Jo: "When they wanted to arrive?"

Ma: "Mrs. Miller said she wants to visit us tomorrow, but after that, she wanted to order the police...they should also come tomorrow..."

Jo: "What should we do now?"

Ma:"There's a hotel probably 10 minutes away, we could rent a room...just for a week..."

Jo: "Okay..."

I look desperately out the window, all of a sudden I notice a few people. They run from trailer to trailer and look at the respective name tags. They are approx. 50 meters away from here. On closer inspection, I notice that these are two policemen with a woman. It's our headmistress! She has already called the police...

Jo: "Marshall look! They are already here, we have to hurry up!"

Ma: "Shit! Lily...!? Baby Com'on put your shoes on! Take your coat!"

He runs to Lily and quickly puts a few things from her in a bag.

Then he turns to me again.

Ma:"There are two big bags under my bed, take them, one for you and one for me, okay? I'll help Lily and do some other stuff! I don't know how much time we've got left till the arrive..."

He is completely off the slopes and you can see the fear in the face. He doesn't want them to take Lily away from him, of course I don't want that either, I don't want to go back to my family either. To my father who always lets out his bad mood on me, and to my alcoholic mother. Can't you understand that? Anyway, Lily doesn't have one anymore, do you want to put her in the home, what? You can't expect a 3-year-old child to do something like that...

So I quickly run into Marshall's room and grab the two bags. Actually, I also have another one, so I leave all my things in my pocket. I frantically stuff Marshall a few things in his pocket. I'm looking for the coffee can, I can't find it. The coffee can with the money. If we don't have them...then we would be pretty lost... after all, I find myself under my pillow, I've completely forgotten that, no matter, I hurry up and put the two packed bags on the sofa. Then I grab the last one and pack various foods into it, noodles, bread, drinks, etc...

Jo: "I'm done, what about you?"

Ma:"Yeah, almost, do you have everything?"

Jo:"Yes, how should we escape, they'd see us if we would go through the door..."

Ma: "The window?"

Jo: "Okay, I'll go at first, then you can throw the bags, you give me Lily and you at last, okay?"

Ma:"Okay, com'on Lily, we have to go, I'll explain it to you later..."

Li:"But, Marshall..."

Ma: "Lily, it's important, I need you!"

She nods and I climb out of the window in the kitchen. I'm stuck to the window with my jacket first, but I can get rid of quickly. If that's not enough, I'll bend damn shit, it cracks, damn I have to bite my fingers so I don't scream... Tears are finally running down my cheeks...

Ma: "Josie, are you okay?!"

Jo: "No, no..."

I can only concentrate on the pain and forget to speak English. I squat on the floor and hold my one hand to the ankle, on the other I still bite rum...never before have I felt such a strong pain.

I try to get up, but it doesn't work, so I pull up the trailer howling and try to concentrate on the essentials. I look at my one hand, it has a damn red imprint of my dentition. At one point, some blood is already quilting out.

Jo: "Ok- Ok, com'on..."

Ma: "you sure?"

I pinch my eyes and press my lips together. Finally, I nod and Marshall throws down the 4 pockets and carefully hand me Lily. I can hardly hold them because of my foot, but I know that I can't let them fall. I take them and sit down on the floor. At the end he jumps out of the window. I just honk in front of me.

Ma: "Ah shit, com'on, you can have my shoulder to lean on."

Jo: "Thank you..."

I grab two bags and Marshall too, then I try to lean on him as much as possible and we leave the trailer park with Lily.

So to mention this at the beginning, the same thing happened to my foot, about half a year ago, was just in physical education with football and so on, I swear it, I've NEVER had worse pain before...I even feel something and still have a bandage... I then had a ligament tear...a bad one, it can last so 6-9 months...joa...was so nice with school medical service and ambulance...but well good...
