A Chance To Change

Chapter 3

So now you know the story of why I came, let me tell you what happened, and I'll tell you now, it didn't exactly go to plan...

I felt the nerves swell up inside of me, "This is the moment where it all begins." I confirmed to myself. I knocked on the door and waited, suddenly remembering the first time I ever stood here, I remember it so clearly; the giant adults towering over me, taking me into a weird home that was not my own, with huge fake smiles stretched from cheek to cheek, and their giant white teeth glistening in the light.

Suddenly, it came back to reality and the door slowly opened and I saw a familiar face. I felt the urge to hug her like mad, and I had to force myself to keep my tears in. At the door, it was the kindest care worker I ever knew, and also the prettiest, Kelly.

When I was 24, as a part of the whole life change thing, I made a list to improve my life and make it better, and as part of that, I went to a foster home in Birmingham where Kelly moved to when I was 15, to say thank you to her. A man, probably about my age at the time, answered the door and I asked him where Kelly was. His beautiful pure green eyes looked at me, then looked at the floor, not saying a word.

"Come this way." he finally answered, well kind of answered; all i need to know if where she was. I got even more confused when he sat me down in a modern looking blue and white 'meeting and greeting' room. He looked to the floor again as a tear burst out of his eyes,"she died" he suddenly said, with a stutter. I was shocked, there where a million questions whizzing around my head, making me feel dizzy and everything went cloudy when a tear filled my blue eyes, I wiped it off, still confused. He saw my face and mumbled "cancer, it was cancer."

Of course it was, that was the beast that killed my mum, and partly my dad too, because he only died because he couldn't cope, without mum, caring for me and being under so much pressure. So he commit suicide. That's how I got into care. That's how my life started off.

I stared into Kelly's chocolate brown eyes, trying to keep my tears in again, but I couldn't stop thinking of the tick that I couldn't never write on my list that would change my life. She got distracted from my unusually sad behaviour by a young boy, Zach, I remember him- the annoying little one who stole my diary I have in my bag right now, and ripped the first few pages. Anyway, Zach asked when they where having lunch, typical Zach, and Kerry answered "soon" in her soft, calming voice.

She turned back to me "Sorry about that, you must be here for the open day?" I took a deep breath, trying to look normal, and replied "Yes, I am."

Hope you like my third chapter!
