Perfectly British In An American Dream

Chapter 5

"Who are you?" My aunt scowls down at me. "What are you doing here?" She aims this at Liam. "Hi, Are you Miss Masterson?" "Yes, and who are you?" "I'm constable Myers, I'm here to place Faye in your care." "My aunt finally seems to notice me again, "You must be my brothers child, why he ever made that mistake I don't know. You'd better come in then." We spent some time discussing how everything was going to work before I was shown round the tiny cottage.

Sitting inside my dingy room I looked around, the carpets were bare and the curtains were shredded so much that they barely hung to the rail. My bed wasn't so much a bed as a plank with a musty blanket on it and if I leant too far one direction it would topple off the stumpy legs it was balanced on. Liam helped me get settled in, but didn't seem too happy leaving me there. Now on my own I got into the bed and tried to forget the entire day had ever happened, it all seemed too much to handle. I spent a long time staring at the cobwebbed ceiling not really thinking just feeling numb and unable to move. In the end I think cried myself to sleep.

Bzzzzz Bzzzzzz. An alarm hurt my ears. "Uuuupppppp" a voice yelled from downstairs. I sat up like a jack in a box and quickly slipped into some clothes. I ran downstairs not wanting to be late for my Aunt on the first morning. "Breakfast," she ordered me, I then spent half an hour looking for everything she wanted plus I also found three dead moths, ten dead wood lice and what I think could of been a dead spider but I wasn't sure. All day I was practically her slave, but I didn't have the strength in me to stop it as I was still in shock over the death of my parents. The days turned into weeks turned into a month and nothing changed if anything it got worse. Liam came to visit once with a nice child protection lady, my aunt was very caring and loving when they were there, but it didn't last for long, as soon as they were gone she scolded me for being rude and set me to clean the entire house even though I did nothing wrong. I got through each day by remembering how I was an actress and how I used to have two separate lives, but at that moment I only had one which was much worse than both before.

It came to the day I had to sort out my old house, I spent a long time staring at the family photo on the wall of all three of us on our family ski trip, it almost made me happy to remember playing around in the snow and having snowball fights, that was before I remembered that I would probably never go skiing again. I carried on looking at different moments and photos before I went into my mums office to sort through her desk, I didn't know what was what or which papers were important or which could be chucked. While sorting through a certain pile I recognised one of the papers. It was the form for the film and it had been signed.

Really sorry the story is like exactly the same as Cinderella, but it changes really soon, I promise! Also this was just to set up the rest of the story. Please comment and vote it is really appreciated! Keep reading to find out more about what will happen with the form and where that will take her life!
