"Uh, how exactly are we going to be allowed to go on holiday?" asks one of my best friends, Meg. She's the sensible one in our group of friends. Always questioning the obvious, like "but we can't get on a plane without an adult" or "the probability of us meeting one direction in person are about one to 3 billion and for them to actually go out with us is even lower." The sort of questions that no one cares about but are actually really important. However, she is the most caring friend that anyone could ever imagine and always looks out for you. Her family life is hard. Her mum and dad hate each other, but both have one obsession, her younger sister. They never spend any time with Meg and to be honest, treat her cruellly and as if she is a piece of dirt. If she ran away, I don't think they would even notice she was gone!
"By running away of course, and travelling far and wide until we find a place of our own and then we will make land and shelter under a tree and decide to build a big castle made of gold and silver and, and... lots of other cool stuff", replies sunny, enthusiastically. Sunny, is well, sunny. She is the bubble and humour of our group. Her mind is ful of amazing magical things that burst into a pool of unimaginable amazement and wonder. Sometimes she is a bit too mad but she's so fun to be around and she loves everyone. Not a single bad word about anybody has come out of her mouth ever. And it is hard to think of something horrible about her. She could get people agitated quite easily but she could also put a smile on anybody's face is she put her mind to it. Sunny's parents are really awkward. They call Sunny an "accident" and I think everyone except for Sunny knows what that means. They are too loved up in each other to have time for Sunny.
"Uh yh. something like that. it will be great" replied Boo, anxiously worrying about Sunny's health! Boo's is great. The sort of friend you like because she can be serious and help you, but she is also a load of fun. Sometimes she can drag you into things, but rarely. She is great and an exciting friend. Her mother and father are not here anymore. They died in a car crash when Boo was only six. She lives in a manky care home with manky kids. no one likes it there and they aren't allowed any visitors. Her one foster family was a disaster. They treated Boo as if she was six and that was frustrating and brought back bad memory's for Boo.
"I'll be there like in your flubber of a face dad. BOOM" shouted Fiz. Fiz is a great person to be around. A litttle bit full of herself but never the less, happy, loud, loud, and did I mention, quiet. Yep. Fiz is a bit of everything, quite like the drink. A bit of bubble' but the flavour can be different in each bottle of a day that you try. Her dad is mean and selfish. he only cares about himself and his number of dodgy girlfriends. He has threatened to lock fiz in her room for a week, and he has for a day, without any food or water.
"Lets just go, no matter what" I reply. My name's Bubble and I'm a bit of all of my friends. I am the smallest of our group. The one who can think of ideas and helps other people but need to not be as shy to other people. I suppose my family situation might be one of the worst. My parents left me in a car park when I was 8 months old, and ran away together. Noone knows who they are, what they look like, how old they are, why they left, nothing. And I am stuck on my own, with a little flat. No one knows I am alone. They think my mother is ill and does not want anyone to help her. I have to cook my own food, walk to school, and buy my clothes (that is one of the advantages of living on your own), basically everything. It's hard, but I can cope, but I want to live with my friends in a place no one can find us. That's why we are running away!
