Savannah Grace's POV:

Isolation;

The process or fact of isolating or being isolated.

I wake up to a cloudy smoke surrounding my room. I start to choke on the thick smoke filling my lungs. I run to the door where I see my only source of light. It opens to heat burning me with orange flames edging closer; I start to panic and run towards the glass window. "HELP" I start to scream while looking around my room to see that the fire is roaring towards me. I shatter the weak window and climb out. I stand back and watch the fire burn down my house when I hear a giggle. I turn to see my mum and dad smoking a joint laughing at our house. A single tear runs down my cheek as I watch them get high whilst my childhood burns away.  I wonder if they ever did care. I lock eyes with my father as he snickers.

"Why didn't you save me?" I tried to yell but failing as my voice croaked from the smoke still in my lungs.

"Why? Because we don't want you, you're pathetic. We never wanted you, you're a mistake" My dad screeched anger laced in his voice.

Tears were now rolling down my cheeks nonstop. I couldn't believe they were telling me this, I wanted to run but I couldn't I felt weak. They started to walk towards me, I was thrown over my dad's shoulder and put into the car. They drove away with me in the back feeling like a hostage. I feel my eyes droop as I fell into a slumber.

I wake up to familiar smell of flowers filling the air. I jump up to see a disgrace, the yellow walls were dirt brown, the carpet was crusty and the mirror of the cupboard was shattered. This wasn't how I remembered my nans house. I wander through the house with a disgusted expression etched on my face. I find a ripped piece of paper sitting on the table, I soon recognised it as my mother's hand writing, Bye x it read. Initially I was confused as to what it meant but soon came to my senses, my parents have finally left me. I'm only 12 I can't look after myself. How am I meant to survive? Why am I in my nans house?
