There are 3 things that keep me going when it all gets too much.

1.Poppy 

If I was gone, Mum wouldn't be able to cope. Poppy would be alone in the world and I could never let that happen. Poppy is 6 years old. She has me and my mums wispy blonde hair and my dads hazel eyes. My dad left us when Poppy was born.

2. My (only) Friends 

Sam and Bessie are my two only friends. I have the odd friendly accquaintance but Sam and Bessie were the only ones that actually care about me. Sam Harling has been my best friend since I was in nursery and I've seen him at his worst (Gappy teeth and chunky glasses in year 2) but now he is growing up and starting to attract female attention. I guess I can see where they were coming from. Sam is tall and mixed race, with big brown eyes and flawless skin. In recent years he has really changed. He is not the scrawny, footy-mad boy I grew up with. Now he's the cool, mysterious runner with the amazing body and weirdo friends i.e me and Bessie. But Sam manages to resist the flirting. He's reliable and I like that. Everyone has always assumed me and Sam will get together but we always deny everything. Anyway, we know each other too well, it would be like dating my brother. Besides, I think Sam might be...gay? He never takes an interest in any girls, even the pretty ones. It's odd.

Bessie is cute and quirky with mad red-brown hair that curls wildly arouns her hair like a halo. She wears oversized glasses that hide glittering bright green eyes that crease up when she laughs. She's one of the smartest people I know, and I bet she'll go to uni and go on to do great stuff. She's also one of the funniest. We met after the Emily incident. I was crying in the toilets and she heard me. She helped me compose myself and we got talking. It didn't take long for us to bond. Ever since then we've been close and she even helped me get over my fears of rollercoasters when we went to Thorpe Park one summer.

3. 5SOS (5 Seconds Of Summer) 

When the outside world all gets a bit too much, I do what a lot of kids my age do and retreat to the internet. I love Youtube. I was browsing through it when I came across an Australian band called 5 Seconds Of Summer...They were adorable, talented, and REALLY gorgeous; they were incredible musicians. I fell in love. The hours me and Bessie spent fangirling over them...They are all perfect but I have a soft spot for Ashton, the drummer. His cute smile lights up my entire world.

They save me.
