Breen-

*THE SECRET*

Breen woke up early today. It's Saturday and Breen and her family are going to the Zoo. She's been waiting for about two months. She gathered all of her stuff and went to wake up her brother. But it seems like he had already woken up. Breen couldn't find anyone at home.. there was no one in the house. Then her mum came home and told Breen that her grandma was sick and they sent her to hospital. Breen asked if she could go visit her but her mum said: ''Your grandma is a little bit tired and we may go next week.'' as she kissed Breen's forehead with tears.

In the afternoon, Dad came back from work holding two big envelopes in his hands and some tears on his face. Breen rushed to her Dad. She never seen him so sad. ''What's wrong Dad?! Why are you crying?'' Breen said. Mum also started to cry....

''Mom! Dad! What's wrong?'' Her mum said nothing and just hugged her with tears all over her face. Breen didn't understand any of this. She was confused and felt like the only one who didn't know what was going on. No one told her anything.

A few weeks later Breen went to visit her grandma together with her family. When they arrived there, they didn't find her in bed but they found her pillow full of hair... There was hair all over the bed and on the floor. Her grandma was in the bathroom vomiting.

Things in Breen's house really changed... she may not understand how.. but she was sure that is was not in a very good way... Every night, before she goes to sleep, she prays..... As days passed, things got weird.. Breen's grandma was taking regular pills and was wearing this ugly hat. And one day her parents were packing grandma's stuff.

''Mum, where is Grandma going?''

''She's going away for a few days, honey...''

''but, she's coming back soon isn't she?!''

''Let's hope so..'' as a tear rolled down her mum's cheeks

That night when Breen's Grandma was leaving she hugged her so tight.. ''take care of yourself, you're a big girl!''grandma told Breen... ''but granny, why are you crying.... I'll see you again in a few days'' Breen said confused. She kissed Breen goodbye...as tears covered her face.. Her mum and Dad went away with Breen's grandma and Breen stayed with her Aunt and Uncle.

Few days later, her mum and dad came back.... alone.....
''Listen Breen, Granny's gone for a trip''

'' yea I know.. when is she coming back, i'm already missing her'' Her mum started to cry again. 

''this time granny's trip is taking her a long time.. and she's not coming back'' Breen's dad said with tears. 

''NO dad! NO! Granny loves me! She would never go! No no no!'' tears started flooding out of my eyes.....
