It all started when I got in from school I heard shouting coming from upstairs, as usual it was my mum and dad arguing again this had been happening for months now I just wished they’d stop. At supper time we were all sat at the table eating when my dad said that they had to talk to me about something important, I could tell mum had been crying my tummy dropped everything fell silent my dad said “were getting a divorce.” I ran to my room I couldn’t believe what I had just heard I new that they argue but I didn’t relies that it was that bad.
Anyway as weeks passed my mum couldn’t handle looking after the pub on her own so she decided to sell up and move down south. I ran over to Sams to tell her the news ………the bad news. I told her she started to cry I didn’t no what I would do without her she was my best mate and I didn’t want that to change. She said that it takes months to sell houses she was wrong very wrong.
About two weeks later we had viewers come to look at the pub they seemed pretty rich I just prayed they wouldn’t put an offer in. well now I no there’s no god out there the house got sold and the next thing you no im saying goodbye. The hardest part was leaving Sam we both cried but there was no turning back I got into the car and waved my good life goodbye.
It took eight and a half hours to get to bude it was a hell of a long journey. When I got there it was about ten o’clock we only had enough time to unpack the car. When I walked in the door I looked around it was so small, my room was like a cardboard box it was horrible.
The next day was a big day for me meeting my new peers they all wore blue jumpers and any black trousers much better than my old uniform
When I walked in to my form room everyone stared at me as if I was an alien I remembered this blonde girl came up to me and said hi she was called Sammy she introduced me to the rest of her friends they were all huddled in to the corner of the class the first people I met were called Amy burrow and Sophie Warner they were alright Sammy became my new best mate well kind off I didn’t want to just forget Sam anyway she was in every lesson with me maybe this wasn’t going to be so bad after all.
After a few weeks passed things were going well Sam was coming down to visit I couldn’t wait. As I got through the door of the house my mum was sitting with a man it was very rare that she brought men home she introduced me to him he was called Dave my mum had told me about him before how he took her out places to fancy restaurants. He seemed pretty nice. Mum and Dave kept seeing each other nearly every night. It was a Monday night I heard the door smash open it was my mum she was out of her head ive never seen her like this I ran down and said hi then to my surprise she punched me her own daughter my face was throbbing the pain was getting more and more intense I didn’t no what had come upon her as she kept on hitting me I didn’t no what to do I felt helpless. The next morning I wouldn’t speak to her I ate my breakfast and went to school. That day when I got home mum wasn’t there I remember seeing a note on the table it said
Dear Katrina
Im so sorry I have to
Leave you this way but Dave
Gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse
Anyway have a nice life
Lots of love mam xxx
