I feel physical pain in my stomach and my eyesight starts to go blurry.
"W-what? Why? Did I do something wrong?" I say shaking, why would they do this to me?

"They didn't ring, it was a letter, they said that they felt they didn't have enough time to mind you and felt they wouldn't be good parents" she says, shaking her head. 

I feel a lump in my throat grow bigger and bigger and I just burst out crying. I was so close to being adopted, why did it have to be me??

Cristina walks out of the room, and I cry into my pillow.
I'll never have a family.

I wake up.

I stare up at the ceiling, with tears in my eyes. I smile.
It was all just a bad dream.

I turn onto my side, all I can see is the faint light of the moon through the window. I still have the pain in my stomach.

I fall back to sleep. Tomorrow is a new start to my life. Nothing should go wrong.

I hope.

---------------
Jack and Mark, still stuck in the room, have no luck of opening the door.

"Jack?" Mark says whispering. "Yeah?" he says, cuddling up to him on the floor. "I'm scared" he says, hugging him tightly.

"Don't worry, Marky" I kiss him on the forehead lightly. "I'll find a way out" But in my head, I'm scared too.
When we get out, if we get out, I'm gonna punch the person who locked us in here in the face, one punch man style.

*************
I wake up to Jack sleeping beside me. We look like right twats, sleeping on the floor. What choice do we have??

I ease myself out of sleeping Jacks grasp and look out the small window, sunlight was pouring into the room.

Sunshine makes me happy, you feel warm and cosy, and it reminds me of children playing in the gardens.
Children. Suddenly a thought comes into my head.

Laura!

Today is the day we are supposed to be adopting her! I run over to Jack, who is still asleep.
"JACK, love! Wake up! We forgot about Laura!"

He wakes up, standing up quickly. "Shit! We need to get out of here now!" He begins banging on the door, but it's no use.
I try banging on the window, but we are so high up, no one can see or hear us.

"Well, we should make a video!" Jack says, turning the camera on.
"How will that help?" I say walking over to him.

"Well, if we can't get out of here, we can at least make a video explaining what has happened so people can watch it if we, um, die" he says shuddering.
"Let's not think about that, well we have nothing else to do" I say, hugging him as we sit down.

I turn on the camera, I sit back down beside Jack, holding his hand.
I take a deep breath, and start to talk.

-----------------
Cristina walks in, smiling at me. I smile brightly back at her. I was ready to leave this place for good.

I wore my best clothes, black skinny jeans and my red jumper. I've packed all my other clothes and makeup into my suitcase.

"You ready to go?" Cristina says, hugging me. I see tears in her eyes. I hug her tightly, I'm going to miss her a lot.
"Yeah" I said smiling at her. "I'm going to miss you" "I'll miss you too" she says, sighing. "I remember when you first came here, you were so cute"

I laugh, I can't remember coming here, but it is my second home.
Cristina walks out of the room when she hears the phone ringing. It's not for me, I sigh with relief.

*********
It's been all day, Jack and Mark haven't come yet. I can feel something inside me saying there's something wrong. I have to do something about it.

I look at my window, and walk over to it. I have a plan.
I throw my suitcase out first, good thing I'm on the ground floor.
I slowly climb out of the window, barely fitting through. This feels wrong, but I need to know if they're okay. 

Then my walk begins. It wasn't a long journey in the car, but I know it'll be a long one when walking. It feels nice to not be stuck inside all day. I feel the sun on my skin, it's very warm outside. I instantly regret wearing a jumper.

I eventually make it to the block of flats where Jack and Mark live. I realise there's been an elevator here the whole time. I take it up to the twentieth floor, it takes forever, since the elevator is old.

Thankfully, I don't get stuck in there and it opens slowly. I pull out my suitcase and walk up to the door of their flat. I knock at the door and there's no answer. I try opening it. It's locked.

They can't be gone out, because they would've gone to the orphanage by now. I try shouting out "JACK! MARK! ARE YOU THERE?!"
I sigh, I begin to think they are gone out of town and I begin to walk back to the elevator. I suddenly hear a voice. It sounds like Jack's.

-------------------
"So, we've been stuck in here for the the past day, and we have no way ou-" I stop suddenly, I hear a voice faintly shouting our names.

"Mark? Is that Laura?" I say slowly but kind of excitedly, she has come to save the day.

"I think it is!" he says, standing up quickly. I shout back "YES! HELP US WE ARE STUCK INSIDE!"

I hear a shout back, "I'LL GO GET HELP!"

We are finally going to get out of this room, I hug Mark, never wanting to let go.
