Every child deserves a loving home. Someone who will take care of them. My parents on the other had are deadbeats my mother is around and is about as helpful as a cardboard box, my father is non existent and my elder sister is probably fucking some guy just so she can live at his house.
I've been staying at Luke's for the past few days and I've been looked after by him and both his parents. They have willingly gone out to buy me new clothes because I had been wearing Luke's clothes, they didn't fit very well but I am only starting to have the strength to walk for a few minutes, so it's not like I'm going anywhere important.
Yesterday I received a text from Matty, the news broke my heart but took a weight off my shoulders.
I informed social services, the kids have been taken to a foster family who are taking amazing care of them. Get well soon, sending lots of love-Matty
I could tell she was sorry for the way she acted. She is a decent human being and I forgive her, she is my best friend how can I stay mad at her. I don't really care if she wants to be with Luke if they want to be together they have my blessing, but I have a feeling things are more complicated then that.
Their was a knock at the door. I heard a lady's voice who I could faintly hear was saying my name and conferring with Luke's mum about the situation.
Dani (Luke's mum) came up the stairs and slowly walked into the room. She came over to the bed and sat on the edge. "Skye the lady down stairs Is your social worker, she needs to ask you a few questions. Shall we get you down stairs so you can talk to her" as she spoke she used a soft voice, the one you use on a sick child. She gently smiled as she helped me down the stairs, into the living room, then onto the sofa.
I was now sat in front of a kind looking lady, who has a glare of sympathy fixed on her eyes.
"Now Skye I've read your case files and I've been filled in on the current situation of what's happened. Mrs. Connell is happy for you to stay here for as long as you wish, we would of course give her extra money for your care, however as you are only 15 you cannot move out of here until you are 16 and have a place of your own to stay in."
"I want to know about Summer and Blake. Don't split them up they need each other, are they being well looked after. Are they still attending school every day. They are both allergic to peppers and mushrooms, make sure they don't eat any of them also they should go to bed at 7:30 every night, they say they aren't tired but they fall asleep fast enough. Also what is going to happen to Daphine."
I couldn't speak fast enough she has to remember everything. I have looked after those kids longer then anyone else.
The social worker looked physically upset. "Sweetie, you shouldn't have to be raising your siblings. We know their allergies and the foster parents are taking amazing care of them"
I was relieved as she told me this but I knew their was more to come she had to answer my question about Daphine.
"Your mother is being charged with neglect. She is also going to be given help to get sober."
This wasn't the first time she has been given help. She has done it then a few days later started drinking again. It's always the same, never reliable.
I drowned out the conversation between Dani and the social worker,it was all the boring stuff that I didn't really care about.
The social worker was about to leave when she turned around and said, "I will make sure your parents never hurt you again, you deserve to be a child. Enjoy what you can will you are young enough to get away with it." She then left.

I had been sitting on the sofa downstairs with Dani for a while watching tv, she randomly muted the tv and faced towards me, I done the same.
She was trying to say something but she was obviously finding it hard to choose the right words.
"I never thought I would meet Luke's girlfriend, you seem to have stopped him from being such a slop" she laughed at her own comment.
I thought she knew we weren't a couple, just friends. I didn't want to ruin what she thought but I had to set her straight.
"Oh no, we're not a couple, just friends. If I'm being honest we didn't even speak before I fell."
Dani looked confused, she shrugged her shoulders and decided to state her opinion.
"You two will be living together for quite a while. Something will happen sooner or later. Plus I see the way he looks at you, I've never seen him look at a girl like that before."
She unmuted the tv and we went back to watching the programme, although I wasn't watching it more as staring at it while in a deep thought about what she said, yeah I mean we will be living together but because share flats together and nothing happens. Plus Matty has already been with him, but do I want to be with him, I don't know.
Mid way through my trail of thought the front door was opened by Luke, I looked over to see him with a girl hanging all over him, she was ten times prettier then me. Dani looked shocked at what he had just done, but she politely asked him what he was going to do, he replied with a simple go to my room.
"Wait you mean you room where you've had intercourse with numerous girls, and you are about to have intercourse with another one so you can just add the number to your pile then never talk to her again" Before I could stop myself i had blurted it out.
Luke was shocked and lost for words. The slutty girl then opened the door and left. Dani gave sent a harsh look to Luke before dragging him into the kitchen. I heard the door close behind them.
I guess they when for privacy but I can hear every word.
"Luke, how dare you bring a random girl into our house and expect me to be okay with it and expect the girl who you brought to our house who is now going to LIVE here to be Okay with it."
"WAIT, LIVE HERE"
Wow talk about feeling unwanted. I didn't think of how this would effect him.
" You heard me right she is going to live here. Their is no changing that, stop being so rude about it."
I then heard the kitchen door open and the loud footsteps toward the living room, Luke then marched in, turned the tv off and started shouting at me.
"GO TO YOUR OWN FAMILY. LIVE IN YOUR OWN HOUSE, I WISH I HAD NEVER MET YOU. YOU HAVE STOLEN MY BED, MY CLOTHES, MY FAMILY, AND NOW I CANT EVEN BRING A GIRL HERE BECAUSE OF YOU!!"
I couldn't believe how mean he was, I burst into tears. Only my drunken mother had ever talked to me like that, I don't want to be here I want to go. By this time I was just sobbing, I was full on crying, my face is bright red and I can't stop crying. I want a family so bad, but I never ment to steal his.
I grabbed my phone. I ran towards the door and left. I just ran and ran and ran. I could barely stand up, I was in so much pain, I was crying harder and harder. I finally saw a park, I ran through the pain and then fell onto the grass. I hit my body hard. I stoped making noise, just tears where falling down my face. I rolled up into a ball, ignoring the world, trying to deal with the pain I had put on myself.
At that moment I realised I was alone in this world. It was just me now, and not one person would really care if I just vanished off the face of the earth.
