Chapter 2
Skye's POV
I sat in my room, on my own. Mum had walked out on me because I remind her of Dad. Dad died last night, it was because he was ill. He had an illness that no-one could cure, so he went away and Mum said he isn't coming back. So Mum got ready and told me she was going away and wasn't coming back. I thought she was dying to but she wasn't, she was just walking out on me, she left me on my own. I screamed and cried for her, mind you, I was only 6.
Urrgh! Those damn flashbacks!
I've been alone for 2 years now. No-one has come for me, not Mum, not anyone. Hang on! There's someone at the door, they're opening it. "Who is it" I shouted. Suddenly a middle-aged man came into my room and calmly told me to pack my stuff and come with him to a nice place called Elmtree House, a care home. Mum used to tell me about those places, and how she would never dream of sending her 'little princess' there. He said his name was Mike so I asked Mike where my Mum was. That was when it happened; he told me my Mum was no longer in this world. I don't know why he was wording it like that, I mean I was 8 and my Dad had died 2 years ago and I knew that then. But my Mum was now gone too. She was running across the road when suddenly she got... well... y'know...sort of hit... kinda by a car.
Whoa! Anyway I guess that's my story spread, both my parents are 'No longer in this world' as Mike says.Anyway, less of the sad, soppy stuff before my eyes start watering. Guess what while Frank was visiting his Grandad, Liam and I sold Tracy's cake this time and yes encountered that big, scary, burly man who dragged us across the street for the second time but luckily we fought him off us and outran him as we knew that if he brought us back again our fate would be before us. We made £55 this time. We'd hit the jackpot! We could buy burgers and chips when Frank gets back to cheer him up instead of getting into trouble for doing the dive. So apart from the flashbacks today was great!
