"Poppy, we better go back" Rachel moaned.

"Ok well I've only got the rest of the week left atleast." I replied

The rest of the school day was awkward but short. We were a little bit late to social not that the teacher was too bothered.

I went home to be bombarded by questions from my uncle.

"How did it go? Did you tell anyone? Did they make any rude remarks?" He went on and on but I didn't reply to any of them.

"Have you changed your mind about me staying with Liam?" I answered for him "No? Well im not answering anything till you change you mind."

"Oh, Poppy you know he's only got your best interests at heart! Maybe when he turns 20. That's only in a month then he'll be finished his music year and be at home all summer till Christmas. But Poppy that's not a promise." She said the last part very sternly. I ignored the part about it being a maybe and grabbed her in to a hug.

"Thank you, thank you!" I cheered. I danced all the way up to my room to text Liam about being possibly able to stay with him and his friends.

Hey Payne

Talking to our aunt and she said that I might be able to come and stay with you next month after you turn twenty. Hope that it's still ok with you, you know having a pregnant girl staying with you? Hope it wouldn't cramp your style or something hahaha!

Hope to see you when your back from tour

Love you

Poppy xx

He replied back almost instantly.

Hey Pops

That's great! Of course I still want to have you stay with us, everyone wants to meet you. Remember to be careful!

Love you too

Liam x x

I was buzzing with excitement when my aunt called me down for tea.

"Why the big smile Poppy? Oh you haven't have you? Oh you have you, you shouldn't have said anything to him it'll only make it worse if we change our minds about you going."

"Wait so at the moment I'm able to stay with them?!"

"On one condition though" my uncle butted in whilst pouring him self a drink, not making eye contact. "only if you behave and help around the house, which I know your doing anyway but you mustn't lack about it and also keep your room tidy!" He lips crawled in to a small smile.

I helped with the tea dishes and went up to my room to watch the Simpsons. I was starting to dread tomorrow and the rest of week, I went to bed early at 8 o'clock some how I was so tired. I woke the next morning a 7, I was feeling sick and disy. I ran as fast as I could to the bathroom and throwing up every last morsel. My aunty came into the bathroom looking pitiful.

"Oh morning sickness" She sympathized "I hated that"

"Yeah it sucks." I groaned grabbing my toothbrush and toothpaste

I got fully ready apart from having breakfast. I made my way down to the living room and sat down turning the telly on, news.

"Here eat this." She said handing me a piece of dry toast, eww!

I grabbed it and ate it down. I slung my bag on my back and headed to the kitchen to go out the back to the bus stop. I looked at my fence and there was now a gate made in the middle of it where I would climb it.

"I thought this would make it easier but if you moving I guess it will only be used for a little while." My uncle said appearing from the garden shed

"Thank you its a great idea" I replied smiling.

I left through the new gate and went to the bus stop. The week went really fast and before I knew it, it was last thing on Friday and I was saying my good byes. I had an interview on the weekend about my 'experience'. I was going to be shown on the morning news so I was a little nervous.

For tea we had a Chinese that I was dying for. We sat around the Tv watching the evening soaps I was starting to love. After the third episode we were watching I left to have a shower. I pleated down my hair after so I'd have wavy hair for the interview. I chose my outfit and shoes for the next day. the nerves we're getting the better of me. I went to bed early again as I had been up early every morning being sick.

Saturday morning rolled around quick and then before I knew it, it was my interveiw. The woman was nice enough and asked alot of questions. Some more personal than I would have liked. She asked about my family and homelife.

"If you had the chance Poppy would you change anything that had happened to you?" She looked at me like maybe it wasn't the best idea to ask me that.

I smiled at her to put her worry's aside "No, I don't think I would maybe a few things like how the man got away and that I was left for hours. But other than that no. If I did change it I wouldn't be able to help other people, because people don't listen to what you have to say half as much as they do if have experience in it. If you know what i mean I now have the chance to help other people and help prevent that man doing what he did to me to other girls." she looked at me in awe.

She didn't speak to me for a few minutes, I cleared my throat and she jumped back into action. "Ehm, thank you for coming on today Poppy, im sure you story will be an inspiration to others."

"Cut to adverts!" A man's voice yelled

"Thank you for coming in today Poppy, help yourself to any food you want or juice." She smiled and tuned away

I left without having food, I went to town with my aunt to buy Liam some birthday presents. It was his birthday in a week then hopefully i would be moving in with him after.

We walked im to the shopping centre and starting looking around. We went in a few shops to look before buying anything. In the end i bought him a pair of new shoes and jumper, i also got him an iTunes card. I was so excited to see him again, i had been a fair few months. I was also excited to meet the boys he talked about so much. I'm never going to admit it to him but I'm absolutly in love with his band.
