Chapter
One. The morning of DOOM!
As soon as I woke up I sensed something was wrong . I opened my
eyes and watched the specks of dust dance in the air. It was late.
I didn't have a clock in my room but I just knew it was
late.
"MUM!?" I screamed. I could sense panic in my voice. I
had visions of the last time she went. Exactly 10 day and 3 hours.
I was counting the minutes and seconds but she didn't come. I
was scared to death that mum hadn't taken her pills. Mum has
bipolar. When I was little me and mum would kid that she was a
polar bear. But now that I understood, it was scary. I was sick of
mums silly games. Sometimes I wish I didn't have to be the mum,
I wish I could spread my wings and soar in the sky and fly away
from my problems...but sometimes you have to face reality, suddenly
the image of me soaring in the air like a bullet faded. And I was
standing in a cold gloomy attic. I realised I yelled for Mum too
loud, now my little sister Jo was standing with Bethany my other
sister, they were hand in hand with their fingers stuck in their
mouths. Sometimes I wish I could stick my fingers in my mouth and
not have a care in the world, but life..well it does NOT work like
that...
