Unwanted Mistake
Hi, I'm Maddy. I'm 14 years old and basically a- wait, before I say, I'll have to start from the beginning of my life. So here we go:
I was born on the 13th April 1996. But guess what? I was an unwanted mistake. My parents didn't want children and I was left in a box, wrapped in a blanket, shivering in the cold on my first day in the world.
Luckily I was found by an old couple who was more than happy to take me into their care and look after me.
Unfortunely, at the age of 8 I was raped and I couldn't face the thought of telling my family so I ran away.
I basically became a vulnerable 8year old child out in the streets.
I got many funny looks as I walked through the streets of London by myself. I knew it wasn't safe but I had no choice.
I stayed in alley ways, ate food from rubbish bins and found old blankets to sleep in at night.
Then one day I met someone who made my life a whole lot easier.
"Hey" I heard a guys voice call and I turned around.
A guy who looked about my age was striding towards me.
"Hi" I tried to smile but my cheeks hurt too much.
"Are you okay?" he asked once he'd reached me and examined my bruised and dirty face. Not that he was clean himself, he also had dirt on his face and a few scratches here and there but not as much as me.
"Umm, yeah I'm fine"
"What are you doing?" he looked from me to the rubbish bin and back to me again.
"I'm looking for food" I said tiredly.
"You're homeless?" he asked.
"Yeah, got a problem?" I said, bracing myself for any homeless insults being shouted my way but he just stood there.
"What?" I asked getting annoyed.
"I'm homeless as well" he said quietly looking at the ground.
"Seriously?" I couldn't believe it. Someone like me! I was so excited that I wasn't the only one.
"Yeah. You're not the only one" he said sadly.
I felt so happy and sad at the same time that I couldn't resist the urge to hug him.
He pulled away surprised.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"I'm sorry, I just am so happy I'm not alone out here anymore" i felt my eyes welling up and they spilled over flowing down my cheeks like a waterfall.
"Aww, don't cry. I'm here now" he hugged me properly this time. "What's your name by the way?"
"Maddy" I mumbled into his chest.
"Maddy" he repeated. Then smiled. "You have a beautiful name Maddy, I'm Mitch"
