I turned a corner to see Annie and Izzy walking hand in hand. They hadn't noticed me yet so i crossed  the road to be safe. I was worried what they had done whilst i was away. In my mind i could hear my family and Annie shouting Beckie! Beckie! I kept walking though. It was raining harder now. I was daydreaming so much i had walked round the block about 6 times. I continued my journey home, avoiding people i knew. 

To get home i had to walk past Annie's house. I walked faster past it but i was seen. Annie ran out and hugged me (even though i was soaking wet) She brought me inside. I was shocked. We sat in her bedroom and drank hot chocolate. I told her my whole adventure and she said that she had made the wanted posters because she wanted me back. Annie said 'i didn't mean to scare you i just, i was, scared. Scared you were dead. She hugged me again to check i was ok. I asked her about Izzy and she said ' Izzy is going back to America tomorrow. She came down of 5 days so that her parents could do something with their work and so she could experience school here.I was walking her back to her parents.' Izzy has gone and now its just me and you. I thanked Annie lots and then continued home. 

It was only round the corner so i ran. I rang the doorbell lots and nobody answered. Tears ran down my face.   I ran round the back and waved in the kitchen window my dad saw me. He ran to the front door and welcomed me. I was so  happy. I shut the door and my mum ran in from the sitting room. I was so pleased that they didn't shout at me. They let me choose everything like the olden days. Dad put my things away whilst mum wrote down my whole adventure. I went upstairs to go to bed. I entered my bedroom it had changed.
