane and we are coming to land in a field in the UK." Suddenly the brakes failed and the plane went straight into the field and...
BOOM!
I clutched Lisa and Charlotte tight before I blacked out.
Ooosh! Ahhh! Dunno what to say!
Magic Enjoy
