By Stephanie
My name is Alice I’m sixteen years old.
>>
I’m living in New Zealand>>
I go to a real school know without getting home schooled>>
I’ve got heaps of friends>>
We all hung around where we can watch…>>
The BOYS play rugby>>
We moved here to get away from those men in Moscow>>
I’m at home playing on my new ba-xi
i-story
>>
I haven’t thought of a new game to make yet .>>
I can hear yelling and my mum crying>>
I stand up and peek through my door>>
My dad is standing at the door and mum is sitting on the couch crying
>>
my dad walks out the door>>
A familiar voice speaks it’s Brad>>
He tells me to go and comfort mum>>
I go and sit down on the floor>>
I could hear a faint mumble coming from mum>>
She looked up at me with her red teary eyes>>
And tells me to go and pack my stuff >>
I argued with mum, I didn’t want to leave I had so many friends
>>
But then mum broke down into more tears I couldn’t stand seeing her like this
>>
We drove down to the airport>>
Mum asked the lady at the counter for the next flight to any country
>>
The lady at the counter replied “the next flight will be to America at 7:00 tonight”
>>
We sat down and didn’t speak>>
The silence broke>>
Mum stood up and told me to grab my stuff>>
She took off in a blink>>
I couldn’t keep up with her I saw her for a second then I lost her>>
Great now everyone was going to no me as “the girl who always loses her parents”
>>
I heard my name faintly>>
Mum was waiting for me by the hallway door>>
My mum started walking at a normal pace again>>
We walked down the aisle and found our row of seats>>
Ming sat down in the corner by the window and I sat down on the outside of the aisle
>>
Ming looked at the seat in between us>>
And dumped her bag there>>
I looked at her I wanted to no so badly what happened>>
I couldn’t hold on any longer>>
I burst of a million tears came running down my cheeks >>
And I asked why? All Ming did was cradle me>>
And repeated over and over again>>
That she’ll never put me through that again and that it was over.>>
I couldn’t help seeing her cry but I can’t stand being in the middle of everything.
>>
I asked Ming if I was ever going t o see john again and she gave me a torn envelope
>>
I looked at her and she turned her head I began to read it to myself ....
>>
It was from john ...it had al contact details on it>>
then I realised that they were having a divorce and that Ming hadn’t just went on a ran from john
>>
I looked at her and she gave me a hug and said that she wouldn’t be able to ran away like that.
>>
After she explained everything to me the plane started to go down for landing and we looked out the window and found ourselves in
America.>>
