21st December

Ellie,

My eye hurts.

My stepdad tried to hit my mum last night in one of his drunk rages but I threw myself in front of her.

He left after that, probably just to go and drink even more with his mates.

As much as I love my mum, I was  beginning to it was a mistake.

My eye throbbed like hell as I got dressed. I had to go shopping, as per usual.

I walked out of the estate, only the cold reminding me it was near Christmas season.

Christmas only ever means cold for us, neither of my parents have a job, benefits is all we have.

I wonder what your doing this Christmas, probably meeting family and friends. 

Life is so great for you, you'd probably have so much better things to do than read my stupid letters.

A little part of me I telling  that you would care, but reality pulls  me back and shows me that your never going to read them anyway.

As I was walking to the shops though, that's when it happened.

The bitches from the posh estate just looked at me with disgust and started shouting 'Council Estate skank' and 'your mums a prostitue, that's the only way your family earns money'

The words stung, but not as much as my skin does now. They had their boyfriends with them who made short work of me, taking my money and beating me to a pulp.

I don't see why they took the money anyway, clearly out of pure spitefullness.

Their so rich they could pay to feed my family for months.

That's what we really need.

Its really late but I can't go to sleep, I'm so hungry.

Archie had a fit tonight because we had nothing to eat

He likes to have things in a order, like a timetable, and if it gets mixed up he hates it.

He's almost 14, but his mind is strange. He's fine with school, he loves science, but his social skills are not great. He hates changes, need things and people! he doesn't know.

I know Mum and Dad whish he was different, then maybe some things would be easier.

But I never wish he was

He's my brother and I love him just they way he is.

I wish I could say the same about myself
