Forest's POV

I stood in the doorway, watching them sleep. Autumn's head rested so neatly on his chest, his arm came round lay protectivly over her back. I loved watching them like this, they looked so peaceful. They loved eachother. I loved them. I took one last picture on my black cannon camera before walking back to my newly decorated room.

Considering I'd been sleeping at Gran's, it was actually kinda nice to sleep in a bed again. Even though I was living with her, she didnt exactly have the spare room that you'd expect. Sleeping on the floor was pretty hard. Gran's new husband hated me, the daughter of a druggie he used to say. He never metioned Autumn, I guess Gran never brought her up.

Once I was back in my room and settled in bed, I pulled out my dark blue laptop that I'd been carrying with me for nearly a month. I slipped out the memory card from my camera and placed it into the USB port, I didnt realize how many pictures I'd taken when I was away and back at home in Devon.

But one picture stood out in my mind, a black and white photo of Autumn and Peter walking along Devon beach. Holding hands, Autumn in her long white flowing dress with Peter in a white shirt and jeans. They seemed so happy together.

After I'd scaned my pictures and printed a few, I tidyed up and played around on my laptop until I got sleepy. I opened my online diary, even though it was 29 page word document it still ment alot to me. I looked at the first page in big black bold writing spoke:

Name's Forest.

Birth Name Lauren.

I'm 14 years old. Born in the month of our lord April in the year of our sovriegn Elizabeth 1997.

I have one sister, Autumn she's like a mother to me.

My Mother, well thats a different story.

She's in and out of rehab, she's a druggie you see. But you wouldn't understand.

My Dad, isnt like any old Dad.

He's in prison, for manslaughter. I know he didnt do it, I was there. But he's free now, he came looking for me.

I have a brother named Sam, he's missing. I miss him.

Now you know alot about me, how about you...

tears fell down my face, I must have written this when I was away.

I fell asleep.

Peter's POV

I found Forest asleep with her laptop still on, I tip-toed in. I took the laptop off her legs, turning it off and putting it back in the case by the side of her bed.

I placed the covers over her, before sitting on the side of her bed. She was rather cute when she slept. There were the days, when me and Autumn used to stand in the doorway of her room back in Devon.

I understood that Forest leant on me as a father figure, while Clive wasnt around and she saw Autumn as a second chance to have a mother.

I walked out into the hall, gently shutting Forest's door behind me.

"Your up" I whispered, as Autumn came out of our bedroom and stood oppsite me.

She nodded and yawned. "Come back to bed"

I smiled and walked towards her, I pulled her to me. Her arms around my neck as I placed one arm around her waist to secure a safe barrier to her.

And we stayed like that.
