'It has been a couple of months since Darren's Accident and I feel that I
am finally coming to terms with his death. Life still isn't back to normal
as Mum still gets upset and runs away, which makes it harder because I
think she is bottling it all up like I was. She will never admit that she
is crying or thinking about Darren which makes it harder for me and Dad to
cope because we cannot rely on her to do anything on time, in case she runs
off into the toilets to cry.'
It was a Monday morning and we were just leaving for school, both Mum and Dad were taking me which was unusual but they told me they were going to the grave yard so I didn't pry any further in case I upset Mum. They dropped me of at School and left quickly, I walked into School to see Beth and Irene who were my two best Friends. Beth was Steve's half-sister who lived with her dad and her step-mum. Steve didn't like her as he blamed her for his Dad ignoring him.
I just got on with my day, gradually getting through the dreaded lessons like Maths and looking forward to subjects like Art, which was last in the afternoon. It seemed like an age but eventually I got past the dreaded lessons and Art started. About ten minutes into Art the secretary walked in and gave a note to the teacher, the teacher nodded and said "Annie can you go with Mrs Roberts please" I said ok and I left. As we were walking Mrs Roberts gave me a packet of tissues and guided me into the headmistresses office and then she left. Inside the headmistress's office I saw a medic and the headmistress, the headmistress said, "I'm sorry Annie ... it is ..." and then the medic said "It is your parents Annie they are ... Dead"
I ran out of the office crying, I had no intention of running away but it just happened, I kept meaning to stop but I didn't, after what must have been several hours I stopped and looked around. I had no idea where I was, I had no idea what to do, I couldn't go back now I couldn't stand being told off and I had no where to go.
I decided to keep walking when I saw the leaflet!
Cirque Du Freak
For one week only- Cirque du Freak!!
See:
Sive and Seersa – The twisting Twins

Rhamus Twobellies – Worlds Fattest man!
I kept reading it over and over again "MR SHAN" could it be, I felt I had to find out but how, I had no idea but I felt I had to do something. Then it struck me Steve he went to the Cirque Du Freak with Darren he might know! I went around to Steve's. I knew he would be at home, since Darren's death he had barely been at school. When I got there he let me in and welcomed me strangely, which made me nervous, I showed him the leaflet and he tried to snatch it but I whipped it away fast and asked him to help me. He suggested that he could help me if I would help him and he explained that he would show me how to find Darren if I would then take Darren to him. I decided to ignore him and left intent on finding Darren, I left and went to the address on the leaflet but when I got there I realised that it was advertised for last week and that I had missed it. My only hope was a tramp who explained to me that they had left to Nottingham five days ago, I left intent on finding this elusive Cirque du Freak but I guessed it would be harder than I thought and it would be a long road to finding Darren and I hoped that it wasn't a wild goose chase.
