Dear Diary, my name is Billie I am 14 years old. I have a little brother who is 7 and he's name is Jacob. I live with my mum as my dad is married to another person. One day I woke up not in the best mood but not in the worst mood. I had to get my brother ready for school as mum had to go to work early in the morning. I put on my over fancy school uniform and started making breakfast.
I realized I had left my school bag in my mum's room. I peer through the window in the door. I fall to the ground, tear tumble and turn down my face like an out of control waterfall. Jacob runs over to me he screams, "Mum! Billie what's wrong with mum?" I try reaching my arm around him but it's too late he runs up to mum's body which lay peacefully on her bed. I run over to her, I wrap my shaking hand on hers. She's not breathing! She's dead. I feel like my heart has just been ripped out and shattered into millions of peaces.Jacob calls the ambulance. He can barely get the words out. I hold him tight.
20 minutes later, the over powering noise of sirens get closer and closer. I shake with sadness. It's here. The bell rings. I stumble down the stairs heartbroken. I open the door. The police where here to. They burst through the half open door. They put my mum in a bag and took her to the funeral place.
I ring dad it just goes straight to the answer phone. He finally answers. I cry and scream down the phone. Dad knows something has happened. I say sadly "mum is gone she's dead." Dad's voice breaks I hear him cry. "I'll be straight over" He cries down the phone.
10 minutes later dad turns up. Tears run down he's devastated face. He grabs me and Jacob close. He whispers in our ear," don't worry I'll be here, I'm always here. We have the day off school. I go to bed. I say I can't handle this. Why does everything bad happen to me? Why my family? What have we ever done? I lay broken on mum's bed. I but one of her tops on. I just want to feel close to her. I shut my eyes.
I feel a tap on my shoulder. I look up shyly; I see a bright light in front of me. It whispers "don't worry Billie, everything will be okay." I ask what's for the name. "My name is Midnight I am a genie. I'm here to grant you a wish. Any wish just not for more wishes." I reply, "Please, please, please bring my mum back to life. "Yes of course i can, if you are sure." I turn and stir. I wake up. Midnight is gone. I believe it was just a dream. Tears run down my face. I run to mums room she lays there asleep. I hug her. Thank you midnight. I found a pearl on the bedside desk it had a message from Midnight. "You never know how much you need someone until their gone."
Lots of love
Billie
