I was over the moon that it was my birthday although as I do everyday I write a little bit more of my song and today is the day that I finished my song.

The last verse is my favourite as I wrote it today and my acquaintance or dare I say it friend was the one who inspired me to write this:

The ballad of a dove
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when your really gonna need 'em oh

I just love it!
Ok enough about my song because my birthday is waaaayyyyyy more important than a little song that is probably rubbish anyway.
So I wake up ready for my birthday when I realise that it is Tuesday so you know what that means 'School'
Ugh
I completely forgot so I was late for school 😅
Thankfully the school bell didn't go that long ago so I sprint to Geography so I would make it in before Miss Iceling did the register.
I couldn't focus the whole period because I was too excited to open my birthday presents that my mum got me. Of course no-one in this school got me a present as no-one is my friend except from my new friend Sophia-who I sat next to in Geography by the way-. I talked to Sophia more today which is great because she couldn't no my real secret that people hate me for, I just can't tell her yet...
So it was the end of the day and I asked Sophia if she wanted to come to mine for my birthday but she was busy so she couldn't
come...unfortunately, but that's ok she barely knows me so I don't feel that upset.
I call my mum repetitively as I walked home again as I said I am waaaaayyyy to excited for opening presents. It taken longer to get home than usual(30 mins) but I got home safely so I can't complain. I get in to my house shout on my mum.... no answer. I shout again.... no answer. Ok 3rd time lucky..... no answer. Where is she I wondered?
I tried one last time "MUM!!!!" but still no answer. I had witnessed my favourite came sitting on the kitchen counter although I looked all around the house 🏡 and outside, I even called her a few times but still nowhere to be seen. Until I go out into our back garden, in our shed where there she is lying on the floor dead with blood coming out of her head. I was looking at her with distraught and couldn't believe that my mother was dead. Even worse she was dead beside my presents. But what happened? I thought in despair. As I was looking for clues there I found a note on the ground next to her reading
" Dear) Taylor
I'm sorry that I did this to you, that I killed myself with no notice. I only did it to make you happy so you had one less thing to care about in this world, one last thing to annoy you and make you feel upset because you had no-one. I'm sorry to have done this on your Birthday but it was the quickest way. You will now live with your grandma Mary until further notice.There is a birthday cake in the kitchen for you.. it's your favourite!
Happy Birthday my young one
Lots of Love
