>>

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.>>
