Thanks so much for the reviews! I didn't think I would get any at all. So here's the next chapter. Hope its alright. :)
Chapter 2 - Laural.
"Mammy hungry!" Mave yells while crying into my chest.
"I know baby, I know"
That's all I've heard for the past two days from my baby sister Mave. Only two years old and she's had to face the world without our Mum and most of the time food. She can only say those two words. That her hungry pains are back again. But this time Dad won't be coming back with food. He made that very clear. I sigh knowing what I'll have to do to find food for myself and Mave. Something that could land me in a lot of trouble.
All my life my families been poor. I was used to going without clothes, shoes, not being able to go to school, not having fun and sometimes food.
We never had enough and when Mum got pregnant when I was tweleve I knew it would only get worse. We were only just scraping by. Then when Mum died in child birth Dad didn't even want to be in the same place as us so he left for a job that only made him come home every month where he'd bring us what he thought was enough food to help us until he got back. But it was never enough. Me and Mave were lucky if it lasted us two weeks.
I walk out of the shop supprised. I'd never done this before and yet I did it so easily even though I felt really bad about it. I managed to get away with two bottles of water, two packets of sandwiches and a loaf of bread in my Mum's old brown handbag. As I start to walk away the alarm blares. I start running down the street, knowing I've been caught.
"Hey stop! Theif!" Someone yells after me.
I run faster and turn a corner and jump over a fence and into a garden. I land on my ass and whince in pain but stay silent as the sound of running feet runs by the bush fence. Once I can't heard them I let out a sigh of relief. There, me and Mave will be fine. I'll just do this until I can find a job. Happy at the fact that Mave will eat tonight I lift my arms up as if I'd just won the gold metal for England.
"Ah ha there you are"
I freeze and look up at the police man standing above me and not looking too happy.
"Stand up and hand me over your handbag misses"
Gulping I slowly stand and look around for any quick escapes. Backyard has a wooden door that's locked and the house is attached to another house. No way out. Shit. I hand him the bag. He opens it up and sighs. He shakes his head.
"Hands behinf your back, you have the right to remain silent.
"You can't send me to jail! I got a kid to look after! How can I look after her if I'm not around?"
He ignores my protests and forces me towards a police car.
So there's chapter 2. Please review and tell me what you think. Also there's going to be a dare chapter in this so if you want any character to dare another character just PM me and I'll put it in. :)
