Erin's PoV
The door was opened by a practically bald man I stayed behind Mel with my two bags and teddy. "Hello Mel, and you must be Erin-Maye" he smiles "hi mike, thank you for finding space on such short notice" Mel smiles to the man who she had called Mike
"We have a spare room which Erin-maye will be in" Mike tells Mel as we walk into the house. Mike lead us into the office their were loads of kids running about and I heard shouting, it reminded me of Ross shouting at mum, or when he shouted at me
Mike tells me and Mel to sit down and I do, "I'll get may-li to show you to your room when she's put the dinner in" Mike tells me and I nod. Mel gives me her phone number "thank you" I mumble waiting for mike to come back with whoever May-li is.
"Erin-Maye this is May-Li she will be showing you to your room and around the house" Mike tells me "can you just call me Erin" I ask before I go to the door and they both nod.
I pick my bags back up and follow May-Li up to which will be my room for the next few years maybe. The room was not like home, it had a single bed in the middle and a small wardrobe to the left off the bed, their wasn't much but I guess I'm safe here.
I look around and put my bags on my bed while May-Li puts my suitcase by the wardrobe, "would you like to unpack or go and meet everyone" she asks me and I shrug, I'm not good at meeting new people.
"Let's go and meet the others and then you can unpack" May-Li suggests to me and I nod slowly before walking over to the door, I was still holding my teddy but I didn't care, yeah I am 13 almost 14, I just didn't care about that, my teddy is the thing
that makes me feel safe.
I follow May-Li back down stairs and to the living Room. In the living toom their were 6 people, May-li told me theirs 10 kids here but if you include me their was 11. May-li called the rest off the kids down and i stood next to her nurvesly
"Right everyone this is Erin-Maye Roundhead and she's going to be staying with us for a while" May-li introduced me and I look at the kids nurvesly "what sort of name is Roundhead" laughed a boy "Bailey" May-li warned and be roles his eyes.. Evreyone
goes around and tell me their names and I nod before going back to my room and unpacking.
I hang my clothes up and put my school bag in the corner by the wardrobe. I wanted the bed by the window but I wasn't sure if I was aloud to move it.
I decided I was going to push it against the window so then I was able to finish sorting it out, I put my teddys on the bed by the window and then I sat down. I looked outside and saw Mel driving off and then I heard someone walking up the stairs and
their was a knock at the door
"Hello Erin, it's Mike can I come in?" I hear Mike says so I call back with a yes. "Mel told me that tomorrow the police will be coming round to talk to you about what happened to your mum" Mike tells me and I nod. "Are you coming down for some dinner?"
Mike then asks me and I shake my head so he leaves me alone.

Erin-Maye reminded me of a woman I used to be with, Annalisa. Annalisa was pregnant and said I want aloud to have anything to do with my own daughter.
What if she was my daughter I could have saved her from the trauma off seeing her mums lifeless body. She looked so scared and I just wish their was something I could do.
After checking on her I went to the office to check her file and see if it said anything about her dad, but to my luck it didn't.

Tonight was going to be my first night in the care home, I already missed my mum and nothing felt the same.
I curled up in a ball on the bed and instantly fell asleep
