*Pollys POV*
It was midnight and as usual as part of my night routine I began to awake hearing a small pitter patter from down the hall, Ellie burst in crying, I waddled over in my old shaggy slippers still half asleep. This was completely normal for Ellie, she suffered from severe night terrors and I was the only one she trusted to comfort her while she struggled to calm herself down. She had only just turned 6 and she had been through more than my grandmother had in her whole life. Actually this is the story for most of us kids at pebble lane care home.

*flashback*
"I love you my darling girl" My grandmother choked as she feebly squeezed my hand with what seemed like the last bit of life left.
"Please dont leave me granny, not now I'm not ready, I am only 14 please granny dont give up!" I sniffled looking down at the drip keeping my only family member alive.
"Im sorry darling, Im so-so-sorry" She stuttered holding back tears.

*flahback over*

Ellies parents had perished in a house fire along with every over member of her family at a party, Ellie was only 3 weeks old and since then has been in care. She always suffered with night terrors but was afraid to tell anyone else I think i have really made a connection with her and I feel like  I am like a mother to her!
"I-I-Is it t-ime no-w P-P-Polly" she struggled to say as she was trying to be calm again.
"Of course my little Ellie Welly" I giggled yawning,  I flopped over to my bed lifted the spring infested mattress to reach my old crusty laptop.  I would love to change it I really would but laptops and mobiles were banned here, they thought it would cause mental problems!  I managed to keep this one from my grandmother before she died, but it was so old we all thought it would go before she did. 
"C-T-F-X-C" Ellie slowy spelt out as I typed it into youtube. We always watched them on here at 12 everynight we would watch their new video and both of us would go into a daze we would feel safe and like they were protecting us. Like Charles always says were a family.

This is the first chapter and my first attempt hopefully it will get better haha xxx
