1. Heather
Heather sighed. She was back in her old room at the care home, after another short stint with some foster parents. At 10 years old she was exceptionally bright with an extraordinary IQ, very good-looking and very sporty. She had everything most people wish for except for one thing - she had no parents. She had been born in hospital; to a woman no one knew the name of, who'd run off into the night, leaving Heather in the hands of Social Services. Her room looked as it always did, the care home never gave her any money to paint the walls or get a new carpet, in fact they never spared any expense on her at all. They gave her £3 a week to spend on little things, like sweets and stationery and bought her the necessary clothes she needed like school uniform, a winter coat and jeans. Additional clothes like tops and pyjamas were bought using a £7 clothes fund, which fed into a bank set up in her name.
There was a drip coming from above and Heather looked up to see a rapidly growing patch of damp form above her desk. It must've come from the broken shower, which nobody had bothered to fix. She looked down at the picture she was drawing, but couldn't bothered to carry on, so she scrunched it and chucked at the bin. It hit the rim and bounced out, but Heather had no energy to pick it up. Checking her watch she saw that it was already 9 o'clock, so she headed over to her bed, slipped on her nightdress and fell into a deep sleep.
