My name is Cassie Sugg. I have long, dark brown hair and blue eyes and I am the daughter of Zoe Sugg. She's not my real mum though. My real mum abandoned me when I was born. I don't know who she is and I don't intend to find out. The only thing I know about her is that she gave birth to me in an alley somewhere and left me outside the police station, wrapped in a blanket with a note next to me, it only had one word on it. Cassie.

The police found me and took me to the hospital to check if I was ok. I was. From then on, I lived in a house with other children who had no parents. I hated it there. I would leave whenever I had the chance and I got into a lot of trouble for it. Then one day, when I was 13, I ran away. I went to a park somewhere, I had no idea where I was and it had started to rain. That's when Zoe found me. She took me back to her house and took care of me. She let me sleep at her house for the night and took me back to the 'orphanage' the next morning. I didn't see her again for a while, but then a few weeks later, she came to see me. She said she had been talking to the people who looked after me at the orphanage and I could go and live with her. I did.

Legally she is my mum, but I don't see her as that, and she doesn't see me as a daughter either, we see eath other as best friends. People who can talk to each other about anything, and because the age gap isn't that big, we can relate more.

I'm seventeen now and I've been living with Zoe for four years. I don't have a dad. When I first moved in with Zoe, she was dating Alfie Deyes, but when she told him about me, he said he was sorry but he couldn't handle the responsibility, and he left. Zoe was really upset about it and I told her that I didn't want to cause any trouble and she should just take me back so she could be with Alfie again. She didn't. She and Alfie are still friends though.
