Life In Care

There's More To Come

That morning Mikki woke me up. "Saul, time to get you breakfast" she said from downstairs. I got up, not remembering I was in a foster home, and was looking around, and the room was pink. I said to myself. 'oh yes I'm in that woman's house'

I went into the bath room to have a wash.

Then I went downstairs to be fully woken up by a full English breakfast on the tablet.

"Wow thanks Mikki" I said to her wide eyed, she looked at me confused "have you never had breakfast made for you?" I replied "only on my birthday".

She looked shocked "well you'll get one every Friday morning from now on.

This was all new to me. Someone saying they'd have cooked breakfast every Friday. Good looking bathrooms. And a funny little woman looking after you.

*ding dong* the door bell went." I'll get it" Mikki said rushing to the door

It was my social worker picking me up to go school. Which was 35.3 miles away. So it was a long drive there but I didn't mind. I had the radio to listen to.

Mikki made me to get ready. And then I was off in the car to school.

I got to school that day after not being there for 4 days.

My friend asking me if I was ok. Where I was. Ect. And then Beccy said to me "you'll be ok as long as you've got music" and that made me feel safe for some reason...

The school bell went for lessons and we all went after I hugged some of my friends that just arrived to school
