It was 3 day's later and i woke up and walked downstare's to see my mum sat on the sofa, and i went to sit beside her. "Mum im going to go out for a bit" I was going to see Joshua, Pat and Tommy. When Joshua came to see me he had been a bit off with me.

"Yeah ok" she didn't look at me, she was just looking out the window and then she turned to me and got her purse and pulled out some money. "You need Breakfast so get a cereal bar or something" I smiled, my first smile since dad left.

I took the money from her and left. I was a smart four year old that could go to shop's and knew how to get back home. Dad once joked that if i was to ever get ganged up on by a gang of bully's, then i would have them all knocked out within five minute's, because i was a Mitchel and i had red hair.

I walked to the corner shop and bumped into Pat and her mother. Pat looked up at her mother and it was like they were talking through the mind as Janine nodded and said "Be home at lunch time though" she then walked away leaving me and Pat stood there, looking at eachother.

"Im sorry about you're Dad" Pat appoligized. "My mum say's those police are realy strict"

I nodded. "Do you know what's wrong with Joshua, he came round 3 days ago with his mum and he went up to my room and we stood in silence for age's till he pushed me over and then ran downstare's"

"His Dad has gotten taken away to" Pat told me

"Why"

"My mum said it had something to do with what happened year's ago. Joshua's dad and you're dad went to this house and Joshua's dad did something realy bad and you're dad watched, my mum wouldn't tell me what bad stuff it was all i know is that it was bad"

I frowned, so you can get in trouble if you watched something realy bad.

"So where are you going now" Pat asked and i pointed to the corner shop.

I walked into the corner shop with Pat and walked over to the cereal bars and got two Coco pop's one's. I then walked over to the counter and saw a tall, coloured Man smiling down at me.

Me and Pat smiled and i placed the cereal bar's on the counter.

We then left the shop and sat on the bench outside.

"Pat do you think i will ever see my Daddy again" I asked and Pat looked at me, i could tell that she wasn't sure but never the less she answerd "I think you will alway's see you're daddy, he's in here" she pointed to her chest.

I then heard two people talking and i looked up and saw Joshua with Tommy and i ran over to them. "Joshua, speak to me" Pat fallowed behind me.

Joshua just glared at me and the next thing i know he kick's my ankle and i fall over.

"JOSHUA" Yelled Pat, while Tommy ran to my side. "Not cool" Said Tommy as he helped me up. I stood up and the next thing i know Joshua lunge's at me and we start fighting in the street, we were rolling over the road and throwing punche's, i didn't want to hurt him but it wasn't my fault on what his dad did.

I could hear people yelling and i could make out Tommy and Pat's voices as well, but i was more focussed on throwing my fist's at his face. The next thing i know, im being pulled up by my mum and Joshua is getting pulled up by his mum.

"What on earth do you think you're doing" Snapped my mum.

I ignored her and through a kick at Joshua. I hit him in a place that obvously hurt him as he ended up falling over in pain.

"Can you control you're daughter" snapped Joshua's Mum

I stuck my tongue out at her as mum dragged me away from them and took me to the house.

"What on earth do you think you're playing at" Mum yelled at me once we got into the house.

"He was being mean and pushed me" I told her

"What's happened" asked Grandma Branning.

"She got into a fight with Joshua" Said mum as she sat beside me on the sofa.

"Violence is never the answer" said Grandad Branning

"I have a surprise for you though" mum said with a smile. I looked at her hoping it had something to do with dad.

"I got this letter in the post and we are alowed to go and see him" Mum said smiling

"When"

"This afternoon" She said

I coudn't help but feel realy happy, i jamp up and hugged her like there was no tomorrow and then i ran upstare's to look good for when i see dad.
