Lola's POV

I wake up in my own bedroom and smile. I haven't been able to do that in a year. Then I remembered it is my birthday!! I squeal and then run into Mummy and Daddy's room and jump onto the bed.
"IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!" I shout. They don't move. I jump on Alfie and start tickling him. "Wakey Wakey!" I shout and Alfie sits up. "Raa!" I screamed and Zoe wakes up smiling.
" Come on Lola let's go and get your presents!!!" Zoe says and scoops me up and we walk downstairs with Alfie following. In the living room the floor is covered in presents that are wrapped in tissue paper. I squeal and Zoe and Alfie sit on the sofa whilst I open my presents. I get, barbies, hair stuff, teddies, bean bags, a dolls house, a computer, books and lots and lots of clothes.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH! BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!" I shout and hug one of my new teddies.
" Your seven now Lola! A year since you were in Poland!!" Zoe said.
"Mummy, Daddy can we play hide and seek?" I ask. Lately it was my favourite game.
"Ok , 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,..." Zoe said and me and Alfie ran off to hide. I ran upstairs and hid under my bed. I hear Zoe come in my room and go out again. I look at all the boxes under my duvet and then I see it. The box with my old life in it. I switch hiding places to the back of my wardrobe and look through the box. It has my old dress in it, my rucksack and my a photo of me and my old mum. I cry then at the thought of her and then put the picture right at the bottom of the box and that is where I find my old video camera.

"Found you!" Zoe said opening the door and I stared at her holding the camera. She sees it too and she holds my hand and sits me on the sofa. Alfie then comes and sits next to me and he puts his arm around me so I lean against him. Zoe plugs the camera into the TV and it begins. She sits next to me and I translate everything into English because some how I still remember polish.
It starts with me in Poland. All dirty and in a dress.
"I have just got back from the hospital and I found my house like this." I say in Polish and then I say it in English. The camera points to my old house that was blown down. A tear slips out my eye and Zoe and Alfie hug me. It then switches to another time. "I am on the beach and I have found somewhere to sleep" it says in Polish and I translate again and the camera goes to the crate that brought me to England. More tears come and I silently cry. The next one is me in the crate.
"Someone has locked me in the crate and I was sick and I wet myself!" I translate and Zoe and Alfie have tears in there eyes. The next one is in England.
"I'm in England! I need a shower and all these people are speaking English. Luckily I know English!" I translate and stare at the old me on the television, thinking how much I have changed. The next one is me meeting Zoe.
"I have met this lady and she is taking me to her house!" I translate and our frowns turn upside down and the camera tilts onto Zoe and you can see the way I looked up at her.
"This is her house! It's so big." I translate and we're all smiling now.
"I just had a bubble bath and my first pizza and now we're watching frozen!" I translate smiling and thinking about how excited I was back then about those things.
"I would like to thank Zoe and Alfie for my new life in ENGLAND!" I shout at several pictures flash of me in England. My first day of school, my first pizza, birthdays and Christmases. We all smile and have a big deyes hug.
