Her Smile

Chapter Õne

Mel
Cringing at the slightest sound her window made Mel indelicately (half fell) made it out of her second storey bedroom window. Swiftly hopping across the lower roof and shimmying down the old tree outside her house. Looking back at her family home with its peeling paint and rickety porch. All lights out and curtains drawn there was no sign of life and hardly ever was! It was Part of the reason she was leaving to be honest, well what would you do if you had no friends, was being bullied to the extent of fearing for your life and ignored at home! She knew she wouldn't miss this life as she stared back at the crumbling building shed called home for the past 17 years. She didn't know how she had coped all this time, and with that she pulled her hoodie up over her long dark hair tightly and swung her back pack onto her shoulder. Disappearing into the night unseen and unheard and unwanted!

The December chill was colder than she had thought so she wrapped her hoodie tighter around her.

She carried on silently slipping through the night earphones in, oblivious to the world around her until she finally reached the train station. Full of only excitement she rushed down the steps onto the platform and got on the first train that arrived, sat down and looked at where her destination would be. London.
