A/N: I really LOVE everybody who reviewed. I really have no idea where this story is going :( So if you have any ideas PLEASE PM me :) and I will LOVE you for ever!

I am skipping a few days so Mina has had a chance to settle in and get to know everybody better.

Anyways... here is chappie five...

A new Friendship and a Fight.

Mina's P.O.V.

Tracy told us all today that Toby is coming back. I am really exited to meet another kid who stays here and hopefully he will want to be my friend.

I have been here at The Dumping Ground for nearly a week now and I have made lots of friends, I am also now friends with Carmen and Frank because they came and apologized to me for being so horrible. I have discovered that Carmen is really nice on the inside and loves dressing up like me. We have spent ages with Lily and Tee dressing each other up and having make - overs!

"Mina, do you want to come and help us get Toby's room ready? All we have to do is tidy it up a bit and Mike said if we do it quickly we can go and get ice creams with Toby when he arrives. Are you coming?"

I smiled and followed them up the stairs to Toby's blue room.

I smile a lot now, but I still don't talk. Quite a few times some of the kids in here have asked me why I don't talk, hoping to catch me out. I am going to talk, and soon, but just not yet. Not while that day is still stuck in my head. That day my sister died, and worse of all? It was my fault, I had killed my very own sister. Why? Just because she had annoyed me. What sort of person am I? I killed my own sister and pretend she ran away. I don't deserve friends. That was part of the reason I don't talk, I don't want to say anything in case I hurt anybody. And the other part is that whatever I say, no - one listens to me anyway.

Flashback

"No - one likes you Mina, you are weird and ugly," My sister Phoebe said mockingly, she was trying to get me to retaliate, but I would not, I would not let her get the better of me so I simply carried on walking, but I was walking faster, and faster, trying to get away from her remorseless teasing. But I couldn't, she was way faster than me and always won at school sports day.

We were on a family outing to Cardiff Bay ( As we lived in Cardiff at the time) . Our parents had stopped at a cafe and told us to have a little run around the beach, but nowhere they couldn't see us. I was so frustrated with my sister calling me names that I had forgotten about mum and dad's rule. Their voice came worming into my mind, and I remembered what they had said.

"Why don't you and Mina go and have a walk around the beach while we drink our tea, then love?" Said my dad to Phoebe.

"Yes, but don't go very far and remember to stay where we can see you!" My mum agreed.

"Okay," Me and Phoebe agreed happily, this was before Phoebe started teasing and mocking me, calling me names.

We ran off but soon Phoebe started to call me ugly and weird, she carried on gradually saying more horrible thing to me.

"No - one likes you Mina, you are weird and ugly," My sister Phoebe said mockingly, she was trying to get me to retaliate, but I would not, I would not let her get the better of me so I simply carried on walking, but I was walking faster, and faster, trying to get away from her remorseless teasing. But I couldn't, she was way faster than me and always won at school sports day. I was so frustrated with my sister calling me names that I had forgotten about mum and dad's rule. I half ran half walked toward Mermaid Quay, climbed up the steppes and ran along the Quay, hoping Phoebe would not see where I was. But it was too late, she had spotted me. And was running as fast as she possibly could towards me.

When she reached me she said something so horrible that I pushed her against the railings. Hard. She yelped in surprise and fell back against the railings. Then she screamed, and I saw something that I had not seen before. I had seen that the place on the railing that I had pushed her against was rusty and the railing broke, she screamed again, trying to grab onto something, but she couldn't. I lunged forward, trying to catch hold of her shirt. I failed to catch her and she tumbled over the edge to her death.

I did not know what to do, I couldn't face telling mum and dad that I had killed her. I made something up. I told my mum and dad, when I got back to the cafe they were at that she had run away and I had not seen where she went.

They had police looking for her for months but they could not find her. I wonder why!? I was so scared that someone would find out that I had killed her, but luckily no - one did.

I grew up in fear of somebody finding out, I found out for myself during those years that living without my sister was hard. But I still told no - one. I keep getting nightmares and would often wake up boiling hot and covered in sticky sweat. But gradually, the amount of times I got these nightmares lessened and now I hardly get them at all. No more often than once a month.

I know I will tell everyone sooner or later and I know that in some of their cases like Tee it will be sooner but I just want to settle in here first before I wrecked it all by telling them all my past.

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong. The bell went and Tracy hurried to answer it. Everybody else crowded around behind her, knowing it would be Toby, home from his part time foster parents. Sure enough, it was. The door opened and a boy walked in, carrying a bag which I presumed to hold his clothes. He had short blonde hair and looked around twelve. He looked like he was either Scottish or Irish I decided. I was very good at placing people in their nationalities and this boy was no exception. As soon as he spoke I could tell I was correct. He was obviously Scottish.

"Hello everyone, did you miss me?" He asked.

"Yes!" Everybody chorused.

"Toby, this is Mina," Tracy said, pointing at me, I smiled. "She doesn't talk," I shook my head and held out my hand. He shook it and said,

"Hello Mina, nice to meet you!" He seemed really nice and I smiled at him again.

I really think I am starting to get a crush on Johnny which is completely crazy since I know he would never, ever fancy a girl like me in a million years. Especially if he knew my past. I suddenly knew that I needed to talk if I ever wanted a boyfriend, so I walked out of my room and down the stairs. Just before I walked into the living room, I summoned up as much courage as I could muster, and walked bravely into the room. I spotted Tee and stepped up to her.

"Hi Tee," I said, yes that's right, I said! I think my voice was a bit rusty as I had not used it for over two months. The room fell silent as soon as the words were out of my mouth and Mike, who happened to be in the room at the time actually gasped out loud. He had read my file.

"Oh look, she does talk. See I told you she was just doing it for attention!"

I do not know why but that relatively short , simple sentence just set me off. If only she really knew why I was in care. I dived at Elektra who looked shocked, and to my surprise she fell over with me on top. The element of surprise really is very handy. I punched whatever bit of the blue clad girl as I could. Harder and harder. Then she kicked me and I nearly fell off her, but I was too angry to do that. My stomach killing, I landed another punch on her face before Mike started shouting for Tracy and pulled us both apart.

A/N: sorry it is so short, I had written it up much longer and then my laptop decided it needed to update itself and I ( Being me ) had forgotten to save it so I just wrote this up quickly.

Please review, you have no idea how much It means to me.
