What they said to me

Running Away

Intro - This gets really sad, I hope noone has to go through with this.
3rd October
Me, Meggi and The baby slowly crept out the door (me carrying the baby), suitcases in hand, bags and pockets full of food and money. It was the early hours of the morning, and the sun had just started to rise. I knew I was going to miss school, but I was glad about that. School was awful.
We tip-toed through the darkly-lit streets of London. After walking for MILES, I found a thick forest, blocked by a gate covered in thorns and brambles. I carelessly brushed them away. I climbed over the gate, holding the baby. Once I was over, I helped Meggi over as well. I took some cardboard out a by bag, and tried to make a little shelter, deep in the forest.
Soon, I was holding Louise and Meggi close to me, and we were all asleep.
It was night when I woke up. Meggi was crying - hard. Usually Meggi was a tough little thing. She clutched her tummy. Oops! I forgot she hadn't eaten anything since...two days ago! I got out some crackers from my bag, and she stuffed her face. I had some water, and so did Meggi. I tried to wake the baby up, so she could have some too. She didn't wake up. I shook her, more violently this time, but nothing. I checked her pulse - but I couldn't find it. I checked her heartbeat, but I couldn't feel it. I checked to see if she was breathing - she...wasn't. I looked at my baby sister. I realized...she had gone to the same place as my mum did. I kissed her forehead, and gently placed her down. She was gone.
