the life of mine

chapter one

Before you start reading this, I would just like to apologize for any mistakes I make with either capitals grammer or commas etc feel free to correct me as I am dyslexic but trying my best I always fancied writing a story so this is my first

it was a lovely day out today, the sun is beaming outside and today is my fifth birthday I'm super excited! my mum said that she is going to make my birthday one to remember. she said I'm going to have a really big bright pink cake my friends round from play group and a bouncy castle and kareoke, I jumped out of my bed and ran out of my bedroom door to my mums room to wake her up, as she promised me she was going to take me to the hairdressers to have my long blonde hair curled. I jumped on to her bed started bouncing shouting wake up mummy wake up today's my birthday wake up WAKE UP! after fifteen minutes of me trying to wake my mum up she finally got up out of bed, she walked over to her wardrobe and showed me a gorgeous pink dress she had got me! I was so happy as pink is my favorite colour, and the dress was absolutely beautiful.

hours had passed I had been watching Pokemon on TV for ages waiting for my mum to take me to the hairdressers like she had promised me, but I started to realize that wasn't going to happen, my mum has a habit of never sticking to what she promises me. my mum brought the curlers out of her bedroom and started to curl my hair herself. at this point I realized she had blown the money on her drugs last night but it was fine I knew she needed them as my mum was always telling me if she doesn't she wouldn't be happy and I don't want my mum to be unhappy.

as the clock striked four a few of my friends had turned up to my party from playgroup we was all singing inside on the kareokee, eating some of the snacks from the buffet table. "there was a knock at the door" one of the parents went to answer the door it was social services. they started talking to the woman who had answered the door all I heard was them say they are social services one of the other parents grabbed me and took me into the living room and shut the door so I couldn't hear what was being said. I sat there waiting in silence wondering what was happening I didn't understand what I had done wrong, the woman sat with me kept telling me not to worry, I asked where my mum was that I want my mummy and she said that my mum had just nipped to the shops. social services came through, the woman seemed really nice she asked me what my name was I replied with Louise, she said how old are you Louise I said I'm five its my birthday today, she said yes it is isn't it your a big girl now aren't you. I said yes I am. the lady said to me ; because you are a big girl now Louise can I ask you to do a big girl thing for me. I said sure what's that. "please can you come up to your room with me pick one of your favorite teddy bears and a toy and then we will take them outside to the car and you be really brave for me" so I said sure is my mum coming to. she replied with no not at the moment sweetheart. so I did as I was told and grabbed my teddy bear of my bed, and went out to the car with the lady. she fastened me into the back seat of the car and she then got in to the car, and started to explain to me that I am going on a little holiday to stay with another family for a little while, I asked why she just said to me, its just while we look in to things you haven't done anything wrong and it is just a little holiday. I didn't ask anything else after that I kind of understood what was happening my mum had mentioned in the past social services was keeping an eye on us.

I arrived at the foster home I went inside with the lady, she introduced me to beth and ian who was going to be my gardiens for tempary while my mum isn't here to look after me. the lady left, beth asked me if I was hungry, but I didn't answer I was just upset and wanted to go home. there was lots of kids running around I was so scared and felt so shy, she asked me would you like me to show you to your room. I just nodded my head, she took me up to my room and said how this was my bed and that I would be sharing my room with another girl called holly who was 6 and that she would be taking good care of me and how tomorrow when everyone is at school she is going to take me for some clothes.
