I am not going to put warnings because I don't want to ruin it, but there's a lot of difficult subjects in the book...

Izzy Pov:

I'd had enough, I was sick of the orphanage, sick of myself. I had left so currently I'm walking around in London not knowing where to go. It was around 2am when id escaped and it's 3:05am now.

My body aches and I just wanted everything to end. My family are dead, died in a car crash when I was 7 so just old enough to have it burnt into my memory.
I'm 14 now and not doing well. In fact I think I'm going insane every things fucked. I make my way to a bridge preparing myself for an easy way out. The voices in my head were getting louder and I feel the last bit of energy drain out of me as I see the bridge.
I was ready.

I inch closer till I'm there. A group of two boys and a man holding a camera walk past though the camera wasn't on. I wait for them to pass. They walk past me slowly and stare at me. Once they pass, I place one hand on the railing. I get chills, I don't know if it's
the cold or what I'm about to do but I don't like it. I place my other hand on the green railing and I begin
to lift my legs other. Just as I'm doing that though I feel 2 hands grab my shoulders and pull me back.
The keep a strong grip and I feel to stunned to move.

The darker skinned shorter male is behind me and the white tall male kneels down in front of me.
Simon: I'm Simon and this is Tobi and we're gonna help you alright.
They must've come back. I should've waited longer, I'm so stupid.
Simon: could you tell me your name
He gives me a weak smile and I shake my head no.
Simon: do you have parents, grandparents, older siblings we could call?
I shake my head no again.I'm frozen to the spot, petrified they're going to take me back.
Simon: orphanage?
And with that for the 1st time in months I let silent tears escape my eyes
Simon: right that's okay it's okay

He stands up and Tobi guides me of the bridge slowly, walking me to a near by bench and forcing me to sit down before he sits next to me. My leg bounces up and down rapidly and I begin to cry a bit more. Tobi picks up my arms inspecting the cuts and bruises on my arms. Simon calls my orphanage on loudspeaker And Kelly picks up... she's not nice

Kelly:it's 3:45 am why the fuck are you calling me
Simon: erm have you got a child missing
Kelly: fucking hell let me check
Kelly: GUYS WHERE IS HELLISH
Simon:hellish? Is that a name
Kelly: no just a nickname for Izzy
Simon: well we've got her here now... erm she's just tried to jump of a bridge
Kelly: bring her back now She's in so much trouble

Then she hangs up and I start to sob. Tobi stands up and whispers for me to get on his back and I do so.
I'm so terrified of going back but there's no way out, that was my last shot at freedom. I fall asleep.

Simons Pov:

She's fallen asleep... this is not what I expected for tonight. She seemed so scared and I don't want to take her back. She has dark purple bruises all over her and what the fuck is the nickname hellish, that's awful. She looks so drained and malnourished...

Simon: let's adopt her
Tobi: are you fucking insane!
Simon: look at her do u really want to leave her there
Tobi: we can't just make that decision...
Simon: well we're not far off the meeting point and due to this I'm guessing we'll be last there
Tobi: how far off is the orphanage?
Simon: not far off the meeting point

I tell the camera man to get a taxi home and I give him some money. I don't see why we shouldn't adopt her... she's in need, we have spare bedrooms and a lot of people to make sure she's safe. I want to go meeting point convince the boys the adopt her and take her home.

Hope ur all well and enjoyed it😆
