My chestnut hair battled with the wind as I tried to hold Lucy's hand and all of our bags at the same time. We were walking to the entrance of the train station waiting to travel to a new house where we would live, I guess we were basically being adopted, mum died a few days ago and to say I'm upset would be an understatement, and Lucy's even worse.
We knew it was coming, I mean she was ill for years and a few nights ago it finally got the better of her. One evening the doctors said she wasn't doing well and after I heard that I just mentally prepared myself.
I also had to have serious talk with Lucy and she cried herself to sleep in my arms when she realised what was going to happen.
So now it's just us two girls left, dad and my older brother moved away when I was about 9 and I'm 13 now. I miss them so much, my brother was everything to me, he would look after me, make me laugh and hold me when I had bad dreams.
I don't think he wanted to leave but our parents said it was for the best and he knew he had to. If I'm honest I have absolutely no idea why they moved, I don't even think mum and dad divorced, they just left and I was broken.
People keep just leaving me and now all I have left is Lucy. She's 8 but incredibly strong, and I love her to pieces, I know she'll never leave me.
She tells me everything and anything and we can talk for hours. She brings out my inner child and I always have so much fun around her.
She seems to just have a way of always being energetic and happy, and it's completely contagious.
We'd made it into the station, and after I wrestled with all the bags and everything in them to find the tickets we finally boarded the train.
We found a carriage that was empty and settled down, Lucy wrested her head sleepily on my shoulder and I wrapped my arm around her, closing my eyes.
...
I opened my eyes and groaned, realising we were nearly there. I gently shook Lucy awake and waited for the train to come to a halt.
I grabbed Lucy's hand and strode past the crowds of people and got out of the building.
I looked around and saw a women, reasonably old, sitting in a black carriage with a horse in front of it.
"Excuse me are you Mrs Macready?" I asked politely
"Yes, are you the Vallely sisters?" She replied
"Yes ma'am" Lucy said sweetly, as she squeezed my hand
"Right well put your bags on here, and we can leave"
I did as she said and helped Lucy onto the carriage as I settled next to her.
After about 20 minutes we arrived at a massive house, it could probably pass as mansion.
I jumped down lifting Lucy afterwards and Mrs Macready took a couple of our bags and we took the rest.
The door opened and revealed a beautiful hallway, with expensive statues, amazing paintings and a big stair case.
Lucy and I followed Mrs Macready upstairs taking in the wonderful surroundings, we were sharing a room so we dropped all the bags and flopped onto a bed.
"This is your room, no food or drink, no shoes and you're to be in bed by 9 o'clock" she said plainly
I thanked her as she left and smiled at Lu knowing this wasn't as bad as we thought.
