Abigail's secret story

Abigail's secret story: Chapter 1

Hi I am Abigail, or as all my best friends in school call me, Aby. My second name is Keane. I am aged 14 at the moment and I will be 15 in 2 month's. I love everything about my school, friends and family, but  I have a story to tell, so here it goes.

Sadly, I lost my mum when I was three year's of age. I don't know what ever happened to her. Where do I start, I can't pyhsically picture her fully in my mind but I know that she is still with me in my heart and soul. My dad left and ran away after my mum died, and I never saw him again. I always used to get along with my dad and even though I only knew him for three years, I stil wonder if he is out there some where and does he ever think of me. I alway's feel sad when I think of him because there are thought's running through my mind, thought's like "I wonder did he leave because he thought he wouldn't be able to handle me on his own." I always wonder will I ever see him again. I am alway's looking at the picture's of my mum and dads wedding day, when I was born and the three of us together. It make's me want to cry, but I have never do. I don't cry very often, in fact I don't remember one time that I have cried. Even when my mum passed away I never cried I just stared for the whole day and did not speak. My grandparents were worried about me and they thought I had come down with something. I knew that I wasn't poorly though, I was hurt. 

You all are probrably wondering where did I end up, or where do I live. Well the answer to your question is with my Gran and Grandpa. They are my mums parents. We live in England, on the north side of London. My Gran is called Rose and my Grandpa is named Joe. I love my grandparents so much and they have raised me well. They own a very small cottage and it is near a very small village, where we go on walks and get our shopping. It is a vey quiet village. We have four neighbours who are all very polite and kind. My best friend is called Daniel and he lives on the left side of us. He goes to the same school as me and is in the same year. He is very kind and quiet  and he is a friend I will keep forever. He has helped me through a lot.

There is a small forest near our house where me and Daniel explore and find new things. We have recently built a tree house,with the help of my Grandpa and Daniels dad. It is a great place to hang out and just say what you want to say.

 One recent morning I woke up and went downstairs for breakfast and nobody was up yet. It was around 6:00am anyway so I wasn't expecting anyone to be up. Anyway I love toast and chocolate spread in the mornings. So I went ahead and made myself some. At seven I sat down and watched some television . My grandfather soon got up. We spend some time together playing chess.He is a legend at chess I swear he always beats me. Later on in the day I went out with my grandma to a small shop in our village.Later on in the evening after dinner I needed to talk to my grandma.So I made my way down our staircase and I was halfway down the the stairs, when I overheard my grandparent's talking about my father! I was so shocked and angry at the same time. Why would they be talking about my father behind my back? I listened carefully to se what they were saying about him. Then suddenly my  Grandma said loud and clear, "Joe listen, while me and Abigail were out in the village today to shop I saw her father he was shopping in the same shop as us and he saw me. He didn't even say hi to his own daughter now how bad is that!" My eyes widened and I gasped. My grandparents turned around and saw me. They looked at me. I then made my way to my grandpa. He's never  cross with me and he gave me a hug and said " Now now, you weren't eavesdropping young lady now, were you? I looked at him then at my grandma and said "no I didn't, I didn't hear a thing.My palms were sweating and I didn't wan't them to know what I heard. Then I asked could I knock for my friend Daniel. They said I could. So off I went and my legs carried me down to his house as fast as they could. He answered the door...thank god!  We then made our way to the forest and I told him about how I overheard my grandparents talking. He listened carefully as I told him and he was shocked he said "Why didn't you say you heard them talking so you could find out more?" I told him that it wasn't as easy as that because what if they got angry with me for Listening to their conversation. He told me not to worry about that and he said "it wasn't your fault you were going down the stairs when you overheard them, now was it?" I agreed with him and we carried on talking. After that we started to talk about other various things. He suddenly got a bit agitated and said that last week in school a girl called Mary-Anne was picking on him. He said that it wasn't the type of bullying you could just tell the teacher about.It was little smart comments when he was talking about something in front of his mates. Now this girl is popular and she never seemed to like me or Daniel, no reason why really we never did her any harm at all! We are innocent kids and she is quite the opposite. So anyway he went into some examples of how this annoyed him.I was not impressed. How dare she! It's not like he ever did anything to her. An hour passed and Daniel looked at his watch and gasped " Oh I better get going", he said. "Ok" I replied, and we both headed home. 

On the way home I felt like someone was watching me. I didn't see anyone. I just had the feeling. I thought it was just me and carried on walking and I hurried home. As I stepped in the house, I firmly closed the door shut and locked it because I felt uncomfortable. But, it was a very strange feeling that I had never felt ever before.I told my grandparents that I knew someone was following me,very discreetly but they were still there. My Grandma's reply was that she just expected that I had imagined it all, but I hadn't.I knew I hadn't! But my Grandpa.... arah he always listens to me and takes an interest in what I have experienced and he also believes me. It makes me feel that I can talk to him about anything anywhere, anytime.

 About 4 weeks past and our school summer holidays were soon coming up. I was so excited and had a lot of things planned for doing. Me and Daniel were making lots of plans.Well all I can say some-thing happened and it wasn't expected.....
